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.

Have a good one.

WTF?! BREAKING NEWS!! Guan is Ronald! - K.Billy is Louis Van Gaal!?

Guan is back in the house! Any news on players wanting out? (or incomings?)

I'm not one of the people down on him - I'm just not convinced he'd leave Bournemouth for us.

I'd like to see the home-kit with inverted colours on the sponsor logo. (white patch, red text)

Yay! - We have ONE manager thread now! Is Low too obvious?

Hasn't been mentioned - but also a question - where the hell is Frank Rijkaard these days?

Thank f*ck Steve McClaren has been mentioned!

Good shout but has been mentioned. To be fair, Pellegrini being in the running opens up the possibility of a whole host of different options.

K.Billy said not mentioned - He's been mentioned before

& Vitor Pereira

What I would love to know from that (I know his 3 posts are done) - is - would we not get him as he's an unknown? - Or because we would know him, but he's not been mentioned?

It's interesting what you (me) forget: Guan said this about Pellegrini: I love all this ITK stuff!
