Bewildered

Bit of a blunder if we want Byram and have not offered Cash plus Sharp is Leeds want him.

Don't really think signing Shane Long would take any pressure off Pelle to deliver from the start since Long can not be relied upon to bring the goals if Pelle struggles.

Actual RK quote from the OS about more signings FWIW So is that 1 or 2 total? 1 or 2 for each position he feels we are short? Not really a clear statement at all...

a) He's ****e b) Why would Leicester sell him one week before the PL season starts? He's first choice c) Simon Jones, The Mail's answer to Alex Crook

So we want a CB, RB, AM/Winger and a CF. Pretty much what people have been saying they want to see us sign.

How were Tadic and Taider?

Joe Batchelor ‏@Joe_Batchelor 25s Koeman also confirms Leeds rejected a bid for Sam Bryam. #saintsfc

Pelle scores (for Leverkusen)

Only update so far, sounds like an exciting game so far...

No Gallagher on the bench again, is he injured?

Journalist who works for Alex Crook's news agency

Can you imagine if he goes there and he turns out to be as bad as Buttner

Good news!

So, is this one going ahead or is it on hold until thge Rojo deal is sorted or given up on?

https://twitter.com/RonaldKoeman He changed his twitter name

A player from Swindon's academy tweeted that he has joined Southampton today, perhaps this is the player having a medical today as mentioned by K Billy?

Danny Ings missing Burnley's game the other night for a "knee injury" Sean Dyche managed to keep secret until after the match seems like too much of a coincidence now.

To be honest it depends who the priority CB target is. It seems Les was in Portugal yesterday trying to negotiate for Rojo (CB primarily for his club) and Guan and some media outlets suggest the club are very keen on Vlaar. Perhaps VVD is not as high on the club's list of preferred targets as press reports had suggested.

Or at least we are not done making troll offers for him.

@BurnleyOfficial: We turned around for a moment and when we turned back he was just...gone

Indeed, a lot of what Lambert says is somewhat reminiscent of the vaguely positive, yet non committal guff Reed, Krueger and Pochettino himself used to spout prior to MP's departure.

To be honest, I can't see how a player like Hernandez fits into a 4-3-3, usually the CF in that formation is stronger and can hold up the play, not really Hernandez' game at all.
