itchen_dan Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 I wonder what Adkins would say if a player ever does reject us? I doubt if we had a significant bid accepted that it was us who walked away from any deal. Why not? Peterborough did it the other day with Sam Baldock. Maybe his demands were too high or Adkins realised he could get a better deal elsewhere.
itchen_dan Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Haha Adkins confirms Puncheon not going on Pre season trips!!
Minty Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 jordansibley - "Adkins also confirms that Saints have the only accepted bid on the table for Chelsea midfielder Jack Cork. #saintsfc"
S-Clarke Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 This is one of the best press conf's Adkins has ever done!
Colinjb Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 I wonder what Adkins would say if a player ever does reject us? I doubt if we had a significant bid accepted that it was us who walked away from any deal. The bid gave us the right to talk to the player. I'm sure we would have been keen to see if his attitude was right and could blend with the squad.
S-Clarke Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 The bid gave us the right to talk to the player. I'm sure we would have been keen to see if his attitude was right and could blend with the squad. TBF Adkins should have known the lads personality and attitude from the off anyway, seeing as he worked with him for a few years.

Maybe Sharp went back to Donny and made out that turned us down rather than the other way around to become a hero and everybody now loves him etc??
sussexsaint Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Maybe they realised they had a chance of someone else, . Glad you wrote this as that was exactly my first thought
sussexsaint Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 TBH I'm amazed theya re being so upfront about offers accepted etc can't remember that happening before
Tac-tics Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Some one put up what's been said!?! Is it on Solent?
Colinjb Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 TBF Adkins should have known the lads personality and attitude from the off anyway, seeing as he worked with him for a few years. True, nonetheless these things are always a two way process. For whatever reason the move didn't materialise so best to move on from it.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Maybe Sharp went back to Donny and made out that turned us down rather than the other way around to become a hero and everybody now loves him etc?? The old Eddie Howe trick.
S-Clarke Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 where are you listening to this? I'm following it on twitter.
Matthew Le God Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Some one put up what's been said!?! Is it on Solent? where are you listening to this? At the moment everyone is using these Twitter accounts to hear details... BBC's Tony Husband Saints Spokesman Jordan Sibley BBC Radio Solent Official Saints Twitter It'll be on BBC TV and Radio reports later, and most likely as a video on Saints Player.
Wade Garrett Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 jordansibley - "Adkins also confirms that Saints have the only accepted bid on the table for Chelsea midfielder Jack Cork. #saintsfc" Would be a decent signing. He could be waiting for other offers though.
EBS1980 Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 If it was us that pulled out of the Sharp deal i'd say it's likely there is someone else lined up instead then surely?!
NickG Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 So, those moaning club skint and doing nothing - Without any offer for ox We had 4m bids accepted, would that make us biggest spenders in div?
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 The wording of the Official Saints tweet about Cork sounds to me as if he's expected to sign: Adkins confirms a bid has been accepted for jack cork. #saintsfc
Foxstone Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 If it was us that pulled out of the Sharp deal i'd say it's likely there is someone else lined up instead then surely?! Yep, and I hope it is Maynard..
S-Clarke Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 So, those moaning club skint and doing nothing - Without any offer for ox We had 4m bids accepted, would that make us biggest spenders in div? It would quadruple what leicester city have spent so far
S-Clarke Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 The wording of the Official Saints tweet about Cork sounds to me as if he's expected to sign: Adkins confirms a bid has been accepted for jack cork. #saintsfc Pretty much expect this to be a done deal. We never annouce officially until we're almost there. + we're the only club that have actually had permission to speak to him and his agent.
NickG Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Lambert wants to end his career with saints. Haven't heard a player say that for years. Jaidi?
bigchrisy Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Fantastic conference so far. Starting to belive we've got one of the best managers in our division.
Tac-tics Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 sorry have I missed something? SSN reporting Arsenal open talks with Chambo :s
Matthew Le God Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 sorry have I missed something? SSN reporting Arsenal open talks with Chambo :s Possibly the same sources that told the Daily Mirror that Chamberlain had signed for Arsenal on 9th June and would definitely join on 1st July. You should trust Adkins more than Sky or the tabloids. He has given us little reason not to do so, Sky and the tabloids have given plenty!
Saint Charlie Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 One of the few good journalists on Twitter just posted that he has heard Cork to Soton and that although he expects Arsenal to sign Chamberlain there are no talks at the moment.
hypochondriac Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Fantastic conference so far. Starting to belive we've got one of the best managers in our division. He talks a good game now has to get the quality players in and get results in a tough division.

Probably just listening to the press conference! What's his name on Twitter? Sounds worth a follow.

Alanh Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 I wonder what Adkins would say if a player ever does reject us? I doubt if we had a significant bid accepted that it was us who walked away from any deal. So you can't imagine a scenario where Donny accepted our bid, we went to the player and his demands were such that we felt it was not worth continuing the discussion? Adkins might be painting a picture that reflects better on the club but it's equally or IMO more likely that he is essentially describing the scenario I have suggested above.
OldNick Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 I wonder what Adkins would say if a player ever does reject us? I doubt if we had a significant bid accepted that it was us who walked away from any deal. any chance that NC didnt like the way it was dealt with by Donny?
Lighthouse Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Lambert wants to end his career with saints. Haven't heard a player say that for years. I think Pulis beat him to it.
Greenridge Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Lambert wants to end his career with saints. Haven't heard a player say that for years. Ali Dia said it too
Matthew Le God Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Video of part of the interview... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13992770.stm Whole thing will be on Saints Player later.

Thedelldays Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Money has been put in the table?? From the family perhaps??
S-Clarke Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 "The majority of deals in this transfer window are done towards the end of July and in August. The deals that are done earlier are probably done because Clubs are desperate to build a whole team, we have a whole team and we are just trying to hand pick one or two or three to enhance the group that we have got and make us better." To the people panicking - read that. To people thinking we need an entirely new team, we don't. We can wait until august 31st for all I care, as long as we get the required quality.
shurlock Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 "The spirit amongst the lads is great and you can't buy that" Priceless
Daren W Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 "The majority of deals in this transfer window are done towards the end of July and in August.

FFS, it really annoys me that people over look the ability of a team to get results. Yes this side is a League One outfit but I believe we were a mid table Championship side last season. People forget we beat Blackpool (albeit a reserve team but a Premier League reserve team) and took Man Utd to the wire. one or two quality signings and I think we'll be contesting for palyoff place..

Don't forget the Skates match. We have a great squad already, only need a few additions to make it a playoff/promotion side.
Matthew Le God Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 11 minute video of the interview now on Saints player.
St_Tel49 Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Maybe it will be to announce that Skacel has signed This joke is so worn it no longer exists
egg Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 This joke is so worn it no longer exists Agreed. The mention of the word skakel should result in a lifetime ban.
