SuperSAINT

Wasn't Steve Davis one of the senior pro's the club spoke with when Poch left as well? (Along with Kelv & Jose?)

Different sorts of players though. Tadic slower, more technical, with eye for a pass. Redmond more of an out-and-out winger with pace. Nice to have different tools in the tool box.

Smart too, because if they turn out to be good signings, being English seemingly double's their value (as seen with Sterling's fee).

^ Isn't he their captain?

I'd be very happy with that as it means no Forster bid.

KOEMAN KEEN ON KRUL AND WITSEL Everton boss Ronald Koeman will make Newcastle No 1 Tim Krul his first signing after taking over at Goodison Park on Tuesday, says the Daily Express. Meanwhile, the Dutchman is also said to be pondering a summer swoop for Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Axel Witsel.

Assuming the OS won't re-tweet that

I wonder if it's £8m, rising to £11m. Vegard Forren

CHELSEA'S £32M GOMES BID REJECTED Chelsea have had a bid of £32m rejected by Valencia for Portugal international Andre Gomes, according to Sky sources. It is understood Valencia are keen to drive up the fee for Gomes due to a sell-on clause in place between themselves and his former club, Benfica, a stance which has left Valencia and Chelsea approximately £10m apart in their valuation of the player. SSN HQ has been told Benfica are due to receive 25% of any transfer fee Valencia receive for the player who only arrived at the Mestalla stadium 12 months ago. Valencia are believed to want to generate £32 million from his sale for themselves, and are therefore holding out for approximately £42m.

Would rather have Delia Smith

How long has Ernesto Valverde been in the odds running? He's currently 16/1 on SkyBet. Not seen him mentioned before (Aside from 1 mention on here)

There's been A LOT of names banded about though!

Wasn't there there weird situation where he was thinking about going to Charlton... Thought about it... played squash with Eddie Mitchell, announced he was staying... then Burnley came in and he went there straight away!

PELLE ATTRACTING ATTENTION Following his goalscoring exploits in Italy's Euro 2016 opening-round victory against Belgium, speculation surrounding Southampton striker Graziano Pelle has grown. Juventus are long-term suitors for the Saints forward but, following Italy's victory in Lyon, AC Milan are now also thought to be chasing Pelle. But could the 30-year-old remain in the Premier League? Well, Sky Sport Italy claim West Ham and Everton, now managed by former Saints boss Ronald Koeman, have been alerted to the Italian.

Isn't that just a copy from the Mirror tweet last night?

Is Bergkamp still at Ajax?

Dortmund's scouting is on point this window!

Yeah, we've certainly been linked with him for quite some time. He gives us that "out and out winger" option too. Plus we've got extra games in the Europa to contend with. Will be good to get him on the bus. (Do we still have a bus?)

I'd be exceptionally excited if we had the deal done BEFORE the euros.

So not such an impeccable source then? Shame, I'm in the minority, but I'd be happy to have him back.

Exactly. I don't recall Pep Guardiola talking about Sturrock's Plymouth in his book

The Times eluded to it a few days ago - but it's behind a pay wall. Mirror are the only one's reporting the medical as far as I'm aware.

If the criteria of manager that we are looking for to press high & fast, I think most prospective managers would like Shane Long.
