hypochondriac Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 it was in one of his recent pree match or post match press conf's. he def. mentioned about us looking to bring in 2 faces. Pretty sure it would have been much bigger news on here if he had.
derry Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 Pretty sure it would have been much bigger news on here if he had. He said precisely that on Solent after the N C match.
Saint Charlie Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 He said precisely that on Solent after the N C match. Yep, on this link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/9359408.stm He clearly says will are looking to bring people in and that it will hot up towards the end of the window.
hypochondriac Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 He said precisely that on Solent after the N C match. Thanks for that. Made me waste 6 minutes of my life re-listening to an interview that I had already heard to confirm what I already knew. He says we are looking for people to arrive in the building so at no point does he guarantee 'at least' 2 signings as the original poster said.
MarkSFC Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 I received a text this morning saying Kevin Phillips is coming back to us, bet the bloke in the Carphone Warehouse will be delighted if that's true. actually he worked for Vodafone in Salisbury at the time.....
Saint Fan CaM Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 There'll be plenty of transfers. Players like Austin will move this window, not necessarily to us, but deals will happen. They always take ages, clubs hold out while they can but usually can't keep an unhappy player with them for 5 months, can't risk them dropping in value, or need the money right away. I'm still hoping we sign Guly. A very significant point indeed. I think some are forgetting that him staying is not a certainty by any stretch until we hear otherwise from the OS.
Carozzi Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 With regards to guily, his loan ends on the 23rd Jan (according to NA in a post match interview after the exeter game) so we should hear something in the coming days i would expect

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_6673649,00.html Leon Clarke CDAJFU, IMO.
SaintNeil90 Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_6673649,00.html Leon Clarke CDAJFU, IMO. NO! Got released by Sheffield Wednesday and is not even considered at QPR. Having seen him play, he is useless, lazy, doesn't even know how to use his weight. When at Sheffield Wednesday he would regularly go out and get ****ed up before a game on the Saturday (probably why he was released). He is also thick as pig sh*t, even breaking his toe kicking an advertising hoarding in the last game of the season against Crystal Palace last year. 100% NO!
saintscottofthenortham Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_6673649,00.html Leon Clarke CDAJFU, IMO. Are you serious?
Saint_clark Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 If he got motivated Clarke could easily score goals at this level. Seemed very overweight and disinterested at Wednesday.
benjii Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 With regards to guily, his loan ends on the 23rd Jan (according to NA in a post match interview after the exeter game) so we should hear something in the coming days i would expect Probably next Monday.
Chez Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 If he got motivated Clarke could easily score goals at this level. Seemed very overweight and disinterested at Wednesday. I suggested Clarke a while back as a possible loan signing. At his best he was unplayable for Wedneasday, but I'm not sure how often that was. Not getting in the QPR side doesn;t mean you are a terrible player mind.
St.Patrik Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 Guly has signed a 2 1/2 year contract http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2271412,00.html
SaintRichmond Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 Guly has signed a 2 1/2 year contract http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2271412,00.html EXCELLENT news, well done Nicola Cortese
Toadhall Saint Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 I suggested Clarke a while back as a possible loan signing.

Saint Charlie Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 We should be aiming higher than Clarke, a nomad striker for a reason.
Andyb1 Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 We should be aiming higher than Clarke, a nomad striker for a reason. Seen him play against us before and he was absolute dump. No thanks, like a fat slower Lambert.
St.Patrik Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 If you look at SKY´s transfer clockwatch it´s been a rather busy day with transfers today. Perhaps after a slow start things will start to move now. I do belive we will see 2 players in and 1 out for Saints. And some youngsters going out on loan as well. And the one pleaving is Puncheon....
Joey-deacons-left-nut Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 So, with Gully singing, are all the players owned by us? I can't think of anyone else we have in on loan...
Chez Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 Seen him play against us before and he was absolute dump. No thanks, like a fat slower Lambert. you may be right, but I just can't get this game in 2009 out of my head whenever I hear his name mentioned. Burnley had been beaten only once in the previous 9 and were only beaten once in the next 14 champsionship/playoff games after it - so were no mugs! 2mins 4mins 4.30mins although it is worth watching the whole thing.
Saint_clark Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 So, with Gully singing, are all the players owned by us? I can't think of anyone else we have in on loan... Indeed, no loanees now.
Tac-tics Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 RE: Pilkington Bid Rejected.. just passing this info on, so all the excitable posters, please chirp down.ahhh thank you
derry Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 Thanks for that. Made me waste 6 minutes of my life re-listening to an interview that I had already heard to confirm what I already knew. He says we are looking for people to arrive in the building so at no point does he guarantee 'at least' 2 signings as the original poster said. Person/player is singular whilst people etc is plural he also said none out or words to that effect.
Smirking_Saint Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 RE: Pilkington Bid Rejected.. just passing this info on, so all the excitable posters, please chirp down.ahhh thank you And you know this ???? If so, how much did we offer ? Are we going in again etc etc
SuperMikey Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 So now that Guly has signed, how many others do you think we are looking to bring in? If Adkins has mentioned 2 players, was Guly one of them? Or was the permanent signing just a formality?
hypochondriac Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 Person/player is singular whilst people etc is plural he also said none out or words to that effect. The original poster said that Adkins said "we will see at least 2 more players in the building." Adkins did not say that. HTH.
hypochondriac Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 And you know this ???? If so, how much did we offer ? Are we going in again etc etc TBF he was right about Lambert. I would afford him more credibility than some.

Or was the permanent signing just a formality? We were told a couple of weeks ago that the only issue was his family's (wife?) residency but the club didn't see it was going to be an issue, so they obviously sorted the paperwork.
Joesaint Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 Just saw the pompy news and it says Ricketts could not get a contract, surly as a winger on a free and seems willing it would be worth a punt even if its for the bench to prove himself? COYS
Leicestersaint Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 I received a text this morning saying Kevin Phillips is coming back to us, bet the bloke in the Carphone Warehouse will be delighted if that's true. And pigs might fly!

COYS couldn't get a deal at Aberdeen or Leyton Orient. Either he asked for too much money or he ain't good enough.
revolution saint Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 He's been mentioned before and probably already out of our grasp but Dale Jennings would be a superb signing and just what we need. Good pace, an eye for goal, two footed and the right age as well. He wouldn't just be cover either and would fit the template of the kind of team we're trying to create. Probably just a pipe dream - I'm sure there are higher placed teams than us in for him but if Adkins can use his Tranmere connections then he would be a hell of a signing.
doggface Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 Having seen ricketts a few times in recent memory he is not good enough
saint_stevo Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 TBF he was right about Lambert. I would afford him more credibility than some. He took a punt on Lambert and got lucky. Still full of BS

Saint_clark Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 He took a punt on Lambert and got lucky. Still full of BS Well no, he told us that he had definitely signed about 5 minutes before it was officially announced, as well as updating throughout the day.

shurlock Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 (edited) He took a punt on Lambert and got lucky. Still full of BS Agree he's full of sh*t. Everybody was touting Lambo as he was one of the few names in L1 that anybody knew-doesn't mean he was ITK. Says more about our insularity and lack of knowledge outside the top leagues. Since then he's not even been faintly close even when assuring us that deals were imminent. A deal falls through- the great, face-saving unverifiable. Apart from Leftback, the rest is educated guesswork and birthday wishlists. Edited 21 January, 2011 by shurlock

He might be full of cr*p now but at the time he called it right.

He said something about doing some work at Staplewood. I'd be interested to know how he knows about the Pilkington "bid" now, because he said a while back that he no longer had any idea what was happening.

I think he was doing work experience at the time and bumped into Lambert.

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 Huddersfield selling us Pilkington is effectively them hanging over their chance of a promotion place. That has to add some serious money to the price. Wouldn't be surprised if they were holding out for £3m+. Indeed, and there's no way we're going to pay over a million for anyone unless they're a 'first name on the teamsheet' type player like Fonte or Lambert. Is it the right wing Pilkington plays on?

That has to add some serious money to the price. Wouldn't be surprised if they were holding out for £3m+. their chairman is worth a few bob, so they don't need the money. Having said that you don't get rich by giving money away. Realistically Pilkington might join us after we get promoted but not before.
Chez Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 Indeed' date=' and there's no way we're going to pay over a million for anyone unless they're a 'first name on the teamsheet' type player like Fonte or Lambert. Is it the right wing Pilkington plays on?[/quote'] played mostly on the left in the two games against us if memory serves me. Not what it was though.
Window Cleaner Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 played mostly on the left in the two games against us if memory serves me. Not what it was though. he was on the right when both Morgan and Chappers got booked for fouling him when our left back of the day couldn't cope with him.
saint_stevo Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 Good point. I think he was doing work experience at the time and bumped into Lambert. he speculatively started a 'wouldnt mind lambert signing' thread.........then pretended to be ITK. He has failed miserably in naming other 'signings'
