thorpie the sinner Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 yep reckon the cleaner must have written that lol!!!
Smirking_Saint Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Actually yeah it is on the league one ticker for saints news, but solent say we have not and nothing on OS. We must be close though, unlike SSN to post random rubbish
S-Clarke Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Still on SSN League 1 News tab. what does it actually say? is it ''Sky sports understands that southampton are closing in on the signing....''' or does it say we have actually signed him? i've missed it. i still believe it'll happen tbf
Under Weststand Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Just come up on the League 1 info bar, but there is no confirmation from either clubs OS or anywhere else. Would like it to be true, guess its wait & watch a little longer yet folks.
Saint Charlie Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Wonder if the Solent post means they think he hasn't signed yet or won't sign at all?
pilsburydoughboy Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Smoke screen to cover our signing of Messi from under Pompeys nose.
tommi Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 new tweet saying someone in the sky sports office is going to get a slap on the wrists tomorrow.... no confirmed deal! (yet?)
beatlesaint Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 what does it actually say? is it ''Sky sports understands that southampton are closing in on the signing....''' or does it say we have actually signed him? i've missed it. i still believe it'll happen tbf It says he has signed on 18 month contract.
Colinjb Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Smoke screen to cover our signing of Messi from under Pompeys nose. What UTTER rubbish Everyone knows it's Saviola we are really after.
scotty Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Thats Sky Sports banned from the stadium then lol lmao
tommi Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 officialsaints Having a quiet chuckle whilst watching sky sports news-got a hunch some1 in their office will have a slapped wrist in the morning #saintsfc
M271 Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 what does it actually say? is it ''Sky sports understands that southampton are closing in on the signing....''' or does it say we have actually signed him? i've missed it. i still believe it'll happen tbf Words to the effect of ' Southampton have signed Coventry defender Elliot Ward on an 18 month contract'
hypochondriac Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Bizarre. "saintsfc are not signing elliot ward" seems pretty definite. Bet Cortese leaked it to Sky to teach us a lesson. The warning signs were there from the Fonte article!
S-Clarke Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 weird, unlike sky to get something like that wrong. they have so many connections all over the world, agents etc - so can get the goss on most deals. at a guess they've just jumped the gun on it slightly.

The warning signs were there from the Fonte article! based on how that tweet is written, i wouldn't read anything into it's full meaning.
thorpie the sinner Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 who runs the officialsaints twitter site? a fan?

Exactly. News was likely embargoed and they have broken this.
S-Clarke Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 who runs the officialsaints twitter site? a fan? it's the club, i think the media dept. usually sent out the tweets
niceandfriendly Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 who runs the officialsaints twitter site? a fan? Saints.
hypochondriac Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 who runs the officialsaints twitter site? a fan? Cortese
scotty Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 someone at sky being trigger-happy? :confused: let Malcolm Tucker loose on them
Ponty Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 solentsport Solent understands #saintsfc are not signing elliot ward from coventry despite wat certain media are claiming tonite Is that verbatim? Jesus Christ.
Saint Charlie Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Someone with twitter reply and ask if Solent mean won't ever or haven't yet!
niceandfriendly Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 That's a shame. I was getting a little excited about that. Change the thread title again so others don't get their hopes up?
Matthew Le God Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Having a quiet chuckle whilst watching sky sports news-got a hunch some1 in their office will have a slapped wrist in the morning #saintsfc Hopefully he'll be announced in the morning.
thorpie the sinner Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 I think wardy could be a great assett, will be gutted if this doesn't go through! The thing that keeps my hopes up is that the official site was chuckling. Hoping it has just been embargoed!
RedAndWhite91 Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 officialsaints "SSN don't normally get things wrong though.....
saint_stevo Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 there is a ward playing for cov v pompey.....maybe he will be getting a lift back with them!

The thing that keeps my hopes up is that the official site was chuckling. Hoping it has just been embargoed! Probably the media guy laughing at Cortese's reaction!
EBS1980 Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 I replied with SSN don't normally get things wrong though. And i just had a message back from Saints saying first time for everything. So just asked "So is it not happening at all or is it just that they announced it before you guys do in the morning :-) " Let you know if i get anything back.
EBS1980 Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 They just updated with: Lets clear this up once and for all-no leaked announcement, no premature announcement, just someone at Sky getting things v wrong!
S-Clarke Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 tweet: Lets clear this up once and for all-no leaked announcement, no premature announcement, just someone at Sky getting things v wrong!
beavis17 Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 there is a ward playing for cov v pompey.....maybe he will be getting a lift back with them! is there? there's wood but not ward
Smirking_Saint Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Whats all the negativity about cortese about ?? We do have a fickle bunch of f*ckers on the forum
hypochondriac Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Whats all the negativity about cortese about ?? We do have a fickle bunch of f*ckers on the forum It was a joke. Calm down love.
hypochondriac Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Can someone just ask the question "is Elliot Ward not signing then?"
RedAndWhite91 Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 I replied with SSN don't normally get things wrong though. And i just had a message back from Saints saying first time for everything.

thorpie the sinner Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 I must admit, that last tweet has really ****ed me off!!!!!!!
NickG Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Lets clear this up once and for all-no leaked announcement, no premature announcement, just someone at Sky getting things v wrong! saints official tweeter
hypochondriac Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 I must admit, that last tweet has really ****ed me off!!!!!!! Why? I'm not ****ed off, just a bit deflated.
Gigersaint Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 tweet: Lets clear this up once and for all-no leaked announcement, no premature announcement, just someone at Sky getting things v wrong! Getting it very wrong because it's a 3 year deal not an 18 month one?
