S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Is that confirmed ? Poor move by the player if true. Almost - probably a late confirmation on that one. Agreed a £3m deal with Bolton and was pulled from the Watford squad at the last minute by the owner. Bit of a bummer for them, no time to get a replacement in. Although good result tonight nevertheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Turned of SSN now, bit boring. Their mega deals are Zamora to QPR, and Jelavic to Everton. Great. Great for the clubs, but for a neutral a total damp squid. In fact this window has been pretty slow for everyone, compared to last year's 200 odd million, only around £50m spent this year. Maybe clubs are taking this fair play policy into consideration? In the grand scheme of things we've done better than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPR - Quality Players Recruited..... How long did it take them to think that one up? Re QPR. Hughes is straight out of the Bryan Robson School of Management , spend big on average players to achieve mediocrity at best. Agree about WBA, Hodgson is a shrewd manager( in stark contrast to Hughes) who does not need to fritter millions for the sake of his own ego.

We still could get Hooper or Collins in on a loan if Celtic succeed in finding players to cover the positions.

Out of last January's £200m, I don't think Carroll and Torres have achieved much for the £85m between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SB Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 Surely West Ham is the worst career move possible if you're a striker, 8 players in thd same position when only two start and two on the bench, who's going to miss out?

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 Traditionally, people speak about January being the time teams panic buy for ridiculous prices but looking at the rumoured prices for some of our summer striking targets, it seems transfers this year have bucked the trend a little: Billy Sharp - (rumoured to be) £2 million - summer £3.25 million (Saints bid) Nicky Maynard (rumoured) £2 million - summer £6 million (supposed Leicester bid) Marvin Sordell (rumoured) £3 million - summer £4 million (supposed Saints bid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 Think in general we had an excellent transfer window offensively, but terrible defensively. Have to utilise loan market to tighten up or promotion will be beyond us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_John Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 This paper said we released Saville last night. http://www.times-series.co.uk/sport/localsport/9506680.Saville_set_to_rejoin_Bees/ Barnet boss Lawrie Sanchez said after that match that the Bees couldn’t complete a deal with the Saints about extending the loan and Saville returned to the south coast. However, Saville and Southampton came to an agreement on Tuesday night to release the defender and he now looks set to permanently join the Bees.
