Off to Sporting Lisbon for talks apparently. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9367387/sporting-lisbon-make-offer-for-dundee-united-teenager-ryan-gauld

Never hurts to have premier league experience on your coaching staff.... Played a role in developing some fine players at Liverpool too - I'm happy to have him on board. Equally happy to have Watson here too.

I'd be very surprised if he turns up tomorrow.

Well, Tadic would have a couple of obvious targets to hit for set pieces with Fellaini and Pelle in the team...

Imagine their forums would be in meltdown if this is true.

I wonder if Tadic was a player we had previously identified, or if he's Koeman's choice?

They actually did it - That's some serious coin for him. Sky Sports sources understand that Robert Snodgrass has joined Hull City from Norwich, for a fee reportedly in the region of £7million. We'll have more on this breaking news shortly.

I was taking another look at the Eredivisie team of season. http://www.goal.com/en/news/1717/editorial/2014/05/09/4802260/eredivisie-team-of-the-season-blind-clasie-depay-feature Some quality players there. Anyone know much about the young playmaker Hakim Ziyech?

If Palace get him then there's no way we were in for him when you consider Vincent Tan's love of Palace

John Percy @John__Percy #cpfc to launch £8m bid to sign Steven Caulker from Cardiff and hope to keep Yannick Bolasie http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/crystal-palace/10935668/Crystal-Palace-to-launch-8m-bid-to-sign-Steven-Caulker-from-Cardiff-City-and-hope-to-keep-Yannick-Bolasie.html

Signed a new contract with them in Feb. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26060080 Regardless, I don't know that he has one - It was mentioned in the press.

Stoke were linked with Yarmolenko the other day. Ambitious move.

Proof that men can't multi-task Note to self - Don't video conference, and quickly post on the saints forum.

The lesson they should learn is that they should stay dull and boring so nobody wants any of their players.

I always thought he had a relegation clause, so the fee would be pretty much set in stone. Same with Caulker.

Optimistic team, Ed

How would a J-Rod transfer actually work? He surely wouldn't be able to pass a medical for a few months yet could he?

Sure it's a re-hash, but Kongolo gets a mention here. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2674310/Ronald-Koeman-wants-Feyenoords-Graziano-Pelle-Terence-Kongolo-join-Southampton.html

It's all gone downhill since we replaced the portacabins with that £30m training complex.

Alex Crook with another piece of forum browsing.... Alex Goring Crook @alex_crook Nothing official from #saintsfc but looks like #ncfc and #eng gk coach Dave Watson is Ronald Koeman's top target for the role

Would you go for Forster over Marshall, Dan?

Good coach IMO. Would be happy to have him as 1st team coach or U18's.

Yeah, happy with this. Recruitment process is in full swing.

I've seen worse shortlists than that mate! Can I add Marshall (GK) & van Dijk to that list so we can play 3-5-2 if we wish?
