View From The Top Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Why the attacks on Weston Saint? These forums are going down the pan. It's nuts considering the contacts we know he has.
ottery st mary Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Why the attacks on Weston Saint? These forums are going down the pan. Anyone else who has the temerity to attack Weston Saint...... look out... I will get my band of Honiton female supporters section onto you:rolleyes:...... Behave you little children:D On the other hand I know that Weston Saint is a BIG lad and will survive.
Saint_Ash Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Tempting fate making this a sticky before the official announcement, for all we know cortese might go mental at clyne blabbing on Twitter and call it off!

ART Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 I have trusted and admired Weston Saint for the past 5 years and indeed it stinks that some people on here treat him wit"h such lack of respect. "Welcome to Saintsweb 2012, where you can be pan fried with every post" Come on, time to bring the standard up to the Premier League quality and leave all the backbiting, childish stuff in the Football League
hypochondriac Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Fair enough to have an opinion ART but practically every one of your posts is moaning about the forum. It doesn't contribute a great deal.

I come under quite a lot of umwarrented floak myself.
Saint Garrett Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Totally agree with your sentiments. I come under quite a lot of umwarrented floak myself. Apart from it's fully warranted...

aintforever Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 You always get nobheads on here who hate the fact that other people know stuff. Clyne Looks like a good signing.
Weston Saint Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 I am flattered by the support but as Ottery says I will survive. I was only answering another posters enquiry. Obvious I know, but he did ask! I keep away from controversial posts. It does no good engaging such people and only feeds their obsessions. Good signing when complete.
pap Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 News just in from the game. Happy Clappers United 10 - 0 Dell Sized Mentality City "It's men versus boys out there" Seriously though, nice signing if true. I love our transfer focus at the moment; pluck young talent that can do a job now and have got room to grow in the future. The fact that a lot of them are English is even better. They're going to rocket in value if they do well. Bit of a gamble on youth/and or former Championship players, but much prefer this approach to the one QPR took.
manji Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Why the attacks on Weston Saint? These forums are going down the pan. Attacks ? Thats a bit precious. Is Weston the new Queen Mother ? Just a bit of micky taking about the pomposity of his posts.....
Toadhall Saint Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Why the attacks on Weston Saint? These forums are going down the pan. Agreed
Gordon Mockles Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Attacks ? Thats a bit precious. Is Weston the new Queen Mother ? Just a bit of micky taking about the pomposity of his posts..... Says someone who was a Lowe sympathizer so your opinion is instantly irrelevant!
ottery st mary Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 (edited) Was Lowe the previous Queen Mother by chance..or was that Manji? I was going to add that us forum boyzz better put our hanbags away or there could be blood spilt:p But when I think about it:rolleyes: the last time I saw two birds fighting with their hand bags..was Les Dawson and his side kick.. Come on boyz and girlz let us get behind the mighty Saints as one:) WIFM Edited 18 July, 2012 by ottery st mary
St Chalet Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 I have it on trusted authority it is £2m, a chunky sign on (if it is 500k then this explains reports of 2.5m) and Palace retain a 20% sell on clause.
St Chalet Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Tempting fate making this a sticky before the official announcement, for all we know cortese might go mental at clyne blabbing on Twitter and call it off! I did the same for Rodriguez

acersaint Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Work with a Palace fan. He says Clyne is best player to come out of their acadamy. Last season vs United he had Nani in his pocket for the whole game. Will be a great signing.
sidthesquid Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Strange that they can insist on a sell on clause when he is out of contract? Part of the deal to avoid a tribunal, maybe.
St Chalet Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Strange that they can insist on a sell on clause when he is out of contract? They are free to negotiate or let it go to tribunal - as are we. I would imagine that it suits both parties to agree now as it gives Palace wonga to spend in the window and us certainty on the fee. Daniel Sturridge is a good example of where sides couldn't agree and it went to a tribunal. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/8460232.stm

I would suspect.
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Seriously though, nice signing if true. I love our transfer focus at the moment; pluck young talent that can do a job now and have got room to grow in the future. The fact that a lot of them are English is even better. They're going to rocket in value if they do well. Bit of a gamble on youth/and or former Championship players, but much prefer this approach to the one QPR took. Our signing strategy might work wonderfully - it might fail miserably I suppose - but whatever the outcome I'm all for giving it a go. We could build a team (as many others have) based around established Premier League players looking for a last big pay day before they decline, but our way - the Southampton way - looks a better way to me. Virtually every player we field this coming season - Lambert/Lallana/Schneiderlin/Rodriguez - will take to the pitch having something still to prove in the game, this season will be the biggest moment of their careers so far for most of them. An enticing prospect if ever I saw one.
manji Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Says someone who was a Lowe sympathizer so your opinion is instantly irrelevant! Oh thats so hurtful. Please dont be nasty to me.
Bearsy Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Work with a Palace fan. He says Clyne is best player to come out of their acadamy. Last season vs United he had Nani in his pocket for the whole game. Will be a great signing. I happened to be at that game cos my old man follows the Eagles, I'm pretty sure Nani weren't playing. Clyne was good tho!
manji Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Anway great signings so far and more to come I suspect.
acersaint Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 I happened to be at that game cos my old man follows the Eagles, I'm pretty sure Nani weren't playing. Clyne was good tho! I shall tell my palace mate that!!!

Bearsy Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 You too slow this time MLG! Bearsy is out pedantic-ing you tonite! Not to get over excited or nothing but his general play that night reminded me of Ashley Coles
suewhistle Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Heheh - I was just about to suggest we consult C.P.'s MLG... Anyway, song for Saturday: Nathanial Clyne is all mine, all mine Nathanial Clyne is all mine,
Matthew Le God Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 I was a little more detailed and gave options of who he may have confused Nani with.
saintmatt Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 I was a little more detailed and gave options of who he may have confused Nani with. You say detailed but we didn't find out Bearsy's Dad's a Palace fan from your post!
Elmore Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 So just how good is he then? Everyone is raving about him. Admit I know next to nothing about him and only saw him play once. Must say I didn't really notice him when we played Palace - then again none of their players really stood out apart from Zaha.
ART Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Heheh - I was just about to suggest we consult C.P.'s MLG... Anyway, song for Saturday: Nathanial Clyne is all mine, all mine Nathanial Clyne is all mine, (Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang) (Do-lang, do-lang) He's so fine (Do-lang-do-lang-do-lang) Nataniel Clyne (Do-lang-do-lang-do-lang) That player standing tall overthere (Do-lang-do-lang-do-lang) The one with the amazing flair (Do-lang-do-lang-do-lang) He's so fine

Must say I didn't really notice him when we played Palace - then again none of their players really stood out apart from Zaha. One of the best young english prospects around. He will play for England in the next year. Composed on the ball, very, very quick. Technically incredibly gifted and a very good reader of the game. Only 20 as well. Regarded as one of the best young english full back around. You don't come close to signing for Man Utd for being average, put it that way.
mulletsaint Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 You don't come close to signing for Man Utd for being average, put it that way. You have seen Bebe play, right?
Glasgow_Saint Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 One of the best young english prospects around. He will play for England in the next year. Composed on the ball, very, very quick.

You don't come close to signing for Man Utd for being average, put it that way. Dont like to be negative BUT if he is that good why didnt Man U sign him? 1.5-2.5m is a small gamble for a club like united.

An enticing prospect if ever I saw one. I don't think we'll fail miserably. I'm fully expecting to get a couple of hidings, but hey - there isn't a team in the Prem that hasn't had a good thrashing on an off day. We'll only go down if we're consistently bad, and I'd back this team to do better than that. If we can survive this year with this group of players fully blooded and experience to draw from, especially if we see the sort of improvement we've seen in the likes of Lambert, that's going to be an excellent first season back, imo. You're right though. Every player has got something to prove. Can't wait. Particularly looking forward to the games against the scouse teams.
Saint_DB Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Jackson/McCartney: Nathaniel Clyne The dog-gone boy is Clyne
hypochondriac Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 (edited) Really good signing but I hope people don't go on and on about how United wanted him. If United were truly interested then he would have signed for them. There is no proven link that they were interested anyway save for paper talk. Edited 18 July, 2012 by hypochondriac
Dazza82 Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Dont like to be negative BUT if he is that good why didnt Man U sign him? 1.5-2.5m is a small gamble for a club like united. Maybe this played a part in United not coming back for him http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/893963-nathaniel-clyne-close-to-penning-shock-manchester-united-deal Manager Sir Alex Ferguson was confident he could get his man, only for the player's agent to pull the plug on a switch to Old Trafford at the last minute, believing better terms would be offered as a free agent in the summer. The decision annoyed Ferguson, but he has maintained an interest We all know that Fergie can be stubborn
Bearsy Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Really good signing but I hope people don't go on and on about how United wanted him. If United were truly interested then he would have signed for them. Oh i don't know they can't sign everyone they think is good, i dare say he was on their maybe list. It's not like they're particularly struggling for young right backs.
Gingeletiss Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Really good signing but I hope people don't go on and on about how United wanted him. If United were truly interested then he would have signed for them. Why?
Dig Dig Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Very happy to have beaten Man Utd to the signing of this player. Shows that we are already able to compete with the big boys of this league and are a much better prospect for up and coming British talent.
The9 Posted 18 July, 2012 Posted 18 July, 2012 Work with a Palace fan. He says Clyne is best player to come out of their acadamy. Last season vs United he had Nani in his pocket for the whole game. Will be a great signing. Nice to know, considering Lallana took him to pieces repeatedly.
