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.

*Keeping everything crossed*

Didn't expect to see an interview like that today. So far, so good. (Did I detect an in-direct shot at Pardew near the beginning?)

Both figurative (and literal) bridge between those would be Wayne Bridge?

Totally agree. Would be good to get this one done & dusted.

Sounds like we are looking into a couple of different options with Fulham in regards to re-signing Stek. http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/fulham-deal-southampton-maarten-stekelenburg-11378039?

I don't think this problem is just a problem at Saints. Seems to be spread all over - Nobody seems to be producing them.

Funnily enough, I watched that this morning. Is it the guy at the top? http://www.wasserman.nl/het-bedrijf/medewerkers/

Sky Sources: West Ham in advances talks to sign Besiktas winger Gokhan Tore. #SSNHQ

Not officially, but he's out of contract this summer and he's not signing a new one.

LvG is apparently heading to his Villa (next door to Ron). Interesting conversation, perhaps?

He's not everyone's cup of tea, but Redmond has just absolutely leathered one in from 30 yards for the U21's tonight. (JWP scored too).
