NickG Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Afternoon. Just sent a cheeky little text. Obviously owe a big apology, informed my *source* we signed another CB and I can not see Ward happening. The phone call ended with; "all seriousness, Ward has signed" Not to confident after todays movement, still being told but will have to wait and see :confused:
Tac-tics Posted 13 January, 2010 Author Posted 13 January, 2010 I sent a text in which he rang me.HTH
hypochondriac Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 I sent a text in which he rang me.HTH Pardon?
NickG Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 will give Ward until 2pm to sign, if not I am bored and he can forget it!
Tac-tics Posted 13 January, 2010 Author Posted 13 January, 2010 Pardon? so did you have a text conversation or a phone conversation? I sent matey a text then he rang me. As I seemed a little ****ed in the text apparently...
saints_is_the_south Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 will give Ward until 2pm to sign, if not I am bored and he can forget it! Is that an ultimatum to Ward pards?
NickG Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 once mentioned on here, players should have 48 hours to sign and be announced or banned from SFC! These imminent threads are good for us with no patience!
Spades Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 I sent matey a text then he rang me. As I seemed a little ****ed in the text apparently... fair enough. I wasnt trying to be rude just didnt fully understand what you meant. Keep up the updates
Phil the Saint Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Maybe the Ward signing is being saved to announce with another one - a big suprise double signing........................ nothing to base this on though.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Erm. Yes he was. Troy Archibald Henville was far worse.
Smirking_Saint Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 this makes no sense, pardew said he wanted 2 new signings, one midfielder and one other ?? (after fonte deal) so surely we are just waiting on stocky ?? Unless they got a good deal on DS ? Hopefully pardew is tugging our chain and we have another 6 signings to push through ?
Chez Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 this makes no sense, pardew said he wanted 2 new signings, one midfielder and one other ?? (after fonte deal) so surely we are just waiting on stocky ?? Unless they got a good deal on DS ? Hopefully pardew is tugging our chain and we have another 6 signings to push through ? maybe we have mroe than one target for each of the positions thathe has highlighted. Makes total sense to not put all of your eggs into one basket - perhaps that was Burley's method - so Ward or Seaborne, Danns or Stock etc. Or as you have put it we are signing shed loads of players. Wonder when some will go out the door? I'd prefer us not to go back to the days of hoarding lots of **** players in squads of 40.
JustMike Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Erm. Yes he was. sorry, but i dont agree. Plus he is only 22 so im prepared to see how he plays over a longer period, as in more than just 1 game.
Chez Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Maybe the Ward signing is being saved to announce with another one - a big suprise double signing........................ nothing to base this on though. maybe as he is out of contract in the summer we are waiting till then so as to get him for free?
hypochondriac Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 sorry, but i dont agree. Plus he is only 22 so im prepared to see how he plays over a longer period, as in more than just 1 game. As am I. He will still rubbish in that game. Do you not agree that he was rubbish?

Wonder when some will go out the door? I'd prefer us not to go back to the days of hoarding lots of **** players in squads of 40. my biggest worry Chez. Its not just the wages either. They, the ones who have no chance of playing are demotivated and can bring a bad feeling to the over all squad.
Scudamore Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 As am I. He will still rubbish in that game. Do you not agree that he was rubbish? I think we were pretty rubbish that day... - Putting a positive spin on that it was because the mighty Seaborne contained us - Putting a negative spin on it we were rubbish and still scored 3 against that plum Seaborne It's a bit of both is the reality...

I'm not saying he is rubbish, just that IMO (and having just looked, the opinion of Exeter fans) he was rubbish that day.
dannysfc Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 The picture I saw of him which one of our fellow forum members put up made me think that Seaborne is quite a tall quite chunky defender like Jaidi which is Good in a way and it will be interesting to see how he does in the first few games as well ! COYR!

dannysfc Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 ben this is the elliot ward page dear boy! Yeh thanks Mate but although I was going to add that whether Elliot Ward was still coming or is it all over and that he is not coming now seeing as we have just signed Seaborne?!
trousers Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 I don't login for a day or so and a thread about a player we haven't signed is 18 pages long....how did that happen?
Colinjb Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 I don't login for a day or so and a thread about a player we haven't signed is 18 pages long....how did that happen? Well, considering a Skate thread can go on for months and last well over 100 pages, really easily!
krissyboy31 Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 I don't login for a day or so and a thread about a player we haven't signed is 18 pages long....how did that happen? That'll teach ya!!
JustMike Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 As am I. He will still rubbish in that game. Do you not agree that he was rubbish? lol everyone was rubbish that day! even us fans. rubbish i tell you
SNSUN Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 I don't login for a day or so and a thread about a player we haven't signed is 18 pages long....how did that happen? Sky Sports were being horribly cruel. Must've been a Skate trying to wind us up. :-)
hypochondriac Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 lol everyone was rubbish that day! even us fans. rubbish i tell you Yeah it was a crap game all around I agree.
trousers Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Sky Sports were being horribly cruel. Must've been a Skate trying to wind us up. :-) Cheers - is there anyone else we haven't signed that I should know about?
dubai_phil Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Cheers - is there anyone else we haven't signed that I should know about? Carsten Jancker Rudi Skacel
SNSUN Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Cheers - is there anyone else we haven't signed that I should know about? Pulis signed a 4 year contract extension.
(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Carsten Jancker Rudi Skacel Di Pedro Hicham Aboucharani (spelling?)
the saint in winchester Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Cheers - is there anyone else we haven't signed that I should know about? Gerrard and Rooney were mentioned as possible signings. Seriously! Cousin and brother of the famous ones, sadly. :-(
Master Bates Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Ward agreed a deal with Saints, Ward said goodbye to his Coventry team mates and was at the point where he was awaiting instructions on where to join up with his new team mates (Saints), then he was told the deal was off after Nicola Cortese backed out on Ward's proposed move at the eleventh hour. Todays Echo.
St.Patrik Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Thaks for the update MB - did it say why in the Echo ?
Gravesend Saint Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Ward agreed a deal with Saints, Ward said goodbye to his Coventry team mates and was at the point where he was awaiting instructions on where to join up with his new team mates (Saints), then he was told the deal was off after Nicola Cortese backed out on Ward's proposed move at the eleventh hour.

Master Bates Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Thaks for the update MB - did it say why in the Echo ? No but get the gist that Seabourne was preffered over Ward. "However, rather than Ward, Saints instead announced the capture of Exeter City centre back Dan Seaborne yesterday morning............... ...........Saints would not comment on where they were with a deal for Ward".
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Also see here: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/coventry-city-fc/coventry-city-fc-news/2010/01/14/elliott-ward-move-to-southampton-collapses-92746-25599126/ As it says here, Seaborne would certainly be on lower wages. Perhaps Pardew chose him over Ward so that he could sign another player on higher wages?
thorpie the sinner Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Still trust the powers that be and still think we will sign Ward!
thornhill_saints Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/coventry-city-fc/coventry-city-fc-news/2010/01/14/elliott-ward-move-to-southampton-collapses-92746-25599126/

thornhill_saints Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Elliott Ward move to Southampton collapses http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/coventry-city-fc/coventry-city-fc-news/2010/01/14/elliott-ward-move-to-southampton-collapses-92746-25599126/
Wildgoose Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 As it says here' date=' Seaborne would certainly be on lower wages. Perhaps Pardew chose him over Ward so that he could sign another player on higher wages?[/quote'] Those were my thoughts too.....seems very strange to have allowed it to go that far before pulling out though! On the face if it doesn't seem we handled it well.
modern matron Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 As it says here' date=' Seaborne would certainly be on lower wages. Perhaps Pardew chose him over Ward so that he could sign another player on higher wages?[/quote'] An explanation from Pardew would be good.....
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Still trust the powers that be and still think we will sign Ward! I'd be very surprised if we did. Pleased, but surprised. Seems like we made an offer for Seaborne, Exeter said no so we went for Ward, then just as Ward was about to sign, Exeter came back and said we had ourselves a deal.
thefuriousb Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 "Never wrong" Skysports were then, and Saints Twitter correct?
