Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Hearing rumours that Dickson may part of the Baldock deal. Anyone else heard this? This is Dickson's last entry on twitter: "Appreciate the support guys!! We will have to see what happens #crazygame"
hypochondriac Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 how on earth do you know it was burnley and blackpool bidding for cork....did you know that ipswich tried to get lambert a few weeks/months back...? im sure many clubs bid for players and the public never find out He used him as an example of a player who was linked to various clubs. he was linked to those two and I saw no links to clubs of a higher standing than ourselves.
derry Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 It seems Gold/O'Sullivan are putting in about £3m a month shoring up the finances and need to sell Parker to Tottenham to help the finances. Allardyce has never seemed to be too bothered about spending money and paying ridiculous salaries (Nolan). It wouldn't surprise me to see salary being the clincher as WHU seem to have no structure. Looks like another Pompey saga in the pipeline.

This is Dickson's last entry on twitter: "Appreciate the support guys!! We will have to see what happens #crazygame" Their skipper Lewington is a left back. Rumour has it on loan to Rochdale.
Saint Garrett Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Dickson to play LM for them then? He's certainly capable.
Badger Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Their skipper Lewington is a left back. Rumour has it on loan to Rochdale. Is he the "wotsit" ?
Pilchards Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Is it time to get Lucy Pinder in to help us tie up some deals?
Saint Garrett Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 simonpeach Simon Peach #LCFC striker Martyn Waghorn is a more realistic target for #SaintsFC & further down the line than MK Dons' Sam Baldock, as I understand it.
Give it to Ron Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 (edited) I get the feeling the Baldock move wont happen now after the excitement of last night - seems a few on the MK Dons board jumped the gun Edited 26 August, 2011 by Give it to Ron double post

This is Dickson's last entry on twitter: "Appreciate the support guys!! We will have to see what happens #crazygame" If they take Dickson too it will be deal of the season...
Saint Garrett Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Is it time to get Lucy Pinder in to help us tie up some deals? I reckon so......
saintscottofthenortham Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 If they take Dickson too it will be deal of the season... How many times have you seen Dickson play?
Alain Perrin Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 This is getting stupid. We never seem to be able to get our targets lately. I dont think west ham our a bigger club just prob have more money at the mo. Considering we sold chambo we should have loads tho. Sorry anyone who thinks Saints are bigger club than WHU needs their head checking.
Badger Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 baldock would be a cracking signing Highly rated,and currently considered a good prospect , but why is he considered such a good potential signing ? I did not see anything remarkable last season at St Mary's despite his goal. I'm not doubting your opinion btw, just intrigued as to what he offers, at 5'7" he certainly won't be challenging RL for a place, but joining several who might partner him up front.
capitalsaint Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Sorry anyone who thinks Saints are bigger club than WHU needs their head checking. Don't forget he's claiming that debt-laden WHU have money at the mo. Great post Roger, tell it how it REALLY is!!!!!!
buctootim Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Randoms on twitter reckon he has signed for WH.
SB Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Hurry up and sign a striker Atkins! Lambert and DC & and Barnard alone can't get us the goals for promotion.
capitalsaint Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Are you on his PM list? He just sent a very interesting message- apparently WHU have doubled our wage offer! Typical. Yet again, JustMike is bang on the money.
Royce2uk Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Hurry up and sign a striker Atkins! Lambert and DC & and Barnard alone can't get us the goals for promotion. Who is Atkins??
thornhill_saints Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Randoms on twitter reckon he has signed for WH. From a MKDons forum Looks like he has gone to West Ham. Good luck, hope he does well. Be playing along side an old school mate of mine in Jack Collison. Could be playing in the Premiership next year aswell. Great move!
capitalsaint Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Who cares? Waghorn's four goals will be better anyway.
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Hurry up and sign a striker Atkins! Lambert and DC & and Barnard alone can't get us the goals for promotion.It makes me cringe when our own fans can't even spell our managers name correctly.
Saint Charlie Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Waghorn would also be good, he is part of a strong Eng u21 squad.
buctootim Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 From a MKDons forum Looks like he has gone to West Ham. Good luck, hope he does well. Be playing along side an old school mate of mine in Jack Collison. Could be playing in the Premiership next year aswell. Great move! They also say Baldock's 18 year old brother George is the better player. Mebbe we should have a second look around.
georgeweahscousin Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 All the evidence is pointing to West Ham now. Seems they have gazumped us financially....
Royce2uk Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 It makes me cringe when our own fans can't even spell our managers name correctly. Fans??? To be fair to the lad he appears to have trouble grasping the concept of English language.
Dig Dig Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Hurry up and sign a striker Atkins! Lambert and DC & and Barnard alone can't get us the goals for promotion. Yea! We can't rely on Lambert and DC and Barnard and Guly and Lallana and also possibly Hammond and Chaplow and De Ridder to get us goals for promotion can we!?
Tokyo-Saint Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 I reckon so...... According to her facebook page she is an Arsenal fan. The truth is her page is probably updated by some intern an Lucy deep down doesn't give two sh!ts about any football team. She just goes with the flow like most women.
krissyboy31 Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Just on SSN. Baldock expected to have a medical at WHU shortly.
Royce2uk Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Yea! We can't rely on Lambert and DC and Barnard and Guly and Lallana and also possibly Hammond and Chaplow and De Ridder to get us goals for promotion can we!? Don't be silly!! Only strikers are allowed to score goals. Surely you know this?
thorpie the sinner Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 To be fair, very hacked off now!! Waghorn, not wanted by another club won't cut it for me!! Faith in club, but not sure we are putting our money where our mouth is!
georgeweahscousin Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 To be fair, very hacked off now!! Waghorn, not wanted by another club won't cut it for me!! Faith in club, but not sure we are putting our money where our mouth is! Mixed feelings for me. Would have loved Baldock, but if the rumours are true and West Ham doubled our wage offer, what are we supposed to do? I like that our club is run with better financial responsibility these days. I don't think West Ham are....
Thedelldays Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 To be fair, very hacked off now!! Waghorn, not wanted by another club won't cut it for me!! Faith in club, but not sure we are putting our money where our mouth is! and where is our mouth, exactly..?
Saint J 77 Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Just on SSN. Baldock expected to have a medical at WHU shortly. Ok Next... who will be the next target to get 7 pages only not to sign?
Colinjb Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 To be fair, very hacked off now!! Waghorn, not wanted by another club won't cut it for me!! Faith in club, but not sure we are putting our money where our mouth is! No point overspending on a player who currently would compliment rather then directly improve on what we have. Would be extremely dissapointing to miss out on Baldock though, especially as he looks to have a bright future.
capitalsaint Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 apparently WHU have doubled our wage offer! Typical. Would have loved Baldock, but if the rumours are true and West Ham doubled our wage offer, what are we supposed to do? I like that our club is run with better financial responsibility these days. I don't think West Ham are.... Rumour that #whufc offered double the wages #saintsfc did for Baldock... Sorry JustMike- looks like your info got leaked.
Saint Charlie Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Waghorn not wanted by Leicester in the way we didn't want Dexter Blackstock - doesn't mean he is a bad player.
Saint Charlie Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Also Baldock could only really play up with Lambert, Waghorn could play with Connolly and Barnard too.
latter day saint Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 never mind. didn't want Ed Milliband playing for us anyway.
SuperSAINT Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 MKCitizenSport Simon Downes Charlie MacDonald will sign for Dons today. Still nothing official regarding Baldock, but we think an announcement will come shortly #MKDons
BILLY Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 I know we need to be patient but it is really frustrating missing out on all these players - but all for good reasons apart from Gorkss.
derry Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 It would be interesting to know in each case how much is bid up front. I see we paid £359k to agents last season.
Royce2uk Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Im still not convinced a striker is what we really need. especially if its going to cost us an arm and a leg. I would rather put all my focus into bringing a decent CB in.
MOSaint Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 He's made his choice, we move on. If the club want to compete with the West Hams of this league who are willing to risk going into admin or worse by spending their way to promotion, we'd have to start throwing about silly wages and it's just not worth it. Especially when it comes to unproven players like Baldock.
georgeweahscousin Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Sorry JustMike- looks like your info got leaked. The last two are both me, and I didn't get it from here, the person who told me might have though, but an MK Dons fan.
dubai_phil Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Mixed feelings for me. Would have loved Baldock, but if the rumours are true and West Ham doubled our wage offer, what are we supposed to do? I like that our club is run with better financial responsibility these days. I don't think West Ham are.... Not necessarily only "Financial Priudence" We have a happy squad, all signed on contracts that they are also happy with. That will be our great base to build on this season. Start bringing in outsiders to better the team they'll be happy. Start bringing outsiders in who are on Double The Money but "haven't proven their worth at THAT level yet" - recipe for dissent and disaster. The team will all be working together to earn PL level wages, bring in some "Johnny Come Lately" who's already on them - no thanks Never underestimate the Mental Side of football (and that includes other bankrupt (ish) clubs doubling our wage offers)

krissyboy31 Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 I don't understand why people think buying footballers is any different to buying any other commodity? One has a value in mind, maybe try and get it for a little less. If not, one goes up to that valuation but if that is not enough to get the product, you go elsewhere. Doing business any other way is extremely irresponsible, whether one has sh!t loads of money in the bank or working to a strict budget.
Saint Garrett Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 Im still not convinced a striker is what we really need. especially if its going to cost us an arm and a leg. I would rather put all my focus into bringing a decent CB in. I don't see why these are mutually exclusive. I'm sure NA isn't naive enough to not bring in both. This is visible by the fact we've been interested in Gorkss, Jemal, Fontaine.....and Maynard, Rodriguez, Baldock. Atleast we have a manager who is targetting the areas which need strengthening rather than having someone like Burley in charge who loved midfielders and then playing them at full back !!!
capitalsaint Posted 26 August, 2011 Posted 26 August, 2011 The last two are both me, and I didn't get it from here, the person who told me might have though, but an MK Dons fan. JustMike is most source's source. He's at the epicentre.
