Thanks

A whopping 47.5% pass accuracy from the keeper too. Given how good Martinez is with his feet I'm not sure he would fit in!

(P.S. how do I properly link a tweet so it shows here?)

Absolutely over the moon about this signing. I wanted him last season and was disappointed we didn't move for him then.

I hope Jack stays because it's going to be fun seeing them in the same team!

What is scarier than facing Jack Grealish?.... Facing two of him!

Stupid idea if true. Typical of Southgate era England to play players out of position despite insisting he never would. 

as for reverting to a back 3, nice to see we've practiced that in warm up games... Oh wait. 

we're going to waste this tournament opportunity by having a moron in charge. 

If he plays a back 3, sacrificing an attacking player (especially if it's Grealish) and doesn't win, he will get slaughtered by the press.

Just play Stones and Mings. We just have to accept that all our CB have a mistake in them and play on the front foot because of it.

Also Stones only seems to plays well when he has someone vocal next to him like with Dias, Mings provides that.

Would rather keep Wesley than sign King. Yes there is question marks over him especially after injury. But we are a better side now than when he joined, and he is relatively young and a Brazilian international. He still has the potential to far exceed King.

If he is 'beyond repair' then get rid and get another youngster in who we can give minutes to here and there. Would much rather sign a player with potential than mediocre players on big wages.

Would have been torture if the club hadn't released a statement saying the fee was agreed. Would still very much like to see him holding the shirt now though!

With Jack and Buendia maybe we'll play them more as wide attacking midfielders rather than wingers?  Potential that we may lose some width that way - but I see both of them as cutting in to try and create chances rather than trying to beat their man on the outside and trying to whip in a cross for the centre forward.

I can see Traore being the one down the middle. He has played as a central striker previously and could make the runs in behind.

Both Jack and Emi will start wide and drift in so makes sense to me to keep them apart and they can learn to stay out of each others way.

We bought Emi off the back of excellent seasons on the right wing, don't fix what isn't broke.

Not in the squad but Martinez starts again

Hopefully he is having his medical!

According to the Times, Southampton are ready to spurn any offer we make.

I would expect nothing less from them at the start of negotiations. If JWP wants out they will change their tune, and perhaps after year's of treading water he is ready for something new. The issue is the long contract of course, but no one wants to keep an unhappy player.

Time for us to give Jack a new deal again to silence the rumours instantly. The speculation is only going to get worse when he "brings football home" this summer and wins us the euros in spite of Southgate.

Southampton are a selling club, always have been. Lallana, Mane, VVD, Hojbjerg etc. If we want JWP and the price is right they will listen to offers.

Pretty amazing if they manage to get Edouard and Boubakary Soumaré for a combined fee of £40m. 2 players I'd love at Villa.

The buy well do Leicester, young or old. Both Fofana and Evans were/are excellent for the money paid. They bought terribly after winning the league but seem to have sorted that now.

Fabrizio tweeting Edouard very close to joining Leicester now. We can scratch that one off if he was ever a serious target. He’ll do well there under Brenda. 

£15m reported fee too. We should be all over that at that price but unless Wesley moves on I don't think we are in the market for another forward.

Buendia, for me, wanted him last year when he was supposedly available for £20m. He would give us much-needed creativity that only Jack currently provides.

I'm greedy and want Buendia, he will be available and is an excellent player. We don't necessarily need him right now but if Grealish keeps going he will have suitors again next summer. It makes sense to replace your best players before they leave not after. Buendia would be ideal as well as being able to play off the right if Traore doesn't cut it.

Long story short, multiple clubs interested with no agreement 

Remember that Barkley caught everyone unaware. Only speculation from a few journos before we signed him,  no offer accepted reports or him travelling up to Bodymoor Heath. I'm hoping it's the same here!

Not sure if it was mentioned before, but interesting to note that the Instagram photo that he (Nakamba) shared of himself & Rashica was also liked by a certain Ahmed Elmohamedy.

I have not seen this, that's the issue with the Rashica thread being closed I guess...

We need Nakamba to get his mate Rashica over the line! I also wouldn't be in a rush to get rid as I think he will be better this year.

Trez will start against Liverpool, Traore will come on around 70 mins and score a hattrick to beat Liverpool 3-0. The whole country will then see us as genuine title contenders and Traore will start every game there after! You heard it here first.

Beat me to it, but f**king hell that was out of the blue!

Chelsea fans were crying out for him to get on the pitch yesterday. I am all for this signing, much more than RLC, would improve us no end.

Leeds signing Cuisance and Cantwell apparently.

Good deals for them. Still no mention of their extravagant spending though. Supposedly that would that their spending to £80m.

I call bullshit.

Two good signings for good prices if the reports are true. We could do a lot worse!
