Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 24 January, 2011 Share Posted 24 January, 2011 Is there a requirement for Saints to have a player with a double-barreled surname in their line up & Mackail-Smith is being bought in case Oxo is sold? Maybe that's why Ward-Prowse is being fast-tracked too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 24 January, 2011 Share Posted 24 January, 2011 Looking at the U-Tube clips, seems that most of goals are short range poacher type shots which concerns me a little as I am not sure we are as good putting balls into those areas. Looks a good prospect though and fast with the ball too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a good prospect though and fast with the ball too. I saw him first hand when we thumped p'boro 4-1 and i felt sorry for him, as he was their best player by a mile. Gave us problems all afternoon with his pace and direct running. Seemed much more to his game than just a poacher. I think thats what we lack up top...someone with real pace to play on the shoulder of a CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 24 January, 2011 Share Posted 24 January, 2011 Fear not, there is still a few spaces left on the bus for incoming passengers - and we may have to make an unscheduled stop in Woolwich for one passenger So Connelly is going to Charlton then. that wouldn't surprise me.

david in sweden Posted 24 January, 2011 Share Posted 24 January, 2011 According to Solent this morning we are hoping to sign him this week:- http://www.theposh.com/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10427~23201,00.html we need to do something . according to a dozen or more sites, AOC has the pen in his hand waiting to sign for Arsenal. Puncheon is on the way out after his verbal fracas with NA. Lallana and Hamamond both still out injured..for an indefinute period. any out there still think we don't need to buy ...?

Saint 76er Posted 24 January, 2011 Share Posted 24 January, 2011 Posh fan here - host of the un-official Posh fans podcast. We are now obviously all very worried that this deal may go through this week. If CMS goes then that is our promotion campaign out of the window.... the lad is a diamond and lots of Championships clubs are circling but are yet to come even close to what the club want. It will be a minimum of £2M plus add-on's for the club to even consider it, is what we understand. Of course, we could swop Punch to them as part of the deal. Posh have been quoting 2M for a while, but after the weekends events we have a player we may be shopping around as well as a somewhat urgent need for reinforcements. In which case we get CMS for less cash outlay and Posh get a "star" player to appease their fans for the loss of their best player. CMS looks really good and would give us pace up front and goals. He was formerly with D+R so Les Reed may be involved in this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry the Badger Posted 24 January, 2011 Share Posted 24 January, 2011 any out there still think we don't need to buy ...? Of course if we lose two players we need to replace them. I don't think anybody ever tried to suggest otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 24 January, 2011 Share Posted 24 January, 2011 Back on topic....CMS would be an excellent signing. Just the kind of striker we've been crying out for, a goal poacher. Quick, clever and a good finisher. Can't help but feel that £2m is steep though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSFC Posted 24 January, 2011 Share Posted 24 January, 2011 £2 million may seem steep but even if he cost more we would be getting a very good player. Just coming into his prime age and with promotion the aim we would be getting an exciting goalscorer who has already played in The Championship (and scored 11 goals in a relegated side). If we can get him brilliant!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K,Billy's supersound Posted 24 January, 2011 Share Posted 24 January, 2011 better than barnard and guly imo and he would be well worth 2million if he came and helped us to gain promotion and stay in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 24 January, 2011 Share Posted 24 January, 2011 better than barnard and guly imo and he would be well worth 2million if he came and helped us to gain promotion and stay in the championship. From what I can gather he seems to be a natural two footer (if you know what I mean). This is something we really miss in our front men.All professional footballers should be at relative ease with both feet but we seem to have ignored this for a while now.Lallana is a real two footer and it makes an unimaginable difference.

Badger Posted 24 January, 2011 Share Posted 24 January, 2011 More importantly he fits the strategy of buying the opposition's best player. Peterborough have games in hand on us and can overtake us if they win them. We need them to tail off a bit, so nicking their goalscorer seems a good way to do it, and it would **** off a Ferguson - always a bonus. We should sign their GK as well whilst we're at it.
