Tac-tics Posted 12 January, 2010 Author Posted 12 January, 2010 Oh i forgot to add Sodje to out list of centre halves.... Well you know how it is.:minigun:
hypochondriac Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 BBC Coventry saying they've spoke to Saints and Coventry, Ward hasn't signed...yet! Did they say anything else? Like it looked like he would be signing?
EBS1980 Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Coventry or agent confirmed the deal? & Saints having another paddy about a signing being confirmed before the club have???? I was told the deal was due to be completed later this week. Any update on Stock?
hypochondriac Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Why is saints reportedly so anal about releasing any info first? I mean does it really matter? A decent signing is a decent signing.
SNSUN Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Nice quip on Radio 5live earlier, talking about the Forest/Brum game, the reporter said "It's hard to know which is the Premier League team here". Cut back to the Cov/Pimply game, they said "It's hard to know who's the Championship side here". Made me chortle anyway. Got overexcited about the Ward deal. Must never believe anything until it's be written in stone, and a chant has been made up about that players name.
farawaysaint Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Why is saints reportedly so anal about releasing any info first? I mean does it really matter? A decent signing is a decent signing. It's a principle thing, if the deal falls through last minute say and it's been confirmed everywhere the club is seen in a bad light. In any event information leaks in any professional business are serious.
CanadaSaint Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 But it's like someone inside the club is pulling our wire and/or taking the p*ss out of Sky on Twitter. That's very unlikely to be a disconnected, lower level person.

miserableoldgit Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Why is saints reportedly so anal about releasing any info first? I mean does it really matter? A decent signing is a decent signing. People have moaned for years about the OS - "no real news" etc. Now that they are trying to break things first on there, people are still moaning!!
Ricky Redstripe Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Did they say anything else? Like it looked like he would be signing? No, they said he was out of the squad for tonight as he is in talks with us but no confirmation as yet. They seem to think he is going to sign though. Just to make it even better, they keep going over and over that a former Saints man has scored against the Skates. P#mpey are playing sh#te!!!
beatlesaint Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 People have moaned for years about the OS - "no real news" etc. Now that they are trying to break things first on there, people are still moaning!! Exactly. If the guy hasn't signed what are they supposed to do, make it up ?

hypochondriac Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Exactly. If the guy hasn't signed what are they supposed to do, make it up ? But if he does sign, it was a bit pointless to say that Sky got it VERY wrong. They just got the timing wrong. Very wrong suggests that we haven't been close to signing him at all. If we don't sign him then fair enough. It seems clear to me that he was the player that Pardew spoke about on the radio on Saturday.

I'm not moaning, either. I'm just fascinated to know who's doing the tweeting because they're quite outspoken and seem to be pretty sure of themselves. Actually I think it's rather funny.

Very wrong suggests that we haven't been close to signing him at all. If we don't sign him then fair enough. It seems clear to me that he was the player that Pardew spoke about on the radio on Saturday. Quite. If we sign him tomorrow, then it would suggest Sky got hardly anything wrong. I'm a teeny bit worried about how precious NC is coming across with this kind of thing, the barney with the Echo and so on. If he can't handle the "media spotlight" of the local paper and the rigours of signing a CCC reserve team player then gawd help him in the Premier League*. Edited 12 January, 2010 by CB Fry *If, but very much WHEN, of course.

I'm starting to agree (IF reports about him are true)
NickG Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 personally don't mind if he is a power crazed tyrant if manager is supported and totally happy working for him he doesn't p1ss fans off builds successful side. If he wants to control media and never lets echo within mile of stadium - so be it. Would rather he got on with all, and had good relationship with echo (whose editor just said he misses Lowe) but not that important
hypochondriac Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Can I just add I thought that sentence on the end of the Fonte article was really bizarre.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 That'll teach me for getting excited before anything appears on the OS!

Just hope he realises it will pretty impossible to do the higher up we go.
CanadaSaint Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 "Is Benali Banned?" thread #2 coming up. I hereby predict the arrival of Alpine & Delldays.
saint_stevo Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Can I just add I thought that sentence on the end of the Fonte article was really bizarre. Seconded. It NEVER appears on the OS first!
hypochondriac Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Seconded. It NEVER appears on the OS first! You know what I mean though. Whoever wrote it seems a bit paranoid.
Born In The 80s Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 If Ward doesn't come i won't lose too much sleep over it to be honest. He's a half decent player, but we already have too many centre backs as it is. Do we really need another one? Jiadi and Fonte, with Thomas and Perry as back ups. Very solid indeed, especially at this level.
saint_stevo Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 You know what I mean though. Whoever wrote it seems a bit paranoid. Yep. Wasnt particularly in keeping with the rest of the article was it
SNSUN Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Ward just scored for Sheffield United. :-D :EvilArgumentativeSmiley:
sotonjoe Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 All this to-ing and fro-ing, why doesn't somebody just bite the bullet and Facebook Ward?
SNSUN Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 I'm off to bed. The sooner I sleep, the sooner I wake up in the morning to find out he's signed.
saintmonkey1979 Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Acording to Rocket on 606, Ward has failed his medical. Make of that what you will.
saint_stevo Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 I'm off to bed. The sooner I sleep, the sooner I wake up in the morning to find out he's signed. Are you 12?
saint_stevo Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 From Tony, i mean rocketswanie- Ward has held Talks, basically from what I can gather its a straight choice between him and Sebourne, but were awaiting on Exeter and him to show their hand, they dismissed it then we said ok we'll grab Ward but then they came back with what they wanted and would accept to which we said we'd have to consider things again. The thing now is that were trying to offload Lancashire and Thomas on loan or fee, and if we can do that we will get both in which means Ward will sign. Its a huge merry-go-round but... The other thing I heard was that he has not passed the medical and SSN took this as a done deal BEFORE the medical, once we agreed the medical, but he failed it. confused.com YOU BET 606, because i got bored and made it up
Saint_clark Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 So basically we have Peaceys (supersaint84) dad to blame for Ward not signing?

Hopefully there will be a tweet tomorrow at 8ish saying signing announcement at 9am...
RedAndWhite91 Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 I'm off to bed. The sooner I sleep, the sooner I wake up in the morning to find out he's signed. Awwwwwwwwww!!!
saint_stevo Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 ward fell on the ice outside SMS and broke his ankle

saint_boysie Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 the skates are jammy jammy ba*tards! cant believe that!
dannysfc Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 the skates are jammy jammy ba*tards! cant believe that! Yeh I have just seen the score and tell me about it Mate but I still think that there going down to the Champ though so it is all Good ! COYR!
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Acording to Rocket on 606, Ward has failed his medical. Make of that what you will. Always been a reliable source that Rocket geezer.
Charlie2008 Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 the skates are jammy jammy ba*tards! cant believe that! Al lset for Saints vs. Poopey in the 5th round... Love it... :cool:
Alright Dave Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Yeh I have just seen the score and tell me about it Mate but I still think that there going down to the Champ though so it is all Good ! COYR! Lads look on the positive side. They were still ****in ****! Coventry an average at best championship team have taken them to a replay then extra time, no doubt knackering the pompey team for saturday. On top of that Pompey now have an additional cup game or two to play. I still think there going down and i can only see this cup run helping to put nails in their coffin! Financial gate receipts help for the extra cup games, but considering the **** poor turn out for both games i don' think they have gained alot from that.
Smirking_Saint Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 He has not had any recent injuries ?? Has this rocket swanie bloke ever been right ??
Matthew Le God Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Has this rocket swanie bloke ever been right ?? No.
Alright Dave Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 He has not had any recent injuries ?? Has this rocket swanie bloke ever been right ?? No!
krissyboy31 Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Has he appeared in the team profiles on the OS yet? No. 23?
