saint1977 Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 No thanks to Gillespie, decent at Man U but mixed since and far too old now. If you think Puncheon is trouble, this bloke is different gravy! I've got a feeling Kapo almost joined us a few years ago but there was a medical issue, possibly cardiac-related? Can't have been too chronic as he's had a decent career.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 Come on, give him a trial at least. I've just bet him that he will never play for us... He couldn't resist!
Ajv2809 Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 Based purely on his amazing goal this week, Yohandry Orozco CDAJFU
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 Ian Thomas-Moore has gone from Tranmere to Rotherham. Could it mean Le Fondre on the move?
ulstersaint Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 Coming from northern ireland and having seen him play in the irish league last year (where he wasnt good enough), i can tell you hes way past it....good player in his day though Amen to that.
suewhistle Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 Had a quick look online at the Brum-WHU game tonight. One or two who might DAJFU but boy, is the football crap. Neither side can pass the ball.
beatlesaint Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 Ian Thomas-Moore has gone from Tranmere to Rotherham. Could it mean Le Fondre on the move? No its just that Le Fondre has only scored 1 goal since the end of November !
verlaine1979 Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Any news on whether Gael N'Lundulu made much of an impression during his trial last week? Noticed he wasn't in the development squad against Oxford, so presumably trial over.
Nexstar Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Any news on whether Gael N'Lundulu made much of an impression during his trial last week? Noticed he wasn't in the development squad against Oxford, so presumably trial over. The Saints twitter said he was a way off being first-team fit if he did sign, so I'd assume he didn't pass a trial as he didn't feature today.
Hopkins Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Had a quick look online at the Brum-WHU game tonight. One or two who might DAJFU but boy, is the football crap. Neither side can pass the ball. Literally all 22 players would "DAJFU". Hth.
Saint Charlie Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/8814750.Austin_poised_for_Town_exit/ Obviously funds are available for the right player...
thorpie the sinner Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 I think they are seeing Adkins at game, adding two and two together and coming up with a saints bid!! It hasn't happened!!
Tac-tics Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Still think Craig Makail Smith and maybe a defender would really show we mean business along with Danny, Chaps and Guly
Saint_clark Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Gillespie and Fowler would be amazing. If we signed these two then fans up and down the country actually WOULD be laughing at us for once.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 I know there are reports saying Austin is Ipswich-bound but maybe our plan is Seaborne plus cash for Austin and then buy Jason Pearce from Bompey, as weren't there rumours about a potential mystery signing from there a week or so ago? Maybe we won't push on for Pearce until Seaborne goes. All hypothetical but makes sense to my tiny mind.
K,Billy's supersound Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 is it not better to bring in a player in first before releasing another and potentially leaving ourselves short if said player we were after decided not to come or if the selling chairman decided to change terms. i would have though a defender would come in first before a seabourne part exchange deal would happen.
itchen_dan Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Some guy on 606 reckons we've signed Jacob Mellis on loan again. Can't see anything in the press though.
saints-cris Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Some guy on 606 reckons we've signed Jacob Mellis on loan again. Can't see anything in the press though. Hes just gone to Barnsley on loan
Norm Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 I doubt hes very irish, didnt play for the republic, but the other 2 attributes are correct Keith Robert Gillespie (born 18 February 1975 in Larne, County Antrim) is a Northern Irish professional footballer Most posters on here have no idea about Gillispie being Irish or Northern Irish or if he came from Ulster or the 6 Counties. What in your eyes was missing was the Northern. All most care about is that he kicked a football (once).
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 If Austin is on his way to Ipswich or Blackpool and Mackail-Smith could well be staying at Posh until summer, what other striking options are available to us, if we do want to bring someone in? Will Hoskins is having a decent season in a poor Bristol Rovers side, Glenn Murray at Brighton is out of contract in the summer or a Championship striker like Tyson or Garner from Forest?
Pat from Poole Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 If Austin is on his way to Ipswich or Blackpool and Mackail-Smith could well be staying at Posh until summer' date=' what other striking options are available to us, if we do want to bring someone in?

We'd be better off spending the bulk of our transfer budget on a goalkeeper than a striker. It's Davis that may well cost us promotion, not a lack of goals scored.
The9 Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 My first time on this thread this season, anyone mentioned Shefki Kuqi yet ? Old and just released from Swansea ahead of schedule, but big and good in the air, and a Lambert replacement if ever there was one.

marcsfc Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara keen on loan move hes been out injured for a while, always looked good for skates maybe???
Appy Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara keen on loan move hes been out injured for a while, always looked good for skates maybe??? Zero Chance. We are in League One
saintscottofthenortham Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara keen on loan move hes been out injured for a while, always looked good for skates maybe???
Saint J 77 Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 No news is good news? Ok so we got a loan in but it looks like that could well be it unless we are going to bring more loans in after the transfer window has shut.
marcsfc Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 Zero Chance. We are in League One yeah i know that but hes been out all season so you never know,doubtful admitedly but this is football.
Chez Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 yeah i know that but hes been out all season so you never know,doubtful admitedly but this is football. Spurs do it just to spite the skates for their missing £1m? No chance, but I made myself smile.
Tom28 Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara keen on loan move hes been out injured for a while, always looked good for skates maybe??? This would make my 2011 if we managed to get him - quality footballer. Its worth a punt but there are plenty of Premier League teams that would have him.
Appy Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 I don't care who we sign as long as he doesn't yawn in training.
Um Bongo Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 Elliott Bennett has put in a transfer request at Brighton.... Pacey winger....
Saint Charlie Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 Elliott Bennett has put in a transfer request at Brighton.... Pacey winger.... Going to Norwich if anywhere - they obviously don't want to let him go.
Papa Shango Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 With any chance of signing Charlie Austin now officially gone, I'd be very surprised if we made any big transfer now. Maybe a striker on loan, but that'll be it.
SaintRichmond Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 With any chance of signing Charlie Austin now officially gone, I'd be very surprised if we made any big transfer now. Maybe a striker on loan, but that'll be it. That's if we ever intended too in the first place We have one on loan, and that will be it IMHO Cortese to Adkins ..... "Make do with what you've got"
NickG Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 That's if we ever intended too in the first place We have one on loan, and that will be it IMHO Cortese to Adkins ..... "Make do with what you've got" why has Cortese made bids then? Think Adkins was being honest when saying squad is good enough but couple of possibles to improve it but if they don't come off then not shopping around
thornhill_saints Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 I'm still waiting to see if these substantial bids come off????
SaintRichmond Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 why has Cortese made bids then?Think Adkins was being honest when saying squad is good enough but couple of possibles to improve it but if they don't come off then not shopping around IMHO Just going through the motions Two "major" targets for all clubs in this window. Austin and Mackail-Smith Prices quoted circa 1.5 - 2 Million. Too much for Div 1 players ??? Not if there is a buyer For Austin there was a buyer, for Smith ?? we will have to wait and see I would be surprised if Cortese would go above £1 Million for either, and I don't blame him Austin has ended up in a CCC Club with a real chance to go up again Smith, IMHO, would make it in the CCC, and I'm rather surprised no one has made a move for him yet IMHO, If a CCC Club came calling, he would go, but he won't be "allowed" to join a Rival Club in Div 1

Austin was lucky, he got his chance and took it, I'm glad he didnt come to us, as he would of upset the dressing room, with his BIG IAM status, when he's only just small fry. he wont perform there, he will get in a strop, I bet he's only on the bench....
NickG Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 I don't think we were interested in Austin. Think bids where elsewhere (and maybe still live)
S-Clarke Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 I agree Nick. How many people predicated the Dany N'guessan signing? That's exactly it and how we work now. The signings we make are ones that have not been speculated, or even considered by us half of the time.
Chez Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 I agree Nick. How many people predicated the Dany N'guessan signing? ahem
NickG Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 maybe we should keep eye on Brighton board they were calling for N'guessan! Pugh is their latest
Whitey Grandad Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 maybe we should keep eye on Brighton board they were calling for N'guessan! Pugh is their latest Going to Burnley apparently.
NickG Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 going to us would be good, leaving B'mth (and not going to Brighton) would be nearly as good!
Chez Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 did I mention that Wednesday after Lee Cook on loan and `other' clubs are interested. The club offering the highest percentage of his wages wins.
