Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 Oh, and FYI, Steven Davis was linked to Liverpool, and he didn't go there.
Thedelldays Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 Oh, and FYI, Steven Davis was linked to Liverpool, and he didn't go there. indeed..but I would suggest nearly all that are playing in the SPL would be within saints reaches
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 "SHOULD he become available"? He's on a free? Why is he currently unavailable?
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 Surely all that are playing in the Championship should be as well?
Thedelldays Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 "SHOULD he become available"? He's on a free? Why is he currently unavailable? ok...he won't be coming to saints...im pretty certain of that
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 I'm not saying he will, and as with the last argument you seem to miss the point that we have no influence over who we sign. However, he is the kind of player we should be looking at signing, especially if he signs a new contract at the club he declared he was going to leave in January, that will be in the Championship next season. That is the point.

That is the point. lets see if he actually becomes an NPC player I would have thought Lambert or Lallana would have been out of reach of norwich last season.....even if they had never played, let alone stood out in the prem
Saint Garrett Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 Would love Hoilett here but can't see it. I heard he is holding out for ridiculous wages which clubs arent willing to match his demands, hence him not left yet.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 "The Canadian star has been linked with Newcastle United, Sunderland and QPR, while there is also believed to be interest from abroad, including German side Borussia Monchengladbach." Not exactly worldbeaters are they, although I think if Newcastle wanted him he would be off there?

Saint Charlie Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7884281/Swans-eye-Admoah-raid Ive said loads of times on Adomah: how many goals and assists did he get last season? For a winger, not enough. Good player, will take people on etc but is he any better than De Ridder? I think we could do better.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 I reckon we might see Cork moved out there & Davis in the middle.......................so we can go 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 with more fluidity pushing Adam up with Jay Rod & Ricky. If you watched ManUre at their best Ronaldo, Rooney & Berbatov rotated constantly so that at any time one could would be upfront & the other 2 on either wing. I can see us trying to isolate full backs. Both Rickie & Jay Rod at the back post allowing others through the middle. That said, we desperately need some pace in the side. Yes, you could well be correct, although all the players I've mentioned could possibly do the same job. Interestingly, I thought when Guly was brought on in a couple of the last games of last season, he seemed to be playing a lot deeper than normal (in fact he looked a bit lost to me), so I wonder whether he was being tested to see if he could play in a more holding role? Chaplow, when he was fit, gave a good account of himself and actually displaced others at one stage, probably due to his strength and energy - his goal against Man Utd (bursting into the box from the right) will be fondly remembered. The only big uncertainty to my mind is Puncheon, who could provide some options for the right, but it looks more likely that he will either move or rot in the development team for a bit longer. IF we sign a pacey RB who had the ability to get forward like Johnson and Cole for example, then your scenario would definately make a lot of sense.

MOSaint Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 Kris Temple @kristemple Nothing to do with S.Davis or Buttner either, should've kept my mouth shut! Logging off now but don't shoot me if yr underwhelmed!

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 Someone leaving probably. Maybe Dickson or Barney?
hypochondriac Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 Someone leaving probably. Maybe Dickson or Barney? Not news of a departure.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 It'll be about us having a rejected bid, or rejecting a bid. My guess.
hypochondriac Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 What ever it is. People will moan Moaning about people moaning. Sigh.

the saint in winchester Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Breaking news from Sky Sports Transfer site ... Rudi Skacel says he is ready for a new challenge after not being offered a fresh contract by Hearts. However, Hearts have not ruled out offering Skacel an extension as the club review their budget. by @skysportsbucko 2:45 PM Quick, get him in! Has he signed yet?
Glasgow_Saint Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Three more targets missed..... - Shelvey signed new contract at Liverpool - Alan Smith signed for MK Dons - james henry sined new deal with Millwall
Glasgow_Saint Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 It's funny because he took a long time to sign. Who?
Turkish Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Has he signed yet Classic :lol: Still cracks me up even now.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Mateo Musacchio would be a good player to go for. Young and good, at a relegated side.
maysie Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Three more targets missed..... - Shelvey signed new contract at Liverpool - Alan Smith signed for MK Dons - james henry sined new deal with Millwall Must try harder.
Appy Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Has he signed yet Classic :lol: Funnier than most of the posts you come out with to be fair.
maysie Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Round up from football rumours website: Scott Dann 5.5m Stephen Ireland 2-3m Az Alkmaar player Rasmus Elm Christian Tello from Barcelona (loan) Steele (4.5m) Jack Rodwell Celtic Defensive Midfielder Victor Wanyama Chris Eages 4m Danny Simpson Nathan Redmond Got to love that place - I think our squad is going to be too big.
Dr Who? Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Still have no idea who we are going to sign, but am excited to find out. I am sure we will keep with the club trend of buying players that fit in with the rest of the squad. Some of the names I have heard are complete tosh, as there is no way we will sign billy big balls on a lot of money, as this will upset the apple cart.
Dr Who? Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 WHU signing as many 'names' and has beens as possible. I do not think this statagey will work, as they will have to pay through the nose, and it is not a team for the future. Not the right way IMO

Dr Who? Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Deppo tweeted this earlier: Just to let all #saintsfc fans know - look out for a big news story tomorrow. That's all I'm saying. COYR RE: my last tweet - or it might be Tuesday. COYR! #saintsfc @Looweee Not that. I can't say but it is a big #saintsfc story. COYR! Think it's probably just a wind-up/**** take myself. Have no clue if Deppo is known for being ITK or not. Yes wind up,mwhen I questioned this today, he did not know what I was on about,mand then said it rhymes with Bowen carleaves, but I think he means sounds like. No way the club would sign him, as mentioned he does not fit the Southampton set up! All ball!
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Yes wind up,mwhen I questioned this today, he did not know what I was on about,mand then said it rhymes with Bowen carleaves, but I think he means sounds like.

Here, let me show you Deppo said we would sign bowen carleaves But we all knew it was owen hargreaves There.

brett24 Posted 11 July, 2012 Posted 11 July, 2012 @FourthOfficial_: For those asking I’m en route to Southampton (yes at 3.30am) so twitter is occupying me! On twitter says he has to be there for 9am.
Thedelldays Posted 11 July, 2012 Posted 11 July, 2012 I do not think this statagey will work, as they will have to pay through the nose, and it is not a team for the future. Not the right way IMO People keep saying it yet they keep doing it. Last summer we were sure they did not have a pop to wee in, yet they bought loads of players. This year we thought there was no way they were going to make any decent signings, yet they will do

Saint Garrett Posted 11 July, 2012 Posted 11 July, 2012 WHU after Andy Carroll as well. Atleast he will fit the 'West Ham way'
brett24 Posted 11 July, 2012 Posted 11 July, 2012 Would someone please decipher this for me? Not sure why you need help understading this! A person on twitter claiming to be a football agent has a meeting with Saints at 9am!
Saint Charlie Posted 11 July, 2012 Posted 11 July, 2012 Not sure why you need help understading this! A person on twitter claiming to be a football agent has a meeting with Saints at 9am! Fourth Official isnt an agent. Him being in Soton most likely has nothing to do with football.
Matthew Le God Posted 11 July, 2012 Posted 11 July, 2012 Tottenham’s new boss Andre Villas-Boas wants a good look at Kyle Naughton before deciding on a £5million bid from Southampton. Saints are willing to pay close to Spurs’ valuation for Naughton. But AVB wants to see the defender, 23, up close and probably in pre-season games first. Naughton was loaned to Norwich last season and Spurs recently priced Aston Villa out of a move for him. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/tottenham-close-in-on-joao-moutinho-to-leave-1138386
