Nicky Maynard will sign

Welllllll, the difference is that delldays utterly made it up and knew it when he posted it, this bloke just passed off some nonsense on a feeble rumours site as his own information and might just be daft enough to believe it all.

 

Heh, only just noticed I was mentioned in your quote after I'd typed all the above.

 

Do you think that's the first time you've been described as interesting AND plausible?! ;)

Fine, you may not like it. And maybe Shane is pasting from that website, maybe he isn't.

 

I don't read websiotes like that, so if something is on there and it seems in some small way to be plausible, I don't think it's too much out of the usual to post it on here. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

 

There's no problem in highlighting that the OP has just cut and pasted from another site. But why go overboard, throw your toys out of the pram and demand that the thread be "locked immediately". Some people enjoy reading it, even if we know that it's probably 99% rubbish. And if it turns out to be true (which these things actually sometimes do) then we've all learnt something in advance.

 

So basically anyone can start a thread saying someone will sign no matter how implausible and how likely it has been just copied and pasted from football rumours (complete with spelling error.)

I think you know full well that's not what I'm suggesting.

 

I take your point that if he did lift from that other site (which appears very likely) he should not pass it off as his own, or "having a source". But if it's just a lift from another site, and actually has information regarding three transfers which, lets face it, have a better chance than not of actually happening (particularly Jemal and Puncheon), I really don't see the harm of it. It would be a bloody boring forum if this type of discussion was banned.

and editted! WE ARE MISSING SOMETHING HERE.. the full post actually said there will be a news conference today.

IMO the post on the rumour site has been posted by someone who is not a Saints fan.

AOC's spelling mistake and the general tone is that of someone that is plausible and knows a little of our club and it's dealings of late. It also speaks of a search for a keeper.

here it is in it's full glory

 

..................................................26 Jul 2011 10:26:19

Nick Maynard is at Southampton this morning for a medical before signing a 4 year deal.

Bristol City accepted the saints increased offer of £4.25m

Tunisian center back, Jemal has already signed last night for £1.4m.

Both will be announced at a news conference at 5pm this evening.

Puncheon will be leaving for Millwall on a 3 year deal, costing the London club £480k.

This will conclude all cash deals for Southampton, with Chamberlaine agreeing to stay for a further season.

It's understood that Southampton have agreed they sell him if they miss promotion this season.

Adkins will now concentrate on persuading Huddersfield to loan him keeper Smithies for the season with a view to purchase next June.........................................

 

 

I sincerely hope you are all adult enough to make up your own mind, if not, 5 pm is not that long to wait.

I think I have made my mind up lol! Saints don't have news conferences to announce signings, they would be on OS, also Sibbers would twitter if a signing was announced. They then have general press conferences to talk to player etc as with De Ridder, show photos etc! Still hope Jemall signs, but it will be known via normal media when it has been signed and sealed!

One thing everyone is missing. We made an offer which was accepted. It was Maynard who could not come to an agreement with Saints. Why would we make an improved offer to his club!!!

 

Total cows

 

 

really, I thought that was Sharp, never heard about an offer for Maynard being accepted.

Pretty sure that was Sharp. Either way I think both are overpriced and we should focus elsewhere.

Think you're getting mixed up with Billy Sharp aren't you?

 

Nicky Maynard has said numerous times this season that he won't be moving, and the City board have said they wouldn't sell for under £5m. I would say it is highly unlikely.

 

In other news I have heard we are looking at Jelle Vossen from Genk for £3.4m.

Let's hope he's slightly better / more committed than the last Jelle we bought.
