SuperSAINT

So if we believe today's stories, Imbula is 1st choice with (maybe) Clasie as back-up.

SUNDERLAND IN FOR LENS? Sunderland have made an £8million offer for Dynamo Kiev forward Jeremain Lens, according to the Daily Mail. Dutch interntaional Lens, 27, has already worked with compatriot and Black Cats boss **** Advocaat at PSV.

Interesting if we got both. - Clasie in for Morgan. - Gueye replacement target for Vilhena?

& he's young & English - he will be worth double in 6 months.

Bournemouth sign Mings confirmed. Very good signing for them.

He would indeed. We just need a credible link!

Not when we have Yoshida who can play there (who reminds me of Cafu)

Maybe that Utd story is true... Or maybe it's just a guess. As far as we know, nobody has even tabled an offer yet. But Morgan's recent comments certainly suggest there are talks going on.

Would be awesome if true. Can you find the Guardian story though?! Squad-wise, I'd trade Wijnaldum for Ramirez & Djuricic any day of the week.

From SSN Transfer Centre. (Interesting bit at the end). Liverpool are close to reaching a £12.5million agreement to sign Southampton's Nathaniel Clyne, according to Sky sources. Sky Sports reported earlier this month that the Reds had seen a £10m flatly rejected by Saints, who want at least £15m for the highly-sought-after right-back. It is believed the Merseyside club are in discussions over a structured deal that would take the fee up towards the £15m-mark based on certain conditions that would eventually be met by the player.

Yeah, I heard about that. He will have to be VERY good though.

Bargain too.

The best thing about them signing Clyne is that it stops Brendan from literally trying every other player at right-wing back.

Cheers for posting that. We've been linked with a ton of defensive midfielders. I wonder which ones we have legit interest in? - The Polish lad is quality but they want big ££'s for him. - I seem to recall the Echo confirm that Idriss Gueye was somebody we were monitoring. - Plus we know King Ronald confirmed Clasie is 'on the list'. - Song / Cabaye don't seem like our kind of signings with their massive wages.

NOOOOOO!!! @Matt_Law_DT: Tottenham close in on Toby Alderweireld transfer #thfc http://t.co/vGCwhDWv86

Ben Smith at the Beeb also tweeted: @BenSmithBBC: #LFC expect Nathaniel Clyne to sign a 5-year-deal when he returns from hols. 12.5m the fee. A striker still a target. So not sure who was denying it earlier.

I imagine the Echo might chime in with some info if that's true.

There's no argument about that

What K.Billy posts is usually spot on (at that present time). These thing's change very quickly, and TBF he did say he'd go if we got a silly offer. There's an argument to be made about whether £12.5m is a silly offer of not, but that's not exactly K.Billy's fault.

He showed flashes but I didn't rate him massively over the full duration of his loan. I always had a hunch we'd sign him though. In some ways he's the definition of "Europa squad filler" you probably need - And King Ronald obviously rates him.

He clearly is. £12.5m is a disappointment though.
