You've answered your own question

Certainly worth more than Sterling. Lets just say "IF" he's hell-bent on going: Would you take £40m this summer? or would you keep him one more season & sell for £15m next summer?

The Sun Football ‏@TheSunFootball EXCLUSIVE: Southampton slap £40m price tag on Sadio Mane as Liverpool step up pursuit http://thesun.uk/6016BtvhI (Not quite sure how it's an exclusive)

Yeah, it **might** work on the continent - but it wouldn't work here at all.

You've got a thread to update

Voted Pellegrini but think it will be Puel. Not one person seems to tick every box we want. But I'd go for Pellegrini - Proven pedigree & will have the experience to keep us on an even keel. Granted, he won't play the pressing game. But I wouldn't strictly say that Ronald did either & we didn't do too badly.

Good news. Jack Schitt is indeed added to the ITK list.

Interesting that we are linked with both Kostic & Kapustka? Both left-sided players. Think we'd sign both (Assuming Tadic stays?)

I think he'll add another string to their bow. He's a pure destroyer & they don't really have that. Also free's up Dier to drop back into a defence if needed. I think Vic will win them points in Europe against the bigger sides. We know how effective he is for us when you're up against it.

So is Frank de Boer off the list now?

I need to think this over. I wonder what happened with the Rudi talks?

Prank de Boer?

Who'd have thought that would be the short-list 2 weeks ago!

Pellegrini & FdB don't play high-pressing game do they?

Think it's 20% of the sale.

This is quite a "Saints" type of signing... Competing against Utd & Napoli though

Very true. I don't begrudge him the move (I just wish we got more ££'s for him) - But to be honest - Around £11m or £12m was realistic with a year to go. Not to mention, there was hardly a bidding war.

Celtic get around 20% of that £11m too

He could be the French version of @timdewit who was 1st with the Koeman to Everton news.
