Professor Posted 11 June, 2012 Share Posted 11 June, 2012 The Sun says, so you know it must be, er, er, what must it be? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4365237/Reading-table-6million-bid-for-Dame-NDoye.html The Sun says Saints are competing with Reading to sign Mariappa from Watford. Born in Harrow so he fits the 'young, English' test but has chosen to play for Jamaica. (Is Harrow actually in Jamaica?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corky morris Posted 11 June, 2012 Share Posted 11 June, 2012 He has never stood out IMHO. Not sure he is better than what we have????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 11 June, 2012 Share Posted 11 June, 2012 Can we have a sticky of all the players The Sun links us with, just so we can produce an accurate percentage at the end of the transfer window ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latter day saint Posted 11 June, 2012 Share Posted 11 June, 2012 seen to recall Newcastle being linked in January? no idea if he is any good or not ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 11 June, 2012 Share Posted 11 June, 2012 According to the almighty Wikipedia, Watford's player of the year, 25 year old centre back. Wanted by Newcastle but 3 bids were rejected in January. Wigan agreed terms but he rejected a move there. He has captained Watford before and is officially their current vice captain. Seems to be just our type of signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Ash Posted 11 June, 2012 Share Posted 11 June, 2012 Stood out for Watford as the only decent player they had when we spanked them at their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graffito Posted 11 June, 2012 Share Posted 11 June, 2012 Stood out for Watford as the only decent player they had when we spanked them at their place. Was he marking Lambert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Ash Posted 11 June, 2012 Share Posted 11 June, 2012 Was he marking Lambert? Ha probably not. If I remember rightly though he won a lot in the air and whilst the whole of Watford were gash, and us not much better on that day, he looked ok.

aintforever Posted 11 June, 2012 Share Posted 11 June, 2012 I've always thought the Sun is not that bad re: transfer rumours. Just because it has a pair of jugs on page 3 doesn't mean it doesn't have good contacts in the football industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 According to some Twitter posts, we're now favourites to sign him. Tenuous at best but hey, I thought I'd post it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 According to some Twitter posts' date=' we're now favourites to sign him. Tenuous at best but hey, I thought I'd post it![/quote'] That twitter account is not ITK in any way and is a WUM. Good rumour though and highly rated player.

S-Clarke Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 Good, powerful centre back. Exactly the sort of CB we need. Young as well, only 24/25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwig Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 Quite short. Good on the ball, versatile, played at PL level before (and did well - albeit at right-back). If he was taller he'd be first choice for a lower half side, his height is the only real doubt as to whether he can step up effortlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having let A Martin go on loan are we short on centre back cover? Seems like a decent punt to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
