Get him signed ,reminds me of Cornet.

[northeastclaret]

And why would we let a Villa player train with us when they are our next opponents unless of course he is our player

He must be training somewhere , it’s becoming quite weird that it’s so quiet on the player after all the progress on the transfer last week.

[Firthy]

All the talk about Tella and we don't even know if Southampton will sell him so maybe we don't even have the option to buy him which is why we're looking elsewhere.

[Carlos the Great]

Not over but the same. €18m =£15m

18 million euros .. equals 15 .352520

[Tricky Trevor]

18 million euros .. equals 15 .352520

.352520= back pocket change but thanks.

Things are gone very quite ….. is it the calm before the storm

Is that expectation or wishful thinking?

It's like writing for Christmas as a kid.

[Selby Claret]

Tella starts for Saints

[Firthy]

I keep Tellaing everyone that Tella won't be going anywhere.

[mybloodisclaret]

Tella starts for Saints

Wish there was a 'dislike' button.

[ksrclaret]

I’m almost certain that with the money already invested we’re not going to leave ourselves short. It wouldn’t make sense.

It’ll probably be right up to the deadline day though and it might even be a loan or two, but we will address LB and possibly another midfield and forward.

Matt Targett on loan from Newcastle might be a good option right now. I’d definitely be looking into that one.

[RVclaret]

Pete O’Rourke suggesting Kompany wants a prolific striker and would be willing to pay over £20m for one.

I remember in the documentary that they said that the bottom 3 spent a minimum of 140m each last season.

Said the same last Thursday

But is he any better than CT ?

I’ve only watched him a handful of times but the thing that stood out about him was his balance and composure on the ball. He played in that Fulham side that won promotion under Jokanovic that were very easy on the eye, and then went on to Villa and Newcastle who both play decent stuff. For that reason I think he’d be better suited to VK than Taylor is.

Plenty of Prem experience now as well. No doubt we’ve got targets from foreign leagues but I do think we’re still lacking a bit of domestic know-how.

So why did he let Wout go?

I don't think this is a bad shout I have to say

[Vegas Claret]

as good as he was that's just silly money

[Ric_C]

My mate is a Boro fan and he mentioned this yesterday. I just laughed and asked him if they had a spare 20 mill lying about . One of the more bizarre links of the season.

Almost as bizarre as that idiot from Talksport (Alex Crook?) Who said we would give him to West Ham for free last year!

As well as tipping us for relegation

[BigGaz]

Appreciate they are not always accurate but Transfermarkt have Romelo Lukaku’s salary as of last year at 12m per annum.

Given that we need a little bit of experience in our ranks, I’d much prefer exploring the possibility of whether we could get him on a year loan for 50% or 75% of his salary. It would help Chelsea out massively with FFP and he looks to have burnt bridges with the Italian sides that look to have been able to afford to take him.

Big question marks over whether he’d come of course but you would imagine the longer the window goes on the more attractive it would look for Chelsea to get him out of the door for whatever they can get for him and for him personally.

Pie in the sky, obviously, and very unlikely but It would be good to see if VK’s star power can pull in some established names as well as these exciting up and comers that have various clubs after them

[claretburns]

Southampton wanting €25-30 million for Tella from Leverkusen, as good as he is and how the majority of fans would want him back, he won't be coming here at that price.

A lot of people strangely thought Tella was too dear at 15m,claiming unproven in the premier league .Well , if he was proven he would be 50m

Haha, absolutely no chance. Also, every club he joins he leaves on bad terms. Definitely not a good player for the dressing room.

Hope that puts to bed everyone saying ‘just pay the money and get tella in’ no way should anyone be spending 25m on tella

Southampton are in the position where they can ask what they like. They’ve no need to sell. Already raked in huge sums and have a billionaire owner.

He's a billionaire for a reason.

They're quoting silly money in the hope that some mugs will then think 15m is a bargain.

Which it really isn't.

Don't be surprised to see him go on deadline day for around £10m.

[agreenwood]

Centre half linked…

I'd be surprised at £10m. Southampton are in a win/win position. If they don't sell they'll see him as a key player for their promotion efforts.

[agreenwood]

Centre half linked…

Looks like Anderlecht fans are pretty surprised by this. Doesn’t appear to play much for them.

[123EasyasBFC]

Centre half linked…

The source is being called out on twitter

[dermotdermot]

Tella scores. I think that we can kiss that one goodbye, especially at 25-30 million.

[Nori1958]

Sacha says its happening so shouldn't get called out too much

[northeastclaret]

Centre half linked…

Not the dreaded medical . Burnley’s own Bermuda triangle, where the transfer disappears never to be heard of again

[Firthy]

Looks like Anderlecht fans are pretty surprised by this. Doesn’t appear to play much for them.

Not as surprised as us. Why do we need another CB when we have 4 already and we need a striker midfield and LB

[Murger]

I’m not sure another centre back is what we really need.

[Nori1958]

Can play left back

[ksrclaret]

Nixon did say recently that we’re after a back up centre half as one of 5 more players targeted.

[agreenwood]

The source is being called out on twitter

I think what they were doing is reacting in surprise. He doesn’t start for Anderlecht.

At €1m it looks like pure back up territory. The new Kevin Long

[agreenwood]

Can play left back

He is left footed according to Tranfermarkt

[Vegas Claret]

looks like a no risk back up at that price
