Any other incomers likely soon ? And if known, which positions ? Apart from the Pelle bid which has been reported.

Agree about Robertson from what I've read. Dundee Utd have sold Ryan Gauld , the 'mini Messi' to Sporting Lisbon today for £3m. That seems to be the threshold for Robertson I'd suspect. Whether we are interested in Robertson, or Kolo, fact remains we need to move quickly for either to happen. Idle speculation on my part, but I suspect we'll sign neither and have another target in mind.

That could of course prove to be so.

Youtube clip includes a good display of balooning one over the bar at 2.35. That's what we need, Tadic to crate the chance, Immers to baloon it.

Good one. I also liked the suggestion by someone on an earlier thread saying he was "the Dutch Paul Telfer".

Isn't he with the Stellar Group ? (Jonathan Barnett etc - as was MP).

Can't see Ben Davies coming to us, as he'll probably consider it a sideways move. Cresswell was linked with WBA today in one report.

Good suggestion.

Fonte ?

I put his 'speech' and emotions down to having the personality of a wet lettuce , but there you go.

He can shove his fake gratitude and platitudes up his arse. Any 'letter' to fans from AL will be as hollow as all his badge kissing.

Still down.

Are there any of their offcasts we need or want ?

De Vrij and Martins-Indi play for the same club as Pelle , so not sure how he could have "bullied them".

Ridiculous fee - £6m (-£8m top) I'd have thought. I expect we could prise Forster from Celtic for less than Marshall. I read Terence Kongolo was a left sided CB, who can also play LB.

Its good to see an effort to communicate with the supporters, especially after the last character who barely gave a toss from day one. Of course the RK Twitter account will probably be withdrawn at some stage after the first controversy ( criticism of a ref or team performance etc).

Has a reasonably successful cv , so be pleased with this if it comes off.

.. better to have one who speaks English as their first language though... Not serious are you ? Given his nickname above he sounds straight out of the Dennis Rofe school of coaching.

Forster , possibly a double deal with Celtic to bring Van Dyke here as well.

Does WGS still live in Warsash ? If so, would be in an excellent position to monitor the player if he comes, could even invite him round on Burns night, or lodge with him even ! Paltry £1m bid rejected. Doubt WBA will be chucking money around, so its up to us if we want him - or Kolo - to make our interest known quickly.

Trouble with appointing that shortarsed scouse **** is that Ronald or Erwin will spend far too much time trying to translate what he says into English for the benefit of the squad.

Another of RK's proteges likely to be on the move, Bruno Martins Indi, to Porto 8.5m euros. http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/wk-voetbal-2014/22794745/__Martins_Indi_naar_FC_Porto__.html

As asked on an earlier thread, does he offer any pace as well, or just Lallana-like nifty footwork ?

This has previously been reported in the UK press as a likely move after the WC. I expect RK will make an enquiry, but if mancs are interested then we're buggered. Hope he has a bust up with Van Gaal in the next couple of weeks !! Or perhaps we'll pursue Van Dyke instead.

That is something we'll never really know. Personally, I suspect the owners 'request' to take an interest in events, and seeking some greater accountability was also a sticking point.
