Minty Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 (edited) Apologies to JackanorySFC but felt it deserved a thread of it's own. Forte deal is almost signed, has been in the pipeline for ages apparently. How do I know this? I'm good mates with another player we have had a bid accepted for and he's mates with Forte (different club though). This player will be our biggest signing of January (unless we go crazy) and will cause a stir as people are expecting him to be signed by a prem club and go up a division rather than drop one. No, not saying who as he's a good mate and don't want to f*ck this up for him. Hopefully deal will be done in next 2/3 days. If admin want to email me and ask me I don't mind letting you know. What i will say is this player is massively impressed with Saints, both the Manager and the Owners, and we're getting a reputation amongst other clubs as the one with the most potential outside the premiership for the next 2/3 years, oh and we're known for having "loadsa money" too! Edit: For anyone hoping to know who it is, let me save you reading the thread and whining... the name is not yet revealed, nor indeed if it is true (with respect to JackanorySFC).

Toadhall Saint Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 Apologies to JackanorySFC but felt it deserved a thread of it's own. Is this on another thread then?
Minty Posted 8 January, 2010 Author Posted 8 January, 2010 Yes, the Fonte thread. http://saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=19155 post 13
hypochondriac Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 But it's being reported that fonte has turned us down.
JackanorySFC Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 FOA - Ponty, can't reply to your PM, drop me an email (should be on your contact details for me) and I'll happily answer your question to verify it.
Toadhall Saint Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 Yes, the Fonte thread. Cheers - Is Jackanory known for getting it right?
Minty Posted 8 January, 2010 Author Posted 8 January, 2010 But it's being reported that fonte has turned us down. Fair enough, this is about a different player...
hypochondriac Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 Fair enough, this is about a different player... I hope it's right. If you could verify it Minty that would be great.
hypochondriac Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 FOA - Ponty, can't reply to your PM, drop me an email (should be on your contact details for me) and I'll happily answer your question to verify it. What position does your friend play? And has he been mentioned on here before? I reckon that Doncaster bloke maybe.
Minty Posted 8 January, 2010 Author Posted 8 January, 2010 I hope it's right. If you could verify it Minty that would be great. Hey, I just copied and pasted it into a new thread! He quite clearly says he is mates with a DIFFERENT player who Saints have had a bid accepted for, who is MATES with Fonte.

He quite clearly says he is mates with a DIFFERENT player who Saints have had a bid accepted for, who is MATES with Fonte. Who is mates with Fonte and who also mates with JackanorySFC? If we can crack this link then the identity can be revealed and we can all have a party.
Minty Posted 8 January, 2010 Author Posted 8 January, 2010 Apologies I meant Ponty. I was referring to Jackanory's comment above. Ah yeah, gotcha.
saint_stevo Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 this guy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Forte
Glasgow_Saint Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 Brian Stock... ? Could be? He was at Bmth so might know jackanory. How would he be friends with jose fonte though?
JibMcdo Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 Could be? He was at Bmth so might know jackanory. How would he be friends with jose fonte though? Don't know but he would certainly be friends with Jonathan Forte, who he played with at Doncaster...
Glasgow_Saint Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 Don't know but he would certainly be friends with Jonathan Forte, who he played with at Doncaster... Case closed! Jonathan Forte is our man
SaintDonkey Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 Mates with Fonte? he's only been at Palace in the UK so I guess it has to be a Palace player. So a Palace linked with Premiership sides? Could this be the man to lead us to the promised land? edit: Cancel that - didn't register the differnet club bit
Scudamore Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 How would he be friends with jose fonte though? I'm good mates with another player we have had a bid accepted for and he's mates with Fonte He's never claimed to be friends with Fonte. He is friend with the other player. Who in turn is friends with Fonte.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 He's never claimed to be friends with Fonte. He is friend with the other player. Who in turn is friends with Fonte. Case re-opened!
Glasgow_Saint Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 So does Jackanory mean Forte, or Fonte? Good: Ask questions. Well done detective
saint_stevo Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 So does Jackanory mean Forte, or Fonte? we don't know. we also dont know whether he is friends with fonte/forte or if we are signing them
Scudamore Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 So does Jackanory mean Forte, or Fonte? Fonte. He obviously meant Fonte. Like people mean Svensson when they put Svennson.
John B Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 As posted before This seems to be the latest posted in last hour http://www.croydonguardian.co.uk/sport/eagleeye/4841007.Fonte_turns_down_Southampton_move/
dronskisaint Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 Am I the only one who doesn't have a clue where this is going? :-(
saint_stevo Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 Am I the only one who doesn't have a clue where this is going? :-( No...
thorpie the sinner Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 Apparently someone big and hairy has been spotted asking directions to staplewood!! It gets better...
Scudamore Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 freud disagrees Scu Freud was an utter pervert
JibMcdo Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 Fonte's only ever played for Crystal Palace and if this player is mates with him but from another club than it has to be a London club from The Championship. QPR or Watford? Or it could be a player that has left CP for another club since Fonte joined in 2007... Or it could be Stock and Forte! This is fun.
Minty Posted 8 January, 2010 Author Posted 8 January, 2010 Am I the only one who doesn't have a clue where this is going? :-( Quite simply, JackanorySFC is friends with another player (NOT Fonte) who Saints have had a bid accepted for, and who is hoping to complete the move to Saints in the next few days. This player is supposedly, in JackacnorySFC's view, a pretty big signing who has been looked at by Premiership clubs.
Smirking_Saint Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 So....what exactly is going on ?? I am assuming jackanory has used up his last post and has revealed, well, sod all ??
lettuce Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 I can't keep up with this... Forte, Fonte, Ponty, Minty... :smt100
Minty Posted 8 January, 2010 Author Posted 8 January, 2010 Fonte's only ever played for Crystal Palace and if this player is mates with him but from another club than it has to be a London club from The Championship. QPR or Watford? Or it could be a player that has left CP for another club since Fonte joined in 2007... Or it could be Stock and Forte! This is fun. Why do you think I started the thread?! Actually though, Fonte and this player could be friends for any number of reasons, like sharing an agent or other things not directly related to playing.
saint_stevo Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 i think jackanory was trying to change his Font to comic Sans
Smirking_Saint Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 Fonte is portuguese, so is ronaldo ?? Could it be him ?? Miguel Veluso ?? Moutinho ?? Dr Carvalho ??
Minty Posted 8 January, 2010 Author Posted 8 January, 2010 So....what exactly is going on ?? I am assuming jackanory has used up his last post and has revealed, well, sod all ?? He's revealed all he is prepared to reveal, which is fair enough. I believe he has emailed more info to Ponty who has told me that it seems credible. Now, the hard part is that people will have to show some patience to see who this is, and if it happens, which most people can't do, and don't like!
Scudamore Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 Why do you think I started the thread?!

Such as nobbing a WAG http://www.ok.co.uk/food/view/14883/Nicola-T-and-Cassie-Sumner/
Red Alert Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 Whilst not saying anything against the OP at all, i doubt the Fonte deal has been in the pipeline for long. We would at the very least have found out if we could offer enough wages, and if he would be willing to move to the area (the two things stated for this deal supposedly falling through).

I am sure Trousers is cross referencing IP addresses from his database as we speak...
