Unbelievable Jeff

Shane Long I presume...

Surely it's not going to be Felipe Anderson or Iker Munian. They're out of our league surely?

Completely agree. He's a far better player than what we've seen so far in my opinion.

Have we actually been linked with Ziyech anywhere?

Be happy with that.

Saw him for Reading as well, and was excellent. TBF, did you see Kelvin Davis for Sunderland?

Looks like a driving midfielder (more of a Yaya Toure like player than a DM). May be the number 10 we're looking to sign. Always happy to bring in talented youngsters.

I would say the vast majority of the recent European incidents are driven by Mental Illness.

Looks alright...

We only need a back up striker, so why so underwhelmed?

Apart from Cedric, Bertrand, Long, VVD, Hojberg, Redmond and the 'New' player. And that's if you believe JRod's lost all of his.

Yes, but that only matters if we play that formation, which I would guess we're not and we'll be going 2 up top. Plus Long is also excellent at holding the ball up.

It was Seth Johnson. And he was from Derby.

Would take Sakho...

Maybe they've got other things on their minds today.

I know Pap, and I can't see that he'd do that myself. Just my personal opinion. JS may be on a wind up though, I can't argue that he definitely isn't.

A lot of it is waffle that could have been said without any itk knowledge. However, that doesn't mean that the information he's passed on has been false. Let's see if we sign a number 10 in the next week or so...

Jack Schitt on the other side reckons we've had a bid accepted for a number 10...

Awesome news, cheers!

But as has been said, a lot of people now think he's a bull****ter, including a large percentage of the Sotonians board. Not sure why he'd risk more wrath.

I think a lot of people are torn. I don't think anyone is taking it as gospel - that's for sure, but even if it's not it's quite an interesting read in general.

He said that was all he was allowed to mention tbf. I think personally we need to wait until the end of the Summer to see if he's talking **** - it's strange if he is talking **** because he's so rarely on the forum that he's not getting the adulation someone like that would crave.

What is interesting about what he said is that we want a number 10 AND a replacement for Mane. The Echo said differently, so let's wait and see if we sign multiple similar players.

Carried on. Saints wouldn't pay for a hold bag...more penny pinching.

Why, so he can keep Austin and J Rod company in the injury room?
