I can understand Fonte wanting a move as he is hardly rich on the wages we've paid him in the last 6 years. A transfer fee of 20m will give him a nice lump sum.

More exciting this way. Nothing better than supporting one of your own playing for England.

Saints contact team X and put in bid for player A and its excepted. Team X needs replacement for player A. They agree a deal with team Y who also need to replace a player. And so on, just like house buying in a chain. Look at Arsenal? Being linked with many players but they are over priced. Once they finally get someone they will sell us OXY (example)

I love the fact we are buying young players to groom them into good first teamers. Watching a kid giving 100% is more satisfying than watching the likes of Mane, Tadic and Wanyama on an off day.

According to the paper this morning we have agreed a fee for a Belgian attacking midfielder and his agent is already in the country sorting out the deal. The player is flying in today. Could quite possibly be Dennis Praet?

The transfer market has gone stupid with some pathetic overpriced players. I expect the situation with us is either: (1) We've agreed loan or permanent deals but they need to replace them first. (2) We are now looking at our option number 5,6,7 as we won't pay over the odds. (3) We agreed a deal with one player but his agent is a greedy bastard. (4) A player was due to sign but got abducted by aliens

You have to remember that we are going to be playing a game every three days according to Puel so you need a good squad. IMHO thinking that Reed, Sims, Taggart, McQueen and co are going to fill out the squad could spell trouble.

Or 50% true.

What a pile of **** from Crook. Do you honestly think our manager would come in without wanting a couple of players of his own choice just like Koeman did?

Going 26th of July that Wolsberg striker called Das Boot.

Why need him as he cant get in the England team plus we replaced with a Euro 2016 winner. It's funny how things change quickly and yet he was actually very good for us.

If we can't keep a manager then what chance have we in keeping players?

Because Koeman could not see it himself as he had his own head up his arse. I will continue to believe Pottychino would of brought these kids through into the first team as he was brilliant at doing so. Puel it seems has been hired for that very role which I love personally. Regarding the Daily Fail article, Redmond is not Mane's replacement.

We finally employed Dr Gale?

I reckon it's just a greedy agent not being happy with the first offer from Saints. If we so want him then I expect us to come back with a better offer.

Talking of coaches, who is the female we are starting to see in videos. Long blondish hair and always wears a coaching tracksuit.

Expect Das Boot to come in.

I honestly believe that Fonte would be more pleased getting added onto our legends banner than winning this Euro cup thingy. Lets make his dream come true.

What was the other stupid one? Someone said Fuller is better than Ronaldo or something.

Tough one this, was it the Portugal keeper?

What are the chances someone coming forward with a 20 million bid? I know he won't look to leave but would Reed force it?

Move that guy out with the large moustache and add Fonte to the right of Rickoe.

He is so right footed, Koeman would play him left side for sure.

There must be a player from Villa that Black would recommend surely?

Not bad, cast your line and bring three in
