    I'm 99.999%!

    Like Schad said, if they were willing to let him go then there'd be a mile long list of teams queuing up, we've had a few players 'slip under the radar' and come to us but that wouldn't be the case here unless we were paying serious money to price everyone else out of the market, which I just don't see.

    If ur looking at the striker rumours were looking at spending 20 mill max I reckon, it wud take 30 atleast to tempt them into selling

    Nah I reckon 25m would be about right, but as Mikey said a hell of a lot of teams would be after him.

    Didn't he cost Chelsea close to £20 mil? From memory it was about £18 mil or so.

    Anyway not a hope in hell he signs for Saints

    The ever reliable Wikipedia says £10m which could rise to £17m with addons - presumably selling him on forfeits those addons so Chelsea will have paid less?

    Saints have today had a bid accepted for a player. Cortese has split from the camp base in Catalunya to go and negotiate.

    Source: Monk (poster on Saintsweb), whose contact works on the coaching staff.

    Had heard it myself earlier, before seeing Monk's post. Appears Beefy has heard similar from a conversation we had earlier.

    That comes supported by a member of Saints staff now so seems likely to be fact.

    I'm sure I watched Lukaku give an interview to sky sports news this morning saying he didn't want to leave Chelsea this summer?

    He said he didn't want to go on loan, yeah. I don't think he'd have been asked about a permanent switch because it seems so outlandish!

    I wasn't knocking your knowledge of it, I was just wanting to inform the others that the source is a credible one.

    No problem. The fact that Monk has said it adds a lot of credibility. Exciting times.

    Absolutely. Banega would be a fabulous addition.

    Okay, we have credible evidence that we've had a bid accepted for Banega, and negotiations are set to begin. Do we need a Saint Ever thread, or are we forgoing it in the hopes that this transfer wraps up in under six weeks?

    Really hoping it is Banega, if that comes off I will consider this window a success, even if we didn't sign anyone else.
