This is great from Southampton.
The gimmick with Klopp is brilliant.

Bit brick not to put him on the train up to New Street and give the poor lad a lift up there at the same time.

Malcolm MacDonald was a left back when he started out.

Yes quite right with Sutton - I think he was a centre forward who could also fill in at the back though rather than the other way around.
david howells started with us as a striker but played as a centre half but more commonly as a central midfield.
dare i also mention that rSol started as a centre forward (scored on debut v Chelsea) and played as full back on both sides for a couple of seasons; did a decent job in defensive midfield before becoming a central defender.

judas was CM on debut. Think I’m remembering that correctly anyway?

Pulisic I guess, again agreed beforehand (I think Kovacic is more of a technicality regarding his registration as he was on loan there before the and the transfer has actually been agreed post the ban.

Manchester United are set to battle Tottenham for Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is keen on striking a deal for the Argentine international, who is currently away at Copa America, as he overhauls his squad this summer.
An initial enquiry from the Premier League outfit was rejected by Betis, who have an £89m release clause in Lo Celso's contract.
But reports in Spain suggest the La Liga side would settle for around £70m and that has alerted Manchester United .
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to bring in midfield options this summer and that search will intensify if Paul Pogba gets his wish and leaves the club.
United are keen to bring in Sean Longstaff from Saudi Sportswashing Machine but the youngster is likely to act as a replacement for Ander Herrera.
Sporting Lisbon's Bruno Fernandes is another target but Lo Celso is also on Solskjaer's radar.
MARCA reports Lo Celso is among a list of targets for the United boss and they will look to challenge Tottenham for his signature.
Lo Celso joined Betis on a permanent deal a year ago but is wanted by Spurs as a replacement for Christian Eriksen.
Pochettino is also hoping to finalise the signing of Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon this week.
The French midfielder is expected to have a medical in London on Tuesday before finalising a club-record deal.
Spurs are likely to pay around £56m up front for Ndombele, with that fee rising to close to £65m including add-ons.
It means Spurs will have to break their transfer record twice this summer if they are to land both midfield targets.

Wolves have ‘fangs’ out for signing – €40m deal possible amid Tottenham and Man United interest
By Sport Witness Team -
2nd July 2019
Frankly, we don’t see enough puns when it comes to Wolves and transfers, so L’Equipeget a bonus point today.
The French newspaper claims Nuno Espirito Santo’s club have their ‘fangs’ out, ready to pounce and sign, or perhaps maul to death, Benoît Badiashile.
Someone is clearly pushing interest in the 18 year old AS Monaco defender. The situation around him has been relatively quiet, and then yesterday France Football reported Tottenham are ‘taking an interest’ in the player.
L’Equipe don’t just mention Wolves, Manchester United are also included in the article.
It’s claimed Monaco have ‘indirectly learned’ the Red Devils ‘could also position themselves’ on the player, and their neighbours City were interested before he signed a pro contract with the French principality club.
Manchester United were previously linked in January, with it being claimed they’d made an offer the summer before.
Back to Wolves.
Monaco chief Oleg Petrov is said to have recently found out Wolves were ‘willing to make an offer’. Jorge Mendes is, of course, said to be involved, and the interest is ‘not a bluff’.
Wolves are thought to believe they have a 50/50 chance of making the signing, which L’Equipe estimate would be a deal around €40m.
It’s worth noting that on Monday, France Football, when pushing Tottenham interest, said the player’s intention is to remain where he is. He has a contract until June 2021, so perhaps this is all for negotiating purposes.
Whether it is or isn’t should quickly become clear.
Important: L’Equipe DO NOT say Wolves have made a €40m offer or that they going to, despite that being claimed elsewhere. This is exactly what the French newspaper reports around the €40m figure: ‘The amount of the potential bid that AS Monaco management has been informed of has not filtered out, but considering the market for such young people, it can be estimated at around €40m.’

Jarrod Bowen is reported to be on Arsenal's summer wish list.
The Hull City winger is a wanted man after an impressive season in the Championship, as he plundered 22 goals for the Tigers.
Arsenal's local rivals Tottenham had been keeping a close eye on Bowen's progress.
However, reports claim that Arsenal have been watching Bowen since January and are now ready to swoop.
A £12million summer move has been mooted.
Arsenal are looking for cut-price signings this summer as they look to bolster Unai Emery's ranks on a budget.
The Sun claim that Arsenal see Bowen as a value alternative to Wilfried Zaha, who hold a price tag well out of the Gunners' price range.
Reports had claimed that Emirates chiefs offered £40million for Crystal Palace star Zaha, although they would have been looking to pay the fee in installments.
With Palace set to hold firm, it is expected that Arsenal could turn their attentions elsewhere, with Bowen among the players they are considering.
Hull City are said to value their star man at £15million - but could be willing to accept a slightly smaller amount.
It is reported that Arsenal were looking at Bowen in January but decided against making a move at that time.
However, his performances in the second half of the season have forced a change in thinking in the recruitment stakes.
Arsenal are keen to sign younger players this summer, with Celtic's Kieran Tierney and St Etienne's William Saliba also on the books.
I like Bowen, but Im not completely convinced he has it to step up. At £12m well worth a punt IMO.

Correct, I meant Kovacic and Pulisic of course.
Clearly they are both ‘workarounds’, but my point was slightly tongue in cheek too.
Anyway, we’ve signed one now. Kinda....

The Guardian:
Roma are considering a move for the Spurs centre-half Toby Alderweireld, and the idea has been floated that the Italian club’s midfielder Nicolò Zaniolo could be part of a deal. That would involve Spurs paying a surplus because Alderweireld is available for £25m this month under a clause in his contract and Zaniolo, a 20-year-old prospect, is rated in the £40m bracket.
Spurs are open to bids for the full-backs Kieran Trippier and Danny Rose and they have put them forward to Roma, only to be told there is no interest in either player. But Roma would be open to taking Alderweireld, who has entered the final year on his contract and can be signed for £25m – provided that the transfer is completed at least 14 days before this summer’s window closes on 8 August.
Roma, who finished sixth in Serie A, are looking for one or two central defenders after selling Kostas Manolas to Napoli for €36m and they also like Marc Bartra at Real Betis. Alderweireld is weighing up whether to see out the final year on his deal at Spurs.
Zaniolo is on Spurs’ wish-list after his breakthrough season at Roma and the London club have held talks with his representatives. There remains the expectation that Spurs will sell their playmaker Christian Eriksen, which would greatly help to balance the books, after he announced that he wanted a new challenge at another club. Real Madrid are interested in him, as are Juventus whose new manager, Maurizio Sarri, is a big fan.
Trippier’s future has been under the spotlight and, if he leaves, it could see Spurs move for either the Norwich right-back Max Aarons or Fulham’s Steven Sessegnon. Spurs are keen to sign Sessegnon’s twin brother, Ryan, also of Fulham, who is rated at £25m.
and also claim a loan deal agreed for Ceballos (with an option to buy next year)

While I cant say Ive seen much of Ceballos, I can say these kind of numbers probably explain why we are interested:
