Could anyone recommend a streaming site/app other than SportsMania, preferably Kodi based. Or is SportsMania by far the best one out there?

Looks like a decent signing, our starting midfielders are all pretty good technically but none of them have the pace or power to really break through the oppositions midfield. Seeing as we would never pay the going rate for a true number 10 this is probably the next best thing, having a midfielder that gives the opposition something to think about when going forward, even if it isn't for his goal scoring ability

Flying over tomorrow for a medical according to papers in France. If only we had someone who could check...

Great news and thanks for the update as ever. Would you be able to say if we are trying to sign more that one attacking midfielder?

Really hope Adam Blackmore is wrong and we are also in for Stanciu. Looks a very good player and even with another signing with Jay going out on loan we need another attacker in.

Stanciu has good stats in terms of goals and assists in what is a poor league. Obviously if he does join he will be playing against much tougher opposition but he will be playing with much better players, sometimes players will shine because of who they play with not who they are playing against. Also the few times i have seen him in the euros and vs Man city he looked good to me, never looked out of his depth. Maybe thats just me watching with red tinted glasses as we are linked with him...

For only the second competitive game under a new manager with a new system still (Hopefully) missing a couple of signings i thought we looked good. We gave away a soft penalty and we had some good chances that on another day we could have scored a couple of. That United team will be challenging for the league. Sunderland now though is a big game for us!

Do you know what positions they play?

Guan said earlier the player plays on the left side of attack and he is not physically akin to Pelle, i dont think Bas Dost plays on the left (might be wrong) and also Pelle and Bas Dost are both fairly similar physically, unless i am reading too much into the comments i wouldn't have thought it is him.

I understand that the club can keep everything underwraps. But surely if you are signing a player who is highly rated (who we clearly must be looking at) the club who is selling will just leak it to try and get others on the bus and bump up the price. I mean if we are going after players that we are paying a good price for and there might not be a lot of interest from other clubs obviously the club we are buying from won't risk squealing and jeopardising the deal on the table. But if the player we are after is being watched by other prem teams I wonder what keeps the selling club leaking it and trying to up the price?

Surprised Romeu hasn't been included, only 2 years left on his contract and imo he is a very important part of the squad

How likely is it that they will all be signed? I guess this is a club "Leak" so maybe they are already done.

He tweeted earlier he had a day off, so doubt it is anything Saints Related.

Højbjerg looking brilliant, can do the intricate stuff with ease and can also bully people both on the ball and off it. Couple of surging runs after out muscling out opponents already!

Better quality video for anyone interested

Tielemans sounds like an incredible player and fits the description Nixon gave. Not only would he be a statement of intent on his own. The fact he normally plays deeper in the midfield (an area I think we are already strong in) would blow all these "they are only looking for a backup keeper and a RB" story's out of the water.

Gylfi Sigurðsson would be an incredibly smart buy IMO. One area we have really struggled with in recent times is a No. 10, for whatever reason it never quite seems to work out for whoever we bring in. Sigurðsson is proven quality. Would love to sign him

Our midfield last year was brilliant defensively but lacked someone in the Morgan role who could get forward and play that final pass, while Wanyama/Romeu/Clasie were not useless going forward sometimes in games we were dominating we missed having someone sitting deeper who could really open teams up, sometimes even leading VVD having to be the one that attempted it. I'm no German football expert but this guy does seem to be more in the mold of Morgan who can be a bit more of an attacking threat while still keeping the holding midfield a strong defensive unit.

marseilles have bid 1.5 Million euros for Nagy Kaputska valued around 5 million Euros Staniu is valued at around 5 million pounds

Stanciu, Nagy and Kaputska all for around 10 million would be great business. Adds depth to the squad and brings in players with lots of potential to a club and under a manager who both have a history of improving players!

From seeing Nagy at the Euros i think this would be a very good signing for a low fee, looked very athletic with quick feet and looked a very smart footballer for someone who has only just turned 21 competing at the highest level of his career. Obviously a very small sample of games. Would be interesting to see if we do sign him what that means for Reed/Potential Wanyama replacement.

I think that piece mainly adds up, but why if his job was (possibly) only saved by Pelle getting injured and is not well liked by many players and many members of the board is he being offered a new contract? Other than that ties into what KBSS and Guan have hinted at and also what we can actually see happening

People suggesting this Everton rumour has been leaked by his agent to get a bigger contract, how would this work? Surely we would have had to give him permission to talk to Everton, and if we hadn't we would know it's a bluff, no?

Would take Chambers back on a permanent. Young, versatile, home grown and clearly talented. Would be a very nice purchase considering defense is a position where we maybe don't have the depth like in other areas (RB up in the air, CB cover not brilliant) Would be a smart piece of business imo

Sounds very positive, iirc Koeman has gone on record saying things like his wage would not be an issue only the ambition of the club. Would be the most important contract signing at the club this summer if it is to happen!
