I imagine Eric Black is marking the new Southampton manager's card and we can expect him trying his luck to get, as well as Amavi, Traore, Green, Hepburn-Murphy, Toner, Lyden even Grealish, who were being protected from playing by Black because they were important for our future.

Amavi already being linked due to past connection with the new Southampton manager.

I meant to imply that Black's new boss had already made that move without any prompting.

It's possible that as Black has had some success with Gabby's weight reducing programme
he might suggest he follows him down there.

Replacement for Guzan you say?

Anders Lindegaard released by the truck stop mob.







Runs off quickly.

Robson-Kanu on a free could be a useful squad option. Knows the league, works hard and can play in a number of positions.

West Ham will allow keeper Darren Randolph, 29, to leave for about Ł3m as the Republic of Ireland international wants more regular first-team football. Now him and Michael McGovern on a free would be decent .

Then take Fletcher and robson kanu on a free. Cost effective.

Never buy on the evidence of a Euro / WC - there will be a reason McGovern played for Hamilton Accies, most pro keepers are good shot stoppers, there are a lot of other attributes that you would want to see by proper scouting....concentration, kicking, positioning etc

Likewise Robson-Kanu, one scuffed shot & running about a lot is not a recommendation.

Fletcher is so soft for a player of his physique, might do a job in the Championship but not sure he offers anything Gestede / Kozak don't.

Randolph did ok at BLose at this level so would be a decent shout although so did Steer so why not back the one we already have?

I'd take them all especially based on euros or world cup or copa America as then they are provern on world stage and can handle big pressure .

Have another watch  of Robson Kanu goal tonight he clearly had skill so you can't hold it against him his scuffed shot the other day (harsh )

He's scored eight goals in around a hundred games across three seasons for Reading in the Championship and has been released by them.

If we're signing somebody on the basis of a couple of good performances in this tournament let's get Zoltan Gera and Gabor Kiraly as well.

The thing is Robson-Kanu scoring a scuffed effort and a good goal today doesn't make up for the fact that he's a 1 in 7 striker who's best ever season was scoring 7 in in 30.  He's 27 and has never looked very good in his career, 2 international goals don't change that fact.

Or to put it another way in the month of April 2014 Rudy Gestede, who most would say isn't good enough for us scored two more goals than Robson-Kanu has scored in the last two years in the same division.

Sign him up.

Dzsudzsák  Hungary would be good.
As would Brady and Hoolahan.
Gunnarson has experiences in championship football and sigurdsson defender against England was first class.  These guys are all decent and wouldn't say no

If Wales win the euros .... I think it changes things . They can at least get to the final . So not unlikely he wouldn't score a final goal even if don't win! Shows something
