Stepgar Posted 24 January, 2011 Posted 24 January, 2011 With all this hype we ha better sign some one!! What an anti climax it would be if we didnt?
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 24 January, 2011 Posted 24 January, 2011 With all this hype we ha better sign some one!! What an anti climax it would be if we didnt? Just thinking that. We'll all be so much wiser this time next week, I guess.
Saint_clark Posted 24 January, 2011 Posted 24 January, 2011 The Guly deal was announced in the morning I believe.
Saints foreva Posted 24 January, 2011 Posted 24 January, 2011 The Guly deal was announced in the morning I believe. Yeah it was but let's be honest, that wasn't really a surprise as Adkins had already said he wanted to make it permanent. Lallana's new contract was announced at night.
Gemmel Posted 24 January, 2011 Posted 24 January, 2011 Yeah it was but let's be honest, that wasn't really a surprise as Adkins had already said he wanted to make it permanent. . And the fact that left back told us two months ago
Saint_clark Posted 24 January, 2011 Posted 24 January, 2011 And the fact that left back told us two months ago No he didn't. He said that we had signed him permanently in the summer.
David Strover Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 Apparently the Charlie Austin signing is off. In a sensational last minute twist the Swindon striker refused to sign after complaining about having to drive back and forth to Southampton to have medicals and be shown around the facilities every day for the last fortnight. Remember the real Keyser Söze was Roger 'Verbal' Kint.
stanthemanfairoak Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 where the hell did you get that story from?
David Strover Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 If you're referring to what I posted - errr - it was meant to be funny. Apparently not though.

InvictaSaint Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 The greatest trick that Charlie Austin ever played, was convincing the world that he would sign for Saints....

Saint Charlie Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 Swindon local paper says offers received from Blackpool and Burnley.
S-Clarke Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 I think this is now all we need to know on the subject. He's ours! ...apparently ''OFFICIAL Charlie Austin has been anounced on Southampton radio to join Southampton for a deal reported to be 1.5 million plus connoly and lee holmes may be apart of the deal OFFICIAL NEWS YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!'' Not a bad deal really , getting a good player and getting the other club to take 2 of our injured players in the process. This Cortese isn't stupid.
Gingeletiss Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 Ummm! if true, that will be seen as a bit of good buisness.

S-Clarke Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 What radio station? no tweets from solent......... no idea, just picked it up from another football forum.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 Swindon local paper says offers received from Blackpool and Burnley. They wouldn't be allowed to say if we'd bid because we complete our transfers on the q.t.

The £1.5 million would barely cover the medical costs for treating Holmes and Connolly!! I smell utter BS. However, if true, it would be one of the great swindles of the century!!!
Kaiser Soze Posted 25 January, 2011 Author Posted 25 January, 2011 Deal is still very much on. Don't have any other info. If we pull this off (which will be a massive achievement considering the number of other clubs involved) I look foward to a personal apology from everyone on here doubting my credability

SaintRichmond Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 And if we don't pull it off....? ;-) IMHO, I think he just wants to be pulled off..........
SaintRichmond Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 And if we don't pull it off....? ;-) We should concentrate on Smith, who is a far better all round player anyway
Tokyo-Saint Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 And if we don't pull it off....? ;-) He has to move into Martin O'Neil's flat in Winchester.
ottery st mary Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 We should concentrate on Smith, who is a far better all round player anyway Do you mean our Ryan Smith now performing for Barcelona...You know the world class one with a bit of Dutch in him.....
SaintRichmond Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 Do you mean our Ryan Smith now performing for Barcelona...You know the world class one with a bit of Dutch in him..... Silly me I was referring to Craig Mackerel Smith of Peterborough
David Strover Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 This is really boring. He'll probably sign on and score four goals between now and the rest of the season.....
David Strover Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 Which means the poor blokes got to jump in car and get down to SMS to have his seventh medical, be shown around Staplewood and then have another medical before signing on for the new owners at midnight. He'll probably get a police escort all the way down to Southampton. I'm going out to the 419 he might pass by.........
Tony F Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 Wiltshire Radio commentators gave a list of visiting managers and scouts attending the match (honestly! It was during half time waffle). And they specifically mentioned Nigel Adkins as being there. No wind up; no lies - just reporting what was on the radio this evening. p.s. Austin missed a penalty

Stu Man Do Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 Do you mean our Ryan Smith now performing for Barcelona...You know the world class one with a bit of Dutch in him..... I thought it was Pardew not the dutch clowns who were sacked for putting it about? ;-) ALLEGEDLY
NickG Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 expect a lot of league 1 managers go to a midweek game to watch other teams if have a free week
Turkish Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 expect a lot of league 1 managers go to a midweek game to watch other teams if have a free week he was probably watching Tranmeres Ian Thomas Moore, he'd make a great "cover" player and ideal fifth choice striker in case everyone else is injured. Just the sort of player we need on our books.
madruss Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 he was probably watching Tranmeres Ian Thomas Moore, he'd make a great "cover" player and ideal fifth choice striker in case everyone else is injured. Just the sort of player we need on our books. But what if Thomas Moore then gets injured? At least two more strikers needed I think
NickG Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 Brighton doing so so considering hardly have any strikers.
Turkish Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 But what if Thomas Moore then gets injured? At least two more strikers needed I think Hmmm, those two might get injured though, best play safe and get another 5. If we can give them all 5 year contract so they are still with us when we get to the PL (all being well) even better. We'll need a squad of at least 100 players then and we need to start planning now.

Appy Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 We are interested i'm sure of that, its the waiting game.
Badger Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 An excellent strategy. But what about when Tommy Forecast gets injured? No one will notice.
Turkish Posted 25 January, 2011 Posted 25 January, 2011 (edited) An excellent strategy. But what about when Tommy Forecast gets injured? We could probably do with a couple of extra keepers as well. Although if we base this on England, they take 3 in a squad of 22 for a maximum 7 game tournement, using that ratio we need 144 players which would include 19 goalkeepers to get us through a 46 game season, we urgently need to strengthen, get the cheque book out Cortese FFS.
