Certainly seems like there's something to the Gueye link. The Clasie trail on the other hand seems to have gone quiet.

Few scout reports on him.... http://news.bwin.com/en/football-betting/premier-league/scout-report-marseilles-chelsea-target-gilbert-gianelli-imbula,46859.html http://www.squawka.com/news/chelsea-linked-with-new-makelele-do-the-stats-stand-up/24867 http://outsideoftheboot.com/2014/10/19/scout-report-gianelli-imbula-marseille-and-frances-young-midfielder/

I remember that well mate. That one happened fast. Pretty sure no-one saw Bertrand coming - I remember that coming out of nowhere.

Get French Football ‏@GFN_France Marseille have entered the race to sign Lille midfielder Idrissa Gueye, who has an offer from Southampton, according to France Football. Get French Football ‏@GFN_France Marseille could only finance deal in the event of Giannelli Imbula sale. Southampton waiting for Schneiderlin exit to commit to €10m deal. Get French Football ‏@GFN_France Arsenal also interested in Idrissa Gueye, but only as a fallback option, according to France Football.

Is this the 1st signing we've made without either Guan 2.0 or K.Billy pre-empting it?!

STOKE SIGN JOSELU Stoke have confirmed the signing of striker Joselu from Hannover 96 for £5.75m.

Excellent! Nice work Saints.

Chips without mayonnaise....

Nice work. Enjoyed reading that. Guess that blows my "he's not a striker" theory out the water though

That is just about guaranteed.

Yup, matches with a report I read about him earlier: Predominantly playing as a secondary striker, he can also operate as an attacking midfielder or a left winger. At just 5 ft 6 1/2 in and 63 kg, Juanmi has a slight frame but possesses excellent ball control, has great dribbling ability and lightning acceleration. As you would expect from a Spanish youngster, he is technically strong, has good vision and is a good passer of the ball. This season Juanmi has also added a great work rate to his game and is relentless in his pressing, this has led to defensive mistakes and has created numerous goal scoring opportunities, as seen with his goals against Barcelona and Levante.

I'd say they'd still be room for another striker, Bats. I suppose a lot depends on how Ronald views J-Rod.

Found this description of him: Predominantly playing as a secondary striker, he can also operate as an attacking midfielder or a left winger. At just 5 ft 6 1/2 in and 63 kg, Juanmi has a slight frame but possesses excellent ball control, has great dribbling ability and lightning acceleration.

Keeping big Vic would be a huge plus for us this summer.

SOURCES: LIVERPOOL IN GOMEZ TALKS Liverpool in talks to sign Joe Gomez from Charlton, according to Sky sources. We understand Brendan Rodgers' side are yet to make an official approach, but there is strong interest in 18-year-old centre back. Arsenal, Aston Villa and Man City Spurs have also been watching Gomez, who Charlton value up to £7 million.
