Dalek2003 Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 You all seem very confident of maynard coming to Saints, can't see it myself, dream on !
The Kraken Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 You all seem very confident of maynard coming to Saints, can't see it myself, dream on ! Will you promise to stop being so utterly tedious, predictable and boring if he actually does?
Dalek2003 Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Will you promise to stop being so utterly tedious, predictable and boring if he actually does? Yes. This is not the hoddle debate.
scotty Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 You all seem very confident of maynard coming to Saints, can't see it myself, dream on ! Confident, no. Hopeful, possibly. As long as the manager genuinely wants him here and the chairman concurs then I'm pretty hopeful we'll sign him. We will find out soon enough.
Dr Who? Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 I think he will come to us, unless a premier league team want him.
CB Fry Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Oh my aching sides, wikipeople: Nicholas David "Nicky" Maynard (born 11 December 1986 in Winsford, Cheshire) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Portsmouth FC and currently lives in Portishead, Somerset. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicky_Maynard
sfc4prem Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 He'll be off to West ham, no doubt. Would be chuffed though if we did sign him.
Surrey Saint Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 'Maynard is coming' He isn't. Really, he isn't.
Appy Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 'Maynard is coming' He isn't. Really, he isn't. How do you know? Going from every tweet fourth_official has posted that i have read he is very much in the know. I expect you very much are not.
Saint J 77 Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 'Maynard is coming' He isn't. Really, he isn't. oh yes he is....oh no he isn't...he's behind you!!!! All these players we could potenially sign has become a bit of a pantomine hasn't it. I would love to see us sign Maynard, but until its confirmed on the OS I will put this one down as very unlikely as it seems far to good to be true.

I would love to see us sign Maynard, but until its confirmed on the OS I will put this one down as very unlikely as it seems far to good to be true. Fair comment. We will probably have another signing or two, and most likely they will be players nobody has even thought of in connection with us yet.
austsaint Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 C'mon !!! I want more good news Forecast to non league, Foxy signs, Morgan signs..... And now.......... Has Morgan's contract been extended? Hope so.
Saint_Ash Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 To be honest, if we spend 5m+ on a champ player with only 1 year left on his contract we're either very rich or very stupid. I hope it's the former. I bet 80% of the people jumping on the Maynard bandwagon had never heard of him until we were linked with him, in Nigel I trust though and if he wants Maynard and gets NC to spend big then I hope it pays off, I'm pretty clueless about him like most of the people on here about him, we can all look at stats but who's watched him, I bet most of the people getting excited here about him have seen nothing but figures on a website.

To be fair with regards to the £5m, most Burnley fans think he's worth far more and he's only 22. Looks like a cracking prospect.
Lazlo78 Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Fourth_Official Fourth Official Robbie Keane should wrap up a move to #LCFC in the next week, Maynard is a no go for the Foxes
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Fourth_Official Fourth Official Robbie Keane should wrap up a move to #LCFC in the next week, Maynard is a no go for the Foxes Good if they're out of the running for Maynard but what a singing Keane would be.
ericofarabia Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Good if they're out of the running for Maynard but what a singing Keane would be. Would prefer somebody who could score goals than belt out a good karaoke tune
dubai_phil Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Would prefer somebody who could score goals than belt out a good karaoke tune Oi. Some people can do both - I used to score loads of goals from right midfield for The Coote Arms back in the day..
Reynoldson!! Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 From Wiki: 'Nicholas David "Nicky" Maynard (born 11 December 1986 in Winsford, Cheshire) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for his own club, the Nicky Maynard Experience and currently lives in Portishead, Somerset.' Sounds like he will be a team player then!
JustMike Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 To be fair with regards to the £5m, most Burnley fans think he's worth far more and he's only 22. Looks like a cracking prospect. burnley fans can think what they like, he plays for bristol city
revolution saint Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Any updates on this?? Yep apparently fourth official reckons we're in for both rodriguez and maynard....tweeted a couple of mins ago.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Fourth_Official Fourth Official Southampton are progressing on a move to bring Jay Rodriguez to the club, Nicky Maynard is also a target, they want both players #Saintsfc Just asked this guy for an update and this is what he tweeted himself...
Wadge Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Surely we wouldn't buy both, that would be about 8 million, and we would have about 6 strikers.
Smirking_Saint Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Surely we wouldn't buy both, that would be about 8 million, and we would have about 6 strikers. Why not ? We already have 5 left backs
sussexsaint Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Surely we wouldn't buy both, that would be about 8 million, and we would have about 6 strikers. And P*mpey could only manage 2 outfield players on thebench the other night *smug mode activated*
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Can you imagine having both of them? FU CK!
SamKimish Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Surely we wouldn't buy both, that would be about 8 million, and we would have about 6 strikers. True, but one is injury prone and one could be facing a prison sentence. Guly can play out right so that leaves only Lambert as a dedicated forward. Admittredly, I'm stretching the truth quite a bit here but I would love nothing more than to see Jay-Rod and The Nicky Maynard Experience snapped up by Southampton.
S-Clarke Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 that would cost us up to £10m to get both of those, taking our spending this summer to around £13/14m unreal
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 that would cost us up to £10m to get both of those, taking our spending this summer to around £13/14m unreal Net spend of £0 though, but wage bill significantly increased.
saintmatt Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Could this be a strategy? Appear to go for both and use the "well, we'll just go for Rodriguez/Maynard [delete as appropriate] if you're going to quote us a ridiculous price" line if they ask too much? Another NC masterstroke, what a guy.
SuperSAINT Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Both Rodriguez & Maynard signing would be insane... Maybe NA see's Rodriguez playing as a winger
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Must admit I like the look of Jay Rod. Spent a few mins reading the Burnley forum - they rate him extremely highly indeed. Fingers crossed.
sussexsaint Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Net spend of £0 though' date=' but wage bill significantly increased.[/quote'] we are owned by billionaires
sussexsaint Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Must admit I like the look of Jay Rod. Spent a few mins reading the Burnley forum - they rate him extremely highly indeed. Fingers crossed. Their media guy has tweeted that he is NOT for sale and that apparently came from the chairmans mouth! However money talks I guess
s0108787 Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Let's not forget that the ultimate plan is to have this club run sustainably. We should not go down the route the skates did and the route that West Ham may well end up taking. Frankly, until we were linked with him i had never heard of Maynard. I would prefer that we do shrewd good value business that is sustainable in the long term than throw money at players that are a minor improvement on what we have. It wouldn't suprise me if we didn't make any "massive" signings until the January window as the team we have can, and i believe will, hold its own.
Matthew Le God Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Frankly, until we were linked with him i had never heard of Maynard. I would prefer that we do shrewd good value business that is sustainable in the long term than throw money at players that are a minor improvement on what we have. What makes you think Maynard is only a "minor improvement"? You admit yourself that you hadn't heard of him, yet he is a well established Championship striker.
SaintDan Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Lee Barnard, Barnard, Hes short and he's f**king hard! He got dropped for Nicky Maynard Lee Barnard, Barnard
Big_Bald_Si Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 What makes you think Maynard is only a "minor improvement"? You admit yourself that you hadn't heard of him, yet he is a well established Championship striker. Those note knowing who he is should check out a few of his goals last season - he looks a cracking player, get on youtube
CanadaSaint Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 I'm in two minds about Maynard. I haven't seen much of him but plenty of good minds on here rate him highly. My worry is that if he's to come here for the kind of fee being discussed, they have to negotiate a longer term contract with him. Here's where the Club's salary structure could be challenged, and that could create some resentments that could damage the great chemistry we seem to have in the dressing room. I guess that's going to happen sooner or later but it's still a rather worrying prospect.
lethallee Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Could this be a strategy? Appear to go for both and use the "well, we'll just go for Rodriguez/Maynard [delete as appropriate] if you're going to quote us a ridiculous price" line if they ask too much? Another NC masterstroke, what a guy. Exactly
Saint_Ash Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 If we get both I can see it being a case of replacing Rickie and Conners when we get to the Prem and they will be out strike force. Love the fact we're getting youngster in that will will be a massive force to be reckoned with in 3+ years time when we're challenging for top 10 in the prem!
Smirking_Saint Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Their media guy has tweeted that he is NOT for sale and that apparently came from the chairmans mouth! However money talks I guess Chamberlain wasn't for sale, nor was Fabregas, Nasri, Ronaldo etc etc
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Their media guy has tweeted that he is NOT for sale and that apparently came from the chairmans mouth! However money talks I guess Yeas I read that. They also mentioned that he tweeted the same thing about Chris Eagles and another player the day before they were both sold!
EBS1980 Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Their media guy has tweeted that he is NOT for sale and that apparently came from the chairmans mouth! However money talks I guess Didn't they say on their website that they would only sell players if the offers was for a higher amount than they valued them at?
St.Patrik Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Nor was Walcott and Bale ...Look how that turned out....London yobbos or what RL called Spuds? Chamberlain wasn't for sale, nor was Fabregas, Nasri, Ronaldo etc etc
revolution saint Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 On the face of it signing both Rodriguez and Maynard would seem to be mental but Rodriguez can play out wide, or we could play a front three. The other thing is Lambert definitely wouldn't be a guaranteed starter and I suppose we all accept he is at the moment. Still can't see that we'll end up getting both though......
saint lard Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 I would wet myself if we purchased both Maynard and Jay Rod.
Dalek2003 Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Just heard that Leicester have lost out on him and we're getting him. That's from a Leicester City contact. Really ? Must have got his SAT NAV on the cheap then because he like many others touted, has not appeared.
