Robbie Keane's new manager is Teddy Sheringham. Other managers in the league include former Villa man John Gregory (Chennaiyin FC), Steve Coppell (Jamshedpur FC) and Rene Meulensteen of Kerala Blasters, who managed Fulham for about half a minute (or two and a half months, but whatever).

Rene Meulensteen seems to have a knack for getting fired quickly, didn't he manage Zeith for about a week?

 

Also I did wonder where John Gregory had gone after Villa. Was it Villa or Derby who sacked him because of dodgy transfer deals?

It was Anzhi in the Russian league. He took over after Hiddink left and then got replaced/sacked like 3 weeks later.

Since leaving Villa John Gregory managed QPR and, more recently, Crawley until a heart problem caused him to step down.

I was hoping it would be a over sized comedy cheque

Southampton have agreed a deal with Juventus for midfielder Mario Lemina. 16m initially, rising to 20m.

I remember getting the impression when Meulensteen was some hotly tipped upcoming manager guy until pretty much every managerial job he's had has been poop

Robbie Keane disappoints me yet again for not finishing his career playing in the League of Ireland.

[Gazz]

He's still got 10 years in him. 

[The Lusophone]

At that level? Probably.

[Baddar]

So Coutinho to Barca could be happening after all. 

[The Lusophone]

Baddar in the know??

[Baddar]

I saw something on Facebook which said the people who originally broke the "Neymar a done deal" stuff are now saying the same about Coutinho. Googled it and it looks like there may be something to it. We'll see.

[hugobomb]

Any word on what they're paying for him? Since Barcelona have £200 million burning a hole in their pocket I want Liverpool to properly take the piss and demand £120 million plus for him

Leeds have signed Cameron Borthwick-Jackson from Man Utd on a season long loan.

[Benji]

George Thomas is apparently signing with Leicester from Coventry. Nice to have backup I suppose, don't know anything about him.

[Hobo]

James Pearce of the Liverpool Echo says that there's no sign Coutinho wants to leave Liverpool and as he has no release clause in his contract.

[Szumi]

VVD has apparently submitted an official transfer request to Southampton

[Loz]

And Brighton have broken their record transfer fee in a Propper tasty looking deal.

Nah. Duff signed for Shamrock Rovers at the end of his career and he was shite. Our level isn't the highest but you definitely need legs to play here.

Keane would do well now but I can't see him thriving in a few years.

[Baddar]

Fosu Mensah is going out on loan to Crystal Palace.

[Lineker]

West Ham United have signed teenage attacking midfielder Sead Haksabanovic from Swedish club Halmstads BK for an undisclosed fee. The 18-year-old, who cost a reported £2.7m, has agreed a five-year contract.

Stoke City have signed Cameroon winger Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting on a three-year deal after his contract ran out at German club Schalke.

Nice have confirmed the signing of Wesley Sneijder.
