ART Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 We can still do deals with South America and Russia as their windows are closed yet.
Dr Who? Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Christ, Sky sports milk this don't they? They do it on purpose I think, all tongue in cheek!
SNSUN Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Big Ben - HCDAJFU. Good height from corners, deadly accurate and always on time for training. Good with his hands too, would make a good keeper.
The Cat Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Christ, Sky sports milk this don't they? It's horrible. Fake firework noises, Wayne Bridge's face on Big Ben's clock face. What?
Badger Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 We can still do deals with South America and Russia as their windows are closed yet. and probably for a while after as well , just tell the FA we bought our fax machine from Birmingham City.
SNSUN Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 (Yes I know only the bell is called Big Ben, before the pedants get me...)
Dr Who? Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 QPR the Biggest spenders in terms of the number of players they have signed.... You what?
SNSUN Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Iain Dowie saying QPR did the best business this window - I think WBA have done very well. Ridgewell and Andrews, quality additions.
SO16_Saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 How long until the 'summer transfer HCDAJFU' thread starts??
Badger Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Does remind me of election night! yes, they should have a spendometer in the studio
The Cat Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 (Yes I know only the bell is called Big Ben, before the pedants get me...) What's the rest of it called?
Dr Who? Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 QPR - Quality Players Recruited..... How long did it take them to think that one up?
Badger Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Sordell to Bolton Is that confirmed ? Poor move by the player if true.
SO16_Saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 What's the rest of it called? Clock Tower or St Stephens
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2012 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.
SO16_Saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 QPR - Quality Players Recruited..... How long did it take them to think that one up? 31 days
SNSUN Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 What's the rest of it called? Can I cheat and use Wiki? I think it's "The Clock Tower of Westminster" or something. Although most people generally accept Big Ben as the whole clock's name.
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2012 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.

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.
The Godfather Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 All SSN news is interested in is premiership transfers nothing else. Smell the coffee!!
ART Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Mirror just updated and posted that Leon Best is off to Celtic. Thought this had fallen through but looks like it's happened http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/transfer-news/Transfer-gossip-Leon-Best-Newcastle-striker-wanted-by-Celtic-article859919.html

Thought this had fallen through but looks like it's happened http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/transfer-news/Transfer-gossip-Leon-Best-Newcastle-striker-wanted-by-Celtic-article859919.html You have to wonder why they're signing strikers. Might be some mileage in the Hooper to Russia talk, and that window is still open for a month.
ART Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 You have to wonder why they're signing strikers. Might be some mileage in the Hooper to Russia talk, and that window is still open for a month. We still could get Hooper or Collins in on a loan if Celtic succeed in finding players to cover the positions. Despite signing Sharp I still believe that Hooper is a priority for Adkins as he prepares for the Premiership/
ART Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 West Ham have signed Nicky Maynard Hope under Sam he ends up playing like Bill Maynard.

It's only england that has the loan window open.

Maybe clubs are taking this fair play policy into consideration? In the grand scheme of things we've done better than most. Perhaps clubs have seen the folly of spending ludicrous sums. Out of last January's £200m, I don't think Carroll and Torres have achieved much for the £85m between them.
SNSUN Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 squib even... Late night pedantry on my part. :-) I see Paul Lambert at Norwich signed Ryan Bennett from Posh, an England U21 centre back. That man has a real eye for a lower league bargain - a great transfer policy.

That man has a real eye for a lower league bargain - a great transfer policy. Yeah Norwich do their business very well. Very shrewd. Same as us really.... He's gone back to Posh for the season though iirc.
S-Clarke Posted 1 February, 2012 Posted 1 February, 2012 Hmm, Maynard to WHU, not good... I'm sure they said the same when they saw ''Sharp to Southampton''
Black Sea Saint Posted 1 February, 2012 Posted 1 February, 2012 I'm glad we didn't pay 7m for Hooper. Zamora for 4m and Sordell for 3m make that sound like far too much
SNSUN Posted 1 February, 2012 Posted 1 February, 2012 Hmm, Maynard to WHU, not good... I'm sure they said the same when they saw ''Sharp to Southampton'' I think the chasing pack will be most worried about these two.
SB Posted 1 February, 2012 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? Lots of egos to deal with.
hamster Posted 1 February, 2012 Posted 1 February, 2012 We need a Simeon Jackson. I'd break the bank for him. An amazing player.
positivepete Posted 1 February, 2012 Posted 1 February, 2012 I see that the lad Bamford who scored four past our U18's in the cup has gone to Chelsea for £1.6m. A couple of weeks too late sadly.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 1 February, 2012 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)

Sven and his stupid spending policy
DT Posted 1 February, 2012 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.
Chez Posted 1 February, 2012 Posted 1 February, 2012 Bristol City must be kicking themselves, it was actually £6m rising to 8m. Sven and his stupid spending policy has his goals and performances in the first half of the season done enough to keep them up? That might be worth a few bob.
Saint_John Posted 1 February, 2012 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.
Matthew Le God Posted 1 February, 2012 Posted 1 February, 2012 His twitter confirms he has left...
