Deals expected today for Antonio and Martin


Recommended Posts

Blimey, they must be impressed with him. I thought it would've been 18 months/2 years to see how he goes (unless you mean four-fifths of course ;))

 

Just a hopeful guesstimate.

1 month extra for Antonio.

This suggests to me that he will be allowed to play on Friday by Reading.

 

Otherwise we would have left the one month extension until the weekend so that it would cover the Walsall game on the 5th Dec.

Great News!! Shame about Trotman though - Gonna be a huge miss IMO :(

 

Yes but It's not as if we're going into the competition with a realistic chance of getting past the 4th or 5th round. Better he's available for the League and JPT IMO. If we can extend his loan period or better still buy him in January, he'll be available from Round 3 anyway (if we're still in of course).

A point being that he is past it. Sorry but Perry is no longer up to scratch. If we cannnot sign Trotters, which i have not entirely rules out, we should look at the other talented centre halves in the league like young Tamika Mkawindra from Leyton Orient who scored against us.

 

Having seen first hand the value of 2 bruising centre halves we do not want to revert to our old ways

or Thomas !

 

Cant believe Chelsea dont want Mellis cup tied though.

 

Chelski are not allowed to buy/loan anybody at the moment and they'll also lose a few players to the African Cup of Nations, so it might be that they find themselves a bit short come January ??

Can't think of any other reason because he did not appear too close to the first team before we got him !!!

Now on OS http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1845791,00.html

 

I have heard from a reliable source that Reading see him as "surplus to requirements"

 

I can't for the life of me see why

 

but oh well, one mans junk and all that...

 

I wonder if Reading's apparent willingness to allow Antonio to play in the FA Cup might mean a 'Gentleman's Agreement' now exists between the two clubs to make this transfer permanent in January ?

the words "gentleman" and "football" do not sit happily together, sadly

Has the Martin deal run into trouble then?

 

Becoming more drawn out than the Skacel transfer. Bit strange really considering the magnitude of the deal and all 3 parties are keen for it to happen.

They probably don't want to cup tie him in the hope that they will be able to sell him in January, if the transfer ban gets lifted, to a club still in the cup.

Trotman was a little off the pace on Saturday, he seemed to think he had more control than he did, maybe the rest will do him some good.

 

Was thinking the same, he didnt look right after the game either a few of the players seeing if he was ok, you can see it in some of the You tube clips

Well he did get quite a smack in the head when they scored so he could have been playing with concussion.
