SuperSAINT

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.

Thing is, how would Blanc or Deschamps not be "stepping stones". I don't mind a "stepping stone" coach if it means they have had great success here.

Deschamps? If it's Remi Garde we are in trouble

We haven't had a Saints related this mysterious since the Magnificent Seven wanted to buy the club.

& if K.Billy is saying he hasn't been mentioned on here then he must be a particularly left-field choice.

ATALANTA TARGET PALOSCHI Swansea are in talks with Atalanta about selling striker Alberto Paloschi, according to Sky sources. A deal worth around £5m is being negotiated. Paloschi joined Swansea for £8m from Chievo in January and scored two goals for the club.

Now that would be a strange world where we don't fancy FdB, but we want Oscar Garcia?

Can we rename the thread title to get his name right, please?!?

Mystery man is going to have to have a hell of a cv if he beats Garcia to the job.

Will be worth looking at how he got on with Totti & De Rossi - both legends at Roma.

Is he? Or is that just a cunning cover for his scouting of players for us?

Better keep him away from Kenzie Benali then!

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport If odds dropping on Rudi Garcia being next #saintsfc are doing so for good reason, I would be pretty excited if I were a #saintsfc fan Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport Garcia fits #saintsfc bill - makes impact at clubs, happy to play youth, has an attacking style of play & lots of European experience
