If we're lucky enough to keep the level of finance going that we've had recently, there's no doubt that a left sided centre-half will be targeted next summer.

I agree that we overpaid him. But I think he was purchased for exactly what he did - To give us the extra fire-power to ensure promotion.

With Punch & Mayuka leaving we must be bringing someone in.

Is the Japanese guy the one with some nifty free kicks?

Reports in France claim that Sochaux are ready to move for Southampton striker Emmanuel Mayuka, with Ryad Boudebouz set to join Bastia

Surprised Aaron Martin hasn't found a club yet.

Matches up with what Monk said earlier...

I think any Barnard move will be a loan with us paying a large % of his wages.

"We are hearing several Premier League clubs are weighing up a move for Reading winger Garath McCleary before the transfer window slams shut." Reading are certainly going to have enough money to make a move for Sharp if they keep selling.

Great if that comes true.

We are hearing that Tottenham might not be finished in the transfer market just yet as they line up a move for Real Madrid's Fabio Coentrao.

Itchen_dan suspiciously quiet. Never a good sign before deadline day.

Agreed. With that said, he's a better panic buy than Santos & Park from last year anyway

Sky sources understand Arsenal are in advanced talks to sign Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid. We will bring you more on this development as we get it.

The best Forecast I ever saw @ St Mary's was on my weather app.

He was a fantastic player. His crosses were quality, and back in the early days he didn't have his searing pace that he has now - Back then he used to just drift past players. For a 17 year old, he used to just own the left side of the pitch for us. Was it Burley that called him a "Rolls Royce" of a player? Always thought that was a great description.

Bet they are still trying like mad to get Lukaku back

Certainly don't want to see him go. Was great for us last year.

Cheers Deano. Nothing but good memories of him. Sure he'll do well under Pearson up there.

True. (And they haven't signed Eriksen) - It was just a loose comparison.

Agree. If they don't finish 4th this year, they never will. Don't forget they are still in talks with Eriksen too. Crazy to think they managed to sign that lot without Champions league football. They are a prime example of how spend that amount of money sensibly. Compare with Liverpool's dealings under Kenny:- Carroll (35m) Henderson (16m) Adam (8m) Downing (20m) Coates (8m) Total 87m Soldado (26m) Paulinho (17m) Eriksen (9m) Chadli (7m) Lamela (25m) Total 84m

Who knows if FF's snippet is true, but I bet Spurs wish they had Willian in doing a secret medical 2 weeks ago before Chelsea nabbed him

Think he'd be a great signing for us. In terms of the squad, swapping him for Punch is a no brainer. I actually thought there was a fair chance he'd get shipped out on loan anyway - And that was before they signed Willian & were (supposedly) in talks with Atsu. What surprised me about him at Chelsea is that in the games I've seen him play for them, he's actually looked impressive for them. I didn't think he'd be able to step up.

Reporter David Craig has told Sky Sports News Radio that sources close to Tom Ince have told him that Aston Villa and Everton have entered into discussions with Blackpool for his signature.
