Good, a tall midfielder.

 

Edit: Surprised the text thing would talk of a deal before it's done.

Dean Wilkins connection

Actual quote;

"Saints confirm that they are in advanced talks with Colchester captain Dean Hammond with a view to completing a permanent deal within 24hrs".

[thorpie the sinner]

Lol no.

The Saints exclusive text thingymajiggy.

 

ah, thats better!!!

[Thedelldays]

the captain of another club too..

 

poor show of intent

[DT]

I'm glad it's not Richard Hammond.

[the saint in winchester]

Confirmed by .. who? Not even by Wiki.

A player known to Dean Wilkins, so possibly a signing. Colchester without a manager, at time of posting.

Averages 4 goals a season. Midfielder.

We await to see if this is confirmed within 24 hours, as you suggest it will be.

[RonManager]

I note the Dean Wilkins connection

[Glasgow_Saint]

the captain of another club too..

 

poor show of intent

 

why take other teams best players? makes no sense

this does not fit in with struggling in league 1 and just surviving relegation\why cant we just show some ambition...

I hope we've paid £5m for him, otherwise i've had it with ML.

Perhaps we can sell our best player to make it fair?

Good - Wilkins will know him well and Hammons gets his foot in having seen him play a couple of times. Means we won't be seeing too much more of Wotton hopefully. Feel a bit sorry for Colchester.

HAM mond?

LAMB ert?

I'm very glad we're doing such meaty (Murty?) signings.

Roll on the return of Chicken George...

[Torres]

Let's hope he can arrow a few goals in from midfield.

[Pancake]

Looks like an interesting add to the sqaud. To play along side Morgan in the middle?

Probably already posted by now but everything is on a go slow here.

Steve Claridge seemed to rate him a couple of years ago:

Sounds ideal.

One in the eye for AP!!

[S-Clarke]

At least we're adding ''captains'' down the spine of the team.

 

Now all we need is a CB....who is the captain of his current team

[Thedelldays]

will this go some way to satisfy the masses who think we are not doing enough

 

Murty

Harding

Lambert (the divisions best striker)

now this guy (a rival captain)

 

 

with more to come...does this show we are penny pinching or not showing intent..

 

ffs, a win tonight and it will be automatic promotion again..

[Hatch]

Lets hope he can get the midfield ORGANised

A Hammond Morgan combination sounds good

DD, yes we are showing intent but let's be honest we are still rebuilding for next season.

Why is this not showing intent, TDD?

 

It's what Man City have done, but on a much much smaller scale. Slowly taking the better players from our rivals.

 

I think its a good move personally.

[COMEONYOUREDS]

sounds like a good signing

Wooooshhhhh!!

[kpturner]

Dean Wilkins connection

...because they are both called "Dean" ? :-)

[S-Clarke]

DD, yes we are showing intent but let's be honest we are still rebuilding for next season.

 

..and by the looks of it, what a bloody good team we may have.

 

We're filling it with all of the other teams best players...only one way we're going if we do that! (Ok - hammond and Lambert so far - but still, it's intent IMO.)

[modern matron]

Good news! Wotton's replacement hopefully!

Brighton

[SO16_Saint]

ah, i see - sorry - got the wrong end of the stick!!

 

looks like it's another well thought out move from AP. And we've still not heard that the deal for that defender (name i cant remember) is dead.

 

slowly slowly catchy monkey
