Webby Posted 24 August, 2012 Share Posted 24 August, 2012 I would be amazed if we don't sign 2 or even 3 players before the transfer window shuts. Whether that includes Phillips and Ramirez remains to be seen, but given the fees involved in just those 2 deals, I would be surprised if we don't pull off other high profile signings. There's also the rumour of an €8m bid for that Biyik fella, so there's definitely money in the pot to be spent in this window. We just have to sit and wait.

saint lard Posted 24 August, 2012 Share Posted 24 August, 2012 Should make for an interesting last few days of the transfer window. Atleast SFC are linked to trying to get players in instead of all and sundry heading for the exit door ,as per recent transfer windows prior to the Leibherr/Cortese reign.

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 24 August, 2012 Share Posted 24 August, 2012 Another week gone and nothing more than more rumours to show for it. The trouble with brinkmanship is that the closer to the edge you go, then the greater the risk of a very nasty fall you run. Tonight we have a squad that may well struggle to get out of the bottom six places this season. Now if the chairman really wants to do something about that perilous state of affairs then (to state the obvious again) he better start getting some good players signed pretty damn quick. So a interesting week ahead then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be amazed if we do sign more than one more player before the window slams shut - and if we do I bet it won't be a big signing. That's not to say we don't need to strengthen the squad - we do - but all I'm expecting now is a relatively unknown centre back for a relatively small fee, a failed premier league player like Dann or Berra for more money than their worth or someone on loan from another club whose been left out of the 25 man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather Posted 24 August, 2012 Share Posted 24 August, 2012 I'm getting frustrated now, not bothered about another attacking options ie: Phillips or Ramirez but would quite happily do with a couple of defenders and not leaving until deadline day.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 24 August, 2012 Share Posted 24 August, 2012 The only nagging concern for me is that there's no fall back position of the loan window to fall back on as in the Champ and League 1. Still in NC & NA we trust & hope for a couple of decent, maybe even exciting, signings before the window closes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggface Posted 24 August, 2012 Share Posted 24 August, 2012 The other teams have got some good signings in. The club knows we need quality reinforcements but ultimately we need to judge when the window closes. At this moment in time however I'm a little worried. his time next week I hope we have made huge strides or it will be a long old season. 3-5 players could make or break our season. Would love to see Ramirez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted 24 August, 2012 Share Posted 24 August, 2012 I know what you mean this new way the club is run will never see us get out of this league 1... I never said I think the club is being run badly - it's been a success story for the most part for the last three years - but then I don't think everything has been run perfectly either. It's not a case of black and white - it's 50 shades of grey! The way the whole Pardew issue was handled two summers ago probably cost us the League One Title and the delay in bringing in players in January probably cost us the Championship. I suspect Cortese is still on a learning curve when it comes to transfer negotiations in the football world. And in my opinion the club got the season ticket pricing wrong this summer - and this season the home and away shirts have been a bit of mistake. They look like Liverpool shirts - not Saints shirts - and for this reason it looks like shirt sales haven't exactly been great - when for our first season back in the premier league they should have been great. I've only seen a few new shirts around - when this time last year and the year before they were all over the place. But overall the powers that be at the club have got far more right than wrong which is why we're back in the Premier League after two successive promotions.

Your dismissiveness is now threadbare. I now have question marks about whether we can maintain our PL position. Talking out of your arse again I see and oblivious to it as per. I think it's the 'massively underwhelming transfer window' that does it. Yes things are getting a bit squeaky bum but there's another fricken week left yet! State your disappointment, say we're leaving it late but don't condemn anyone until its actually panned out the way you're dreading. Then moan as much as you want, there'll probably even be a few more that then agree with you. It's also the fact that you said the same thing yesterday. What's changed?

saintfully Posted 25 August, 2012 Share Posted 25 August, 2012 Youknow my views on this matter, I stated them quite clearly back in May. Unless there is a sudden increase in activity I may prove to be very correct in my opinion.....but as you suggest i will wait the transfer deadline to be proven right. This seems to be a reasonable position - hope you're pessimism proves unjustified. Personally I expect at least two more signings and a top 12 finish.

rshephard3 Posted 25 August, 2012 Share Posted 25 August, 2012 Would happily see us pull the plug on this Ramirez deal and concentrate on getting in an excellent centre half. Michael Dawson, for example, is available and it strikes me that Bologna are messing us around somewhat in these dealings. I'm often critical of Saints in such dealings but in this case it seems we're not to blame, from what I can make out. All the while, Swansea are signing Celtics best player, Sunderland are bringing in Johnson/Fletcher, yes paying big cash but undoubtedly strengthening. I hope we don't leave it too late, COYR, get some quality in and splash some cash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
