January Transfer Window HCDAJFU

[Smirking_Saint]

Reading have been in the financial sh!ts for a while, AutoTrader went waaaaaaaay down in the market and Madejski lost a lot of money from it. Rumour had it about a year ago that he was going to sell up to try and recoup some of the money he has lost from AutoTrader. While we're talking about Reading players, Jem Karacan would be good. Does a similar job to Chaplow, but younger and better technically.

 

Yeah, apparantly he has been open to offers at Reading for a while. He has also recently pumped some cash into some housing somewhere or buildings contracts or something. From what i have heard he is not going to cut and run from the royals but if someone came in with a serious offer he will take it and has said he has not the cash to fund any real player signings.

 

It must be worth a look, Reading is not far from us, we are arguably a bigger side and on the up (alledgedly lol), we have the cash.

 

They have a lot of players that i would consider. Mills, Mcanuff, Karacan, Church, Howard. I don't know about Long as i have never rated him but he would probably do well in this league.

I remember we got linked with him when the dutch duo were here. He was at Swansea at the time.

Played for Yeovil against us earlier in the season and I didn't think he was anything special.

Probably isn't. Just another player who isn't getting a game at his parent club trying to drum up some interest now that we have a transfer window coming up. If he was any cop he'd still be t Norwich I suppose.Probably the type of deal we'll be running after though.

[torsaint]

Was he the winger who gave Harding a real run-around?

I thought that was one of the succession of Willamses that they turned out, seem to remember Williams being replaced by Williams who was in his turn replaced by Williams.Same dirty little crap that got Morgan sent off last season I expect, fast and tricky but overly free with his elbows.

Harley at Exeter gave us the right runaround at St Marys last year and is far better than Hammond or Morgan.

Pure class. I can't understand why he wasn't brought by anyone in the summer. He's got a great left boot on him

[iansums]

From Patred on TUI:

 

"Between us and Norwich City..

 

 

Apparentley we have 'enquired' about two of their players.

Chris Martins and Owain Tudor Jones,..

 

Norwich are interested in Jason Puncheon ! "

 

 

Chris Martin anyone?

Did well at this level last year. Quite young too but isn't he in their first team at the mo?

[Dalek2003]

Tudor Jones to Saints...some sort of deal is about to happen. All the talk here in Norwich. Chris martin would be a good buy for Saints.

chris martin is a good player

[hypochondriac]

Good musician too.

[Nexstar]

Chris Martin plays regularly for Norwich, so I can't see that happening.

 

Gary Madine anyone? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/carlisle_united/9311405.stm

[georgeweahscousin]

Would love to get Chris Martin, but Tudor-Jones is both crap and injured all the time.

[Matthew Le God]

Some players mentioned here in this thread...

 

Hull City have made bids for Matty Fraytt (source BBC Leicester reporter) and Aaron McLean (source Peterborough official webite). A bid for Charlie Austin by Hull has been rejected.

[dronskisaint]

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/20122010/63/burley-contact-cadogan.html

 

The above probably means Burley hasn't been sober enough to check his mail!

 

Chris Martin would be a good buy -a youngster in keeping with the intentions to buy for the future. Bit raw but can score.

[Turkish]

Harley at Exeter gave us the right runaround at St Marys last year and is far better than Hammond or Morgan.

 

and i am sure if an Exter fan had seen Hammonds performance against Peterborough he'd be saying Hammond is far better than Harely. You cant compare the two based on seeing one player once and the other over the course of a season and a half.

[Turkish]

that is debatable.

sounds perfect, only surprised we haven't signed him earlier.

I wonder if Folan will go the other way? If McLean leaves that will weaken them, but increase competition for strikers.

Craig Davies was linked with QPR yesterday. What's the rule on players moving twice in a season as he signed for Chesi on a free in the summer from Brighton

Patred is connected and usually on the money; he also has links up in Norwich, though I cannot remember how/why (goalkeeping coach of some kind?). Martin was banging them in for Norwich last season in L1, so that would be a very useful signing. I just wonder why they would want to let him go, even in part-ex for Puncheon (if indeed they are after him).

[ottery st mary]

Rather have Hoolahan and or Mcnamee (sorry about spellin)

 

From Norwich..Maybe Norwich are after one of our bigger names like...Spiderman

[NickG]

Chris Martin their 2ns top scorer this season with 6 in 16.

Puncheon's agent says that Millwall want to keep him and that he doesn't know of any other potential acquirers.

I'm not comparing him on one performance. But thanks for the ever so patronising advice.

Excellent point but then that is the sort of nonsense you get on here. Ryan Harley isn't a bad player and at 25 is at the peak of his career. He has done nothing in that time to suggest that he is significantly better than a League 1 player. Morgan is much younger and still developing. He has excellent games but shows the inconsistency of his youth and needs to kick-on in the next year or two. Harley does not represent a clear advantage over Morgan. Why would we want to change them? Hammond isn't quite so young; he could do with a rest as it looks as if he has been run into the ground this season. Getting Chaplow in to allow that to happen seems sensible and if we could get someone in - like Norris or Stock - who would definitely add something it would be worth getting one more in in the centre of the park but players that are that likley to work dont grow on trees. Just changing players for the sake of it is not how you build a club or a team.

[niemi14]

Just had a look on the PFA website and notice that Jeremie Aliadiere and Febian Brandy are both on free transfers, not bad strikers for this level?

 

I am a big fan of Kelvin Davis but if Adkins does want to replace the keeper, I notice that Brian Jensen has handed in a transfer request, he made some brilliant saves in the PL for Burnley last season.

 

Another Burnley player who could certainly DAJFU is Kevin MacDonald, who has just returned to them on loan from S****horpe. Only 22 and a real good prospect.

 

Would be good to see us bringing in some players who would be able to help challenge at the right end of the Championship if we can get there this season.

I am amazed that no one has comein for these two. Both could do a decent job at this level, must be some reason for it.

Maybe that's the key point - at this level. Maybe neither player wants to be at this level having been at top 4 Prem clubs albeit with minimal success. Come February, after clubs have done their transfer window business, these 2 might be more willing to get their careers going again in League 1.

[Chez]

I thought the problem was Aliadiere wanted 10k a week so several chairman told him to **** off.

[teamsaint]

If Aliadiere ups his demands to £20k a week, he might get poopey interested.

[SO16_Saint]

Just about Saints related, but Posh have agreed to sell Mclean to Hull for £1.3M according to SSN

[NickG]

how?

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

Is it because his brother was here for a while?

[Mowgli]

Well, I guess this might cool Hull's interest in Matt Fryatt and Charlie Austin....

[MarkSFC]

Chris Martin would be great...linked up very well with the "big" Holt and so maybe would help to bring Lambert alive again. Young and full of energy...perhaps the move to the Championship has happened slightly too quickly for him and if Norwich go up again then maybe he could be left behind. A move to us would probably be very good for him!!!!

Norwich dont have loads of money so maybe they are going to gamble a bit in Jan and try and hit the Premier jackpot so they may well sell.

 

Not too sure about a winger no one seems to have heard about but then Antonio and Waigo werent. In Adkins we trust!

[SaintNeil90]

Why do people take rumours as gospel? The only people who know which players we would like to sign is probably Cortese and Adkins.

[forever a red and white]

happy about this, could serioulsy dent them and he scored a good goal against us.

[forever a red and white]

how about this guy if they were to let him drop down for a month and he wanted fitness, very ambitious, but just what we need:

[Deppo]

Just about Saints related, but Posh have agreed to sell Mclean to Hull for £1.3M according to SSN

 

how?

 

Posh = Peterborough

 

Southampton = Saints

 

ie Saint Peter - the disciple who denied knowing Jesus three times before repenting

 

In other words. Sky have repoted this story knowing it to be untrue (they have denied Jesus) and will have to repent so that they don't go to Hull (Hell) and recognise the truth that Mclean (Jesus) is in fact on his way to St Mary's (his mother's womb) and the world will be put right again/we'll get promoted.

Having been without a club for 6 months now you'd think they'd take what they can get.

[Saint_clark]

Although Deppo explained it quite well it's not really a strong enough link.

[Turkish]

It's about as Saints related as man United and Chelsea chasing Wesley Schnider.

[supersonic]

I am amazed that no one has comein for these two. Both could do a decent job at this level, must be some reason for it.

 

Even though Aliadiere has a goal scoring record of 1 goal in what seems every 3.5 years! He's truely an awful player, I know he used to play for Arsenal, but just look at his goalscoring record. 21 goals in 151 games for a striker is pathetic!!
