Listening to radio solent - They played a clip from Five live last night with Lewis Coombes who stated that Koeman's old agent favoured him staying at Saints.

Great minds again, mate. Was just going to post this: Reed talks about how we found Poch & talks about the hunt for a coach after he left (Pre-Ronald)

Excellent post, Armstrong! I think back to an interview with Ralph from a season or 2 ago when he said "we know who we are". I think it's quite a salient point. I don't think we are quite as naive as we seem.

Rob Draper Tweet: Understand that Ronald Koeman has agreed terms with #EFC. Only compensation needs to be agreed with Soton now. More details @MailSport

Jeremy Wilson: Ronald Koeman situation will also develop over the weekend - Everton and Southampton began direct talks for 1st time today

Ironic Wenger going for Vardy when they probably need Kante more.

Tweet: Understand that Arsenal have triggered the release clause in Jamie Vardy's contract. Leicester still determined to keep hold of him. Whoa!

Quality

True, but for now I will go with pangy's elaborate sleuthing #WelcomeAVB

Nice work! - so this means somebody you mentioned is in contention? (Happy with any of the ones you mentioned)

SUNDERLAND MAKE £11M SAKHO BID Sunderland have made an £11m offer for West Ham striker Diafra Sakho, according to Sky sources. However, we are still waiting to hear whether that bid has been accepted by the Hammers.

Confirmed:
