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

Adam Leitch ‏@adamleitchsport The full story on #saintsfc chase for a new centre half http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/13496686.Defender_signing_Saints__priority__after_Gardos_injury_blow/?ref=fbpg

Sounds like a bad one for Gardos... Adam Leitch ‏@adamleitchsport For those asking about @floringardos5 he has suffered a knee injury and is expected to be out for a number of months. #saintsfc

Telegraph Football ‏@TeleFootball Abou Diaby reported to have opened talks with West Brom over free transfer to the Hawthorns http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/west-bromwich-albion/11758644/Abou-Diaby-in-talks-with-West-Brom-over-free-transfer.html

He seems to think Sam has a few options and will go where he will play.

If K.Billy gives us a positive update on this, I'll reward him with his own t-shirt

Merely posted the Bolasie link out of interest. Last I remember - Palace put a £30m tag on his head (!) I think our interest in Virgil is genuine. (K.Billy pretty much indicated that's true).

Spurs, West Ham and Aston Villa have all made enquiries for Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie. And Sky Sources are telling us the Eagles are expecting a bid from at least two of those clubs. Bolasie was particularly impressive in the second half of last season under boss Alan Pardew, even scoring a hat-trick at Sunderland.

Like we did with Tadanari Lee? Surprised we've not announced it.

Florin Gardos

Guessing we've just left him behind after telling him he's got no future. We're probably stuck with him as nobody will pay the wages he's on.

Would be a good move for him (assuming he plays there).

Benteke signing confirmed. So Rodgers has now finished signing 3 strikers to replace the one's he's f*cked up in previous transfer windows.

I'm still not entirely sure if we want them in or out, re: VvD?

Will be great to see him back.

Atleti English ‏@atletienglish Agreement with @acffiorentina for the transfer of @MarioSuarez4: http://ow.ly/PWCUn ^ Officially write him off the list.

Saw this posted on another thread last night, but may as well go here too: Eastleigh FC@eastleighfc Ex @SouthamptonFC left back Dan Harding starts for the #spitfires tonight.
