Saint-Armstrong Posted 29 November, 2011 Posted 29 November, 2011 "Arsenal city tonight - then 11.45pm train to Southampton to get this josi deal wrapped up." - Carl Thomas, SEG Agency - representatives of Jos Hooiveld. http://twitter.com/#!/CarllthomasSEG
the saint in winchester Posted 29 November, 2011 Posted 29 November, 2011 I hope this is the case ... but at the risk of being pedantic, there is no 11:45pm train out of Waterloo tonight. There is one at 00:05, gets into SOT at 01:38, but hey, who will be around at that time to sign contracts???
itchen_dan Posted 29 November, 2011 Posted 29 November, 2011 Very good!! Has been brilliant and been better than Fonte the majority of the time. He would be more than good enough IMO to make the step up with us if we make it.
ant Posted 29 November, 2011 Posted 29 November, 2011 I hope this is the case ... but at the risk of being pedantic, there is no 11:45pm train out of Waterloo tonight. There is one at 00:05, gets into SOT at 01:38, but hey, who will be around at that time to sign contracts??? None at that time from London Victoria either. The plot thickens!
Window Cleaner Posted 29 November, 2011 Posted 29 November, 2011 None at that time from London Victoria either. The plot thickens! There's no plot, in earlier "tweets" he speaks of Southampton on Wednesday.No doubt catching the train tonight,hotel somewhere and along to SMS(or wherever) tomorrow early on..
yorkie Posted 29 November, 2011 Posted 29 November, 2011 We all know now it is open knowledge the deal won't go ahead!
Miltonaggro Posted 29 November, 2011 Posted 29 November, 2011 Perhaps he is going via the Orient Express?...
ant Posted 29 November, 2011 Posted 29 November, 2011 There's no plot, in earlier "tweets" he speaks of Southampton on Wednesday.No doubt catching the train tonight,hotel somewhere and along to SMS(or wherever) tomorrow early on.. Yeah, post made in jest. Fingers crossed Jos will be officially announced as a permanent signing very soon.
Window Cleaner Posted 29 November, 2011 Posted 29 November, 2011 Yeah, post made in jest. Fingers crossed Jos will be officially announced as a permanent signing very soon. 3rd January I guess.
ant Posted 29 November, 2011 Posted 29 November, 2011 This place is hard work today A deal can be announced early though, right? With the paperwork and formalities sorted when the window re-opens.

I suppose they could announce their intention to make the deal permanent, how did we do it with Chaplow last year, don't think it was officially announced until after the window re-opened.
SNSUN Posted 29 November, 2011 Posted 29 November, 2011 This place is hard work today A deal can be announced early though, right? With the paperwork and formalities sorted when the window re-opens. Didn't we announce the Chaplow deal before the January window had opened? Anyway, good news. Solid player and chipped in with a few goals too - lest I say he can even make the step up well should we get there, but if not, he'll continue to be a top nPC defender. Surprises me that Celtic were so impatient to give him a chance.

Just can't see us officially announcing this before 31 Dec or 1st Jan.

Just can't see us officially announcing this before 31 Dec or 1st Jan. How about a pre-transfer agreement? If Saints, Celtic and Jos all agree. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15844449.stm
DanW Posted 29 November, 2011 Posted 29 November, 2011 think we announced Chaplow either the 31st December or 1st January. It was announced on January 1st. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2254344,00.html

If Saints, Celtic and Jos all agree. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15844449.stm yes they can do all that sort of thing but Lustig still won't play for them until January. I think it's different when a player is already on loan with you,you just can't go public and broadcast a forthcoming deal even if it's common knowledge.You don't own a player until you have paid his transfer fee and that cannot happen until the paperwork is approved,so you say nothing and for saying nowt about owt SFC are the reigning world champions.
shurlock Posted 29 November, 2011 Posted 29 November, 2011 I hope this is the case ... but at the risk of being pedantic, there is no 11:45pm train out of Waterloo tonight. There is one at 00:05, gets into SOT at 01:38, but hey, who will be around at that time to sign contracts??? English is ambiguous but I suspect what he wants to say is that he'll get the 22.35 from Waterloo which arrives in Soton at around 23.45. Should just about be able to catch all the game at the emirates that way. Words in somebody else's mouth. Never.
the saint in winchester Posted 29 November, 2011 Posted 29 November, 2011 I like the explanation that he is getting a late train out of London tonight (at whatever time) to broker a deal in the morning (at whatever time). Said deal to be announced (at whatever time, on whatever day.) Just don't break a leg tonight, Jos, that would complicate the deal.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 29 November, 2011 Posted 29 November, 2011 There is an 11.47pm train from Clapham Jcn (which is outer London) to Southampton tonight. Could be this? Whatever his travel arrangements, it's promising news that Jos could soon be a permanent Saint. Fingers crossed!
Norm Posted 29 November, 2011 Posted 29 November, 2011 Not connected to Jos' signing but a little gossip from a pal at SMS is that the lad from Coventry is coming. Jan deal. Also a Far Eastern player (Japanese he thinks) shown around club. Could be just gossip but he has been correct in the past. (Ducks below parapet)

(Ducks below parapet) Would kind of explain Jutkiewicz's comment regarding speculation when asked about the move, which was pretty non-commital about staying at Cov. Interesting stuff. Hopefully, we'll get some good news about Jos today too.
Colinjb Posted 30 November, 2011 Posted 30 November, 2011 Didn't we announce the Chaplow deal before the January window had opened? If I remember correctly that news was leaked at a Preston North End fans forum around late November where the chairman stated that Chaplow's transfer had already been agreed. Although it wasn't officially confirmed until just before the window opened.
SnailOB Posted 30 November, 2011 Posted 30 November, 2011 I hope its good news because he certainly took his time leaving the pitch last night. Went round clapping the crowd as if it was his last ever game !
beatlesaint Posted 30 November, 2011 Posted 30 November, 2011 I hope its good news because he certainly took his time leaving the pitch last night. Went round clapping the crowd as if it was his last ever game ! He's always just about the last one off, didnt see any difference to be honest.
stu0x Posted 30 November, 2011 Posted 30 November, 2011 don't think so because that would make a mockery of the transfer window wouldn't it No it wouldn't. You can sign a deal whenever you want - the player just can't actually transfer to and play for the new club until the window is open. In a case like this, where the player is already at the new club on loan, it makes no physical difference - it just means that his registration will legally transfer from Celtic to Saints on the 1st of Jan.
Crazy Diamond Posted 30 November, 2011 Posted 30 November, 2011 Not connected to Jos' signing but a little gossip from a pal at SMS is that the lad from Coventry is coming. Jan deal. Also a Far Eastern player (Japanese he thinks) shown around club. Could be just gossip but he has been correct in the past. (Ducks below parapet) Could well be some truth in this - pre kick off Nigel was showing a guy around, stopped for photos by the pitch. He was suited and booted.
Mowgli Posted 30 November, 2011 Posted 30 November, 2011 It' Jozy not Josi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jozy_Altidore. NA is hoping he can knock them in for us as he did for Bursaspor (just joking btw...)

(Ducks below parapet) Could well be some truth in this - pre kick off Nigel was showing a guy around, stopped for photos by the pitch. He was suited and booted. I doubt that NA would be wandering around with a potential new recruit before the match and even less likely that they would have photos taken so publicly.
Matthew Le God Posted 30 November, 2011 Posted 30 November, 2011 I hope its good news because he certainly took his time leaving the pitch last night. Went round clapping the crowd as if it was his last ever game ! He does that every game.
jam Posted 30 November, 2011 Posted 30 November, 2011 He does that every game. Good attitude - takes nothing for granted.
sussexsaint Posted 1 December, 2011 Posted 1 December, 2011 I hope we get several signings in January that I am initially disappointed about as they usually turn out to be better acquisitions than the ones I celebrate ( Skacel, Delap, Prutton, Bernard etc etc)
