sandwichsaint Posted 1 January, 2013 Share Posted 1 January, 2013 We will sign a CB not much better than what we've got and a wide midfielder who is the Prem equivalent of Jonno quick (he won't get near the starting XI, sometimes on the bench, will play a max of 200 mins first team football before the end of the season). We will also take someone on loan from Spuds who will make one anonymous appearance and disappear without trace).What we see is what we have, there is no St Mary's money tree (allegedly).We will stay up on the last day by beating Stoke 2-1 (karma on the oatcake fanzine); where that leaves next season's CL ambitions is anybody's guess ... ?

SNSUN Posted 1 January, 2013 Share Posted 1 January, 2013 We signed Jos Hooiveld in December '11. Now THAT's getting business done early.

Proven right? Like when you said we would be too far adrift come January to get in adequate additions to help in the run in? Or when you said that no improvement could be made to the current players? Or that Adkins wasn't capable of getting more from this current squad? Well done mate, you were so right. I am definitely covered in egg.

Wouldn't bother mate. I stopped listening after this spectacular prediction on the "Points from next five games thread" http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?41216-Points-From-Next-5-Games Alpine Saint: QPR - D Newcastle - L Norwich - L Liverpool - D Reading - L 2 points. Adkins gone either following QPR or Reading. Alpine on the reason why Reading will definitely beat us: Well Reading beat us last year, for me thats a total non-argument. Theyve not been exactly progressing, but they havent been going backwards like us. I think those of you predicting up to 10 points from 15 considering our record of 5 from 33 are barking...

red&white56 Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 Having read the pundit's predictions for spending in this window it seems everyone in the bottom half of the PL is looking for a new defense.

I do not think this is the case. I think at the time I jumped on the bandwagon of not signing quality, but I think it was just a case of a learning curve. The team from the start of the season is pretty much the same that started the season and you would not have thought this watching us yesterday. The only thing I worry about is a keeper, and cover. Our starting 11 is good for a mid table team now. Supporters always jump on this old chestnut, and I will remind you that supporters said the same in the 2 promotion seasons.... Turned out ok I think. In Nigel I trust, even if you do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Saint Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 When Cortese became involved we were a busted club. When Adkins came in we were near the botton of Div 1. Since then we have been promoted to Championship and then Premier in 2 seasons having had Cortese stabilize the club in his first year. I think I will trust their judgement on decision making/transfer strategy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
