VectisSaint Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Maybe. Odd thread, that cannot be answered.
Stud mark of doom Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 cant reveal my sources should know by the end of the week at the latest.
S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 I'd imagine efforts will be going on this week to ensure we have an extra option, as Fonte doesn't look healthy it has to be said. He won't be fit for Saturday anyway, I'm sure of that. But either way, the back 2 next week will be Jos and Yoshida imo - any new guy would be on the bench.

Even if that is the case, would you mind not repeating out loud too much? I get chills just at the thought of Jos Hooiveld lining up in our defence.

I get chills just at the thought of Jos Hooiveld lining up in our defence. I don't think he's all that bad...! He coincided with being in the team when we were so open, so he was exposed so much. At least the back 4 have a bit more protection now. Thought he played alright up at Stoke, would be a good option to stick on Benteke.

At least the back 4 have a bit more protection now. Thought he played alright up at Stoke, would be a good option to stick on Benteke. Yeah, fair point. Fingers crossed that the Astori deal gets done today or tomorrow. Pretty sure when we signed Fonte he came straight into the team after just a few days (although he wasn't moving abroad, of course).
Pilchards Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Don't hit the panic button as Cork can cover as CB as Clyne will be back.
itchen_dan Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Don't hit the panic button as Cork can cover as CB as Clyne will be back. We saw how that turned out at Palace in the cup last season! he was all over the place, like yesterday. Cork has to be back in midfield for the Villa game.
Colinjb Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Fingers crossed. Or we send Jose to a faith healer...
The Kraken Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Don't hit the panic button as Cork can cover as CB as Clyne will be back. I find that to be one of the least reassuring statements I've heard in a fair while.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 At least we have all week knowing that we need to prepare without Fonte. Would be much worse if he pulled up in training on say Thursday. As mentioned, against Benteke Jos could be a good choice, seeing as he is a big physical presence. I certainly have a little more faith having seen him play ok against Stoke.
shirleysfc Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Yes, using the money we're getting from Newcastle for Lambert
VectisSaint Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 We could play Aaron Martin, filled in well for Fonte last year. :-)
Dalek2003 Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 If we don't sign a recognised and experienced CB, then it has to be proof that we are gambling big time that Lady Luck helps us keep our Premier status. Also, would confirm my 'yoyo' theory.

wild-saint Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Highly doubtful. why do u think that thrush?
Wade Garrett Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Obviously don't know, but I would say that Fonte's injury has made completing the Astori deal more urgent. In short, it's imperative we have a new replacement in place ready to start against Villa.
Fowllyd Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Fingers crossed. Or we send Jose to a faith healer... I know just the person!
hasper57saint Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Perhaps a 'rider' to the question should be "Who's available?" then we can speculate but are still unable to draw any conclusion as WE don't buy the players!
LostBoys Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 If you believe the Italian press we have one today but I would be happy with tomorrow
ollysaints1 Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 I dont think we'll have any new players by the Villa game, infact i'd put mut money on there being no one new for Villa. We know how long it takes us to sign a player.

rshephard3 Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Apparently N'Zogbia, Bent and Agbonlahor all played well yesterday, bit of a worry with Fonte out. Just what we need, Villas old guard to click with the new boys just in time to face us a man down! It's a shame as Fonte has really got his act together quickly after a poor start to the season.
beatlesaint Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 I doubt it. I think all our transfer business will be completed in the last week of January as NC plays hardball with the selling club(s) involved. Its not a criticism, just what I think will happen. Hope I'm wrong.
ottery st mary Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Always Friday...Never on a Sunday:rolleyes:
toe_punt Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 cant reveal my sources should know by the end of the week at the latest. I can't revel my sources either, but there's a 50% chance with plus/minus 50% variance that a deal MAY be made for one or more CBs by the end of the week. If not the end of this week, then very probably by the end of the transfer window. You heard it here first.
bjk Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Absolutely definatly Astori will be a Saints player by the weekend.You heard it here first.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 (edited) Absolutely definatly Astori will be a Saints player by the weekend.You heard it here first. Riiiiight....which weekend was that? ;-) Not happening guys - we don't have that money to spend. Why do you think Martin was brought back? Edited 6 January, 2013 by Saint Fan CaM
Badger Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Possibly Or, possibly not. Think I'll sleep on it.

Hopefully they won't play. They'll stay up if those 3 play the rest of the season for them IMO

alpine_saint Posted 7 January, 2013 Posted 7 January, 2013 We have some inpatient idiots as fans, we really do. You do realise that we play a game at least once a week, including during the transfer window, and that the number of games left is steadily diminishing, dont you ?
adrian lord Posted 7 January, 2013 Posted 7 January, 2013 You do realise that we play a game at least once a week, including during the transfer window, and that the number of games left is steadily diminishing, dont you ? There is a need for urgency. Especially now injuries are mounting.
