Also just noticed on that article, that Everton will likely offer less to Burnley than we have. errr...ok, so in what situation would Burnley accept less...? Seems a bizarre move and every-time I read it it sounds more and more like an agent/selling club plant to speed things along.

If Everton are serious, offer the cash and are given permission to speak, then it's over. I'm not quite sure they can afford another £7m though. They had to do alot of wheeling and dealing in January to just get the funds for Jelavic. He'd probably even accept less wages to join them....and if anything, this is your typical agent/selling club plant in order to rush the deal through as it's been dragging for a while. Next week will be interesting.

Back at Brum, but they need to sell. He was on loan at WBA last year, and you'd imagine they're the favorites to keep him....but until he's signed....

Same could be said of Douif at the world cup in 2002. If clubs have their wits about them, they'd identify who is worth it before hand. Buying players on the back of a 4 week tournament is desperate.

I hope you're just joking....

Naldo was always rated really highly, but he has gone off the radar lately - assume it's because of that injury.

but is he going to sign FFS?

I assume this is tongue in cheek , but yeah, we'd probably be taken apart in most games.

Now he's saying ''It's not a final outcome and will continue to rumble on'' The cry's of someone who doesn't have a clue IMO.

That's what i see....if it's a major development, then it's either bad news or good news - it can't be a major development if he's stuck in between good news/bad news. He's been waffling tosh for days now. we had a deadline on Thursday...last week....etc etc. I think he's lost, and he's trying to dig up stuff and clutching to straws.

I'd put all the effort into it personally. I think he's class and will only get better. my number 1 target.

Knew this would drag for weeks.

What on earth are you on about now. You never make any sense with your ramblings.

Not sure who to believe, according to Nixon he stayed over night to continue talks today. Sunday seems a very odd day to talk...

Sounds like a decent pre-season. Interesting that we're not off to Switzerland this year, so slightly different. 4 good home games to look forward to as well, against decent oppo. edit - just seen Udinese play at our place too, so 5 home games.

That's the way with wingers though I guess, sometimes you have to accept their frustrations in order to see their true quality. Even Robben had one of those games in the CL...

Looks outstanding.

I had heard that a new website was planned for this close-season, we've kind of already seen what it will look like - take a look at the tickets homepage, eventually the whole site will follow this design. That's the plan I've been told anyway.

To be fair, a few Chelsea fans were already reporting this on twitter before he did. Interesting.

Charsenal ‏@C_Arsenal Southampton are closing in on signing Chelsea's Kevin de Bruyne and Arsenal's Ryo Myaichi on season long loans.

Really don't know what to make of Fourth Official, he half spouts some absolute crap. Alot of it just seems to be based on newspapers, and rumour sites - but they type it up in a way that makes it look like 'they' know.

Alan Nixon ‏@reluctantnicko Not even writing this for paper. But just to keep Southampton fans happy. NO decision from Rodriguez yet. Still talking. I thought he said we'd set a deadline last week, and now tonight? Got a feeling he hasn't got a clue what's going on here if I'm honest.

He's tweeted a picture along with his comment, which is a load of colchester programmes. So have to assume they're involved somehow.
