Go for Remy, then it really will be the touch of a rapist

47m means 47 minutes. That was how long ago Tancredi Palmeri tweeted it. Don't know whether you knew that or not.

If Napoli get Jackson Martinez as well as Higuain in this window then they would have had a remarkable summer. £22M is steep for a player unproven in Europe like Damiao. I'm not doubting his international pedigree but it's a different quality of opposition in the European divisions than in Brazil.

As Banega isn't a striker, it would be fair to draw that conclusion. However, this is Crook who's talking here. Enough said, none the wiser really.

He always gave his all but still wasn't a starter for them despite having such a lazy team full of egos. I think he is an excellent player to have and Harry should have done more to keep him. Great move by Forest.

Surely they could have got a transfer update from him?

I thought he had a poor season last year. Doesn't play like a captain should and it may be affecting his performance. I have no doubt he has great ability but he may just need time to adjust to the higher level and added expectation an scrutiny.

Telfer was top quality. There's still a mark on the big screen at St Mary's from one of his shots or probably passes...... Worker ever so hard though.

I know West Ham would be straight in there if Rickie was available for transfer. Can't see us letting him go though, such a quality player and consistently contributes at every level.

I would pay £6M tops. £12M is bonkers.

The chairman said they bid £10M which was accepted but refused to go any higher when Celtic demanded more money. And for the record it's CARDIFF not Norwich.

Not really the 'type' of striker we need. At only 5ft 7, he couldn't play the Lambert role.

Haha, some people and their expectations. I think he would be fantastic for us.

Valencia Newspaper from tomorrow saying Pochettino is close to persuading Banega to join. LINK: http://ipressreview.kantarmedia2.es/ficheroExterno/home3/news/data/201307/20130714/100540/75031170.pdf Rough Translation:

Haha that's the one. A fine taste in comedy you have Turkish. Is it a black man's cock?

This is sounding remarkably similar to a scene off the office....

I would very much like to hear your news Pilchards, please. Thanks.

Norwich sign Leroy Fer from Twente. Another excellent signing from them.

Another deal called by Alex Crook: (oh...) Alex Goring Crook ‏@alex_crook 7h Not expecting any announcement on Luke Shaw signing his new #saintsfc deal today. Probably wont be made public until after pre-season tour

Hear, hear. Two spells with us and has always given his all on the pitch and really was a vital member of our team in both League One and the first half of the Championship season before his injury. His goal against United in the cup will always remembered by me. Good luck to him, wherever he goes next.

Subs: K.Davis, Fonte, S.Davis, Puncheon, Ward-Prowse, Mayuka, Lallana

Vegard Fl. Vaagbo ‏@VegardFV 2m Massive rumours in Molde suggest the club's buying Vegard Forren back on a permanent deal. Not confirmed yet, club has called a pconf in 1hr From a norweigan journo on twitter. Was on top of his transfer to saints in January.

Norwich, as has already said by many, have surprised me hugely in this window so far. They seem to have changed their transfer policy from buying top quality championship players to buying young, talented players in the foreign leagues with growing reputations, with the exception of Redmond and Olsson. Fer will be an excellent addition I think and Van Wolfswinkel seems good business at €8M. Alderweireld looks a quality defender with good versatility as he can also play full back. Impressive if they pull these deals off and look to me like they are stepping up to try and have a crack at that top 10, like us, next season.

'ITK' guys, any idea on what time his medical is? And is it in Southampton or London, which has been reported? Thanks.

Has anyone heard anything from Lennon about Wanyama's non-involvement tonight?
