Bit odd. Cedric is and should be the first name at right back whilst he is here.

It is quite funny to see their fans suffering in the same way with all these rumours. It must make them worry a little. Usually when Barca or Real want something bad, they get it - even more so when they have a £200m windfall to play with. Karma and all that.

To troll all the impatient supporters.

Same. What the hell is going on. I feel dirty.

http://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/juventus-visite-mediche-in-corso-con-il-southampton-per-lemina-i-dettagli Medical examinations in progress with Southampton for Mario Lemina after leaving for Italy in the summer of 2015, leaves Juventus. The father will also come from Gabon during the day and tomorrow is scheduled to be defective. Confirmed the figures: the Bianconeri will go 18 million plus 2 of the bonus.

He was in and around at the Austria camp, he was on the bench and I'm sure played 45 in the friendly over there. Since then though he's just vanished, no training shots, no bench appearances. Obviously picked up another injury, club are seemingly trying to keep it quiet for some reason.

*cough* getting the replacements in for Coutinho early...

I thought there was something a bit odd with that Darren fella's first post, bit odd. We had a similar influx of Everton fans last summer too. Weird city.

That would be a signing just for the sake of making a signing.

I thought Lemina was gash?

Therefore he's 'Pretty Gash', yes?

Where is all this talk of Hoedt coming from? Can only see him coming if we shift VVD, which we won't. And even then, there aren't any strong links to Hoedt what so ever.

Monaco want Imbula, who would then become available should Stoke get this kid.

Good info, cheers. Interesting you mentioned Stararo, as he was heavily linked to us last year for a similar sort of fee - same with the Assamoah guy you have. Seems like you have a few midfielders who interest us!

Have seen it dotted around in a few places. WHU fans seem to think that Ogbonna and Reid are the first choice this year. Club are apparently trying to find a CB, hence the rumours of Fonte's demise.

West Ham looking to dump both Fonte and Snodgrass, but finding it hard to find 'takers' due to their high wages. ''Apparently''.

BREAKING NEWS Southampton have agreed a deal to sign Mario Lemina from Juventus, according to Sky sources. He’s expected to undertake a medical on Monday and will cost the club £16million, plus add-ons which could rise to £20m. Juve manager Allegri confirmed today in his post-match press conference player will leave. We understand Southampton beat off interest from Stoke to sign the player.

He actually did. As well as some other NPC players. I think he's like 12 or something, very immature.

Sounds promising though.

Don't know much about him, but reading up on him and watching a few youtube clips (as is standard..) he looks bang on what we need alongside Romeu. And probably the sort of player we've needed for at least the last couple of seasons.

Pre-season games are always a bit of a non-event! This was decent for a pre-season game to be fair, but the 2nd half was drab to say the least. Big positives to come out are Jack Stephens continuing rise and Gabbi's sharpness - that finish was first time, bang. Sniffing in the right places as well. Tons of goals in this lad. Good game from Davis as well I thought, played more advanced (where he needs to play) and we saw the benefit. So, that's pre-season done then. Another long season incoming...

Don't think he can be classed as an attacking midfielder, he's more of a powerful DM, box to box type.

He's not good enough for us Apparently.
