revolution saint Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 If true this would be a fantastic signing !!!!!! Though if MK's had the choice of whether or not to rip his contract up why would they ?? Strange situation if true and i am not entirely convinced yet (but v v excited) Still think we need a CM/DM still imo Frankly if the player is only on loan and says he's got a shot at a permanent deal and wants to go then MK Dons realistically can't stand in his way. Technically of course they could but they'd be left with a player who would resent the club and really wouldn't want to be there. The only way to recover the situation for them is to offer a permanent deal to Puncheon and if they can do that then fair play to them. Personally I think a left sided midfielder / winger is what we need. It frees up lallana, who I don't think is best on the wing and gives us more of a chance to deliver better crosses. Let's face it if you've got Lambert and Barnard up front then you want to provide as many quality chances as you can.
Smirking_Saint Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Twitter and OS still very quiet, the twitter bloke was slagging SSN off by now about the Ward deal.
Tractor_Saint Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 (edited) We won't get him unless Ince agrees to tear up the loan deal papers... Tis on the Saints Twitter http://twitter.com/southamptonfc http://twitter.com/officialsaints and it's not on there at the moment> Edited 27 January, 2010 by Tractor_Saint

Saints67 Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 A midfield duo of Puncheon & Hammond would be superb. I'll believe it when I see it on the OS though. SSN got the ward deal wrong.
itchen_dan Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Tis on the Saints Twitter http://twitter.com/southamptonfc Not the official one twitter.com/officialsaints
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 A midfield duo of Puncheon & Hammond would be superb. I'll believe it when I see it on the OS though. SSN got the ward deal wrong. you reckon he'd play in the middle?
Matthew Le God Posted 27 January, 2010 Author Posted 27 January, 2010 Just about a done deal then - sweet! That twitter he linked to is not the clubs twitter. This is the clubs twitter... http://twitter.com/officialsaints

Smirking_Saint Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 A midfield duo of Puncheon & Hammond would be superb. I'll believe it when I see it on the OS though. SSN got the ward deal wrong. Don't rate Hammond, i feel we have better at the club, plus i'd like puncheon on the left
StD Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 That twitter he linked to is not the clubs twitter. This is the clubs twitter... http://twitter.com/officialsaints Thanks - I got done!
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Don't rate Hammond, i feel we have better at the club, plus i'd like puncheon on the left Disagree about Hammond. I think we're really missing him at the moment.
thorpie the sinner Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 This doesn't look anything like a done deal!! Agreed a fee doesn't mean much in this day and age!!
Mr X Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 we're the only club to agree a fee with plymouth. which means diddly squat till hes signed on the dotted line
Smirking_Saint Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Disagree about Hammond. I think we're really missing him at the moment. We looked ok with James in there, i rate james and spiderman above him tbh. But then anyone but wooden.
Red Alert Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Hhhmmm, I wonder where this has come from? Great if true, but MKD not going to be too keen on letting him go. Maybe we could give them a 1 goal head start in the JPT next leg.
Miltonaggro Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Highly rated by none other than the scarecrow: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2007/jan/16/barnet Sounds like just what we need to spark the midfield, him and Papa Shango comin' at ya...
Tractor_Saint Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Not Official Saints though! Yet!! Doh - soz to all, google is not your friend Didn't realise that wasn't the official twitter - will edit the post now
krissyboy31 Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 This doesn't look anything like a done deal!! Agreed a fee doesn't mean much in this day and age!! It says "agreed a deal" not just "a fee", which suggests that other benefits (to Plymouth and maybe MKD) have been discussed/sorted.
Katalinic Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Don't rate Hammond, i feel we have better at the club, Who do you feel is better out of interest? I can't see that the likes Wotton, Gillet or James are better than Hammond. Spiderman? A matter of debate, but I don't think a combination of any of these are particularly effective. If Puncheon is a more of a winger then I still think we lack someone in the middle of the park to play with either Hammond or Spiderman on a regular basis.
saint_stevo Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Pretty sure Puncheon played CM against us in the tin pot trophy?
Glasgow_Saint Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12874_5889206,00.html
Leslie Charteris Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 This is now on his Wikipedia page "According to Sky Sports' sources on 26th January Plymouth FC had accepted a bid from Southampton for an undisclosed fee" Surely the undisclosed fee bit means it's a done deal...
krissyboy31 Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Pretty sure Puncheon played CM against us in the tin pot trophy? I think he was floating left side of a 5 man midfield, similar to how Lallana plays for us in a 5 (only with more pace).
Glasgow_Saint Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 An "ITK" Plymouth fan says deal agreed at 1 million.
derry Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 This is now on his Wikipedia page "According to Sky Sports' sources on 26th January Plymouth FC had accepted a bid from Southampton for an undisclosed fee" Surely the undisclosed fee bit means it's a done deal... I would be very surprised with any loan agreement if there isn't a clause covering the situation of the players home club wanting to transfer the player permanently.
Deanovski Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 An "ITK" Plymouth fan says deal agreed at 1 million. jeez
St Chalet Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Would have thought this could be an issue: "Though the Pilgrims have concurred on terms with Southampton, it is thought MK Dons would also have to agree to rip up the current loan arrangement."
Dr Who? Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 I have a feeling that the MK Dons could be the problem here. I hope not, but another million in league 1, that is big big money we are spending out!
Ponty Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 It's not a done deal until it's a sticky at the top of the page

If Puncheon is a more of a winger then I still think we lack someone in the middle of the park to play with either Hammond or Spiderman on a regular basis. I don't know, i suppose i did jump the gun a little. Personally i think spiderman is a better player and james will be a better prospect. Wotton as terrible as he is seems to be a destructive enough playing DM in a 3 man midfield but hopeless in a two man. IMO we could do with an extra DM. Hammond hasn't impressed up to his name and hype when he joined.
krissyboy31 Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Is he cup tied (FA that is)? ? Yes. And JPT funnily enough!
doddisalegend Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Excellent winger. We need this CM though Lallana moving into midfield ? Puncheon on the wing. Lallana has never struck me as a winger. I assume it will be Antonio and Puncheon on the wings from now on. will this mean an end to Holmes short revival in the saints team?
Crab Lungs Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 So we won't pay £800,000 for Stock but we'll pay £1m for Puncheon. :-o
Saint Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 I'm confused as to how cup tieing works. How come Fonte, Seabourne and Ostemobor were all cup tied for Ipswich but Barnard wasn't? Even though he only signed the day before.
markr27 Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Jason Puncheon - Southampton's new Number 4 or 41? He'd certainly give us pace down the left hand side of the midfield very nicely. Won't believe it completely until its confirmed officially
krissyboy31 Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 I'm confused as to how cup tieing works. How come Fonte, Seabourne and Ostemobor were all cup tied for Ipswich but Barnard wasn't? Even though he only signed the day before. They all played for their previous clubs except Barnard who was suspended for Southend's only FA Cup tie.

Even though he only signed the day before. I'm not sure where the complication is Barnard hadn't played in the fa cup this year therefor not cup tied....

Even though he only signed the day before. Cos Barnard was injured when Southend played in the FA Cup. You have to actually play to be c.t'd

Even though he only signed the day before. IIRC 'Cup-Tied' is when a player has already played in the same competition for a different side. Hence, Fonte hadn't playing in the JPT as he hadn't played in that comp but couldn't play in the FA Cup as he'd already represented his previous team. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup-tied >
Glasgow_Saint Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 So we won't pay £800,000 for Stock but we'll pay £1m for Puncheon. :-o Seems odd - wouldnt say we need more wingers, while Lallana, Waigo, Antonio and Holmes are here?
Ponty Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 The whole "Cup tied" thing is bloody stupid anyway.
Chez Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 So we won't pay £800,000 for Stock but we'll pay £1m for Puncheon. :-o firstly Stock is out of contract in the summer so to pay £800,000 for him now is extravagent. As for Puncheon, he signed for £250,000 and failed to shine at CCC level so a million sounds a shed lot to me despite him having a decent season so far.
