Chez Posted 22 December, 2011 Share Posted 22 December, 2011 Did very well on loan at Cheltenham. I'm not sure we could sign him now, but if Brum don't go up and they are struggling for cash then a summer bid should be made.agreed, but an eleventh hour bid in January might work if all the other players they are trying to shift don't happen.

Give it to Ron Posted 22 December, 2011 Share Posted 22 December, 2011 Totally agree, any deals need to be done asap! Anything on last day would be desperate and would mean we havent got our main target! But its normally a jigsaw puzzle isn't it...one club won't release a player until they have a replacement.....its normally one desperate club that starts it and we are not desperate yet.

He's about as useful as that football rumours site when it comes to Saints transfer news.

david in sweden Posted 23 December, 2011 Share Posted 23 December, 2011 (edited) Ummmm! where did AOC play, remind me? we are not talking about the same product. AOC is a developing teenage talent, and in the long run even £12 mill.may seem like a steal for Arsenal bearing in mind what they are used to paying for their "stars". Rhodes has been good -even very good, for one and a half seasons in L1 - BUT he's still there . If he was SO good why hasn't he gone before? Don't get me wrong, I think he's a good player - and I think he'd be a good buy for us - but not at £8 million ! NEVER ! still when he eventually goes (somewhere) we'll see...eh?

TBF no-one has suggested that he is the big ITN.). It takes a lot of small ends to be tied before a deal is actually done. Over the years, we've seen a lot of verbal agreements disappear into thin air before the pen hits paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 23 December, 2011 Share Posted 23 December, 2011 He is on loan at Burnley until 15th January 2012 so seems unlikely... doesn't a permanent move always overide any loan period. It would seem to me that we all had this discussion when we signed Puncheon, he was on loan at MK Dons for the season but Plymouth sold him to us anyway.

Agreed we fannied around all summer and ended up missing some key targets. We need to be more decisive and aggressive. I said it before and i'll say it again, we need to take a leaf out of Norwich City's book when it comes to being decisive in the transfer market.

I said it before and i'll say it again, we need to take a leaf out of Norwich City's book when it comes to being decisive in the transfer market. They were done and dusted by July while we were still faffing about. I would like simple answers to these questions: 1. How did we 'fanny around'? In what way? 2. How should we be more 'decisive and aggressive'? Tell Bristol City to lower their ridiculous asking price for Maynard? Hold a gun to Billy Sharp's head to convince him he really should move? Ignore Fontaine's failed medical? Hope he doesn't end up like Delgado? In the absence of any semi-reasonable responses to the above I will take your silence as conclusive evidence of the total invalidity of your 'arguments', and the fact that you are simply a wind-up merchant.

In that case how come Norwich did act decisively both ths summer and the summer before. If maynard was too expensive, Sharpe never lkely to move and Fontaine have a dodgy knee then we were going for either the wrong players or the one we were not prepared to afford. Smacks of bad planning and lack of decisiveness. Also, we left the signing of these players to very late so we could not then move on others when they went wrong !

Seems to have worked for Norwich don't you think. Now light up your pipe ! you do realise that Norwich continued to sign players on loan throughout the season. Shouldn't they have sorted everything out on the first day of the two windows? Seems like really poor planning to need to constantly bring in additional players. If the right player at the right priced is not available then no signing should be made just to appease little cry baby fans. The squad IS big enough. It might not be good enough, we'll see about that, but the financial stability of the club is paramount and bringing in a host of average players on high wages ****s that up. Bring in players only if they improve the side. If we have to wait till the 11th hour to get that man, then that's fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine, no matter how hard we try to keep deals quiet, the football world will get wind of impending deals before they're announced as chairmen, managers et al probably all talk to each other. Here's hoping this news is true because I think Sharp would be the perfect foil for Lambert. Is there an "oppo" you could ask at Donny who could confirm this??
