Wrong thread Jack! (But interesting!)

According to reports in Sweden, Southampton are keeping tabs on AIK striker Kennedy Igboananike after a series of impressive performances this season.

Patrick Vieira?

Like Wanyama?

Agreed. Not really had too many positive hints in the last few weeks. I think Osvaldo is more more likely to join, since Roma seem hell-bent on getting rid.

Holy sh*t! Normally, I'd assume the word 'carefully' shouldn't be followed by announcing how much you have.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has confirmed his club are now firmly in the chase for Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain and Internacional forward Leandro Damiao after raking in around £55million from the sale of Edinson Cavani to PSG.

I'm not even sure the don can beat Napoli to Damiao when they've got 54m in their pocket.

Yeah, I reckon that's jumped up a bit since promotion.

At least Mayuka is in Spain. Tadanari Lee will hopefully find a permanent move elsewhere. He must be on a fair-old wage.

Strange he mentions us in the SKY article. Normally I'd assume we were being used as a name by the agent to stir up interest... Monaco interested as well? Thought they were only signing Galactico's these days?

Ooh - A winger link! transfermarkt.co.uk rate him at 4m

Lukaku already?! I reckon it's Banega

I'd completely forgotten about him.

*Edit wrong thread

Does this come from your usual source, Monk?

Assume that was before he scored 3 against the champions?

3 quick musings on this... 1) Would be immense. 2) Won't happen. 3) Does this mean Damiao / Osvaldo deals are dead?

I'm hoping Morgan will stay put. He was fantastic for us last year. I see Banega as the Steven Davis upgrade & playing in the No.10 role, with Gaston moving out to fill a wide-forward role. (But still see Gaston coming in narrow at times). Would be great to get Banega, who sounds a bargain at the prices quoted. Gives MP lots of tools in the toolbox to work with.

Saw this earlier. Gotta love how they are covering ALL the bases in their striker hunt. Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri Higuain price requested by Real Madrid is 40m €, not 30m €, according to Sky Italy. Napoli have contacted the player, but no development

He needs to hit the ground running in pre-season.

Would be a great move for Billy IMO. Not least because I've always thought he'd score the same amount of goals in the SPL that Hooper has, so I'd be very interested to see if I was right or not.

I think you're right. I can remember the "support 3" all interchanging positions vs Reading away. No-one had fixed positions when we attacked. I love the fact that we can play so many different ways (if we sign the players we are linked with). Its going to give the opposition something to really think about.

Surely Napoli will stump up the cash? Must be absolutely minted after the Cavani deal. Would be absolutely astounding if we can pull this transfer off.
