Piece in the Sunday People tomorrow about a potential signing written by Nixon. He says he's not an exciting player and it's unlikely we'll get him but there is an interest.

Now Harding has left, 3 becomes available so Fox should move to it in theory and new LB will most probably be 13 unless that person doesn't want it?

It first got rumoured in French press yesterday morning but he's apparently a big, strong, fast, agile CB so could be ideal for us. Only 22 as well. However, Spurs are rumoured to be looking at him and he prefers a move to Serie A after being linked with AC Milan so very unlikely I think but who knows?

Nice little bit now on OS. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2863631,00.html

If people still want to go with Avensis and Princess, they are still laying on coaches for Saints Away Travel this season, they just need to be booked separately over the phone. http://www.Saints-Away.com

Interesting little observation. Saints scouts are attending the Peterborough v Norwich friendly today. Wonder who they're looking at?

Now Harding has been confirmed as gone I am inclined to believe this. As you said, it'd be too risky to have a 17 yr old as backup and Dickson has already been told he is out of the equation.

Done Deal! http://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10308~2862933,00.html Good luck Dan! Thanks for everything!!

Interesting. Where have you heard this?

Considering both him and his agent said the other day that their options were very much open again and were looking elsewhere I would be extremely surprised if this one now went through.

Go on.... How do you know?

IF he goes it seems to signal that a new LB is definitely on the cards. Olsson? Maybe Dickson might get a bit more of a look in? Long shot but who knows? Would be a decent extra option for the squad IMO.

Some interesting comments on here http://www.forestforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=32952

Their chairman seems pretty happy according to this article. http://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/article/clyne-deal-is-done-272461.aspx

Compensation fee agreed! http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2862717,00.html

And from an English based Stade Rennais fan on Twitter who writes for the site linked above. A bit like Lens, seems slightly ambitious?

It's just a rumour but he's also a CB. Seems to me we're really trying to nail this position down ASAP considering the number of CB's we've been linked with of late. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stade-rennais-online.com%2F617-Le-fil-infos-transferts-Gyan.html

So, it seems we have an interest in him then. Would be a very good signing IMO.

Agree. Still rate him over Harding.

His agent has confirmed he has handed in a transfer request. http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/agent-confirms-stoke-southampton-target-olsson-demanding-blackburn-transfer-3407491?utm_source=main_feed http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11688/7935391/Olsson-requests-transfer

SkyGraemeBailey: Sky Sports understands Robert Snodgrass is on his way to Carrow Road for talks with Norwich. More on site soon...

@RikElfrink: Morgen in het #ED een analyse over #Matavz en #Lens. Als #Lens wordt verkocht, mag #Brands het geld investeren in een nieuwe aanvaller. (@ RikElfrink: Tomorrow in the ED analysis on # # # Matavz and Lens. If # Lens is sold, the money may # Brands invest in a new attacker.) Maybe PSV are planning to sell to reinvest in a new attacker? Check out ed.nl tomorrow it seems.

There has been recent murmurings that Ajax could be about to make an attempt to loan him. Cant be that bad then surely? http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11676/7908322/Ajax-eye-Rovers-star http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2175068/Ajax-want-Scott-Dann-loan.html

Right, THEVMAN, where are you? What do you know about the Dann deal then?
