The9 Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 Indeed. A Championship player being touted to move to the Prem. Probably quite a few of those though. My favourite thing about this thread is that no-one mentioned so far has even met the extremely broad criteria that JackanorySFC has given. There are not THAT many CCC players currently being linked to Prem teams, and even if there were, we could probably pare them down from "knowing Fonte". But my God this thread makes some people look incapable of reading. To re-re-visit the original message (with amendment to Fonte typo), the clues in bold and the conclusions in red: Fonte deal is almost signed. How do I know this? I'm good mates with another player we have had a bid accepted for and he's mates with Fonte (different club though). Not a Palace player, mates with Fonte. This player will be our biggest signing of January 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. Big signing for a L1 team so presumably reasonably well-known, Expected to sign for Prem team and definitely currently CCC Can we try and at least suggest players who meet these criteria ?

JRM Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 I know Jackanory, I know he knows this player, that much I can confirm. Whether he will end up moving here is completely uncertain as clubs always have to negotiate and if other teams also bid at the last minute things can change so no point speculating really. Do you remember when saints always used to miss out on players we wanted and Lowe would always blame it on other clubs "being alerted to the players availablilty" by the press coverage!

Not enough poo in the garden. I just FB searched on Jose Fonte, 3 results - 1 is a fan page (12 Palace fans on it...), one's someone with 6 Portuguese-sounding mostly female friends and the other is extremely restricted and has no picture - which could feasibly be him but is of no use to anyone who isn't already on his friends list... ...mind you if Rickie Lambert added Pat from Poole there's hope for us all.

up and away Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 I know Jackanory, I know he knows this player, that much I can confirm. Whether he will end up moving here is completely uncertain as clubs always have to negotiate and if other teams also bid at the last minute things can change so no point speculating really. Do you remember when saints always used to miss out on players we wanted and Lowe would always blame it on other clubs "being alerted to the players availablilty" by the press coverage! Nope, don't remember that at all. What I do remember is that we never commented on a player signed to another club! I have no reason to disbelieve any of this, but it does show the problems we have in trying to sign any good players in the January window. Those good enough for the CCC will be looking at Saints being in League 1 next season, so you can understand them being tentative. I think the best we can hope for is decent loans, with an option on both sides if we fail to get promotion or the player does not perform. The only problem with that being we may have to wait towards the end of the window for availability. Looking at the targets, this is a massive statement of intent from Cortese, one I never thought they would adopt and really does put us as the ManC of league 1. A lot of the players we have bought / looking to buy I doubt would be suitable to gain promotin from the CCC, so you would tend to end up with a massive squad going this way. Cortese is very serious in trying to get out of this league immediately and that is going to bring pressure to bear on Pardew. The big freeze may actually work to our advantage, such we do have the squad to compete when the games come round. But we must get the players in soon or it could very easily all be too much for us.

CWD Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 I think it could be whittingham.

Chopra especially isn't going anywhere, only (re-)arrived in August. If we signed Adam Johnson I'd be delirious, he's like Adam Hammill except he can play football.

NickG Posted 8 January, 2010 Share Posted 8 January, 2010 No mate, has a regular column in The Sunday Times (ironically to alot of people on here he always slates Mail and Telegraph readers in it) - does a new car review every week (quality, NO other newspaper allows a columnist to openly pan new cars, everyone else panders to advertisers) and a lifestyle piece where he rants about chavs or takes the **** about someone or other (his piece a few weeks ago about Ex-Pats was awesone). Not sure about the Sun, think he's still in there on a Saturday, only read it during the week. Not had a season ticket in the past 5 years, nows the time to put up or shut up though and i'll be persuading a few mates to join me into getting ST's. Personally need to get 9 tickets. (to Leeds away) clues all there - wanted 9 tickets for leeds game -so go and watch mate play??!!
