Minty Posted 8 January, 2010 Author Share Posted 8 January, 2010 That Minty is admitting defeat! I am sure Trousers is cross referencing IP addresses from his database as we speak... Lol, that's half the fun, watching some people start to froth at the mouth in a desperate attempt to get a name, position, inside leg measurement and make and model of car being driven...

John B Posted 8 January, 2010 Share 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 think Fonte was the First Choice CB as we have not made an official approach for Ward yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St_Tel49 Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 Apparently someone big and hairy has been spotted asking directions to staplewood!! It gets better... We're signing the Yeti!!!? Does he have a work permit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minty Posted 8 January, 2010 Author Share Posted 8 January, 2010 Oh god, not more 'in the know' crap, I thought that disappeared with the dark lord and LLS. You'll never stop it. You just have to learn who to trust and not to trust and make up your own mind about every rumour that comes forth. If someone is willing to make such predictions then their own credibility is on the line. Personally, the fact that JackanorySFC HASN'T revealed a name and has remained loyal to his friend gives me the impression that this is true. But each to their own.

SuperMikey Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 We're signing the Yeti!!!? Does he have a work permit? He doesn't need one as he's a european national. He's portugese. Personally I hope this rumour has some fact behind it, as my Palarse mate says that he's brilliant. He could certainly DAJFU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But equally i know how it feels to be on the recieving end, i think we went into admin at the right time, it's like a sweet shop out there for potential investors now and i seriously believe a big team will go completely bust.

StuRomseySaint Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 Brian Howard... how is he doing these days? Always rated him, and nice bloke to boot. I just made that name up. He has played one game for Sheff U this season and quite a few for Reading... as his appearance for Sheff was in the league cup, does the 3 team rule work? Wouldnt mind seeing him here... always good to have a Saints fan or three in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can all agree that site is a heap of poo!!! I only went on there to see who he had previously played for and it seems Palace and Benfica might be the only links to anyone who he may previously have played with, so i guess it could just be someone playing for another london club or and ex palace player?

Chez Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 (edited) lol, where did THAT come from?! They were both at Benfica and moved to the UK at roughly the same time. Actually I think Marco Júlio Castanheira Afonso Alves Ferreira is no longer at Leicester, so it won't be him.

Chin Strain Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 (edited) 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. Darren Ambrose.

Matthew Le God Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 It's Rui Fonte... his brother... His brother already plays in the top flight in Portugal which rules him out. The OP states that the mystery player isn't currently in the top flight and clubs are looking to make him go up a division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted 8 January, 2010 Author Share Posted 8 January, 2010 The OP states that the mystery player isn't currently in the top flight and clubs are looking to make him go up a division. Indeed. A Championship player being touted to move to the Prem. Probably quite a few of those though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergie Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 just spoke to a friend whose a palace fans and knows a lot of palace players very well....says, and i quote "all my boys at palace know something is going on with him, he's defo gonna move but not sure if he's drop a division though. And yeah they are aware saints are a rich and wealthy club these days!" Maybe he'll think about a pay rise and the possibility to just be playing league 1 football for 3-4 months max??
