MOSaint Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 So far, we have been linked with: Kris Commons Tanadari Lee (confirmed) Nathan Delefounso *whatever it is Billy Sharp (denied) Andrew Driver Not sure who I'm missing. That feed that talked about Delfouneso also said we want Jay Bothroyd (although that feed is nonsense)
shurlock Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 Don't just sit there, go to Birmingham with some Nescafe. I hold back the red carpet and tin of gold roast for the big catches.
Crazy Diamond Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 I hold back the red carpet and tin of gold roast for the big catches. Do as you're told. I'll have a tea while you're there. Mind you, might be a bit cold by the time you get here.
Whitey Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Celtic confirmed we've enquired about Kris Commons now.

Chez Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 That feed that talked about Delfouneso also said we want Jay Bothroyd (although that feed is nonsense)Every time I've seen Delfonso he has been utter ****, Bothroyd on the other hand looked very good at Cardiff. Could we take him and DJ Cambell on loan till the end of the season please? Not a chance I know, but if you don't ask...
Chez Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Celtic confirmed we've enquired about Kris Commons now.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16450877.stm doesn't sound like he wants to sell, or he's doing he best to talk up the price. Someone posted several weeks ago we were after two foreign and one British based, so with the Dutch keeper still a possibility, that might be our transfer window sewn up?

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Apparently Cardiff have bid for Craig Noone.
S-Clarke Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Apparently Cardiff have bid for Craig Noone. But a pretty insulting bid, 250-300k.

SNSUN Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 TalkSport just said Sharp not playing today and available for £1.8 million. Seems like a move is imminent to a very lucky club.

InvictaSaint Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 TalkSport just said Sharp not playing today and available for £1.8 million. Seems like a move is imminent to a very lucky club. Given Adkins' comments yesterday, should we get our hopes up...?
Roger Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Given Adkins' comments yesterday, should we get our hopes up...? Adkins said that we werent interested.
Window Cleaner Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Adkins said that we werent interested. And we probably aren't. We have Tadanari San on line soon,Guly,Lambert and Connolly,we might all be pleasantly surprised by Doble this afternoon, even by AL playing in attack.I don't doubt that we will sign a supplementary striker but I don't see us paying a barrow load of cash for him nor giving him megabucks in guise of salary.Find young and improving candidates for a million and 10K'ish a week, that's where we should be looking.

Saints foreva Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 TalkSport just said Sharp not playing today and available for £1.8 million. Seems like a move is imminent to a very lucky club. Doncaster fans seem to think that Leicester had a £2m offer rejected.
Crazy Diamond Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Doncaster fans seem to think that Leicester had a £2m offer rejected. £2 million and £28k a week for a player who is just about proven at this level? That's a waste of money. Look at where Sharp has scored his goals - when he's carrying his teams, S****horpe and Doncaster. At Sheffield United he wasn't top dog and didn't get the goals. He wouldn't be first choice here. Could he cut it in the Premier League? I'm fairly sure if the consensus was that he could, he wouldn't be at Doncaster at all.
MerceSaint28 Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Im absolutely amazed no one has mentioned Ricardo Vaz Te....scored twice today and lots already this season. His contract is up in the summer...surely he would be an excellent signing?...young, pacey and scores goals...exactly what we need Also Matt Phillips would be an amzaing signing...can't help thinking they would want Punch and at least £3-4 mill but would be a fantastic long term investment
Saint_Jonny Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Simon Cox hat-trick for WBA vs Cardiff today..

SuperSAINT Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Been saying about Simon Cox for a while. Quality player at this level IMO.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Simon Cox hat-trick for WBA vs Cardiff today.. If we're looking for a finisher then Cox is a good option. Type of name we should be looking at, IMO, as he's better than we already have alongside Lambo.
thorpie the sinner Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Adkins said that we werent interested. When did he say that specifically?

Chez Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Every time I see Vaz Te I get the feeling he's got more luck than ability.I regularly used to suggest Vaz Te on the HCDAJFU threads three years ago. On the latest trip to Oakwell I have to say though that I was more impressed by Craig Davies (the fella they signed from Chesterfield) who was good in the air, had pace and has scored goals. I think Vaz Te only got ten minutes at the end and he caused us problems. As he has settled in he has done well up there.
itchen_dan Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Just about to have Adkins on Solent now. Lets see what he has to say about any transfers.
badgerx16 Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Just about to have Adkins on Solent now. Lets see what he has to say about any transfers. 2 or 3 more; not Kris Commons and Del Fonso was a very firm NO !
shirleysfc Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 NA: "might be every chance a major signing..." Interesting!
MOSaint Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Might be a couple, might be more than a couple Might be a small signing, a loan or a major signing. As always hes keeping his cards close to his chest.
corky morris Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Good one on Sky Sports Rumours (your rumours) site - Kenwyn Jones to return on loan until the end of the season!!!
SuperSAINT Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11688/7416076/Reading-offer-Kebe-new-deal Last chance saloon for them I'd guess.

View From The Top Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Leicester agree fee for Sharp apparently As I understand it, it's totally up to the player where he ends up as Donny have no choice but to accept any bid that ois equal to, or above the release fee in his contract.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 As I understand it, it's totally up to the player where he ends up as Donny have no choice but to accept any bid that ois equal to, or above the release fee in his contract. Surely noone is going to bid above the release clause?!
S-Clarke Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Surely noone is going to bid above the release clause?! To be honest, only Leicester would do that.
saint_stevo Posted 8 January, 2012 Posted 8 January, 2012 http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/celtic/2012/01/08/celtic-snub-southampton-as-they-move-for-star-striker-gary-hooper-86908-23687713/
S-Clarke Posted 8 January, 2012 Posted 8 January, 2012 Didn't think we'd stand much chance of getting Hooper, they don't want to loose him and he's pretty happy up there.
Saint Charlie Posted 8 January, 2012 Posted 8 January, 2012 Hooper is better than Sharp or Maynard so good that we are targetting that sort of quality. Just got to seal one now, thats the hard bit!
hypochondriac Posted 8 January, 2012 Posted 8 January, 2012 We are clearly willing to spend then... The problem is though that there isn't much point going in for players if we don't actually get any of them...
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 8 January, 2012 Posted 8 January, 2012 Well if we want someone of Hooper's quality, ruling out a few of the Championship strikers we've been linked with, but we can't get him, who do we look to next?
Avenue Saint Posted 8 January, 2012 Posted 8 January, 2012 The problem is though that there isn't much point going in for players if we don't actually get any of them... So only put in bids for players who your crystal ball tells you, will be accepted? Such a thick troll!!!
hypochondriac Posted 8 January, 2012 Posted 8 January, 2012 Well if we want someone of Hooper's quality' date=' ruling out a few of the Championship strikers we've been linked with, but we can't get him, who do we look to next?[/quote'] Hopefully we test the waters beforehand as to the likelihood of a striker being allowed to go should we put a bid in.
Gorgiesaint Posted 8 January, 2012 Posted 8 January, 2012 The problem is though that there isn't much point going in for players if we don't actually get any of them... Okay I'll bite... ... so apart from helping to unsettle the player so that his current club will be more willing to sell in the future, increasing our profile to other players who may the sign, and helping push the cost up to another club if he signs for them, there really isn't much point. What did the Romans ever do for us....

doughnutman Posted 8 January, 2012 Posted 8 January, 2012 Hopefully we test the waters beforehand as to the likelihood of a striker being allowed to go should we put a bid in. And would you suggest we do that?
