SuperSAINT Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Forster has just signed for Celtic, so thats a keeper mentioned on here gone elsewhere. Wonder who we will go for if we don't follow up on Butland? Interesting. The keeper merry-go-round saw Celtic not agree terms with Craig Gordon prior to them concluding the Forster deal...
Flyer Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Just asked a QPR supporting friend about him.... On Mackie, there's no way I can see QPR letting him go. He only signed a contract extension a couple of months ago and came runner up in our player of the year. I think it's a bit of lazy journalism because the full article said that as we bought in Johnson and have Zamora & Cisse... and that Mackie has been pushed down the pecking order... But since he's signed for us, I've never once seen him play upfront. So as I see it, he will still start right midfield ahead of Wright-Phillips. He's one of our best players, I would be devastated if he left... But I wouldn't read too much into it. Exactly this, Hes played all his games at RW with the exception of playing both RW and RB when we went down to 10 men and sometimes playing LW. Never up front.
Saint Garrett Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Exactly this, Hes played all his games at RW with the exception of playing both RW and RB when we went down to 10 men and sometimes playing LW. Never up front. He's also not very good. Happy for us to look elsewhere.
shurlock Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 He's also not very good. Happy for us to look elsewhere. Yep, a poor man's milner, though if we play a diamond, would provide decent defensive and attacking balance.
saint_ed Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 He's also not very good. Happy for us to look elsewhere. Disagree, for £1million he would be an absolute bargain! Although I don't believe the story in the slightest.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Mackie is quality - would be an amazeballs signing imho
Saint Charlie Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 You got me there Ron. Must have had too many Old Speckled Hens Heard a little whisper actually Dave, about this Dutch LB and maybe another. Will give you a buzz later and fill you in. Hope Mary is well.
Thedelldays Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 For some reason, Mackie reminds me of a poor man's Millner. jesus... Mackie is class
Turkish Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Yep, a poor man's milner, though if we play a diamond, would provide decent defensive and attacking balance. Christ, you mean he's even worse at the doing the little else except running around covering space role?
Saint Garrett Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 jesus... Mackie is class Really? I always thought of him of a mid table championship striker, who comes on for QPR because they need a change. Might be wrong though, I've not seen that much of him, but never been great when I have. Sure we could do better than him though.
Dig Dig Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Really? I always thought of him of a mid table championship striker, who comes on for QPR because they need a change. Might be wrong though, I've not seen that much of him, but never been great when I have. Sure we could do better than him though. He was one of their best players last season from what I saw and scored some top quality and important goals. I'm sure Fyler can correct me if I'm wrong though. But another player who is written off has "not good enough" or "could do better". Who exactly is good enough to play for Saints? Certainly not Mackie, Owen, Huddlestone, Mariappa, Clyne (because Lambert beat him in the air) etc etc.
Saint Garrett Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Id happily take Clyne, Marriapa and Huddlestone, and I'd probably take Owen on a short term, low wage deal....
Thedelldays Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Id happily take Clyne, Marriapa and Huddlestone, and I'd probably take Owen on a short term, low wage deal.... but not Mackie..?
Saint Garrett Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 but not Mackie..? Not from what I've seen of him, admitably thats not a lot, I'd happily be proved wrong though, but wouldnt get too optimistic if he were to join.
Thedelldays Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Not from what I've seen of him, admitably thats not a lot, I'd happily be proved wrong though, but wouldnt get too optimistic if he were to join. I have seen him loads. He is class...works tirelessly up and down the right, great touch and pace. scores goals too and turns up for the big games I expect him to continue to do very well for QPR again this season you could see he was going to be good when he was down here at Argyle
Crazy Diamond Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Steven Caulker, highly rated by Spurs and who has just signed a new long term contract, looked pretty good at Swansea. Loan maybe? Just a thought off the top of my head.
Saint_lambden Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 I for one think Mackie would be a good option out on the RW.
Dig Dig Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Steven Caulker, highly rated by Spurs and who has just signed a new long term contract, looked pretty good at Swansea. Loan maybe? Just a thought off the top of my head. Would be a good loan option but wouldn't be surprised if he stayed at spurs next season. They are woefully short at CB.
Saint Garrett Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Caulker is a really good player and wouldnt be surprised if he is their no 1 CB by the end of the season, but agree with Adrian, domestic loans are a joke.
hutch Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 I heard Riquelme has parted company with Boca Juniors. But he's probably heading to the other end of Hampshire. HCDAJFTDFCSBs
H Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 (edited) Vladmir Weiss??? Yes please. Great minds ... I was thinking exactly the same thing the other day and then this came up yesterday ... http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/vladimir-weiss-set-for-manchester-city-exit-7912055.html I wonder who's made him an offer and what sort of wage he's pulling at City?

beavis17 Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 The latest offering from Football Rumours... 05 Jul 2012 09:51:25 Greame Bailey revealed on SSN 2 days ago that Southampton will make a massive signing that will rock english football - FACT Jack Rodwell was at saints training ground on Friday - this is a fact Don't know if a transfer is in place, dont know a fee, dont know a wage ... for all i know he may be visiting friends or checking out the new youth set up But i can guarentee you he was at the training ground and i have a photo to prove it.

Crazy Diamond Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 If it's on Football Rumours, the only guarantee is that it's completely fake.
pingwing Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Great minds ...

Really hope we are the ones bidding for him! Even if FM estimates his current wage at somewhere around 20k per week, which is a lot at 22 (though probably not out of the clubs wage budget) Get Dedryck Boyata out of City's reserve team too
beavis17 Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 One of the club photographers said this when questioned on transfer activity. Paul watts @Wattsypics @danbsfc don't worry it be like waiting for a bus ... Wait ages and they all come at once !
beavis17 Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 I don't think he did. Think someone is just making it up.. You're right. He did say that we had a very exciting deal lined up two weeks ago though.

BlakeySFC Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Probably not even worth mentioning, but my Chelsea supporting Plummer just said he'd heard a rumour we're signing Soloman Kalou
iansums Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Probably not even worth mentioning, but my Chelsea supporting Plummer just said he'd heard a rumour we're signing Soloman Kalou You're correct, it wasn't worth mentioning.
Monk Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Probably not even worth mentioning, but my Chelsea supporting Plummer just said he'd heard a rumour we're signing Soloman Kalou Was a mummer in the office at Cobham about this before he was realesed. Feyenord was another possibility.
Soggy Bottom Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Probably not even worth mentioning, but my Chelsea supporting Plummer just said he'd heard a rumour we're signing Soloman Kalou God I hope not
Saint Garrett Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Heard multiple clubs being linked to Kalou. Liverpool, Newcastle, Lille, Schalke, Galatasaray.....Cannot see him joining us.
Soggy Bottom Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Really?? Yes I don't rate him at all just my opinion, ask Chelsea fans he's played 155 apps and they still don't know if hes any good.
Saint Charlie Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Yes I don't rate him at all just my opinion, ask Chelsea fans he's played 155 apps and they still don't know if hes any good. Agree on Kalou. Bosingwa is the same. Can't be that bad after the career he has had but looks like a ringer half the time.
VectisSaint Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Was a mummer in the office at Cobham about this before he was realesed. Feyenord was another possibility. Bloody hell, next thing we,ll get those morris dancers identifying transfer targets. The bells get on my wick.
S-Clarke Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Yes I don't rate him at all just my opinion, ask Chelsea fans he's played 155 apps and they still don't know if hes any good. This is Chelsea, one of the top clubs in Europe and the Champions League winners. If he hasn't looked that good for them, that doesn't mean he's not good enough for us. In fact he would walk into our team. Fact.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 This is Chelsea, one of the top clubs in Europe and the Champions League winners. If he hasn't looked that good for them, that doesn't mean he's not good enough for us. In fact he would walk into our team. Fact. This. Surely no one would seriously turn their nose up at Kalou?
Genk Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Naismith...great signing for Rangers. Will turn out to be a very good player in the Premiership. One of a few Rangers players that are good enough. Shame we didn't go in for him.
S-Clarke Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Naismith...great signing for Rangers. Will turn out to be a very good player in the Premiership. One of a few Rangers players that are good enough. Shame we didn't go in for him. Where would he play though? Lee, Lambert, Rodriguez, Sharp, Guly......... I'm more happy that we focus on the positions that are light in quality! He's a good player, don't get me wrong, but he'd be an unnecessary signing in my opinion.
Give it to Ron Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Sky Sports understands Brighton are eyeing an ambitious swoop for Manchester City defender Wayne Bridge
Thedelldays Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Sky Sports understands Brighton are eyeing an ambitious swoop for Manchester City defender Wayne Bridge yeah, really ambitious that one. he will only go for the night life and a return to the south
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Bit of a boring window if our biggest news of the day is Wayne Bridge to Brighton! Hopefully the calm before the storm...
Monk Posted 5 July, 2012 Posted 5 July, 2012 Bloody hell, next thing we,ll get those morris dancers identifying transfer targets. The bells get on my wick. Well bearing in mind, the office is at Cobham, Stoke Road, Surrey. Might of had some legs to it.
