jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 I'm not reading into it but I saw it and it does make you wonder. Team and everyone else still out in Barca but communication officer flies back early, presumably with Tom Coull (cameraman). Curious? EDIT: Also photographer has flown back @Wattsypics: Back in England after a very encouraging few days with squad in Spain. There looking hot! Very impressed with new set up #saintsfc U18 game tomorrow maybe the reason
St.Patrik Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 They probably found some pics with NA on it at St.Marys and need the Photoshop gang back ASAP ; )
Norm Posted 26 January, 2013 Posted 26 January, 2013 They probably found some pics with NA on it at St.Marys and need the Photoshop gang back ASAP ; ) Naughty but possibly true.
ozzmeister Posted 26 January, 2013 Posted 26 January, 2013 Cortese on sky sports tomorrow 6pm, maybe that's it?
saint lard Posted 26 January, 2013 Posted 26 January, 2013 He flew back early with filming equipment,for the academy game today.he has stated this is the reason.
Saint Charlie Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 Sunderland have had a 5m bid for Zarate turned down but are still favourites to get him.
Elias Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 I can't really see any more signings during the window. It'd be a shame really as the squad depth isn't great.
Appy Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 I can't really see any more signings during the window. It'd be a shame really as the squad depth isn't great. Why do you think this?
Matthew Le God Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 Natural pessimism. - Even after -10 points and 24th in League One in 2009 to 15th in the Premier League in 2013? - Even after circa £37m spent on players already this season? - Even after Cortese sacking Adkins and appointing a new manager to take Saints to the top 6 in 3/4 years? I doubt we are done for transfers this window.

Matthew Le God Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 I didn't start supporting Saints in 2009........ Rupert Lowe and Guy Askam aren't running the club anymore.
Saint Charlie Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 Im a positive fan but also not convinced we will add anyone else. Clearly CB was the no 1 priority which we have covered. Coutinho aside (and reports conflict as to how interested we actually were) there havent really been a whole load of links. Pochettino in his interviews has been keen to stress he will look at Academy players before bringing players in. A wide player would help but IMO is not an essential. Plus we have spent a lot this season already, and havent sold anyone for any kind of fee to recoup anything. Would be nice to be suprised but Im not expecting anything next week.

Though it would be nice to have another potential signing rumoured to give us something to talk about!

SB Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 Why do you think this? Have you not seen how poor the subs bench is? Zero impact players.
Appy Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 Have you not seen how poor the subs bench is? Zero impact players. I think you have just quoted me for no reason, what I said has nothing to do with what you just said.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 I think you have just quoted me for no reason, what I said has nothing to do with what you just said. Agreed, but needs more games imho
Bearsy Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 I think you have just quoted me for no reason, what I said has nothing to do with what you just said. I've probably not seen as much of Redmond as you, but Birmingham are desperate for dollar so I agree we may be able to get him cheap.
Super_Saint Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 I think you have just quoted me for no reason, what I said has nothing to do with what you just said. Yes, I'd be very surprised if we didn't strengthen there tbh, clearly we have had targets.
Appy Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 I've probably not seen as much of Redmond as you, but Birmingham are desperate for dollar so I agree we may be able to get him cheap. I don't see why Cortese and Le Tissier can't just bury the hatchet.
JoeShmoe Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 If we did have 10m to spend on Countinho I wouldn't be surprised if we spent it somewhere, such as Ince or Biglia or Cajellon
CeeBee Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 If we did have 10m to spend on Countinho I wouldn't be surprised if we spent it somewhere, such as Ince or Biglia or Cajellon Don't think we will go English with Ince, but reckon he would be good value at £7-8 million.
Saint Charlie Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 If we did have 10m to spend on Countinho I wouldn't be surprised if we spent it somewhere, such as Ince or Biglia or Cajellon We might just wait til the right player is available in the summer. Will be interesting to see. These big money deals take time to put together and there are 4 days left...
Tokyo-Saint Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 I think you have just quoted me for no reason, what I said has nothing to do with what you just said. I don't think he will ever get an international call up while playing in England but I see what you are saying. Could be a good option as this other guy has gone to Liverpool.
mulletsaint Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 Don't think we will go English with Ince, but reckon he would be good value at £7-8 million. Apologies if already mentioned but Sky are reporting Reading have now bid for Ince.
Saint Charlie Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 Would be suprised if Ince was interested in Reading. Also that Firmino rumour started on here is online in the Mail today.
Smirking_Saint Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 I don't think he will ever get an international call up while playing in England but I see what you are saying.

Thedelldays Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 read on a few places that we have bid for Callejon from real madrid.... he was one of MP star players when espanyol were doing well.....hence got sold to madrid
wireframebox Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 Would be suprised if Ince was interested in Reading. Also that Firmino rumour started on here is online in the Mail today. That's outrageous! Maybe you've alerted our scouts to him?... oooor the papers are full of ****?
Saint Charlie Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 read on a few places that we have bid for Callejon from real madrid.... he was one of MP star players when espanyol were doing well.....hence got sold to madrid Mainly reported by a Saints WUM on Twitter. He is part of their squad so v unlikely of that happening.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 I agree, Bacon sandwiches are far better than Sausage no matter what flavour sausages you use. You need to get the right bread though Sauce? * *first and only time this makes sense, please never reuse.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 28 January, 2013 Author Posted 28 January, 2013 Don't think we will go English with Ince, but reckon he would be good value at £7-8 million. He wouldn't be that much imho.
SuperSAINT Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 He wouldn't be that much imho. Yeah, Liverpool bid 6 million, but that was rejected. I always assumed that because they had the big sell-on clause. So he's probably available to anyone else for 6 million.
Saint Garrett Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 But despite the fact of the sell on clause, surely Liverpool will still get the money for him, and Blackpool will still get the same amount!?
Saint Charlie Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 Will be interesting to hear what MP says later re whether we will be bringing anyone in.
SuperSAINT Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 But despite the fact of the sell on clause, surely Liverpool will still get the money for him, and Blackpool will still get the same amount!? Fair point I actually think Ince has got more end product than Zaha. 8 Million is still a lot of money for him. Bet he still ends up at Liverpool.
Saint Garrett Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 I think the main thing about Ince is that he's only 20 and scores goals. Don't think he'd be a great fit for Liverpool, but for a lower Prem side he'd be a good signing.
Saint Charlie Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 Still think Phillips would be good but he is just coming back from injury at the moment.
tajjuk Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 Why has everyone gone off Phillips so quickly? Fans (and clubs quite often) seem to base so much on form rather than ability/potential. Phillips looked brilliant a year ago. The ability and potential is still there, and his price no doubt far lower. Personally thought Ince was the better player last year, or at least the one with more potential.
SuperSAINT Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 You'd have thought if Phillips was a 'committee' target, that we'd still have an interest in him.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 But despite the fact of the sell on clause, surely Liverpool will still get the money for him, and Blackpool will still get the same amount!? The issue with sell on clause is that Liverpool have an automatic built in advantage in any bidiing auction as they can bid a figure nett of the sell on amount and all others have to bid a figure including the sell on amount!

tajjuk Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 Leroy Fer signed by Everton for £8.5 million, no real 'rumours' beforehand about this one until ealrier today so maybe some people can keep transfers quiet.
Thedelldays Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 I thought everton were completely skint... they always find some money
S-Clarke Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 I thought everton were completely skint... they always find some money tbf they've probably just got another installment on the Rodwell deal, that will be worth up to £20m when all is paid up. They didn't spend much of that in the summer.
Saint Charlie Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 I thought everton were completely skint... they always find some money Yep. Jelavic 7m, Fellaini 15m, Mirrallas 6m - they don't do too bad.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 Daily Fail... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2269265/Maruo-Zarate-Roberto-Firmino-Southampton-targets.html Heard this on radio 5 live a few weeks ago. Somewhere on the Richard Bacon show. Maybe they picked the story up from there?
trousers Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 Mark Staniforth @markstani1 Everton new boy Leroy Fer spent £22,000 on a horse for his girlfriend last year, conveniently forgetting she lived in a high-rise flat.
