Junction 9 Posted 21 August, 2012 Posted 21 August, 2012 Has anyone else heard the Gaston Ramirez rumour?
S-Clarke Posted 21 August, 2012 Posted 21 August, 2012 Has anyone else heard the Gaston Ramirez rumour? Nope, not a thing. What have you heard?
S-Clarke Posted 21 August, 2012 Posted 21 August, 2012 Still think Adomah would be a good addition, if the Phillips one doesn't happen.
alpine_saint Posted 21 August, 2012 Posted 21 August, 2012 Doesnt matter who is available, at what price, we still conspire to screw transfers up. Disappointing summer of activity, have to say. And not enough to guarantee PL football next season...........
SuperSAINT Posted 21 August, 2012 Posted 21 August, 2012 Still think Adomah would be a good addition, if the Phillips one doesn't happen. Agreed. All went quiet on the Zaha front as well.

And not enough to guarantee PL football next season........... There you go, talking as if you know what's going on, and that it's already September 1st'. It isn't. Adkins has said he will sign players before the window. We will. Sit tight. Don't panic.
Saint Charlie Posted 21 August, 2012 Posted 21 August, 2012 Adomah overrated no end product, his goal tonight his first in the league since scoring against us apparently. Matt Phillips scores tonight.
Mr Saints Posted 21 August, 2012 Posted 21 August, 2012 Doesnt matter who is available, at what price, we still conspire to screw transfers up. Disappointing summer of activity, have to say. And not enough to guarantee PL football next season........... Cortese out.

Adkins has said he will sign players before the window. We will. Sit tight. Don't panic. NA said we have 2 new signings before the City game and we're still ******* waiting!
Matthew Le God Posted 21 August, 2012 Posted 21 August, 2012 NA said we have 2 new signings before the City game and we're still ******* waiting! No he didn't.
S-Clarke Posted 21 August, 2012 Posted 21 August, 2012 NA said we have 2 new signings before the City game and we're still ******* waiting! He never said that. Where have people got that quote from? He said the ''endeavors'' are there to get players in before the start of the season, but if they don't manage it we still have until the end of August - and that's where he was more certain.
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 21 August, 2012 Posted 21 August, 2012 What? You posted as if he was ''set to sign''. When in fact he isn't. QPR have made a bid which hasn't even been accepted. therefore he isn't set to sign. He may do at some point, but they've only made a bid at this stage. He's having a medical tomorrow. He's agreed terms & Spurs have accepted QPR's bid. That sounds pretty solid to me. However, I accept that these things can still go tits up.
Webby Posted 21 August, 2012 Posted 21 August, 2012 Don't you just hate the transfer window. Most clubs would like to get their signings in before the start of the season but due to the inherent nature of the window, most business gets done in the final few days, after the season has started. Ridiculous.
Thedelldays Posted 21 August, 2012 Posted 21 August, 2012 You should see the butland horror show tonight His head's gone

However, I accept that these things can still go tits up. Wasn't the case when you posted the thread though it's also for 10m+, didn't think it would ever be the 5m. Something is iffy with this transfer, have they discovered he has a really bad incurable injury or something? Seems such a quick transfer for a player who was their captain last year.
MOSaint Posted 21 August, 2012 Posted 21 August, 2012 Dawson had severe ankle injury last season, ruptured ligaments I believe.
S-Clarke Posted 21 August, 2012 Posted 21 August, 2012 Dawson had severe ankle injury last season, ruptured ligaments I believe. There we go then. Quite clearly related to that, you don't go from being a first name on the team sheet to being farmed out of the door for a cut priced fee if all is ok...More fool QPR maybe.

Mind you, he could probably defend better on crutches than Clint hill.

Hammond was our captain last year - it wouldn't bother me if we sold him

Adkins has said he will sign players before the window. We will. Sit tight. Don't panic. Your faith is laudable, but if you cannot see that not only are deals going tits up, meaning time is short to identify new options, but also thanks to the Ramirez deal and the amounts of money that were quoted, we are going to have to pay through the nose for whoever we do identify (making it questionable that NC will close any of them), then you are being a bit silly.

Alps do you really think we only do one deal at a time. i am sure there are a whole number of targets lined up and we all know that most deals happen closer to the end of the window when the selling clubs begin to panic! Keep the faith we will be OK!
JoeShmoe Posted 22 August, 2012 Posted 22 August, 2012 Fulham are favourites to get Douglas for 4.5m from Twente. Has a dutch pasport, surely we should have been all over that?
hypochondriac Posted 22 August, 2012 Posted 22 August, 2012 We need to get a move on RE signings. This Ramirez saga has distracted everyone but we are just over a week away and we are still in desperate need for signings in other areas.
Gingeletiss Posted 22 August, 2012 Posted 22 August, 2012 NA said we have 2 new signings before the City game and we're still ******* waiting! No he didn't...Jeezzzz!! He said he'd like to get a couple in before the Man City game............our fans!!!
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 22 August, 2012 Posted 22 August, 2012 Alps do you really think we only do one deal at a time. i am sure there are a whole number of targets lined up and we all know that most deals happen closer to the end of the window when the selling clubs begin to panic! Keep the faith we will be OK! Why are you convinced that we do? Every player we have bought this year we have been heavily linked with by the press. This has diminished. As a lot of people say we should wait until the end of the window, but when we don't sign anyone else there will be another excuse ready from those who are happy to have a team of Championship players.
Chez Posted 22 August, 2012 Posted 22 August, 2012 anyone else wonder if Ince might be as good if not better than Philips?

They did not play like Championship Players at the weekend ! Why the overt rush to sign a load of galactico's - If we get the right players at the right price to add to the fine squad we already have then no problem with me.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 22 August, 2012 Posted 22 August, 2012 anyone else wonder if Ince might be as good if not better than Philips? It's been mentioned a lot, Ince is the better player.

But we still conceded 3 goals and it was clear we have a weakness in defence.

Why not good quality Premiership footballers. And 3 of our 4 defenders and our keeper played like Championship players.

Foxstone Posted 22 August, 2012 Posted 22 August, 2012 Why galacticos? Why not good quality Premiership footballers. And 3 of our 4 defenders and our keeper played like Championship players. ****** Clyne was MOTM with Jose not far behind.. Jos was fine and learnt that playing against divers like Tevez means don't leave your foot there , and Fox's headed clearance apart played OK too. Kelvin saved a penalty too by the way.. What good quality premiership footballers would you want? The knackered Dawson perhaps, the tainted Charlie Adam... ??? We have a great squad with a great spirt and it has to be the right sort of player we bring in to fit in with the fine system and ethos we already possess.

saint lard Posted 22 August, 2012 Posted 22 August, 2012 QPR agree to take centre back Ricardo Carvalho on loan from Real Madrid. imo,that is a very good move for them. my concerns over transfer activity,especially in this position is ever increasing.

Dawson and Cavalho eh ? It smells of panic down there in West London, and they are clearly much more concerned after their 5-0 home drubbing, than we are after our close result against the best team in the land.
Foxstone Posted 22 August, 2012 Posted 22 August, 2012 Your banging your head against a brick wall, some are just natural bed wetters! Good job that some of us can remain calm then Ginge !

Why would we want Adam, we don't need another CM, or do you think he's a CB? If not that's rather irrelevant to mention him. Edited 22 August, 2012 by Dibden Purlieu Saint

NickG Posted 22 August, 2012 Posted 22 August, 2012 But we still conceded 3 goals and it was clear we have a weakness in defence. if you want to judge our defence in one game, maybe judging them against a forward line that score 11 against man u last season isn't best choice! or maybe makes 3 look ok! child like panic and repeating same views that keep being proven wrong is humourous! look at squad start of each summer window, and league position , then look at start of the next summer window. no chairman, club deserves more confidence from fans. two signings so far look v good.

You said "Good Quality Premiership Footballers" - Would Adam suit your requirement or is it just defenders you are weeing your pants for for? Then why not Dann then, he has been a "Premiership Defender" but cannot play a pass to feet to save his life! Agree Douglas is a decent player but is he "Premiership Class" - He has never played in it yet ! I think I appreciate football better than you, and also appreciate a defence pitted up against world class strikers who despite being profligate in places struggled to beat us. We will not play against that concentration of world class forwards again this season ( other than when they come to SMS), and we coped bloody well at a place where the chance of an away team winning points is almost nil. You might be a panicky, stressy person on these matters but many of us are not, and trust our club leaders in such matters.

You might be a panicky, stressy person on these matters but many of us are not, and trust our club leaders in such matters. Why suggest Dann, I said good quality? I would say Douglas is Premiership class yes, bit most defenders from the continent won't have played in the Prem so it's difficult to say difinitively that they are Prem class. I'm not panicky or stressy at all, but we have been looking for CB's all Summer and we are no closer to signing any. I think the phrase "weeing your pants" is a bit extreme when all that is happening is that we are questioning our transfer strategy. Adam would be on the cusp. He's average, but his delivery from set pieces is very good. Either way we don't need him. Over the last few weeks I have named nearly 15 players who have been available this Summer, have been attainable and would add the requisite quality to our squad so I am not going to do it again, but if you want to have a look then feel free.

JustMike Posted 22 August, 2012 Posted 22 August, 2012 So, we have a page full of people arguing about whether NA said something or not. This is the reason the original HCDAJFU thread was locked. Please keep this thread on topic, i.e players we are linked to. Thanks
