RedAndWhite91 Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 I have to laugh at how a while back a few posters made comments about how Sol Campbell wouldn't be a worthwhile signing when he was available on a free. Started tonight for Arsenal in the Prem. Yep, he would have been a terrible acquisition.
ottery st mary Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Sols wages would have been a major no no for the Saints....30/40/50 grand etc a week plus his beauty oils and stuff. Or are they called image make up nowadays..
SuperMikey Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 I have to laugh at how a while back a few posters made comments about how Sol Campbell wouldn't be a worthwhile signing when he was available on a free. Started tonight for Arsenal in the Prem. Yep, he would have been a terrible acquisition. Judging by his performance against Stoke the other night he's far from his best at Prem level though. From the highlights it seemed as if he just couldn't cope with Fuller, and he's the kind of player that Sol would've had in his pocket 4 or 5 years ago. I think that he'll retire when his contract with Arsenal runs out (is it at the end of the season?).

NickG Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Puncheon's a top player at this level. If we ever lost Lallana, i'd sign him in a heartbeat as his replacement. Good from set pieces too. I think we'd have a chance of getting him unless MK Don's get promoted this season. issue at the moment though is that Mk Don's paid a loan fee to have him for the season - which is why i don't think we'll see any movement until the summer. Although FC Twente are sniffing around him i heard. Puncheon was best player on the park for MK. Yes please lets hope so!
RedAndWhite91 Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Fair enough, I stand corrected. And I didn't think about his wages either... I still reckon he would be able to do a job in League One though.
sad saints fan Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Southampton are in transfer talks with Falkirk after increasing their offer for Bairns midfielder Scott Arfield by a third to £400,000 rising to £1m with add-ons, but Preston and Huddersfield are also interested. (Daily Express) From bbc gossip
Matthew Le God Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Pardew has confirmed on the Stockport pre match interview that Puncheon is one of 3 or 4 players his is after

Matthew Le God Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 (edited) He won't get them all. Some are backups if others fall through. "Sounds" like Puncheon is first choice. Edited 28 January, 2010 by Matthew Le God
markr27 Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 (edited) One assumes he's looking at bringing in at most two more then (Puncheon/Danns and/or Stock/Arfield? Edited 28 January, 2010 by markr27 speeling
joffystevens Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 puncheon would be awesome signing, he's an out and out winger, his crossing will be better than lallana, waigo and james!!
SuperSAINT Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Adam Johnson wants to talk to Man City.... Wonder if Boro will come calling for Lallana as his replacement?
S-Clarke Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Adam Johnson wants to talk to Man City.... Wonder if Boro will come calling for Lallana as his replacement? they can call as much as they like, but we won't answer
SuperSAINT Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 they can call as much as they like, but we won't answer Nice to have some financial security isn't it?
S-Clarke Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Nice to have some financial security isn't it? makes a big big change, don't think there is another club outside the PL who could just say ''no'' to any bids.
polegategavin Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 makes a big big change, don't think there is another club outside the PL who could just say ''no'' to any bids. QPR perhaps?!?!
Matthew Le God Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 QPR perhaps?!?! Nope, they may have rich owners but they aren't investing much cash. Just sacking managers. Plus they have sold some good players as well.
SFC Forever Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 We have an owner that has allowed our manager to increase a squad which was already far to big when he arrived. His words not mine. He does buy the odd good player at this level but also some very odd signings have arrived as well. My doubts now are as to whether he actually knows his best team. RB still seems to be a big problem as is our midfield.

RB still seems to be a big problem as is our midfield. This whole best team arguement is very old fashioned. Alex Ferguson hasn't named the same side for over 100 games, it's all about picking the best player for the game at hand. Do agree that the squad is far too big but on the other hand, we aren't going to be able to sell Molyneux, Pulis or Forecast amongst others and there's no point giving away players like Gillett, Gobern, Holmes, Thomson etc for peanuts they might be needed at some point. The problem with our midfield is that when we play 4-4-2 we bypass it completely and they don't get a look in...
St.Patrik Posted 29 January, 2010 Posted 29 January, 2010 http://www.torquayunited.com/page/News/0,,10445~1948671,00.html One more gone on loan then.
yorkie Posted 29 January, 2010 Posted 29 January, 2010 What's the latest on Danns & Stock? Surely it can't have all gone wrong - after all Palace are in Administration and would need the dosh? According to Donnie site O'Driscoll & Stock had MEGA fall out over the proposed move to Saints... What next?

Appy Posted 29 January, 2010 Posted 29 January, 2010 Mcsheffery has just gone to Leeds on loan until the end of the season.
Chez Posted 29 January, 2010 Author Posted 29 January, 2010 Mcsheffery has just gone to Leeds on loan until the end of the season. blimey. If he can find the form (and confidence) of three seasons ago that will be some signing. They have some proper players there in Snodgrass, Beckford, Kilkenny and Kisnorbo. Despite that they still shipped three at Swindon. Says something about the top six or seven sides in this league.

saint-crinny Posted 29 January, 2010 Posted 29 January, 2010 Saw on Sky's clockwatch that Bryan Hughes has terminated his contract at Hull today. I've always thought he was quite a classy midfielder and would do a job for us in league one. Was also at Charlton at the same time as Pards so could be a link there. Apologies if this has been brought up elsewhere?

Apologies if this has been brought up elsewhere? very decent footballer. He was great at Brum. Not the `midfield general' people talk about on here though, and can drift in and out of games. Does offer that touch of quality on the ball. Wages would be an issue I feel.
SAR Boy Saint Posted 30 January, 2010 Posted 30 January, 2010 Pardew has said no more signings. Just a ploy to stop us bleating on about things on here.........then surprise us all on Monday afternoon!!
Matthew Le God Posted 30 January, 2010 Posted 30 January, 2010 Pardew has said no more signings. No he didn't, I just watched it on Saints player and he skips round the question to talk about not having to sell any players instead.
Avenue Saint Posted 30 January, 2010 Posted 30 January, 2010 No he didn't, I just watched it on Saints player and he skips round the question to talk about not having to sell any players instead. hmmm saw that too. u could be right my mucka!
NickG Posted 30 January, 2010 Posted 30 January, 2010 Pardew "We are now finished for this second half of the season in terms of transfers, and this team now will have to see how far it can go in terms of getting us as close to the play-offs as possible, possibly winning the Johnstone's Paint Trophy and progressing in the FA Cup."
SFC Forever Posted 30 January, 2010 Posted 30 January, 2010 So we will all be welcoming Danns monday then.

What if Donny make a last day offer for Gillett?
