Just saw this on the Saints subreddit ( ) thought i'd share here as well. No idea of validity but see no reason why he would make this up, and from his posting history is at least Dutch: Make of this what you will, I think for me the key parts are the 40% salary cut, the lack of discipline from MoPe (not surprising) & lack of foresight from the board in understanding the situation with MoPe & the players.

Tadic, Boufal and Carillo - there has to be a goal or two in there somewhere..

I've seen nothing from this guy's twitter history that says he has any ITK credentials. In fact, on July 2nd he states that Keita had agreed contract, fee and shirt number. Interesting how that has since transpired - another fake 'ITK' trying to make a scene.

The article says he continues to be an employee which would be the case if he were suspended. To me, the reason for that article was to put more public pressure on the Telegraph to release actual transcripts and details of the meeting, rather than maintain "full transparency" for the fan base. But take it as you please.

Good to see that glass ceiling is still perfectly in tact.

Where have all the resident ITKs gone? Surely if we we're done they would confirm as such? Don't see any advantage to not saying we're finished if we truly are..

I'd be surprised at 100k. Think about the precedent it sets and soon enough every other senior player will be asking why they're not also on 100k.

Strong statement to make given last couple years...lest hope its actually true this time.

He just added "#wemarchon" to the end of his post.........I reckon they're getting ready to announce he's signed a new deal. Would be strange to add that otherwise. Fingers Crossed.

Memories of Lallana anybody?

Swansea reject Everton's 10m bid for Williams. They really are smashing the glass right out the park this year.

Shane Long - get in.

Excellent news. Very happy with Davis, always plays his part and is a vital member to the team and squad as a whole.

Depends who his source is versus KBSS. If his source doesn't know any better than "yes we're getting RK, set to be announced Monday" then that is all the info the other ITK will have. Equally, KBSS may have found something out which is much more up-to-date, especially from our end, which may be more accurate. The fact is, he STILL hasn't been announced despite the Everton ITK claiming it had been done weeks ago and set to be announced the following day. I feel there is still something holding up, probably regarding poaching clauses which we aren't happy with so are not accepting the £5m comp. In which case, RK is not able to complete his move, hence getting put on "gardening leave" for the last year of his contract. Who knows though, really. All that is needed is for Everton to decide to abide by the poaching clause (assuming that is the hold up) and then we can both get on our merry way. It doesn't help RK's position to not manage for a year, nor do we really want to spend £££ on a new manager and backroom staff in place without any compensation.

What i'd pay for a Gaun smiley face right now..

Maybe he only had a 5 year contract with the agency and wasn't happy with them? Or wasn't happy with how they were dealing with things (too much agent talk in the papers); who knows?

Timely video given the recent rumours and also today's news that RK has a new agent. I can't help but feel it still mirrors Clyne's situation last year RE: "talks progressing well". Hopefully the club are pretty confident in Koeman, and that they have aligned their ambitions before today, hence the agents only getting involved this week.

He's gone on holiday. My friend saw him at the Soton Airport and he said contract talk after holiday.

Same as he has always stated. Basically, its paper talk. As expected.

Basically, bunch of people on YouTube who started making FIFA (the game) videos and posting on line. Got a massive following (talking tens of millions of subscribers) and ultimately joined together to form a big group (Sidemen). As you can imagine, they have a massive audience from all over the word, but particularly UK as they are UK based. Don't think this is just small business, these guys are making £100K+ a year from this, so it is a pretty big deal. They will easily be able to fill the stadium, and I'm sure tickets will / have already sold out very fast. As for the testimonial, it's shame the game won't sell out. I think it would be a nice occasion to just see the old players again. If you don't want to go, don't go - simple as that!

To be fair, Martina played very well last game and Cedric had a pretty poor game before that; can't say I'm surprised he's on the bench.
