Jason Puncheon to Saints according to SSN

[yorkiesaint]

I', interested in whose leaking these stories to SSN. Is it some kind of gambit to force through the opuncheon deal?.

Danns and Puncheon are different types of players. I'd take both, but if we are going get rid of players lets ensure its Pulis and Molyneux.

or Saints....to get another player to drop their wage demands or another club to drop their transfer demands.....football clubs and agents work in mysterious ways!

and Stocks;)

I found it highly interesting how we arrived here tactically from the early days of 2-3-5. It's also interesting how we, at so many stages of development internationally, have doggedly been holding on to whatever we had at the time, thinking it was the "correct" way to play football. An up to date echo of that is Merrington's beliefs on Solent, which he clearly shares with many others both professionals and fans.

 

What brings progress is the opportunity to counter the oppositions attacking system and upsetting their ways of defending. This is where I'm struggling with the thought of hanging on to a straight forward 4-4-2. All opposition knows how to play it and how to defend against it, and even though we often have the better players we are brought down to the oppositions level of game, and then struggle either to score or to hang on to a lead.

 

I am not sure that AP is a tactical master, even though he appears to be a good motivator with a usually good nous for players to recruit. When it comes to tactics he hasn't, at least yet, designed a way to play which caters to our strengths and upsets the opposition.

 

That's where Puncheon comes in: Was signing a left winger the priority ahead of getting hold of a playmaking replacement for Wotton?

 

I don't think we play either 4-5-1 or 4-4-2 properly as we have no left sided outlet. Until we sort that out and get the balance right we just aren't going to play passing football.

 

The interesting thing is the way various teams use hybrid systems to suit the talents of the players, we don't do that either.

 

I think there is a priority for both but it is probably the availability factor and the plan for the summer. I'm sure if we want both that the club is now in a position to cover that especially with Saganowski gone.

Judging by their assistant manager's comments prior to & after our games with MK Dons this season they clearly have some sort of problem with Saints so wouldn't expect this deal to go through now if it's up to them. Will have to wait til the summer.

[surrey1saint]

On SSN news ticker again,saying Saints still in talks with Plymouth.

Saying on sky transfer watch that Puncheon is here having a medical.

[The Fat Controller]

17.27 Plymouth Argyle attacker Jason Puncheon is undergoing a medical at Southampton ahead of a permanent move to St Mary's. Puncheon is currently on loan at MK Dons, but is set to join their League One rivals

[Smirking_Saint]

Well i hope this is true guys, this is starting to drag longer than the rudi debarcle.

[saints_is_the_south]

Finger crossed!

Where did you get that from?,I should have read above post.....SSN!

Its on the sky sports transfer clockwatch

ah wonderful, a whole day of conjecture inc a done deal for danns and a cooling of interest in puncheon whilst he is taking his medical, lol, u couldn't make it up!!!!!!!!!

[Travelling Saint]

Maybe we'll get both?

[Appy]

Hopefully Sky have hit the nail on the head at last.

[S-Clarke]

would be brilliant if we did..

[Saint Fan CaM]

Unveiling at SMS tomorrow?? (Pleeeeze)

[Travelling Saint]

Fingers crossed

[Smirking_Saint]

That'll do, plus a holding midfielder and we will be fine

[Tac-tics]

Hopefully Sky have hit the nail on the head at last.

???

[Window Cleaner]

That'll do, plus a holding midfielder and we will be fine

 

doubt if there will be any more, this is probably the last signing of the window.

After that it'll be loans if necessary.

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

Perhaps the rumours of a new bid for Danns was a tactic to hurry the Puncheon deal along?

Interestingly, earlier on in today's clockwatch, it says that the Dons have extended Dean Morgan's deal and I'm pretty sure he's more of a winger than a striker...

[Pilchards]

Get this one in and plus one more if you can offload 3 players, then throw the bloody cheque book away and build for next season.

Get a right back in then unless Jon (whatever the name) is any good and watch us not only win the league by 13 points but another trip to wembley with a bloody good cup run where we could beat anyone.

After that we keep the team in the championship because stability will take us even further up the league.

[Charlie2008]

So is he signing then?

 

Reported as a done deal in yesterday's Herald!

 

:cool:

 

...mind you, not the most reliable of 'sauces'!

 

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

So Puncheon was having a medical at 5.27; it's now 9.37 and there's been no news (not even a tweet). Must be one thorough medical...

[Saint Charlie]

I think on a Friday the media staff are as keen to get home as anyone....

[Appy]

My thinking is that maybe they will reveal him as our new signing before the game tomorrow.

[itchen_dan]

Dont forget, Fonte was announced on a Saturday morning

 

I think the Saints Twitter may just announce something in the morning...

[saint-crinny]

Also saw on Sky's clockwatch that Bryan Hughes has terminated his contract at Hull today. I've always thought he was quite a classy midfielder and would do a job for us. Was also at Charlton at the same time as Pards so could be a link there. Apologies if this has been brought up elsewhere?

Getting on a bit though, 33/34. Definitely in the twilight of his career. Maybe CDAJFU in fairness to the bloke.

[thorpie the sinner]

So has the longest medical in history finished yet lol????

 

3 days to go until the window ends.......

 

Puncheon would be good, but would ideally prefer one of Stock/Danns as well, sets us up forthe summer perfectly then

If we get in Puncheon who is a winger I believe how are we going to play?

[Saint Fan CaM]

I think it was said that he can play a number positions. This seems to be a bit of a recurring theme for AP's players. So perhaps we'll see him at cm.

Could be a potental replacement for AL if he leaves in the summer.

I'd rather we got some specialists than 'jack of all trades'

[Newcastle U Lyme Saint]
