SuperSAINT

TBF, after recovering from sadness after they shamefully hauled down the Jimmy Krankie statue - I'm pretty much battle hardened to anything.

We will need every bit of that £5m (and probably more) to get him then.

Wanting & getting are 2 different things though. (Rojo / Hernandez etc) I think Guan added him retrospectively last night.

Very good piece by Adam Leitch at the echo: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/14537621.COMMENT__Why_Koeman_move_would_hurt_so_much/

So Everton total outlay on him with be £26m.

What a little scrotum. I can't help but check his twitter occasionally though, just to wind myself up.

I'm sure he'll be fine with his 140k a week

I still want to hear about this "New Direction" that we've heard about - I assume that's linked to a new coach?

Interesting post. Don't buy that last bit though!

Crystal Palace poised to trigger Andros Townsend’s release clause at Newcastle: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/7194444/Crystal-Palace-poised-to-trigger-winger-Andros-Townsends-8million-release-clause-at-Newcastle.html

Let's get Pione Sisto in regardless.

No - I think we will know this one

Makes a lot of sense.

Weird if we signed Wijnaldum AFTER Koeman leaves.

About to do some reading on Emery: http://outsideoftheboot.com/2015/07/23/tactical-philosophy-unai-emery/

I read this article on AVB earlier: http://outsideoftheboot.com/2015/07/28/tactical-philosophy-andre-villas-boas/ Worth a read.

It was more of a speculative guess on our part rather than a strong hint

Interestingly, FdB's agent is Ronald's old agent.

In fairness, he's the one who got the quote from Koeman's agent.

Listening to radio solent - They played a clip from Five live last night with Lewis Coombes who stated that Koeman's old agent favoured him staying at Saints.

Signed Austin & Ings though didn't he? Could argue others profited from what he set up.

I know we are all allowed opinions & I enjoy reading the diversity of names that people would like here, but can we stop mentioning Ancelotti?!

Great minds again, mate. Was just going to post this: Reed talks about how we found Poch & talks about the hunt for a coach after he left (Pre-Ronald)
