I'm 21 and I've heard of Koeman. In much the same way that I've heard of Beckenbauer, Baresi, Moore, Passarella, Brehme, Tresor etc. who I wasn't alive to see play. It's like saying who has ever heard of Laurent Blanc ffs, clear WUM-ing

He's tiny though. Far too lightweight for the Prem even if he is quick - he'd be knocked off the ball in seconds. Still, £8m is a tempting price for one of the best performers in the French WC team...

International Relations and Economics from Loughborough, so not overly wishy-washy from a Top 15 Uni

Great news to cap an amazing week for me. Got a 2:1 in my degree and it's my birthday on Sunday and now the stripes are back, couldn't write a better 4 day period if I tried!

Can't we have a whip round and see if there are any more yokes out there?

@tancredipalmeri: Southampton will negotiate transfer out of Osvaldo to Inter, according to Mediaset, as Inter have already agreed personal terms with player

For those who know their Pokemon it might be quite nice to dress like Electabuzz....

Aaron Creswell and Andrew Robertson (Ipswich and Dundee)

@SkySportsAmy: Southampton have made a bid for Feyenoord's Graziano Pelle, we understand. @SkySportsNews Maybe this time it's a fresh, less 'derisory' bid...

Sounds like a great signing! Perhaps there's going to be a triple reveal of Tadic, Pelle and the new kit? Would certainly be something to dry the bedsheets of some on here...

Kaka has just become a free agent, could do a job if his wages weren't too high and he'd certainly shift some shirts and raise our profile...

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/tottenham-launch-transfer-raid-swansea-3777939 If Ben Davies is available for £8m then we should definitely be getting him in as a Shaw replacement. Sign him up RoKo!

Maybe, but a Ferdinand/Caulker CB partnership would get raped by any forward with half decent pace...

This might have been a more credible opinion if you'd spelt 'Cortese' right...

This. I wonder if Peroni do the squeeze bottles though?

True, reminds of the Twitter #AskJose Chelsea did where Mourinho got trolled by fans of other clubs. My favourite was "Do you ever get a babysitter or do you just loan your children to Vitesse when you and your wife aren't around?"

Excellent point, in that respect having Jack Cork at Saints may also serve to educate them about the dangers of going to a "big club" too soon (although he was always at Chelsea). he was the next big thing at Chelsea for years but never playing for them and instead being loaned out for 6 years before he was then sold to a Championship side for £1m and had to get back to the Prem with them. A cautionary tale of sorts for the young prospects...

In fairness if Johnson and Gerrard play for England that's hardly a particularly high barrier to entry really...

In a probably futile attempt to return to vaguely the topic area; Serge Aurier has signed for Arsenal. Hopefully this ends any Chambers to Arsenal speculation!

I'd prefer Enner over Antonio anyway, he'd be a lot cheaper too...

He wants the goalkeeper to be playing far from his goal AND be able to pass? Bye bye Artur haha

Marko Marin? Could be a good replacement if Adam goes: http://www.eyefootball.com/news/19255/Marko-Marin-Southampton.html

He scored one goal playing as a striker for Manchester United when they won the league, I'd venture that given 38 games playing up front for a title winning team I could've scored one goal

Unless Chambers shifts to CB (which apparently has been mooted in the past) or we buy Van Dijk and/or De Vrij...
