Simon Hughes ‏@Simon_Hughes Sammy Lee very unlikely to follow Ronald Koeman to Everton. Could be joining Rafael Benítez's coaching staff at Newcastle.

Jack Sullivan ‏@jsullivanwhu Just spoke to dad, we are not interested in Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain!

3 posts and hopefully that's it for the day.

I weirdly remember him from either an early Football Manager or Championship Manager.

God, I'm pathetic as I literally have no idea. I'm going to go with Clarkey's Top 3 choices for the European experience factor - and that they seem to suit the mould of young coach. My pick will be Emery (despite me doubting he'd want it).

TBF, after recovering from sadness after they shamefully hauled down the Jimmy Krankie statue - I'm pretty much battle hardened to anything.

We will need every bit of that £5m (and probably more) to get him then.

Wanting & getting are 2 different things though. (Rojo / Hernandez etc) I think Guan added him retrospectively last night.

Very good piece by Adam Leitch at the echo: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/14537621.COMMENT__Why_Koeman_move_would_hurt_so_much/

So Everton total outlay on him with be £26m.

What a little scrotum. I can't help but check his twitter occasionally though, just to wind myself up.

I'm sure he'll be fine with his 140k a week

I still want to hear about this "New Direction" that we've heard about - I assume that's linked to a new coach?

Interesting post. Don't buy that last bit though!

Crystal Palace poised to trigger Andros Townsend’s release clause at Newcastle: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/7194444/Crystal-Palace-poised-to-trigger-winger-Andros-Townsends-8million-release-clause-at-Newcastle.html

Let's get Pione Sisto in regardless.

No - I think we will know this one

Makes a lot of sense.

Weird if we signed Wijnaldum AFTER Koeman leaves.

About to do some reading on Emery: http://outsideoftheboot.com/2015/07/23/tactical-philosophy-unai-emery/

I read this article on AVB earlier: http://outsideoftheboot.com/2015/07/28/tactical-philosophy-andre-villas-boas/ Worth a read.

It was more of a speculative guess on our part rather than a strong hint

Interestingly, FdB's agent is Ronald's old agent.

In fairness, he's the one who got the quote from Koeman's agent.
