PaulGilchrist_76 Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Maybe this is another mystery signing like the ones Nigel was working so hard to obtain in the last transfer window?
Window Cleaner Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Tim Cahill....just putting it out there. Pretty unhappy at Everton according to Aussie press. Attacking midfielder who gets goals... Not this season though,this season 0 goals in 20 odd games, last season 9 in 28 or so.Could be that Arteta's absence affects his play, perhaps he's in a different role now.Sometimes if you take away just one player you change the results of 5 or 6.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Again, why do people think it's a big signing? Is it solely MLG? If he said someone unlikely then it's probably just someone good on FM. I think it'll probably be Iago on loan from Spurs or something. It wasn't MLG who first posted it, it was 'Matthew Le Tissier'.
Hatch Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Alan Smith , Newcastle. on the basis of...i just made it up.
buctootim Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Kevin Keegan to come out of retirement. Weird to remember how big that was. Even Messi wasn't as big as him at the time if you go by the Balon d'Or awards.
Saint Charlie Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 No word from NA that it was a major signing, just that he was expecting a signing this week.
dubai_phil Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 There's no way Cahill would leave everton. Well he left Bolton. Oh
david in sweden Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 No word from NA that it was a major signing, just that he was expecting a signing this week.[/QUOTE] surely he must mean T. Lee. He hasn't officially put pen to paper yet - has he ?
verlaine1979 Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Huh, now that the Ballon d'Or is rolled into the Fifa World Player of the Year award, hasn't Messi effectively won it three years in a row (last ever Ballon d'Or in 2009, and Fifa WPY in 2009, 2010 & 2011)? I know Keegan was big news, but Messi is a different level altogether. Weird to remember how big that was. Even Messi wasn't as big as him at the time if you go by the Balon d'Or awards.
Mozz Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Sounded like NA meant in addition to Lee. His quote was along the lines of: "Tadanari Lee joins us next week and I'd like to think we have another player joining us next week".
Jimmy_D Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Sordell maybe? West Ham seem to think they're in for him as well as us on their forum.
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 According to Fourth_Official on twitter Maynard off to WBA!!!
beavis17 Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 According to Fourth_Official on twitter Maynard off to WBA!!! Cox to leave..?
Crazy Diamond Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Sordell maybe? West Ham seem to think they're in for him as well as us on their forum. Already said it. Dyche has acknowledged interest and says he won't be sold cheaply, see my earlier post According to Fourth_Official on twitter Maynard off to WBA!!! BREAKING NEWS - last week maybe. That one has been doing the rounds for a while.
Matthew Le God Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Again, why do people think it's a big signing? Is it solely MLG? If he said someone unlikely then it's probably just someone good on FM. I think it'll probably be Iago on loan from Spurs or something. It wasn't "Matthew Le God" who first posted it' date=' it was 'Matthew Le Tissier'.[/quote'] Please read poster's names more carefully hadriansfc!
Dalek2003 Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 The mystery signing will remain a mystery well into the summer months as I doubt we will sign anyone !
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Someone foreign and not playing in the English Leagues
Badger Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Someone foreign and not playing in the English Leagues I have thought this for a while now, especially in view of inflated costs associated with domestic players. If we are considering spending £4-5-6m perhaps, then we might better value on the continent (Vossen was a name bandied about in the summer) than here (relatively inexperienced Rodriguez for example).
gammon cheeks Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Cox to leave..? Cox would be a great signing if you ask me
Badger Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Cox would be a good signing for this league without a doubt. Question is though whether we are signing for NPC or possibly with one eye on the Prem league ? I just hope our (over?)ambitious approach does not leave us without the necessary recruit for the remainder of the season.
SB Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Cox would be a good signing for this league without a doubt. Question is though whether we are signing for NPC or possibly with one eye on the Prem league ? I just hope our (over?)ambitious approach does not leave us without the necessary recruit for the remainder of the season. My thoughts exactly.. Cox would 'do the job' at this level, but preimership week in week out doubtful. We don't want to go up with NPC players on 2/3 year contracts..Whereas Hooper has more of a chance of cutting it in the Preimership even though being a more ambitious and costly signing.

I just hope our (over?)ambitious approach does not leave us without the necessary recruit for the remainder of the season. Yes this is my worry too. You would hope that we have a few reserves in mind (even if it's a loan) to cover us in case we are unable to get our targets like Hooper.
david in sweden Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw1MmNwf3kI Impudent. INDEED ! ..bet he won't do that every week, though ...
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 God wish I had kept my mouth shut lol! From what I know if the signing comes off you won't be disappointed. However still a few issues apparently. I'm not prepared to say on this one as I wouldn't want to contribute to anything stopping it or the papers robbing the story from here. The last one I didn't mind as the deal was done. Sorry.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Does the player currently play in this nation or does he come from elsewhere?

saint_disco123 Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 the echo is saying that billy sharp has opted out for a move to LFC, could their be a possible move to super saints?
Glasgow_Saint Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 god wish i had kept my mouth shut lol! From what i know if the signing comes off you won't be disappointed.

Pilchards Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 the echo is saying that billy sharp has opted out for a move to LFC, could their be a possible move to super saints? No because he wants 20k a week and saints will not pay that.
SaintNeil90 Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 No because Billy Sharp is the most overrated striker in England!!
Super_Saint Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 God wish I had kept my mouth shut lol! From what I know if the signing comes off you won't be disappointed.

The last one I didn't mind as the deal was done. Sorry. Not sure If you're taking the p*ss or not, but I'll take your word as you were right about Tadanari Lee. When do you see this mystery signing joining if all does go to plan?
Monk Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Matthew Le Tissier, I'm not asking for you to name but do you personally know the 'name' of say player? I cba to re check the thread.
SB Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 No because Billy Sharp is the most overrated striker in England!! I feel so strongly about this I will use my 3rd and final post of the 24 hours to say.. I 110% agree.. 20k plus for what exactly? a guy that looks more overweight than Ricke, and has proven himself just this season that he is okay in the Championship, Ridiculous, rant over.
Matthew Le God Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Seems unlikely... @FootballAgent12 Bill Schweinder Saints are going to bid for Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel #lcfc #saintsfc 3 minutes ago via web Favorite Retweet Reply https://twitter.com/#!/FootballAgent12/status/158671006834245632
Appy Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Seems unlikely...but then again why not? https://twitter.com/#!/FootballAgent12/status/158671006834245632 Wow, taken with a pinch of salt of course, but his wages should scare us off.

He surely can't see foxes going up this season.
Smirking_Saint Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 This so called 'mystery' signing this week, anyone else think its just going to be the unvieling of Lee ?
S-Clarke Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 http://www.guardian-series.co.uk/sport/9470835.Watford_manager_on_Sordell_interest/
Badger Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 This so called 'mystery' signing this week, anyone else think its just going to be the unvieling of Lee ? No. I think this has been covered earlier in either this thread,or post-match thread re NA's comments in interview. General view is that it is another player,in addition to Lee, from what NA says/or way it is said.
hypochondriac Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Would be good to know the position of the signing MLT. And if he has been mentioned on here?
S-Clarke Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Would be good to know the position of the signing MLT. And if he has been mentioned on here? I honestly think he doesn't know......it strikes a bit attention seeking for him. Drop a bit of info, then run away, drop a bit more cryptic stuff, run away again. Pointless and time wasting.

If he knows the position that would be interesting.

If I had people I knew in Japan they would have text me the paper headlines that day too. People dropping crytpic stuff just bugs me. If you can't say who it is because it'll ''damage the deal'' then don't say a thing, anything else is just raising expectations and wasting everyone's time.

I think little bits of info (which sometimes are right) is what makes this place more interesting. It's certainly the reason why the rumours threads are so popular over January and the summer.

hypochondriac Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 I remember the MLT poster and he has posted stuff in the past that has come to fruition so I trust what he says.
Saints foreva Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 I remember the MLT poster and he has posted stuff in the past that has come to fruition so I trust what he says. Like what? Apart from the Lee signing I can only remember "Beattie to resign" and "Chamberlain done deal to Man Utd". Neither of those happened.
Crazy Diamond Posted 15 January, 2012 Posted 15 January, 2012 Like what? Apart from the Lee signing I can only remember "Beattie to resign" and "Chamberlain done deal to Man Utd". Neither of those happened. From what?
