Boro have signed Jelle Vossen. Wasn't he one of our 'most wanteds' a few years back?

He's not an out and out striker, he's more of an attacking midfielder who can play between the lines. left/right/number 10 role is what he's about.

Financially Monaco went a bit too crazy, they need to reign it in. Hence the sale of Rodriguez too.

Forgot they still had SWP. What an absolute mess of a career he had in the end.

Who knows, maybe Mayuka and Isgrove are off.

Don't think he's particularly quick, but I remember years back he was in the same bracket as Joaquin as options for the Spanish team. Good experienced option on loan. Got a funny feeling we will get another attacking player too.

Toby Alder-vier-weld. I think

For £3.5m. He wasn't even a first team player at Hull.

Not too convinced on the Spurs interest myself, we'll have to wait and see.

"United buying Falcao and Di Maria is the equivalent of someone who needs heart surgery being given fake tits. Looks nice, but not what's needed".

and Mane.

Can I make a polite request? Please can none of our fans turn up at Staplewood to stand outside the gates, waving their phones and arms in front of the camera because ''THEY'RE ON TV!1111''. It looks dumb. cheers.

4 loans in total, only 1 loan from a single PL club.

Benjamin Stambouli

That's a fair point. If we're chucking £12m at Townsend, then we could probably get him for the same sort of figure though.

Koeman also confirmed that he has not considered a move to sign Ajax goalkeeper Kenneth Vermeer, who is expected to join Feyenoord. He added: "We didn’t think about Kenneth Vermeer. We have bought Fraser Forster, who is 26 years old and a fantastic goalkeeper, who is part of the England squad." The Dutchman also acknowledged that deals for Aston Villa defender Ron Vlaar and Dynamo Kiev forward Jeremain Lens ‘didn’t succeed’, and that he opted against an approach for Queens Park Rangers new boy Leroy Fer due to the number of midfielders already at his disposal.

He's great. Always wanted us to go for him when he was at Basel. PL experience too, albeit not a great deal. Would be a top addition.

Didn't sky break the news last week about us making a 2nd bid ''according to sky sources'' ? and then quite oddly, later in the day, according to sky sources, we hadn't made a 2nd bid. For what it's worth, today will be awash with bull****. So I'm sure we'll still have an hour or so to endure whereby we start seeing increasing reports that Morgan or Jay are off, when in fact they aren't.

It's not though, really. Trying to ignore the fee, but can't on this one. £15m is a joke figure for him.

Diego Capel on a loan/for £5m or Townsend for 15m. Hmmm, let me think about that for a second. Ok, thought about it. Capel it is.

''Sky sources - Toby in talks with Southampton and having a medical' is Koeman a sky source these days?

Not keen to get wound up in the talk of Champions league football again, but I will say this. It stupidly raises expectations amongst the fan base, it's simply not an achievable target for us. I'm all for reach for the stars and all that, but this is Southampton we're talking about. We're not big enough or financially strong enough to initially make the push for it, and to secondly sustain it.

If he ends up as Spurs, you'd think one of their wide players will be off. Could be a domino effect transfer.

Strikes of a club with simply no strategy what so ever.

Can anyone shed any light on why the **** Man Utd have signed Falcao? Radamel Falcao has signed for Manchester United on a season-long loan. The Old Trafford club will pay a £12million loan fee and the Colombian is going to be on £200,000-per-week. Big statement of intent from Louis van Gaal. Falcao will land in Manchester at 4:50pm - what a story.
