    Brinkmanship. I bet we go higher and they go lower in the end.

    Di Marzio has just done a article on it (in Italian obviously). He says there is a £4m difference between our bid and what they want ( we have offered £16m). More discussions today and there will be more. He thinks Napoli will budge.

    The more I read about him the more I think he would be a good signing for us in the long run. Picking up on the thread of positional play, I don't see how he answers our immediate need for someone to play centrally. At the moment, thats what lacking and he's been found wanting for Napoli in that role.

    We have Redmond out right and he's firing more blanks than goals but I see no indication he'll be dropped. We're not one to build a team around him so I think MG will be competeing for his place which is only right.

    On paper we will have a helluva attacking line up with Tadic, Boufal, Jrod, Redmond, Austin, Gabbiadini and Perrenial Pest. A settled Summer could see us shaping up very nicely. Still, that central role isn't overloaded.

    I thought he would've been left out on Saturday but he wasn't, not sure if he even played though.

    Was on the bench but never came on.

    Worth noting in Italy they have 11 subs on the bench rather than 7

    0.86 today, so not peanuts when you are talking millions.

    Watford allegedly interested now aswell, if true you'd think they are willing to pay what Napoli want otherwise they wouldn't bother getting involved at this stage.

    Only Saints have bid and are in talks though, so it is up to us to get it done.

    We are currently 5/4 favourites and Watford are 7/1.

    Would play as a wide forward I would think. He's a good player, but hardly gets game time. At his age that is the most important.
