    Saints planning to use Radhi Jaidi's Tunisian connections to bring in Tunisian international attacking midfielder Oussama Darrragi from Esperance Tunis.

    Probably true but out of date by now. Also, it wasn't exactly a secret was it?


    Source?

    Made it up. Looked for a random Tunisian international to make the link to Radhi Jaidi. Didn't realise he'd just signed for Sion.

    Common sense in NC and NA means we won't buy another striker, now these positions are more than taken care of.

    Defence needs a look at RB and two CBs. Plus a winger and GK.

    Can't believe that we let Bart go without having a GK lined up. I suppose he had no future here and they wanted to be fair to him, but I thought we must have one signed up.

    Good one.

    I'm not worried by this at all, there's plenty of time left and plenty of goalkeepers available who are at least as good as Bart.

    I think going into the Premiership with squad spaces to fill is a huge advantage. West Ham are coming up with about seven strikers and probably need to buy about two more, having a long list of deadwood is never good for a club. In fact bringing the bulk of a team from 22nd in League 1 to the Premiership without regular chopping and selling is one of Nigel's many brilliant achievements. And I can see almost all of our current first team squad being involved next season.

    Agreed, it makes sense as he handed in a transfer request 4 days ago. Hopefully, this may have some legs on it.

    Love translations. He's under fire from Southampton...presumably means targetted by Southampton.

    He's quick which is what we need. However, he is also an attack-minded left winger which I wouldn't think is our main priority.

    Lallana could switch to the right or we could play him in a play maker role.

    He's got more ability than anyone else in our squad. As much as I love Lallana we would have to move him to right mid to make room for this fella.

    Good find! Who knows how reliable it is, but an exciting rumour nonetheless. A slightly better translation than Google's effort:

    Despite experiencing a subdued season in Turin, suitors continue to increase for the signature of Eljero Elia, 25-year-old winger currently under contract at Juventus but eager to leave Italy for first-team football.

    As reported by "Sky", in fact, the player, who previously played for teams like Schalke 04 and Benfica, will come into the crosshairs of Southampton, newly promoted English club in the Premier League, which wants to reinforce with a coup of international calibre.

    News on the progress of negotiations is expected in the coming weeks.

    Worth noting that the Sky mentioned is Sky Italia, affiliated with, but not the same entity as the Sky we know.

    I'm pretty sure he could play on the right if necessary.
