Pat from Poole Posted 15 June, 2011 Share Posted 15 June, 2011 Yeah, after those two signings I can see them doing a Newcastle Agreed. They'll still get 30,000 crowds for most games as well, they really should finish in the top two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint lard Posted 15 June, 2011 Share Posted 15 June, 2011 Skates make their first signing too,in Norris. Quite a few clubs are making their moves in the market.And some are fairly well established players. We do need to start to show some intent in my veiw.Lets not stand still while others move forward now in preperation for the coming season.

There is time and we don,t know what is going on behind the scenes,just rather we were active tbh than not a sniff of anything concrete.I know we are more hush hush than previously but a bit of reassurance that we are actively seeking a good calibre of player would not go amiss,especially with other clubs moving fairly swiftly. This is however a very important period for Adkins to prove he can lure the right players suitable for us in the NPC.the jury is out on that matter thus far,imo.

You won't get that anymore though, so anyone expecting bits of news to leak out is going to be disapointed. We've seen it in the last 2 transfer windows, it's players we've not even specualted about that you hear about maybe 1 or 2 hours before it's on the OS - up until then it's done as it should be. TBF Adkins and co have been on holiday, he's back now working in the BG....but managers don't interview at this sort of time, I can gaurentee that if they did one of the questions would be ''are you close to signing anyone?'' - and the response would be that there are are irons in the fire and we'll know when there is something to know..etc...

Strangely,it may well be an exciting time being a Hammers fan this season,considering their fall from grace so recently. I won't bother trying to quote all your other posts, from other threads, suffice to say, we are trying to run the club within our means. West Ham are over 100 million in debt, they are having to borrow money to keep running, is this the route you want Saints to follow, do you really want us to end up like those slimeballs down the road. Be realistic, we can't have players on 50 grand a week, it's not sustainable imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably showed enough in his time at Blackpool to start off a mini-bidding war (or so I'd like to think) Probably won't get a million for him, too hit and miss. Probably he'll return to Millwall and we'll take about 700K to get him off our hands.If he comes back to the group when the players return in a couple of weeks it will cause no end of trouble.

SuperMikey Posted 16 June, 2011 Share Posted 16 June, 2011 (edited) Also some good possible signings from that released list: James McFadden - Can play on the wings or up front. Massively experienced, still a great player at Prem level. Would be a hell of a coup but not unrealistic. Only possible downside would be wages. James O'Shea - Great young prospect, surprised Brum let him go. Right winger, he's been a regular in the ROI youth teams for about 7 or 8 years. Would be good cover on the wings, could even push for First XI. Joey O'Brien - Very steady centre midfielder. Quite similar to Chaplow in his play, but more polished (and frankly, better). Leeds are heavily interested but I reckon we'd have a good chance of securing him. Jan Sebek - Good young goalkeeper. He's ferking massive, seen him play in a pre-season friendly with a Chelsea XI and he doesn't take any sh!t. Far better 3rd choice keeper than Forecast. John Pantsil - Would immediately solve our RB problem. Would be on big wages, but excellent going forward and very solid defensively. Experienced at Prem level too. Nikola Saric - Quick young striker. Can also play in an attacking midfield position. Would be good back-up considering we have very little aside from Lambert, Barnard, Guly and Connolly. Shaleum Logan - Big strong RB. A bit raw, but there's potential there for him to be very good. Probably better than either of our current RBs anyway. Holmar Eyjolfsson - Can play in defence or midfield. Very versatile, steady and consistent. Young too, and has the potential to progress a lot. Already flirting with the fringe of the Icelandic national team. Edited 16 June, 2011 by SuperMikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
