trousers Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 The Forte rumour is absolute rubbish. Source?
david in sweden Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Brighton apparently signing Jonathan Forte tomorrow after having £1m bid accepted!! Now there's a sensation for you ... If you're right ..you'll win the "Rumour of the Month Award" ... otherwise I'd keep your head down if I were you ...
david in sweden Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Forte isn't even worth 100k. Sssssssssssssssssssssshhh ! (for goodness sake keep your voice down !) I thought we were pushing our luck pricing JP out at £1 million, but ......
Window Cleaner Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Now 1 million for Fonte is the sort of offer Brighton might make.
Saint Garrett Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Now 1 million for Fonte is the sort of offer Brighton might make. Fonte ??
thorpie the sinner Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 On another note, in only my sons third pack of Championship match attax, we picked up the mighty Jose Fonte!!! he looked injury free which I am taking as a good sign lol!!!
Gordon Mockles Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Forgot to add, good to have a wide option back at the club as RW has been a weak link. It's great to read a genuine Saints article too. No dictation. No script. Just genuine, heart felt words held by a regretful athlete that loves our club deep down! Nicola's brilliant, he loves our club, he's never mean unless you're naughty, I was a silly sausage, I love the club really...or words to that effect! Lol No damage limitation or back peddling whatsoever! LMAO Excuse my cynical sense of humour but you have to laugh. Ultimately, it's about time something was resolved but sad it illustrates our lack of transfer funds available & I didn't realise Lee was a freebie. Great acquisition really but a sign that we're scrimping & the impression on our ambitions the club have worked very hard to create couldn't be further from the truth. Let's hope we just get back to winning ways but I'd love some defensive back up. Now, more so than a new striker. We look weak suddenly at the back. Sussed out in a phrase.

Saint-Armstrong Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Doncaster Chairman John Ryan says no new bids for Billy Sharp. - Rob Staton of the BBC
thorpie the sinner Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Mirror reporter stunned we havent made our move when player wants to come and we are interested! generally confused unless we have walked again!
MOSaint Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 The more that bloke talks, the more I think he doesn't have a clue.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 He tweeted me: "Sharp has a fixed fee. Saints willing to pay. Player ready to go. Saints waiting on something. I don't know what."
hypochondriac Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 He tweeted me: "Sharp has a fixed fee. Saints willing to pay. Player ready to go. Saints waiting on something. I don't know what." Not sure how he would know that.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Doncaster Chairman John Ryan says no new bids for Billy Sharp. - Rob Staton of the BBC Could be true. If we bid Tuesday or before & that was the only bid since Leicester, they've received no NEW bids...
hypochondriac Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 Could be true. If we bid Tuesday or before & that was the only bid since Leicester' date=' they've received no NEW bids...[/quote'] Clutching at straws.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 The more that bloke talks, the more I think he doesn't have a clue. On the Donny forum, VSC, they seem convinced the Mirror knows what's what at the Keepmoat. I reckon his info is all from the Donny side.
Wildgoose Posted 25 January, 2012 Posted 25 January, 2012 It seems four of Doncaster's Directors have resigned.........I wonder what about? Something related to Sharp?
thorpie the sinner Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 As we are playing on Tues, I would imagine our last day looking to buy new blood would be tomorrow or Monday at latest, depending on when cut off point to play on Tues is? could be an interesting couple of days!! We so need to beat Cardiff, if we do, I think our wobble will be over esp with players coming back to fitness! One striker, one defender and maybe a goalie please and promotion is ours, aimho of couse!
ibizasaint Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 I see that Wigan are saying they only made an informal enquiry about Maynard... I reckon the Don is waiting for the last minute to make his swoop.. get maynard on the cheap as Bristol will then be letting him go for nothing in the summer. All the other stuff has been a smokescreen to keep the fans/ media distracted.
Wildgoose Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 I have a feeling we'll pop up with one more quality signing at least.......or maybe that's just wishful thinking! :0)
Ken Tone Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 He tweeted me: "Sharp has a fixed fee. Saints willing to pay. Player ready to go. Saints waiting on something. I don't know what." If that is correct, the only logical explanation is that we have other irons in the fire ...maybe an ex-'Iron' in fact? ... and are waiting to decide which is the better deal. Brinkmanship ..may work well or may backfire if other clubs wade in at the last minute and nick players from under our noses.
Genk Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 He tweeted me: "Sharp has a fixed fee. Saints willing to pay. Player ready to go. Saints waiting on something. I don't know what." We are in for another striker then other than Sharp. Wish we would hurry up and get it done...although it's inevitable in January that clubs wait till the last minute. Out of interest, what time does the window shut on Tuesday? Midnight?
georgeweahscousin Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 Rumour has it we have called a press conference at 1400 today. Just a rumour so don't shoot the messenger if it doesn't happen, or if it is just about the weekends game/introduce Lee.
thorpie the sinner Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 We never call press conferences just for players, so bunkum!
James Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 We never call press conferences just for players, so bunkum! It'll just be the normal pre-match press call - they are always held on Thursdays. Wont be Sharp signing but Nige might be asked about it.
georgeweahscousin Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 It is for Tadanari Lee to meet the media, just been confirmed.
thorpie the sinner Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 It is for Tadanari Lee to meet the media, just been confirmed. Just seen that, maybe its a bigger thing as he is Japanese and its a first! In this era of perestroika, I would like to offer my humble apologies!
georgeweahscousin Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 Just seen that, maybe its a bigger thing as he is Japanese and its a first! In this era of perestroika, I would like to offer my humble apologies! I guess so, I imagine there will be an international media presence. No need to apologise, I was as sceptical as you were! It was nice to know my source was right about it being called though!

It was nice to know my source was right about it being called though! There was a big japanese media presence at the game on Monday.
Crazy Diamond Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 There was a big japanese media presence at the game on Monday. When we played West Brom in 06/07 there were a fair few trying to watch Junichi Inamoto. One of them didn't have accreditation so bought a ticket to sit in the stand and write copy on him.
craigthesaint Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 Is it just me or am I reading too much into the latest news on the official site but based on the above rumour of a press conference may be I am not???? http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2589421,00.html The title reads "See the new BOYS in action" ie Plural more than one as they mention Lee but no one else?? hmmmmm then paragraph 3 goes on to say........ "and as the transfer window also slams shut, there will be the chance to see some new FACES on show at St Marys with Japenese striker Tadanari Lee" Hmmm are they playing games with our minds????

"and as the transfer window also slams shut, there will be the chance to see some new FACES on show at St Marys with Japenese striker Tadanari Lee" Hmmm are they playing games with our minds???? Was about to post the same thing. Seems to suggest there will be at least 1 more player in.
Saint Charlie Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 I don't think the guys who write that stuff know what is happening with transfers until they are told...
Saint Garrett Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 Pretty sure it means Falque+Lee to be fair
JustMike Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 Pretty sure it means Falque+Lee to be fair ah but didnt we see Falque vs Leicester?
Ken Tone Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 Hoskins to Bompey apparently loan not sale I hope?
Crazy Diamond Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 Hoskins to Bompey apparently Given their attitude last season I really wish we wouldn't keep lending them players, whether they pay for them or not. It's pretty clear they'd never help us out.
Bailey Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 Hoskins to Bompey apparently. Think you may be getting confused with Will Hoskins of Brighton. He's being heavily linked to AFC Bournemouth today, despite only joining the Seagulls in the summer.
SimonC Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 Given their attitude last season I really wish we wouldn't keep lending them players, whether they pay for them or not. It's pretty clear they'd never help us out. ..because you are far too mahoosive for us to help out anyway!! Monitoring the (Will) Hoskins situation - its a sell, not a loan, £450,000 apparently. Would be nice if it comes off, we'll see. Edit: ah yes - easy to get confused
Crazy Diamond Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 ..because you are far too mahoosive for us to help out anyway!! Monitoring the Hoskins situation - its a sell, not a loan, £450,000 apparently. Would be nice if it comes off, we'll see. If the day ever came when we had to rely on Bournemouth, it'd be a very dark one indeed. And yes, we are the bigger club. Not really much to debate there Simon.
SimonC Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 Agreed. Your humble servants, roll over for you, rabbits in headlights etc..........AFC Bournemouth. - now slightly less skint.
Crazy Diamond Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 Agreed. Your humble servants, roll over for you, rabbits in headlights etc..........AFC Bournemouth. - now slightly less skint. My honest advice, being as nice as I can, is that you be wary of the Russian. I know for a fact that BBC Solent asked the FA if they were going to conduct a fit and proper persons test, they said at the time they just weren't bothered. I realise the guy passed the test, but it's so flawed (look at Portsmouth) and there's evidently a lackadaisical approach to it. I'd find it hard to celebrate your new found wealth when Eddie Mitchell carries on as he does and Denim is nowhere to be seen.
thorpie the sinner Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 So if we sign McGoldrick, Bennett and Kevin Miller we're sorted? No, No I wouldnt lol!!
david in sweden Posted 26 January, 2012 Posted 26 January, 2012 Doncaster Chairman John Ryan says no new bids for Billy Sharp. - Rob Staton of the BBC how do you interpret that ?... Have they had a bid already ..and no-one else since then, or ?
