SuperSAINT

Excellent post, Armstrong! I think back to an interview with Ralph from a season or 2 ago when he said "we know who we are". I think it's quite a salient point. I don't think we are quite as naive as we seem.

Rob Draper Tweet: Understand that Ronald Koeman has agreed terms with #EFC. Only compensation needs to be agreed with Soton now. More details @MailSport

I assumed he wouldn't be interested. He'd be awesome though.

Here's the article: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/southamptons-everton-target-ronald-koeman-8110971

He was very early favourite then. Probably all because he's Swiss

Sky sources: #ManchesterUnited WILL sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic on one-year deal. Andy Burton on #SSNHQ next with full story. Online shortly too

I know

Jeremy Wilson: Ronald Koeman situation will also develop over the weekend - Everton and Southampton began direct talks for 1st time today

Ironic Wenger going for Vardy when they probably need Kante more.

Tweet: Understand that Arsenal have triggered the release clause in Jamie Vardy's contract. Leicester still determined to keep hold of him. Whoa!

Quality

True, but for now I will go with pangy's elaborate sleuthing #WelcomeAVB

Nice work! - so this means somebody you mentioned is in contention? (Happy with any of the ones you mentioned)

SUNDERLAND MAKE £11M SAKHO BID Sunderland have made an £11m offer for West Ham striker Diafra Sakho, according to Sky sources. However, we are still waiting to hear whether that bid has been accepted by the Hammers.

Confirmed:

BREAKING: Sky Sources - Ryan Giggs expected to leave Manchester United this summer due to his strong desire to become a manager #SSNHQ

I don't know anymore Adrian. They used to mean that - But the rules seem to have been relaxed for certain clubs. Maybe I've got that wrong.

But the wild-card is the new share-holder, Charlie. His plan might well blow ours out of the water for all we know.

Well, Ronald did say that thing's like this can be agreed very quickly.

I'll give you that one!
