There's no way you can positively identify any of the people in that picture. They're all tiny, blurry and facing away from the camera. Anyone know where this was taken?

 

 

 

Would be hilarious if it was some elaborate, staged wind up but it's unlikely. Get on board.

Now

will any of our players be going the other way?

 

Don't think so. From what everyone has said they wanted Chaplow, but Chaplow wanted to give it a shot here so it's a straight cash deal. I imagine we'd have paid less of Chaplow was included etc.

Really hope the deal's been done but could the pic be of a different deal we've done recently?

 

Doubt it seeing as pretty much most people saying Jay signed today, if THEVMAN says it - it's done.

 

A tall, slim tanned guy witha saints scarf around his neck - Jordan Sibley present, on the day that we were rumoured to have signed Rodriguez....

Modding is on a pre-season break. We promise to up our performance to Premier League standards by August ;)

 

Generally I would agree with you ART, but it has kept a bit of interest going in the absense of any news. It now seems we are moving back on topic but point taken.

 

Delighted to read your assurances and also the good new as with a return to topic. It's high time we returned to the top quality posting as I'm sure a lot of others who've been put off by the same old individuals highjacking threads and talking nonsense.

 

Well to Saints Jay Rodriguez, just the quality we need to go forward in the Premier League.

I think that even if it wasn't priority, it was too good of an opportunity to turn down i think. He was available at a price that will only rise over the next few years and was seen as more of a clever investment i think.

 

Now thats sorted, we can spend more time getting the right players for other positions. JR was obviously a top target and now we can work through a shortlist for other positions and do some more shrewd deals.

 

IMO we still have no player with the ability to do a job in the Premier. We have potential but nothing to hang your hat on. Whether j Rod will be seen as a good deal will mainly come down to having forwards that can cut it in the Premier. I can't see that as yet, just the possibility. I still believe we have a definite need for a #1 striker for the Premier.

We will not sign another striker.

 

Jay Rodriguez, Rickie Lambert, Billy Sharp, Tanadari Lee, Guly Do Prado, Lee Barnard

 

Ok, none have played in the premier league but I can promise you that if we were still in the Champ alot of premiership clubs would be after Lambert, because they believe he can do a job at that level - and so do i. And more so for Jay, premier league clubs have been after him because they believe he can do a job in the premier league - which we have to believe to.

 

Having a group of players that are hungry and driven to prove themselves is much more rewarding than having a bunch of players who have already been there and done it. Not all will succeed, but I can promise you that we'll get lots of goals from a few of them next year.

bloke who posted the picture according to someone on 606 he's been sacked. bet he wished he had not bothered now.

 

I bet Cortese has already had him escorted, expect him to be locked in the St Mary's cells for the next 6 weeks.

You can understand why. Hardly very discrete for their customers if they leak the news. That and people at Nuffield Hospital and Barclays Wealth if rumours are to be believed.

 

The club would have had a plan to release the news which will likely now have to be changed.

To be fair to the lad, it's pretty stupid of the club to announce a record signing in the public grounds of a hotel. Anybody could've taken a photo if they wanted to.

I assume the club use that hotel and use it before to have a bit of privacy....which I am sure they have been guaranteed...or they may as well have taken the pictures out on above bar street

 

harsh on the lad if he gets sacked but this is a poor advert for a higher class hotel though

Hahaha, I went to college with the poster of the photo. He is now having a breakdown and is in very hot water!

 

Why would you delight in the misfortune of others?? Even if it was naive, I was glad to get some info!

I know I will be punished but I never meant any harm. To all parties involved I'm truly sorry. I'm just a kid. I'm so sorry'

 

:/

 

Got to say, not sure it would do any harm. Hopefully no one gets the sack! maybe a tralking to!

Congrats on being the first moan about our first signing of summer.

 

Have to say, Legod , I would have been disappointed to have drawn your name if such a sweepstake had existed. Alpine & Dalek will be heartbroken that you have taken their thunder quite so early.
