Halfway through. Loving it so far...

It's usually around 20%.

He has now: https://cards.twitter.com/cards/rh0us/1sf6j Will Britt also not retained.

Southampton and Juventus could be involved in a swap deal this summer if a report in Gazzetta dello Sport is to be believed. The report suggests Saints are interested in signing striker Simone Zaza and they are ready to offer Italian striker Graziano Pelle to the Serie A champions as part of the deal.

Anyone watch the England U21's tonight? Redmond scored again.

Nah, he's in St Barts.

No jealousy from me. (I like him too - I found it interesting he'd be available for £11m though).

1 more year.

Will be lucky to get half of that £25m. (Especially with Levy bidding)

And that figure *probably* doesn't include last summers signings.

That told me!

Is that all? Source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/05/25/rafa-benitez-armed-with-large-transfer-budget-after-agreeing-new/

IIRC, didn't we loan Jack Stephen's out pretty much straight after Les made those statements? I think we keep the younger ones in house, but are more likely to send the older ones out (which I totally agree with) McQueen / Isgrove / Stephens / Turnball / McCarthy clearly too good for the U21's now. I still say Gazza & Reed should have gone out last season too.

Yeah, with Mane. Ibe strikes me as being an out & out winger.

Yeah, the report is basically a copy & paste of yesterday's salient news from this forum.

Link to Jordon Ibe buried in this article on Liverpool's signing of their new keeper. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/05/24/liverpool-sign-475m-goalkeeper-loris-karius-from-mainz/ I've always quite liked him, so I'd be quite happy with this. LOTS of potential.

Ah! I think Rob Jansen is the guy who is Stek's agent too. Les has dealt with him before (as per 'The March' YouTube video)

LEWIS COOMBES ‏@LEWIS_C Confirmed: #Koeman last week switched agents from @playersunited to @WassNetherlands. He'd been with the former for 5 years. #saintsfc LEWIS COOMBES ‏@LEWIS_C #Koeman's new representatives at @WassNetherlands will be meeting #SaintsFC Exec Director Les Reed later this week to discuss contract. LEWIS COOMBES ‏@LEWIS_C Ronald Koeman's former agent also confirmed today #EFC asked to speak to #SaintsFC boss 2 wks ago. Told no discussions until after season.

On another note, the video above sounds like it could be part of a bigger one too. Hopefully we'll see that soon too. Probably talking about the season in general.

A top read as per usual, mate. I look forward to reading some more in the off-season.
