SuperSAINT

I love his transfer updates - That's my new favourite.

Doesn't matter - he's ex-Barcelona which is Stoke's main criteria these days.

AFFELAY'S STOKE MEDICAL Sky sources, Olympiakos midfielder Ibrahim Affelay is having a medical at Stoke City.

Is that happening?!

BENFICA EYE EX-SAINT Benfica will rival Real Betis for the signature of former Southampton striker Dani Osvaldo, reports A Bola. Osvaldo, the Italy international, is available on a free transfer after his contract at St Mary’s was terminated by the Saints earlier this month. The 29-year-old’s agent recently revealed that Betis have been in touch to enquire about signing the Argentina-born hitman, but A Bola says the newly promoted La Liga club will now face competition from Portuguese giants Benfica, who want him to reinforce their attack.

It's not right that I love both the Juanmi & Bertrand songs is it? Quality from Saint Nacho.

To be fair to you -- That was his best game by a mile for us.

Billy Sharp reunited with Nige @ Sheff Utd.

I remember you posting that link too. This article has a quote from him:

They got a great fee for Shane - But then spent nearly all of it on Abel Hernandez

This must be a new record? http://www.sportinastorm.com/Premier-League/Tottenham-Hotspur/Spurs-keeping-tabs-on-new-Saints-target/X1Y80Z1953236?

Point being they could might bid a couple of million more than us. Worked for us on Big Vic.

They would (in theory) have £30m+ burning a hole in their pocket.

@TotalDutchFB: Roberto Martinez (#Everton) first choice to replace John Stones is Virgil van Dijk (#Celtic), who costs roughly £10m.

I know the price is premium for British players, but £10m for Chester with a year to go on his contract (in a team that got relegated) is pretty damn high. Then again didn't Norwich bid around £7.5m for Robbie Brady?! I'd guess Chester is an alternative to Virgil van Dijk. Our 4th choice DC will probably be a lot less than £10m

A loan away will do him good - as long as he plays and goes to decent club. MK Don's wouldn't be a bad shout.

It wouldn't be a summer transfer window without an Arsenal director saying how much money they have in the bank.

Agreed. I think he'd suit Bournemouth quite well.

NEW BOYS EYE DJURICIC The Daily Mirror say Premier League new boys Bournemouth and Norwich are both keen on a move for Benfica's Filip Djuricic. The Serbian midfielder, 23, spent time on-loan with Southampton last season
