saint_bert Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 I know that, i wasn't saying he would be worth anything near Carrol. But in the current market his price would still be crazy. Seems you only need 1 England game and half a season in the PL and your worth 30 odd million anyway
thornhill_saints Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 And? What's the moral? Sell all young talent early incase it turns out to be rubbish? Singular examples mean nothing in football because there are always countless on each side. Bale and Walcott went on to be worth more than we sold them for. IMO, chamberlain will too if we sell for 10m. Im sure we were linked to him on here, last season?
Pancake Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 I read somewhere that Adu was on a list of unemployed players.Probably something to do with his time at Monaco though.Didn't know he'd ever been signed by Benfica must be recent Benfica loaned him to Monaco!
Pancake Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Im sure we were linked to him on here, last season? I believe that was another Saint Stevo Special, like Janker, Koller Yakin et al.
Turkish Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 I can't wait to boo Forte. I was worried that we wouldn't have anyone to turn to if Punch left but now we have a new one. YES! I hope Puncheon doesn't move and stays with us rotting training with the youth team. teach him to be such a c*nt.
CWD Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 lol people are creaming themselves on twitter coz some joker changed wiki to say that we're signing Neymar! They probably all work for the echo
Ken Tone Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 I think this is an important question.... Adkins either rates him or he doesnt... Adkins sent him out on one loan spell in the 2008/9 season, when he scored 8 goals in 18 game for Notts County. 2009/10 season he was peripheral to the team, but has been a regular for Scunny since. (It doesn't take long to check Scunny's web page) So I'd say Adkins saw him as a young player learning his trade, who has done just that.
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 We are now being linked with Rafael Sobis. Oh dear.
Pancake Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Sorry to veer OT, but Blackpool are in talk with Kornilenko from ZSP as well as Beattie|? Surely on of their strikers is on the way out...
JRM Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 if we do sign him how about we sing - Jonathan Forte baby, Jonathan Forte wwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….. ?
Saint_clark Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Sorry to veer OT, but Blackpool are in talk with Kornilenko from ZSP as well as Beattie|? Surely on of their strikers is on the way out... That or Holloway is just getting overexcited.
SaintNeil90 Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Sorry to veer OT, but Blackpool are in talk with Kornilenko from ZSP as well as Beattie|? Surely on of their strikers is on the way out... So...
dubai_phil Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Sorry to veer OT, but Blackpool are in talk with Kornilenko from ZSP as well as Beattie|? Surely on of their strikers is on the way out... And I'm sure I heard Sky News say Holloway has taken Andy Reid from Sunderland to replace him...... PMSL Oh and on the Forte being loaned out argument, think you'll find by the criteria of that argument we don't rate Adam Lallana then, he went out on loan....
beatlesaint Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 He is backup to Lallana and AOC imo - exactly what we need with Holmes crocked and Puncheon away. At last a voice of reason and sense. He will be back up to those two, an "impact" player from the bench....and he is only 24 ffs !
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 ''Adkins recent 3 signings: Bignall, N'Guessan and soon Forte...Bit worrying really'' What a completely dim comment. We really do have some moron fans.
Pancake Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 So... Maybe Saints need a new striker... no more than that
Glasgow_Saint Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Guys just to confirm are we going to give Jonathan Forte a chance or boo him from day 1?
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Guys just to confirm are we going to give Jonathan Forte a chance or boo him from day 1? Boo him the first time he touches the ball if he arrives for free or on loan. Although if we sign him for 2.5m then we should cheer him as he'll be a marquee signing.
Window Cleaner Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Seems you only need 1 England game and half a season in the PL and your worth 30 odd million anyway Charlie Adam was worth virtually nothing until he started performing in the EPL.
SaintNeil90 Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Guys just to confirm are we going to give Jonathan Forte a chance or boo him from day 1? IF people boo him, they are pathetic.
SaintRichmond Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Im still stunned that Andy Carroll is valued at 35 million, and people are willing to pay it It's simple really If Torres was staying at Liverpool, they would not need a replacement, and Carroll would still be there, and worth circa £10M in gossip
Glasgow_Saint Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Boo him the first time he touches the ball if he arrives for free or on loan. Although if we sign him for 2.5m then we should cheer him as he'll be a marquee signing. If we sign him for 2.5m ill go mental - the guy is sh1t!!
Saint_clark Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 If we sign him for 2.5m ill go mental - the guy is sh1t!! I hope you're being ironic.
Thedelldays Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 If we sign him for 2.5m ill go mental - the guy is sh1t!! guess, we are booing him then..?
Matthew Le God Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 If we sign him for 2.5m ill go mental - the guy is sh1t!! How many games have you seen him play in person?
SaintNeil90 Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 If we sign him for 2.5m ill go mental - the guy is sh1t!! And I suppose you have watched Forte week in week out to come to this conclusion...
Saint Billy Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 I am sure Adkins knows Fortes true potential more so than us cyber pundits.
Thedelldays Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 ''Adkins recent 3 signings: Bignall, N'Guessan and soon Forte...Bit worrying really'' What a completely dim comment. We really do have some moron fans. just another example on how so many of us fans...simply do not have a clue...
Glasgow_Saint Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 How many games have you seen him play in person? who?
saint_bert Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Charlie Adam was worth virtually nothing until he started performing in the EPL. Whats your point?
CanadaSaint Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 It seems like there's a potential domino effect building with the big boys and we could see four or five blockbusters happen in quick succession. Meanwhile, back in the real world, I'd start to get a little nervous about our apparent inactivity if our League One rivals were more active, but they don't seem to be. Everything's relative.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Someones posted Fonte to Stoke on the BBC, fingers crossed it's a wind up.
Matthew Le God Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 who? The player the quote refers to. i.e. the player you called "****e", Jonathan Forte.
Thedelldays Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Newcastle reject new offer (from liverpool) for carroll
Saint Charlie Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Forte sounds similar to Antonio, pacy but lacking composure. We would all have loved to have Antonio back....
Glasgow_Saint Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 We do seem to like to sign players (recently) that make us worse rather than better? Soccer suicide maybe?
Thedelldays Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 We do seem to like to sign players (recently) that make us worse rather than better? Soccer suicide maybe? lol, glad you are back
Window Cleaner Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Whats your point? that playing in the EPL boosts transfer fees on a logarithmic scale.
Matthew Le God Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 We do seem to like to sign players (recently) that make us worse rather than better? Soccer suicide maybe? I'll ask again. How many times have you seen Forte play?
Saint_clark Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 We do seem to like to sign players (recently) that make us worse rather than better? Soccer suicide maybe? Ah. I see. The bait you used this time round was a little too obvious for most of the fish here. I'll ask again. How many times have you seen Forte play? But clearly not this one
Glasgow_Saint Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 I'll ask again. How many times have you seen Forte play? Too many times baby
Appy Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 We do seem to like to sign players (recently) that make us worse rather than better? Soccer suicide maybe? Yeah Chaplow,Guly, Butterfield, Dickson, Richardson, Barnard, Fonte. Terrible.
saint_bert Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 that playing in the EPL boosts transfer fees on a logarithmic scale. They should increase them sure. But 35 million plus add ons!
Lord Duckhunter Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 comment by ironite (U14423177) posted 1 Hour Ago Comparing Forte with Woolford....one has pace but no footballing brain or composure, one has no pace but genuine quality on the ball....pretty clear that Bristol are getting the better player here. I'm very surprised to be honest, but perhaps Forte will do a better job down south. Bigger pitch for a start, he won't get many games as a striker I'd wager. But I recall Adkins saying Forte had the potential to be an England international so he obviously rates him. Scunny poster on 606, according to him NA rates him.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Ah. I see. The bait you used this time round was a little too obvious for most of the fish here. But clearly not this one No bait - are u not concerned? Linked to Austin, CMS ect but sign the likes of Bignall, N'Guessan and maybe Forte? We are/were the ManCity of L1?
whizz Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 http://www.thisiss****horpe.co.uk/sport/Southampton-closing-Jonathan-Forte/article-3163738-detail/article.html sorry if already posted...
Ashby Saint Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 BBC are suggesting that Huddersfield have had a bid for Adam Le Fondre rejected. He would be a good signing for them.
Saint Charlie Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 Huddersfield bid rejected for Le Fondre. They collect strikers like they are going out of fashion.
Appy Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 http://www.thisiss****horpe.co.uk/sport/Southampton-closing-Jonathan-Forte/article-3163738-detail/article.html sorry if already posted... I've missed the links to that site. They never work.
saint_stevo Posted 31 January, 2011 Posted 31 January, 2011 I believe that was another Saint Stevo Special, like Janker, Koller Yakin et al. Mwoooohahaha Dont forget Junior Agogo
