SuperSAINT

Should imagine a loan move to Italy will come to fruition later this month.

Just watched the teaser for the "behind the scenes" from today's training. Forgot about Gaston!

I really hope he is!

Morgan at least turned up for pre-season training this morning

VIDAL DEAL UPDATE Reports linking Arturo Vidal to Arsenal are wide of the mark, according to Sky sources. The Juventus midfielder was “90% certain” to make a move to north London, according to reports in Spain.

Ha! That's the 1st thing I thought of! (the one with the pen on!)

Maybe Liverpool just came in late on & turned his head. Wouldn't surprise me.

Guess Clyney said: "No deal"

CHERRIES STEP UP GRADEL PURSUIT Bournemouth are apparently considering making a bid for former Leeds and Leicester winger Max Gradel. The 27-year-old left Leeds for St Etienne in 2011 and, according to the Daily Mirror, is keen on a move back to England. The Cherries reportedly had a £4million bid rejected earlier this month but will go with back with £5m even though St Etienne are holding out for £7m. Gradel spent time on loan with Bournemouth in 2007/08.

Yeah, they need one because although they have a few 'nippy forwards' who can fill in for Giroud when he's injured, none of them can lead the line like he can. (Arguably, a bit like us & Pelle)

Yeah, I hate Downing, but even I thought he was actually decent last year. Dangerous ground for them, for sure. My claim to shame last season was Hull- I actually thought they did good business last summer.

We'll find out if West Ham are interested when we read about it in one of Jack Sullivan's 'insider' articles on the West Ham website.

Found a year old "Sky Scout" report on him: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/15198/7724130/sky-sports-scout-angelo-ogbonn

Maybe losing out on Toby then?

That seems to be Tottenham's default value for central midfielder's during the summer window.

English media talking about it. Perhaps, more tellingly, I don't think there's been much in France about it.

Told him he's fat, but made him rich.

The mail with an interesting bit on Praet. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3141820/Southampton-keen-Manchester-City-Arsenal-target-Dennis-Praet-Anderlecht-midfielder-changes-agents.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490

Praet is an AMC, I believe.

Dennis Praet mentioned as a target in this article on Morgan. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/11703713/Man-Utd-told-to-speed-up-signing-of-Morgan-Schneiderlin-but-Van-Gaal-holding-out-for-Bastian-Schweinsteiger.html

Decent article on where the Morgan deal is (or could be) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/11703713/Man-Utd-told-to-speed-up-signing-of-Morgan-Schneiderlin-but-Van-Gaal-holding-out-for-Bastian-Schweinsteiger.html (Also includes a new name on our shortlist)
