MOSaint Posted 22 August, 2012 Posted 22 August, 2012 Saints in for Olsson: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4500370/Southampton-battle-Sunderland-and-Villa-for-Martin-Olsson.html Would be a welcome addition.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Getting back the the thread, someone is saying on twitter that they have been told that we have agreed a fee of 5.2m for Evertons Johnny Heitinga???? CHDAJFU?? Isnt he a regular in the Everton side? Be good if true
beatlesaint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Glad we're still in for a left back After the way Fox was exposed time and time again on Sunday its just as well. Now all the Fox fans will crucify me for that I'm sure but before you go too mad just take a look subjectively at him on Saturday at how often he leaves his man completely or gives him acres of space. Teams will soon target that flank when playing against us.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Who was responsible for the stuuupid 'defensive' header that set-up Man C 3rd goal?
St Chalet Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 After the way Fox was exposed time and time again on Sunday its just as well.Now all the Fox fans will crucify me for that I'm sure but before you go too mad just take a look subjectively at him on Saturday at how often he leaves his man completely or gives him acres of space. Teams will soon target that flank when playing against us.I agree about Fox, he is a weak link. The other thing is he gives possession away and can't build from the back. Maybe this was a JR thing in Sunday, but he didn't links well with Lallana last year often choosing to hoof the ball rather than build up in other ways once closed down.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Olssen is awful defensively (proper bad), but great going forward, so unsure if he'll make any difference to Fox.
Saint Charlie Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Olssen is awful defensively (proper bad), but great going forward, so unsure if he'll make any difference to Fox. Yeah he mostly plays midfield for Blackburn if I have the right brother.
S-Clarke Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Nixon on twitter says we have a ''bizarre'' target he is trying to firm up. Not sure if that's bizarre in a good or bad way though.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Nixon on twitter says we have a ''bizarre'' target he is trying to firm up. Not sure if that's bizarre in a good or bad way though. does Nixon Tweet about other clubs or just Southampton?
itchen_dan Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 (edited) Nixon on twitter says we have a ''bizarre'' target he is trying to firm up. Not sure if that's bizarre in a good or bad way though. Reckon its that El Kaddouri (?) we've been linked with as the Ramirez alternative. Edited 23 August, 2012 by itchen_dan
Gingeletiss Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Nixon on twitter says we have a ''bizarre'' target he is trying to firm up. Not sure if that's bizarre in a good or bad way though. Think he's referring to Kevin Pieterson, will play at centre half, and will be told that all the opposition forwards are called Strauss
Saint Garrett Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Reckon by bizarre he means someone who is against our 'standard' transfer policy this summer.
JustMike Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 I started to select posts to delete and realised there would be nothing left. So I am going to leave as a memorial to what a bunch of dullards you are and bringing down the forum. And before you start bleating he / said she said, I along with 95% of the forum, don't give a ****. So STFU and get back on topic - pretty please with sugar on top. Just want to reiterate this.....scrolling back through the last couple of pages were the exact reason the last HCDAJFU thread was locked!
itchen_dan Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Reckon by bizarre he means someone who is against our 'standard' transfer policy this summer. Could be. Possibly someone who is potentially alot older than the younger players we've tended to go for or someone who he feels wouldn't benefit the team as much. Sounds interesting though. It could also potentially be an extremely extremely ambitious signing that Nixon sees as bizarre as he knows we dont stand a chance in hell of getting him?
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Yeah he mostly plays midfield for Blackburn if I have the right brother. You do indeed.
mulletsaint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Reckon its that El Kaddouri (?) we've been linked with as the Ramirez alternative. Think you an me might be the only ones who can see that name.
mulletsaint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Just want to reiterate this.....scrolling back through the last couple of pages were the exact reason the last HCDAJFU thread was locked! Lucky for us you weren't on duty last night then eh?
JustMike Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Lucky for us you weren't on duty last night then eh? Would have done the same as other mods did last night. We want to keep this going but need you lot to play nice
Saint Charlie Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Reckon its that El Kaddouri (?) we've been linked with as the Ramirez alternative. He is a very good prospect. Fast and skilful winger.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 step forward everyone that has seen Brescia play 5-10x last season and claim this guy is a "Fast and skilful winger" He is a very good prospect. Fast and skilful winger.
mulletsaint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 He is a very good prospect. Fast and skilful winger. Although looking at the YouTube video highlights he's not a patch on Ramirez
Saint Charlie Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Haha - he is though! Well from the You Tube clips that show that Steve De Ridder is exactly the same.
itchen_dan Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Dont like the sound of this.... Zoggers87: @reluctantnicko @tcumner1986 Is the bizarre target instead of Ramirez? Bizarre good or bad? reluctantnicko: @Zoggers87 @tcumner1986 Too bizarre to believe. Striker. No good.
mulletsaint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Would have done the same as other mods did last night. We want to keep this going but need you lot to play nice Hmm, but if you're gonna treat us and we're gonna act like naughty school children, maybe you need to make one or two of us sit on the naughty step more often.

Saint Charlie Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Is that no, good or no good? No good. Hopefully not true.

Bizarre good or bad? reluctantnicko: @Zoggers87 @tcumner1986 Too bizarre to believe. Striker. No good. I don't believe for one moment we are looking at another striker.
mulletsaint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Is that no, good or no good? Lol, was thinking the same. Would hope a journo would know basic punctuation tho. This one makes me nervous though. Someone out of retirement? Someone from the past? Maybe we need a list of strikers that don't score and has beens.

Saint Charlie Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Its only a link and he said he probably doesn't believe it anyway. Will be interesting to hear what NA says today. He obviously won't give specifics but you can usually tell from his demeanour when talking about transfers whether he is pleased with progress....
JustMike Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Hmm, but if you're gonna treat us and we're gonna act like naughty school children, maybe you need to make one or two of us sit on the naughty step more often. there isn't enough room!

Bizarre good or bad? reluctantnicko: @Zoggers87 @tcumner1986 Too bizarre to believe. Striker. No good. Probably someone like David Goodwillie
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Pretty sure that's a 'he is no good'. Perhaps another ex-S****horpe player?!!
itchen_dan Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Probably someone like David Goodwillie I think that is who he is on about. He isnt that bad but wouldnt be a bad squad player but no more than that.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Probably someone like David Goodwillie That would be amazeballs imho
Glasgow_Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Probably someone like David Goodwillie Can you start a new thead on this? I would but Justmike is watching me closely
Frank's cousin Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 (edited) ... wonder if we might be interested in Walcott.... ducks.... out of ocntract at end of season and 4-5mil might clinich it? could be used wide or through teh middle and considered a striker or sorts? Too stupid to mention? Edited 23 August, 2012 by Frank's cousin
Gingeletiss Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Would have done the same as other mods did last night. We want to keep this going but need you lot to play nice Get rid of the Trolls then...........easy solution imho.
mulletsaint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 there isn't enough room! Lol, good point. Still believe it tho.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Get rid of the Trolls then...........easy solution imho. Q) How boring would this place be without them!? A) VERY
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 (edited) I think that is who he is on about. He isnt that bad but wouldnt be a bad squad player but no more than that. Didn't he move to Derby a few days ago? EDIT: Was thinking about Connor Sammon. Edited 23 August, 2012 by Dibden Purlieu Saint
S-Clarke Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Weird one. He plays out wide as well as up front, so fits the type of player we're after. I'm not writing him off though. I stand by the fact that Blackburn was a nightmare to be part of, and any new additions wouldn't have too easy a job integrating into that mess. I think he's a decent player and with the right support around him could be a threat, but I must admit it's a step down from who we have been linked with. I think what may have happened is that press have got hold of one of our alternatives, and we probably have shed loads of alternatives.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Didn't he move to Derby a few days ago? EDIT: Was thinking about Connor Sammon. Feed the fish and he will score! Saw him for Killie a few times before his move to Wigan - was superb in the SPL. Him and Alexei Eremenko were brilliant for 12 months
Saint Garrett Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Goodwillie is absolutely dreadful. I'd say Lambert/Sharp/Rodriguez/Guly/Barnard/Puncheon/Lallana could all do better jobs than him.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Goodwillie is absolutely dreadful. I'd say Lambert/Sharp/Rodriguez/Guly/Barnard/Puncheon/Lallana could all do better jobs than him. secret Blackburn fan or used tio watch Dundee United alot?

I liken it to dating Sofia Vergara but not closing the deal and then going home with Susan Boyle.
beatlesaint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 David Goodwillie ? No thanks, I would rather stick with Puncheon, and thats saying something !
david in sweden Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Goodwillie is absolutely dreadful. I'd say Lambert/Sharp/Rodriguez/Guly/Barnard/Puncheon/Lallana could all do better jobs than him. should we say NOW....that there is no evidence that it is Goodwillie.....it was only the contributor's sarcastic comment / suggestion. see # 436. I've looked back again and nowhere did the SOURCE name anyone ! .....so let's drop that one now.
