Saint J 77 Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 I'll jump around with joy if this signing comes off, think it'll be an awesome signing of the very highest calibre. Can't see us wrapping it up so soon though, we usually take 2-3 weeks to get someone signed, just look at the Buttner saga! I though the Buttner deal was now off? I never really heard of Clyne before Saints showed an interest but from all reports he sounds like he would be an excellent signing for us if we can get him. He is apparently both young and hungry too
SuperMikey Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 From that video he looks f*cking quick which is a good thing. Some real pace at the back for once since...well, since I started supporting Saints! Price is a snip too. Great deal for us.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4428548/Southampton-have-won-the-race-for-Nathaniel-Clyne.html The Sun says he's coming to SMS too although they think we're off to Switzerland again, which does mar their accuracy a little...
Dr Octopus Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 We are going to Switzerland. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2837203,00.html
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 Oh, I sit corrected! Thought we were just off to France.
Bearsy Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 From that video he looks f*cking quick which is a good thing. Some real pace at the back for once since...well, since I started supporting Saints! Price is a snip too. Great deal for us. Like watching a young Ashley Cole innit.

EBS1980 Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 Keep an eye out for him and anybody else at the games today...
Shroppie Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 signed a 4 year contract with us http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/262084/Southampton-sign-Crystal-Palace-defender-Nathaniel-Clyne/? Think I'll be happier when it's on the OS rather than in the Daily Star.
Shroppie Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 Hopefully true, but this is the Daily Star, right?
patred44 Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 http://www.holmesdale.net/page.php?id=106&tid=122744
patred44 Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 1.5m would be a bit of a bargain wouldn't it? hope there's no deal involving Martin in that! It is cheap!
dune Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 Hopefully true, but this is the Daily Star, right? It's the sister paper of the Daily Express (the most honourable paper on the market - which i read)
St.Patrik Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 I`ve been supporting Saints so long that I will say JAYYYY when it´s on the OS - hopefully it´s true now though
CB Fry Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 It's the sister paper of the Daily Express (the most honourable paper on the market - which i read) Exceptional WUMing.
CB Fry Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 It's not though, I mean it. In that case you are loopy. The Di-ly Express is the most pitiful title on market, worse than the star which doesn't pretend that it is for anyone other than idiots. There, you reeled me in. But anyway. Clyne. Great. If true.

manji Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 A new thread to quote the Star? Really? Thats what I thought too. Especially as there is a Clyne thread already.
The Majestic Channon Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 It's the sister paper of the Daily Express (the most honourable paper on the market - which i read) That explains a lot
SaintRichmond Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 In that case you are loopy. The Di-ly Express is the most pitiful title on market, worse than the star which doesn't pretend that it is for anyone other than idiots. There, you reeled me in. But anyway. Clyne. Great. If true. Just De-Clyne to comment
scotty Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 It's the sister paper of the Daily Express (the most honourable paper on the market - which i read) The only newspaper I ever buy is the IHT. The Express is just as bad as any other UK paper.
dune Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 In that case you are loopy. The Di-ly Express is the most pitiful title on market, worse than the star which doesn't pretend that it is for anyone other than idiots. There, you reeled me in. But anyway. Clyne. Great. If true. It's the only paper fully behind an exit from the EU, but yes i do agree that some of it's Diana/weather/miracle cures stories are a bit painful.
benjii Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 A new thread to quote the Star? Really? That's Patred for you.
sammysaint Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 I would like to think when a paper says they have signed that there is some truth to it rather then the usual paper talk of saints are set to sign, hopefully we have agreed at least a fee and or personal terms and waiting for it to be signed off by the PL and FL, great signing at a bargin, rumours were teams like Utd were looking at him for cover before his injury, i think 1.5 is great if he doesn't fulfil his promise in the PL, we know he is a very good championship player and can recop that money from a championship club. Just need a RM GK and a CB, and we have a squad ready for a safe 14th/15th position finish.
Toomer Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 SSN saying Palace have only given us permission to talk to him.
Chez Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 SSN saying Palace have only given us permission to talk to him. thought he was out of contract?
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 thought he was out of contract? Yes, we can talk to him without needing any permission from CP.
itchen_dan Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 Nixon said he was down here yesterday talking just football. Wonder if he'll talk finance today and get it wrapped up before the Liebherr Cup tonight? Little presentation on the pitch?
SaintNeil90 Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 SSN saying Palace have only given us permission to talk to him. He is out of contract. We dont need permission
Saint Charlie Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 Perhaps being unveiled today? Doubt it. These things take time.
View From The Top Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 Doubt it. These things take time. Depends as to whether the deal was done yesterday or not.

Glasgow_Saint Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 As I'm sure you are aware, that article is dated 22nd March. Phew!! Thanks matthew i missed that
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 http://www.london24.com/sport/championship/crystal-palace/chairman_ready_for_battle_over_newcastle_west_ham_man_city_man_utd_southampton_fulham_reading_target_1_1445069? This somewhat conflicts with the other report.
CB Fry Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 This somewhat conflicts with the other report. ...in the Star. The Star don't bother with the conventions of the form - ie Clyne is 'set to sign' - they just speak definitively and hope.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 I`ve been supporting Saints so long that I will say JAYYYY when it´s on the OS - hopefully it´s true now though THEVMAN said it is happening too, so as near as dammit to OS.
suewhistle Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 I kept a vague eye on him when we played Palace (watched it on saintsplayer) as he's been in our sights for some time, and was slightly disappointed but as pointed out, not a great idea to put him on Rickie. What I did like in that Youtube video was his pace, and the fact that he didn't give up. He lost the ball or was intercepted but went back and retrieved, not relying on someone else to cover and pick up the loose pieces.With his pace a number of times he was first to the free ball when at first it didn't seem likely. I'll keep an optimistic eye on the OS next week....
Glasgow_Saint Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 I have just watched 3 FULL CP games back-to-back
iansums Posted 14 July, 2012 Posted 14 July, 2012 I have just watched 3 FULL CP games back-to-back ...and your conclusion is?
