Fergie Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 Had a random thought this morning...Fabian Delph!? Hasn't done anything at all at Villa other than a couple appearances and playing in their reserves. Might not be a permanent one but on loan perhaps!? He did say 'a player not doing so well elsewhere' or something along those lines, and Delph fits perfect! And do say he wouldn't come to us because i think were proving just about any on in the CCC would sign for us right now. "the saints are going up, the saints are going up, iiii oooo away we go...."
Thedelldays Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 delph is probably coming along nicely at villa
saints-cris Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 I really couldn't see that, bu only on the basis he's only recently gone there. Fits the bill for Ward perhaps ?
John B Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 Toadhall Saint said: I'm thinking Ward. Especially as Pardew knows him and may have had conversations with him and would know Ward's situation
iansums Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 I'm sure from what he said the player is Elliot Ward.
instinct Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 I think its got to be Ward or Pericard, more likely Ward as Pericard has been doing ok
Fergie Posted 10 January, 2010 Author Posted 10 January, 2010 Yeah i guess so. Ward is the likely candidate for sure. Maybe i was still in dreaming this morning when i thought that then!?
Weston Saint Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 We might be able to sign players from the CCC with Premier capabilities but unlikely to make enquiries for any players already signed for Premier sides. That will come when we are in the CCC. Would think the player is Elliott Ward who did not even make the bench for Coventry yesterday and Coventry have already confirmed on Friday we have made an approach but no firm bid at that stage.
Fergie Posted 10 January, 2010 Author Posted 10 January, 2010 Or, just on another note, was chatting to a mate about this desperately trying to think of good players it could be...and maybe David Healy??? getting on a little now (in footballing terms), will wants regular football, just a possibility!? We defo need a nother striker and pards knows this. why buy another centre-back when we got jaidi, fonte, thomas and perry who all cut it in this league. Think the money could be spent else where to score more goals...

OK, obviously Ward then...so what happens to Jaidi on obviously big wages!??
Stepgar Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 I seem to missing something I know we have signed Fonte but have we bid for someone else?

Crowds Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 Got to be ward out of contract end of season and not playing should get him for peanuts.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 I really do not think it's Ward for one reason - we don't need another CB at this level and AP said nothing on Solent that indicated we were in for another CB. I reckon the Ward interest was in case they didn't get the Fonte deal sorted. Who else it might be I have no idea (apart from Stock? He has been injured and therefore not featured so much).
JibMcdo Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 Scott Arfield imo. Extracts taken from 606 - http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A61581008 "If Southampton come back with 500k then will the board look at it given the way he has been playing this season?" "Disappointing form this season, few goals....his value has reduced quite a bit. I think it was realistic to expect £800k for him in the close season but not now." "If Southampton were to come in for Arfield for arounf 4-500k I think the club should accept it. I think based on his performances this season his development is slowing down playing in Scotland and it would be a good deal for the club." "He was brilliant when he first burst onto the scene but then the quality of players we had then were better than what we have now, that said he got into double figures goal wise last year in a struggling team although most of them were penalties, he has been very disappointing this year, he has gone stale or he may just be believing his own hype, either way i think he would benefit from a move, his form a few season's back would probably have cost you 750k-1m but i think you could get him for 500k now." And we are linked with him here - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/8447755.stm "Southampton have made a £300,000 offer to Falkirk for midfielder Scott Arfield. (The Sun)" Or it could be Ward...
Huffton Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 Berbatov seems a bit out of favour at the moment?

Crowds Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 Docker Walker6 said: Joey Barton anyone? Would take him in a heart beat
david in sweden Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 Chez said: Pericard has been doing well at Carlise - so much so that they offered him a new deal, so it can't be him. It's Ward. I think it is Ward, same wording used by Coleman and Pardew, and Pericard is on a loan deal that runs out next week, so he's free to move then, and Carlisle are unable to keep him.
Ashley Grute Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 Reo- Coker on loan is my guess! Sounds way too big, but Pards is aiming high! He is out of favour at AV, only played 8 games this season and Pards has already enquired about him!
Clifford Nelson Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 (edited) It clearly must have been Ward. The only question is whether we were seriously after both him and Fonte, or if he was back-up in case Fonte turned us down. I'm leaning towards us wanting both. Ward will be gone in the summer on a free, so why not get him now on a nominal fee. He'll soon be able to sign a pre-contract agreement anyway. Thomas is unfancied and I can't see Perry given another contract. That leaves us with only Jaidi in the summer, unless we count Ollie Lancashire. To compete in the CCC we need three good centrebacks for next season. Edited 10 January, 2010 by Clifford Nelson

mattbrennan Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 Could he be talking about Simeon Jackson, his form has certainly dipped since the first six games.

Ponty Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 I used to hate seeing McSheffrey line up against us.

Arizona Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 Van Nistelrooy is out of favour and Real Madrid are looking to offload. We could do with another striker so fits the bill.

ottery st mary Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 (edited) If he has no relatives running pubs in Southampton. If he is not on Twitter or facebook and he did not play in the Tyro League or go to Wyvern or Wildern schools... Can't see Pards having any real interest myself. Is he a friend of Beatties by chance......Rumours...Fleetwood Mac if I am not mistaken. Sorry McSheffery who? Edited 10 January, 2010 by ottery st mary
Hopkins Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 jimmysaint7 said: just seen this on text.he would be an absolute quality signing.better than any name mentioned so far on here Joey Barton is a better man than McSheffrey. Fact.
Ponty Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 Hopkins said: Joey Barton is a better man than McSheffrey. Fact. A "better man"? A better footballer, possibly, but, unless McSheffrey has actually murdered someone, not a better man.
SaintRobbie Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 Could be anyone to be honest! A player not doing as well as he could be... could be any player not on the bench and/or playing regularly at CCC or Premiership level. Nice to see our signings and targets are Prem/CCC players though. A refreshing air of ambition is back in this club. This club is back.
opthomps Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 Can people stop defending or linking us with the likes of Ben Thatcher or Joey Barton. I agree with the Alan Partridge quote above. Scum.. Subhuman scum. The mystery man sounds like Elliott to me, although that's common knowledge, so it could be someone else i guess.
HK_Phoey Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 Am I the only one thinking Gareth Bale, he aint getting many games
CanadaSaint Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 Given that much has been made of Herr Liebherr's spirituality, which Cortese and Pardew will certainly know about, I suspect that I have more chance of being signed for the promotion push than Ben Thatcher or Joey Barton.
doggface Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 There are tons of players out of form and out of favour. In this case the clear favorite would be ward
