I can't listen to that without his dubbed voice reminding me of Spottswoode from Team America

Did some reading and both sound pretty damn good!

I hadn't thought of that Chelsea's youth team seem to be very good - Which is even more impressive when there were 35+ players out on loan as well!

JENKINS TARGETS JOE ALLEN Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins has expressed his interest in bringing Joe Allen back to the club from Liverpool, with rumours continuing to link the Wales international with his boyhood team. "I think it's been well documented that Joe is going to look at his future when he is finished out at Euro 2016," Jenkins told the Daily Mirror. "Naturally, we are interested in good players like Joe who may be available this summer given that he has a year left on his contract. Obviously we will keep tabs on his situation and see what happens later in the summer."

I'm calling it. Chelsea to win the JPT. (I assume this would be the U21's?) Need MLG to confirm.

Apologies if there is a similar thread. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/14550335.Saints_academy_team_could_play_in_revamped_JPT/?ref=rss Interesting though.

Good stuff as always mate. I echo your final statement too - Lets hope all goes through safely & that the tournament is just spoken about for the football.

You know they are going to come in for Bertrand...

Ha ha! I ruled them out as they want to spend £30m on one.

I'm going for Bournemouth & Stoke (Or Palace)

I wouldn't necessarily disagree with that. Certainly had a good Toulon tournament, so scouts would have flagged him up. 6 goals & 2 assists in the league last season too. We seemed have have been linked with him every year since he's made his break-through at Birmingham. We've been linked with a few right-wingers already: - Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - Pione Sisto - Andros Townsend - Nathan Redmond - Jordon Ibe Hard to say where Redmond ranks amongst that lot.

The McClaren thing was started by me saying "Thank f*ck Steve McClaren has been mentioned" AFTER K.Billy said the mystery is someone who hasn't been mentioned. There's nothing in it.

The Times reportedly has a piece regarding Norwich's transfer situation that apparently states we are winning the race for Redmond. As The Times has a pay-wall up, I've linked to the Stoke Sentinel's mention of it.

Which isn't the worst idea in the world.

I find it interesting how Guan's shortlist from February included AvB / Moyes / De Boer are now seemingly ruled out by K.Billy's list (especially when the 3 of them are now not under contract with anybody).

I'm hopeful nearly all of our signings should be better for next season: Cedric / Martina / Romeu / Clasie / Austin

BARCA SCOUT PORTUGAL TRIO Barcelona's sporting director Robert Fernandez scouted three players during Portugal’s 7-0 defeat of Estonia on Wednesday, reports Mundo Deportivo. Barca are bracing themselves for a busy summer of transfer activity, with the La Liga champions considering bringing in a right-back, a back-up forward, a centre-back, a left-back and a central midfielder. Fernandez travelled to Lisbon earlier this week and monitored the displays of Southampton full-back Cedric Soares, Lorient left-back Raphael Guerreiro and Valencia midfielder Andre Gomes, 22, who is also wanted by Man Utd. While Barca are interested in Cedric, the Southampton man is behind the likes of Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin, Valencia’s Joao Cancelo, Sevilla’s Mariano and Chelsea’s Juan Cuadrado on their right-back shortlist.

Price of €9m euros mentioned here. http://www.insidefutbol.com/2016/06/09/juventus-have-price-in-mind-for-everton-and-stoke-target-graziano-pelle/289850/

He never really nailed down a position (and likewise, we never seemed to know where to play him). If anything, he was probably thought of as playing off the main striker.
