maysie Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Andy Chambers @Shroomtuesdays I have just heard that #SaintsFC have enquired about Marek Hamsik from Napoli. He must be worth £20m Ha ha ha ha

Saint Garrett Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 It'll be Del Piero Nixon is on about. It wasn't, It was Goodwillie. Apparently he thinks we're interested in him. Can't see it myself...
Webby Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 It wasn't, It was Goodwillie. Apparently he thinks we're interested in him. Can't see it myself... Unless I've missed something, Nixon has not said its Goodwillie.
itchen_dan Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 Unless I've missed something, Nixon has not said its Goodwillie. He has. He tweeted it this morning. reluctantnicko: @cj_garrett Goodwillie thinks Southampton may want him ... Would be a surprise.
Webby Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 He has. He tweeted it this morning. reluctantnicko: @cj_garrett Goodwillie thinks Southampton may want him ... Would be a surprise. Ok, strange tweet, but I guess it's a mention. He thinks we may want him?
ibizasaint Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 So are we signing Del Piero or Goodwillie? Both good names to have on a shirt.
S-Clarke Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 West Ham complete the signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Matt Jarvis in a deal worth up to £10.75m. Good player, but come on. Almost 11m?? Gaston will cost us tops £12m Why did WHU not baulk at that??
Saint Charlie Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 West Ham and QPR are stupid. They don't seem to have nay kind of transfer policy apart from pick up some fairly average players for expensive fees. Jarvis is ok for 6m or so, but he has 1 England cap in an era where they hand them out like confetti and is not a 10m player.

Almost 11m?? Gaston will cost us tops £12m Why did WHU not baulk at that?? Because BFS is a cretin and for some reason, despite nearly jumping off Tower Bridge when he found out the true state of West Ham's finances, Gold is repeating the mistakes of the previous administrations by bank rolling it!
Saint Garrett Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 Love the fact that WHU are 80/90m in debt but still happy spending money they dont have. Seems very blind. Really hope they go down again.
Saint Charlie Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 Allardyce is a moron but the Owners are worse.
SuperSAINT Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 Sky Sports understands Sunderland in talks with Manchester City winger Adam Johnson.
Saint Garrett Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 Sky Sports understands Sunderland in talks with Manchester City winger Adam Johnson. £10m + £100k/week. He gets his move back up to the north east. Sure that'll go through.
S-Clarke Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 The WH owner said their Carroll bid would have put them in financial trouble but they wanted to do it anyway. How is that allowed? If you have wealthy owners, fine, but building up debt you can't service? Then again, using the PFC model why not just write it all off. The key issue seems to be, if you're going to risk the club by signing one expensive player, is it not better to sign 5 or 6? The worst case scenario remains the same, yet your chances of success increase dramatically. Their owners are morons. Everyone is tipping them to be fine, oh how I'd love to see them drop into the mire.

They would have only paid £2m for him for a year and then £17m if they stayed up. and his £80k a week wages. Yes it is a lot but having just paif £10 for Jarvis who is probably on £50/60k surely they're in as much mess as they would have been with Carroll. Also...are they signing Drenthe ?

supersonic Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 Why are people still clinging onto every word the mirror journalist writes?
S-Clarke Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 Why are people still clinging onto every word the mirror journalist writes? I didn't think we were? Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a transfer discussion thread. Therefore any rumours of players linked to us can get discussed on here.
mulletsaint Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 Why are people still clinging onto every word the mirror journalist writes? Why are you still playing like a stuck record? There are infinite questions, only we already know the answer to some of them.
Saint Garrett Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 Why are people still clinging onto every word the mirror journalist writes? If you don't like the thread or what is being discussed, ignore it. It's not affecting you....
St Mikie Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 Love the fact that WHU are 80/90m in debt but still happy spending money they dont have. Seems very blind. Really hope they go down again. I was pondering on the same thing. They have been the most active in the market and are still going. Whereare they getting all the money from? Then at the end of the day they will play a game which will involve hoofing the ball up toa great lump at the front and hope that the majority go in!
Saint Garrett Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 Diame/Diarra/Jarvis/Maiga/Collins wont be on small wages certainly!
Saint Charlie Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 Chez won't be happy - his long time target Lee Cook is joining Leyton Orient. In all seriousness, it shows how far we have come - he was a decent suggestion a couple of summers ago.
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 Football Juice @Football_Juice French papers are reporting Southampton have had an €8m bid accepted by Rennes for Jean Armel-Kana Biyik. More as this develops.

Whereare they getting all the money from? Then at the end of the day they will play a game which will involve hoofing the ball up toa great lump at the front and hope that the majority go in! They are in severe financial do-do. I had a link to the West Ham site West Ham Til I Die which had an interview with David Sullivan which was published on their website around the turn of the year. It has since been pulled, largely I would bet because it painted West Ham in such a bad light... Confirmed the debts at circa £90m Confirmed this seasons season ticket money was spoken for in the same way as the Rangers/Ticketus fiasco. Also stated that they still owed Sheff Utd up to £20m (as best I can recall) for the Tevez affair payable by 2013 Those are the bits that I can remember, there was bit more to it as well. The title, which I do have saved from messaging it to a mate was 'We Were the Most Insolvent Club in the Country'.
Jonnyboy Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 What papers? Where's ART or Wndow Cleaner when you need them?
S-Clarke Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=724855 - first I've heard of that?
JoeShmoe Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 14m for Fletcher, holy ****. That and 11m for Jarvis, 9m for Dawson etc, huge overpaying going on by some clubs. Some like Swansea doing really good business

itchen_dan Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=724855 - first I've heard of that? I'd take him! Very competant keeper. Solid, good shot stopper, great ability at crosses. Would be our 2nd choice for a year or so and then challenge with Gazza for no. 1 shirt.
Saint Charlie Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 I'd take him! Very competant keeper. Solid, good shot stopper, great ability at crosses. Would be our 2nd choice for a year or so and then challenge with Gazza for no. 1 shirt. If we bring another keeper in aside from Cropper who will be with the Dev squad then I think it should be someone capable of being no 1 now. Otherwise with Gazza we will just have the same situation we had with Bart - good keeper with potential but never gets any games and then loses confidence. IMO they are looking at Gazza to take over the no 1 shirt next year.
Saint J 77 Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 With both Gaston Ramirez and Matt Phillips potential transfers dead, I think I'd would settle for just one decent centre back in now before the transfer window shuts.

maysie Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 With both Gaston Ramirez and Matt Phillips potential transfers dead, I think I'd would settle for just one decent centre back in now before the transfer window shuts. How do you know for definite they are both dead??

Saint J 77 Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 Sorry, I mean't to say With both Gaston Ramirez and Matt Phillips potential transfers looking like they are dead. I'm not ITK. I just drew that conclusion from the information I have read on both their current threads on here.
Saint J 77 Posted 24 August, 2012 Posted 24 August, 2012 He be Trollin' I wasn't trolling, please read my above post.
