Chez Posted 14 July, 2010 Share Posted 14 July, 2010 Beattie is NOT coming back, he has a choice to join a london club or one closer to his Blackburn home area. However he would love to come back but not in this league and plus we can't afford him although he has about 5 mill in the bank. How do I know? Almost from the horses mouth himself. Move on please......!! he might be joining Blackpool then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_lambden Posted 14 July, 2010 Share Posted 14 July, 2010 Info from the ITK player last night: Waigo watched the FC Thun game and is sticking around for a few days in Switzerland with his old team-mates , but surely he wouldn't go all the way out there just to watch the games - would he? Maybe he might thrash out a deal? Could Waigo return?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 14 July, 2010 Share Posted 14 July, 2010 Sounds promising Lambden, would love to have him back with us as I think he'll only improve as we go up the leagues. Nice to have a proper ITK for once on this forum, so thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_lambden Posted 14 July, 2010 Share Posted 14 July, 2010 So saint lambden let me get this straight, your player contact has called you from Switzerland to tell you this?! No - the "ITK player" texted the moderator of the 1976 forums last night about it and I'm just passing it on. Has Saint Lambden been correct about anything yet? Seeing as there has only been one transfer since I started posting the information and that was Richardson , one which everyone was surprised about , I wouldn't criticise. As I have said before - this is as close to the deals as you can get without actually getting it from AP or Cortese. Not once have I said any deal is a certainty, just that we are in talks with these certain players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 14 July, 2010 Share Posted 14 July, 2010 Here's a thought - what about Paul Hartley from Bristol City? He's been told that he can leave and was left out of their pre-season tour so looks as if he's available. He's a good ball-winning midfielder and scored some cracking goals last season for BrizzleC, CHDAJFU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather Posted 15 July, 2010 Share Posted 15 July, 2010 I think Pardew will use Harding as cover for the back up RB slot, unless he gets in a centre-back who can play RB. I'm pretty sure Boyata can play at RB aswell as Cb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 15 July, 2010 Share Posted 15 July, 2010 Boyata is a donkey, would prefer to see Martin/Seabourne given opportunities rather than wasting money on an untried and untested youth player from a big club. Donaldson would be a better bet, he's got a big future ahead of him. However, I think we should be focusing a lot less on the loan market and aiming towards permanent deals, remember that we're looking to build a team to take us up to the Prem, and as the Skates showed last season, a team built on loans doesn't work well.

the saint in winchester Posted 15 July, 2010 Share Posted 15 July, 2010 Surely this Boyota is being considered for the U21 side? As would be Shulton, Harlow Jean (picture of a beauty queen), McGlashen and Corsa Van - the trialists from last weekend. We're recruiting for two levels - senior and junior. These guys are at the junior level, not as rivals to the senior side. Well, that's how I reason on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 15 July, 2010 Share Posted 15 July, 2010 Boyata made a fair few appearances for the Man City first team last season - i'm not sure he'd come here on loan to sit in the reserves when he could easily get first team football elsewhere.

Matthew Le God Posted 15 July, 2010 Share Posted 15 July, 2010 Surely this Boyota is being considered for the U21 side? No chance. Why would Man City loan Saints a player on the fringe of their 1st team(and has had Premiership experience and played in the Carling Cup semi final) to join the Saints and be on the fringe of their League One squad in the under 21 development squad? "If" Boyota comes to Saints it will be to partner Fonte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 15 July, 2010 Share Posted 15 July, 2010 Based on? Watched a couple of Man City games he played in, and he never struck me as being particularly promising. Got caught out a lot and was a passenger in defence. Tbf though, he was thrown in at the deep end and City fans seem to rate him as a prospect. However, I would still prefer to see us using Martin in particular more often rather than loaning in a Premiership primadonna, who will probably be on massive wages and may not actually be better than what we already have.

hypochondriac Posted 15 July, 2010 Share Posted 15 July, 2010 I trust Pardew's judgement. I really think we could do with another CB to fill in for Jaidi. I don't rate Seaborne at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 15 July, 2010 Share Posted 15 July, 2010 Seabourne is also a bit suspect for me as well, but as you said, I trust Pardew's judgement that he'll come good. Maybe after a bit more time settling into the area and the playing squad will do his game some good, and he'll be better than last season. I hope so anyway...
