Turkish Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 Three weeks gone and I'm still holding my breath... thats impressive, ever thought of taking up free diving? You'd be brilliant at it.
alpine_saint Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 The SAS close in on the Taliban faster than we've been closing in on Austin....
Turkish Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 The SAS close in on the Taliban faster than we've been closing in on Austin.... thats quite funny for you. Lucikly we dont need him. We need to be looking at players from Dagenham and Redbridge and Yeovil, just about league one standard but significantly worse than what we have and would be happy to join us to sit on the bench in case anyone gets injured. Why pay £1.5m for one player when we can get 15 for £100k each?

Turkish Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 Have you thought about working for Poopey as an advisor? i have come round to the "one for the squad" brigades thinking. We dont need good players to improve the first XI. What we need are 11 first team players and then 40 back up players, happy to sit around and only play if and when we get injuries. Some of them might not have to kick a ball at all if they are lucky. We need to give them all long contracts so if we get promoted to the championship we have all these sh*t players not good enough for the championship and when we struggle we can all slag them off every week. This transfer policy worked brilliantly in the past and lead to two relegations in 4 seasons. As i say, why buy one good player for £1.5m when you can get 15 for £100k each?
ericofarabia Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 Three weeks gone and I'm still holding my breath... Next you'll be telling us you have a nine inch long tongue and breathe through your ears Ladies form an orderly queue
itchen_dan Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 Just seen on SSN that Burnley have asked Everton's permission to speak to James Vaughan. Leaves the door open for us to get Charlie! Don't lose hope!

thorpie the sinner Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 not sure I follow? I think it means there's only 90 clubs chasing him now!!

Oh what a shame - we're still on opposite sides of the fence. I had just come round to your way of thinking that we're completely OK with the players we have at our disposal....promotion from L1 is a dead-on certainty, we'll storm the NPC next season and go up champions and Gobern and Pulis will be voted joint Premiership players of the season 2014!

Saint 76er Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 Maybe we'll get Pericard back instead ....
trousers Posted 20 January, 2011 Posted 20 January, 2011 Have we beaten the Skacel record yet? Not quite. That one ran for 6 years, 8 months, 23 days and 12 hours.....and counting....
Saint Charlie Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 The Swindon writer from their local paper just said on twitter: I have been told no approach from Saints and no bid of any substance whatsoever for Austin.
hypochondriac Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 The Swindon writer from their local paper just said on twitter: I have been told no approach from Saints and no bid of any substance whatsoever for Austin. Odd. Would have thought we would have put a bid in.
Matthew Le God Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 Danny Wilson calling Austin immature won't help him patch things up and stay at Swindon.

SuperSAINT Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 Have we ever been officially linked with him? (Aside from this thread)
Appy Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 Its Norwich...I've said it before and you heard it here first ! To be fair it will be a long time until posters on here take anything you say as gospel.
Dalek2003 Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 To be fair it will be a long time until posters on here take anything you say as gospel. I was first with the news of the appointment of GB, hours before the news that surprised everyone and i am dead right about the Hoddle debacle in 2004. Although I understand why some people would like to bury the truth and erase it from history.

Turkish Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 Have we ever been officially linked with him? (Aside from this thread) a couple of internet sites said we were interested and an ITKer on here said we had bid £1.5m other than that its 8 pages of nonsense with people wetting themselves, creaming themselves or wristslitting in equal measure. Dont get me wrong, i'd love us to sign him, but yet again this forum excels itself with histrionics based on zero facts and speculation.
NickG Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 Odd. Would have thought we would have put a bid in. would be surprised if we do.
Dalek2003 Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 I understand why some people never admit to being wrong too. I agree, considering that their barracking of the board led to the catastrophic downfall of a previously solid Premier club.
hypochondriac Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 would be surprised if we do. Don't see why. He would be a brilliant signing.
forever a red and white Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 Do we really need to spend the money is the real question. Now Guly has put pen to paper and has adapted as a striker does it not solve our problem. If one striker is injured, then we can get a loan or hope that Connoly is fit. We also have the sqaud to change our formation for a few games if necessary. We can't sign every good player out there. Lets see where we are in five months. There will be better players out there for us IF we get promoted.
NickG Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 yes very good player who may add to our squad. But expensive and we have an abundance of riches upfront. A lot of money for someone who would expect to start and may well not. Don't think he is type of player they would see a piority at all
NickG Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 How much would he cost? Millions? We have used as forwards this season Lambert 9 goals Guly 8 goals Barnard 8 goals Lallana 9 goals Connolly 1 goal Ox-C 7 goals

Some people have been wetting themselves, creaming themselves, wristslitting and excelling themselves with histronics based on zero facts and speculation on the same subject for the last seven years: i am dead right about the Hoddle debacle in 2004. Although I understand why some people would like to bury the truth and erase it from history. I agree, considering that their barracking of the board led to the catastrophic downfall of a previously solid Premier club. Keep on creaming, sunshine. Keep on creaming.
thorpie the sinner Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 Wonder when we will actually realise that the transfers we make these days are behind closed doors!!? Never apparently!!!!!
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 21 January, 2011 Posted 21 January, 2011 I was first with the news of the appointment of GB, hours before the news that surprised everyone and i am dead right about the Hoddle debacle in 2004.

I genuinely don't know who the biggest pr1ck is and considering you're up against Dune and Alpine for that award that's saying something.

anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 22 January, 2011 Posted 22 January, 2011 I don't care what you think, but despite the attacks the truth will come out one day and I will keep the beacon of truth burning strong ! you muppet, what truth? Your contention is that Hoddle would have saved us from relegation and that some fans are to blame for him not being reappointed and therefore are to blame for relegation. Ignoring the many holes in your obsession, unless you can either invent a time machine or find a parrallel world 7 or so years behind ours I'd venture to suggest that the "truth" you seek will never emerge.
Matthew Le God Posted 22 January, 2011 Posted 22 January, 2011 I think we are going off on a tangent here... (probably actually happened as soon as this thread started 8 pages ago tbh )
Danbert Posted 22 January, 2011 Posted 22 January, 2011 I'm just guessing, but are you by any chance a Scientologist?
Matthew Le God Posted 22 January, 2011 Posted 22 January, 2011 (edited) Why would you think that? I am an anti-theist. Now you have made the thread go off on another tangent! Edited 22 January, 2011 by Matthew Le God

Badger Posted 22 January, 2011 Posted 22 January, 2011 Easy people... The thread is about Charlie Austin remember. I can't wait for Charlie Austin's first press conference if he signs for us. I wonder what his views on reincarnation, and the disabled are.
david in sweden Posted 22 January, 2011 Posted 22 January, 2011 I've got a contact with someone fairly high up on the Swindon board and I have been reliably informed we have had a bid accepted for Charlie Austin. Kaiser Soze ...you wrote this on january 4th...now there are only 9 days left before the window closes ..are we STILL closing in on Austin ?
