Saints bid €30m for Moroccan forward Sofiane Boufal

looks good. Still think that Berahino is good value and if correct around half this price

Looks like Berahino would cost about £20m though (Stoke & Watford also interested driving it up) - so about £5m less than Boufal

Not sure if his attitude issues have changed. If not, no thanks.

Just thought I’d share this utter load of bollox from my least favourite news outlet with you all. So Berahino plays for West Ham apparently and Saints still don’t have a new manager! I checked the date and yes it is today’s…enjoy!

I’m not saying he’s no good’ I’m providing more evidence for BTripz that £13/14m for Andros Townsend is not expensive but just the going rate. I have nothing against Tomkins, he is merely being used to show what £10m gets you nowadays.

Yeah, isn’t it amazing, the clubs get all this windfall money and they suddenly start spunking it on crap instead of trying to help the fans.

What does “help the fans” even mean in this context?

The fans deserve a world class radio station and catering.

Cheaper ticket prices would be a good start!! £50 for a replicae shirt? Surely they could sell those a lot cheaper?

And yes, RB, decent catering at the ground would also be a good thing

It is understood Liverpool have accepted a £15m bid from Bournemouth for Jordon Ibe and have given him permission to speak to the Cherries.

Wow, I thought Ibe was the next Sterling for Liverpool, hold on…

TOP STORY: Man Utd in talks over £100m move for Paul Pogba, according to Sky sources: http://skysports.tv/Hupk3Z

Didn’t they let him go for a free a couple of seasons ago?

EDIT : Ah no, he joined Juventus after not signing a new contract at Man United

They had to pay 800k I believe… Not a bad return

Underfloor fucking heating - fed up shivering like some bloody wimp!

# ITA striker Graziano Pelle is set to leave # SaintsFC for China in a £13million deal

Shandong is said to be where Pelle is heading. Will mean around a £4m profit on striker with a year left on his deal & turning 31 next week

# SaintsFC had been reluctant to offer a contract extension to Pelle, who it appears has been keen on a move to China since January

I thought He was dead set on a move back to Italy to finish his career?

I guess that as his stock has risen because of the Euros he may as well take the stupid money the Chinese are currently throwing around & fair play to him if he does.

ok, ok, ok, ignoring the udoubted click-fest press-bollocks, do we have even a ‘proper’, sensible sniff (and I love a proper sniff) of what business we can expect or are doing this year??

Anything to really whet the appetite??

Dark side is in a proper whining melt so would be cool to get a real low down on anything that’s going on?

Anybody profess/confess to being ITK??

Jack - anything from your contact?
