NickG Posted 13 January, 2010 Share 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickG Posted 13 January, 2010 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil the Saint Posted 13 January, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 13 January, 2010 Share 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 ?

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMike Posted 13 January, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They, the ones who have no chance of playing are demotivated and can bring a bad feeling to the over all squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannysfc Posted 13 January, 2010 Share 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 !

Master Bates Posted 14 January, 2010 Share 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 Share 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.

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 14 January, 2010 Share 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.
