Good luck Graziano, he made a great contribution over the last two seasons - 30 goals in 81 appearances is a very good return. For me a top class striker who we will miss. Just hope Austin and Jay Rod stay fit to supplement Long.

Please make this happen, this lad looks absolute class.

Jose needs to be added to the banner, a Saints legend and a Euros Champion too now

Jose was quality tonight and Cedric played very well too. Hope they both lift the trophy!

Portugal as the way for me! Two of our own and one of them is our captain. Common Jose and Cedric!

Yes please! would be very happy if this is true

Definitely sign up long term, Oriol is a top player.

Very excited about this appointment. Originally I wanted Pellegrini but when it became clear he was pit of the running and had heard more about this guy, I did like the sound of it. Reading snippets from that French article and what he achieved at Nice. It definitely grew on me. Welcome Claude

Does this mean we are in for a big surprise?

So what is the latest? Are there any itkers with any,updates as we still do not really know who it could be. I'm still hoping for Pellegrini.

I like to wish Victor as the best. He was a powerhouse for us and will continue to be so for Tottenham. He gave us three amazing years. It was a lovely touch of a message that he wrote too

I like to wish Sadio all the best, was a top, top player for us and he will go on to become one of the best. Will never forget his record breaking hat-trick in the 6-1 demolition of Villa.

This is a joke. Should never be selling to one of our rivals. We can offer European football next season, they can't. Plus Mane is one of the best attackers we've had since MLT.

Saint Billy, what is the new direction then? Any inside info. I'm personally still hoping the new manager will be Pellegrini.

Very pleased with this signing, has got loads of potential and will only get better. Hopefully we can keep Mane.

Its breaking news on SSN, having a medical. Would be a quality signing. COYR

How come that guy on the Sotonians forum is saying that Pellegrini is the number one choice ?

Yeah exactly. Hope that isn't true and he is still in the running. Pellegrini is by and away the best candidate available.

Brilliant news, Davo is a top player & top bloke. So good that we are getting the core of the squad signed up long term.

This is absolutely correct. He is an absolute immense presence, powerhouse infact. If I were Victor I would wait and see who the new manager will be first before making any decisions.

what about Pellegrini, does anyone know if he is still in the running?

What about Pellegrini and AVB, are they on the shortlist?

I wonder if Pellegrini will be one of the candidates?
