buctootim Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 (edited) to get "top drawer" you have to pay top draw wages which cortesi appears reluctant to do. Im not sure thats true - Cortese will pay prem wages, but only once we are actually there. Saints are in a bit of a catch 22. We want a top striker who can perform in the prem - ie one who other top level clubs would want also. Those players have other options arent going to commit to us until promotion is guaranteed - and our current wobble wont be convincing them that is certain.

Crazy Diamond Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Given Adkins has to do a pre-match press conference, I rather doubt it. Another one for the doubt pile, a Mirror journalist seems to think we tried to sign Matthew Upson on loan and are going for Danny Collins as second choice. This is how stupid it gets in this window, we're linked with someone that is first choice at a Premier League club. Never going to happen. To be honest, it may not even be true we want Collins!

stmusicdude Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 In the interests of your own health, can I recommend that those who are likely to get a bit anxious about the slightest tweet mentioning Saints, just go away and do something else for the day? Seriously. You'll kill yourself worrying otherwise and that would then be one more thing for people to blame the club for, not to mention the paperwork... this post needs a LIKE button lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Diamond Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Upson is not first choice. Fair enough, you're right, seven appearances this season, but I still cannot see that one being realistic. Given his injury record it'd be a big gamble too.

SuperSAINT Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 If we couldn't come to terms with Collins, and Upson was our 1st choice, whatever made us think we'd agree terms with Upson?!

pangy Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Carlos Tevez has been linked with a loan move back to West Ham,maybe it is worth putting in a cheeky offer ,I have a feeling that wages would be a slight issue though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Tone Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 It looks like Collins has also failed. 'reluctantnick' says because of wages, which he can't understand because we'd know what he is on, and would expect to pay that during a loan. But if the other rumour that this was with a mind to a permanent transfer is correct, then presumably we'd want to fix long term wages too, and probably at less than he's on now, at a premier league club , especially as he's getting on a bit.

dronskisaint Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Maybe a sticky to stop a few threads building up. Leicester agree 1m fee with Forest for Morgan.
