benjii Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Never heard of him but he sounds good and if we don't sign him I'll go crazy ape ****.
saint lard Posted 21 August, 2010 Author Posted 21 August, 2010 If you take a peek at the second link, to the video,he looks the mutts nuts in his role of attacking midfielder,imo.
(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 According to Wikipedia, 9 goals in 34 appearances in Serie A last season? Pretty amazing/unlikely stats for a player in our sights?
Turkish Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 According to Wikipedia, 9 goals in 34 appearances in Serie A last season? Pretty amazing/unlikely stats for a player in our sights? Is that all? Unless he's got a goal ratio of a goal a game he aint worth bothering with.
itchen_dan Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 He's massive, quite quick, great control and he's got a great strike on him aswell! If we could get him for about 800k it would be a massive coup IMO!
S-Clarke Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Reminds me of the Papa Waigo deal, came out of nowhere. (actually, all our signings have been like that haven't they?) If it's true, i'd imagine Cortese's contacts have come into play again.
saint lard Posted 21 August, 2010 Author Posted 21 August, 2010 Rumour has it he has the same agent as Antonio. Again,that could be carp,am finding it a little difficult to confirm.
hypochondriac Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Rumour has it he has the same agent as Antonio. Again,that could be carp. Who from?
Whitey Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Might be one of the better players we are "waiting on" as Pardew alluded to?
S-Clarke Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Rumour has it he has the same agent as Antonio. Again,that could be carp,am finding it a little difficult to confirm. i would assume they mean papa?

If it's true, i'd imagine Cortese's contacts have come into play again. The only transfer I can remember being publicly released was the Dean Hammond one at the start of last year. The OS actually had an article saying that we had agreed a fee and we're in talks. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1759215,00.html Apart from that one, they have all come out of the blue.

Dickson was pretty much common knowledge
Faz Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 SBATDAJFU If he gets that amount of time in any league in this country I'll eat my hat.
saint lard Posted 21 August, 2010 Author Posted 21 August, 2010 i would assume they mean papa? I too suspect that Papa would be nearer the mark. Probably tosh anyway.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Exactly the type of central midfielder we've been crying out for. I truly hope this one is true - we would score hatfulls with this guy involved.
Turkish Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 (edited) Exactly the type of central midfielder we've been crying out for. I truly hope this one is true - we would score hatfulls with this guy involved. You hope. You are judging this based on a 4 minute video, before today had you ever heard of him? I hadn't, he does look good, but if they made a 4 minute video of my best bits from my last 2 season i'd look like a world class player too Edited 21 August, 2010 by Turkish
(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 by the looks of him he could probably cover CM/RM as well a competing with RL or perhaps even playing alongside him? Looks class, hence perhaps less likely unless we've flown under the radar and nabbed him out of the blue?
Norm Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Haven't we been here before, name rings a bell. I just knew we would sign De Pedro/Do Prado at some time in my life time.

saints_is_the_south Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 According to Wikipedia, 9 goals in 34 appearances in Serie A last season? Pretty amazing/unlikely stats for a player in our sights? Cesena were in Serie B last season, not A.
Marsdinho Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 We should sign him, he scores loads for me in Football Manager 2010 Looks like a bulkier, more composed version of Papa.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 ...could this be the mystery person at SMS today?
SuperSAINT Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 ...could this be the mystery person at SMS today? For what it's worth they said he "looks like a winger or a striker"
kpturner Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Was he the "new signing" loitering around outside before the match. The stewards seemed to think so - black guy with a huge diamond earring.
saint lard Posted 21 August, 2010 Author Posted 21 August, 2010 Itchen dan has found another link......It's going to happen,i believe. http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.itasportpress.it%2F%3Faction%3Dread%26idnotizia%3D33939&sl=auto&tl=en
S-Clarke Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Good scoop saint-lard, looks like it may be happening.
DrunkenSaint Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 If this is true hope he signs quickly, we should try placing a bid in for Antonio also, he still a bench player for Reading and we need pace in the team badly. Both of them would fit straight into the squad.
Nexstar Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Sounds just what we need, well done Pardew. With any luck this guy can push Puncheon out!
saint lard Posted 21 August, 2010 Author Posted 21 August, 2010 (edited) I don't say this lightly,according to two of my Italian friends,ex workmates, they say and i quote"he will become a favourite with all the fans" and "he is masterful with his control of the ball and his shooting" Facebook has it's usess. Edited 21 August, 2010 by saint lard
Nexstar Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Is Puncheon the new whipping boy ? If he continues to put in performances like that he will be. Seemed clueless on passing, taking on players and shooting.
sfc4prem Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Is Puncheon the new whipping boy ? Yep. Dunno why though, no one gave him any options so he ha to try and keep possession on his own, making him look selfish and not very good. Puncheon is a good player.
Nexstar Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Yep. Dunno why though, no one gave him any options so he ha to try and keep possession on his own, making him look selfish and not very good. Puncheon is a good player. Every time he got the ball? Don't be ridiculous. Sometimes it seemed as though he was waiting to be challenged just so he could try some over-fancy skills that again didn't come off. Also, hitting the roof of the stand from 18 yards is not a sign of a good player.
Roger Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 What are you on? Punchon played well I thought. He was the only one with barnard who looked like doing anything. He was really strong on the ball. Lallana was the one who was off the pace today. Hammond was rubbish again. Punchon isnt the problem imo.
NickG Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Didn't think Puncheon was that bad - worse for me today were - Hammond, Jaidi, Fonte, and Lambert apart from the goal.
ericb Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 I don't think puncheon is a bad player but i do think he needs a kick up the arse. He's playing badly at the moment and not thinking on the ball. He also seems to think that he has to beat ten players before he can cross (not that there was anyone in the box for him for most of today's game). Again i think that comes back to the manager, bollock him at half time, sub him if it continues and then for a last resort drop him if his attitude doesn't change. Same thing goes with dropping Jaidi, the whole ground can see he's not up to it any more (it's sadly a bit like Perry last season that you can see he's got too old).
solentstars Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 If he continues to put in performances like that he will be. Seemed clueless on passing, taking on players and shooting. hes is the new whipping boy personally i thought lallana and hammond were terrible today.

He was really strong on the ball. Lallana was the one who was off the pace today. Hammond was rubbish again. Punchon isnt the problem imo. He is infuriating to watch, I don't think i've ever shouted PASS so loud before....and he still didn't!
