I think we can have some optimism about Flynn not just from Steinberg's quote, but also from the looks of it that Lopetugui and Steidten are seemingly hellbent on signing a lot of players.

Right, round up of rumours I've seen online (some mentioned here already) :
Bojan Miovski Danny Ings Adam Lallana Jack Clarke Sepp Van den Berg Joe Rodon Ben Johnson Loum Tchaouna Kenan Piric Matt O'Reilly James McAtee Jobe Bellingham Leonardo Bittencourt Matias Soule Reuell Walters Callum O'Hare Armando Broja
I doubt there is very much truth to any of them and I've never even heard of some of them. I'm sure I've missed a ton of others, but this is all based on Google searches the last few days.
Only one of them is a GK. That worries me. Oh well, get the Euros out the way and the silly season can begin in earnest.
I didn't mention the likes of Jack Butland, Caoimhin Kelleher, Daniel James and one or two others I see that pundits suggested we should look at as that's not even a rumour, is it? That's just some bloke saying "Southampton should have a look at him." Even I can do that. Aaron Ramsdale, anyone?

Cedric Soares has been released by Arsenal…expect him to be linked with Saints next.
I see Curly Stu has departed. I wish him well.

Not a rumour but a thought based on who Tottenham have released
Sessegnon- we need a LB and we could revitalise a good yoing player in the same way we did KWP

Ah - Sessegnon has a dodgy hammy… Shame. Although given our track record signing injured players... The other lad...Japhet Tanganga who's been released with him...we were linked with him before I remember.

With Brereton-Diaz and Miovski, I feel they've been linked with us so many times in different transfer windows over the years that they're just bound to never happen.

I like that we’re after a much-needed striker but I demand better names.

and I do not like this obsession with man city children, Liam Delap, I get he's got potential, but we've got kids with potential… If we going to have kids with potential we might as well not spend money on the ones we don't have and use the ones we do
But seriously, to play striker in the Prem, you need a good strong grown-up, preferably with top-level experience (although not necessarily Premier league), but above all they've got to be good

You could have got Sesko for peanuts last summer but RBL are now asking silly money that few can afford. With no Brooks and no Stu I'm also expecting us to find a decent #10 to provide the bullets.
