Dig Dig Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Sounds good. Strong, composed, good positioning, not jonno quick but who is and good on the ball. sounds like we might have pulled off a good signing here. Why, just because it says so in some pixels on the internet? You need to get out in the real world son.
dubai_phil Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Get Tiger down to St Mary's, then I'll believe you. IF only you had attended the TSW Forum match and paid Scudamore for one of the legendary Match Day programmes you would have seen the full photographic evidence as he signed the NDA for Mark Fry
Tokyo-Saint Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Would tiger go on the pitch if Guly scored?
Window Cleaner Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 In the middle of a desert on his last trip down. The legend still managed to find a fiteh with a great grip and awesome backswing... I know you'll all be shocked to know he asked her to hold his club and give it a go. Isn't that what got him into trouble (and had to give away half of his stuff) last time?
Window Cleaner Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 ?????? ??????? don't know that I would actually, have to be pretty smashed. Not in my league really.
dubai_phil Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Isn't that what got him into trouble (and had to give away half of his stuff) last time? Yeah, and this was straight after the "I won't do it again" confessions. He did, and I made 1500 quid out of the pic from Getty Images. All the press crew missed it. As for today, he was with these two hotties from IMG Elephants and Spots. Anyways. Back on topic, Michael Hoey (Irish golfer) DOES know who Saints are as his Cousin is engaged to an ex Academy lad who is part of our massive and we had a good long chat about why SRL actually SHOULD be playing for England in the old Sheringham role. Off to bed time 4:30am start think more likely we will get confirmation of Messi signing than a point at Chelsea tonight. Keep warm tonight SMS stalkers will await your updates in the morning with keen interest and then go find a Norwegian golfer to get a Norway Saint style feedback... Oh that ain't gonna be easy is it

the stain Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Character in a program about children who have lots of drugs and sex. and drink, don't forget the drink. I don't want those sort of programmes. Not since the Savile case anyway.
Turkish Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Why, just because it says so in some pixels on the internet? You need to get out in the real world son. I have, i've just signed him on Football Manager.
Guan 2.0 Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I think he travels with the first team. Even if it was complete right now I would not be surprised to see it formally announced by the club tomorrow - just easier for everyone and if we were to lose tonight it would be a welcome shift in distraction. Exactly. You can imagine "Nigel Adkins has moved quickly to strengthen his defense following the narrow defeat to chelsea last night..... experienced international.... hard work behind the scenes.... move up the league... yadda yadda yadda".
Dig Dig Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I have, i've just signed him on Football Manager. I bet it didn't take you 16 days of faffing about like we have to nail him either.
Turkish Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I bet it didn't take you 16 days of faffing about like we have to nail him either. Easy, got a scout to look at him, he said he's alright, stuck a bid in, offered him the money he wanted, Job done with 3 days. Cortese hasn't got a clue what he's doing the useless dwarf c*nt.

itchen_dan Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 He has signed. It is all done but obviously awaiting announcement @RBFlemma: Picture of Vegard Forren arriving at Stamford together with his agent Jim Solbakken. http://t.co/brVL9fWD
Glasgow_Saint Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 He has signed. It is all done but obviously awaiting announcement @RBFlemma: Picture of Vegard Forren arriving at Stamford together with his agent Jim Solbakken. http://t.co/brVL9fWD Nice one.......... We need him
itchen_dan Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 @TV2Jonas: Hva Vegard Forren og Jim Solbakken sier om Southampton-overgangen ser du på #TV2 2125. Ankom Stamford Bridge like før kickoff #2pl #2fx @ TV2Jonas: What Vegard previous and Jim Solbakken say about Southampton transition look at # TV2 2125. Arrived at Stamford Bridge just before kickoff # # 2pl 2FX From what I can gather it means there will be an interview with Forren and Agent on TV2 in Norway at 9:25pm tonight.

You'll hear what Forren and Solbakken have to say about the Southampton transfer on Tv2 at 21:25. Arrived at Stamford Bridge just before kickoff. The Norwegian media sem to think this is a done deal.

itchen_dan Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 ''Is this deal close?'' Adkins ''No idea'' Oh dear Nigel. How does he have no idea if the deal is close? He must know that it is (allegedly) 99% done surely?
Saint Garrett Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Oh come on we all know NA has nothing to do with transfers FFS.
S-Clarke Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Oh dear Nigel. How does he have no idea if the deal is close? He must know that it is (allegedly) 99% done surely? He then also said... ''Ask the people who'd know''
itchen_dan Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 He then also said... ''Ask the people who'd know'' I just dont understand how the manager of the first team at a football club has no idea if a player is close to signing? I know chairmen do the deals etc but he must surely be kept updated as things progress? Even us fans seem to know more than Nigel due to the 'leaks' from various Norwegian news sources.
Saint Garrett Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Of course he knows, he's just not going to say anything until they can announce it on the website.
Olallana Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Tv2 in Norway tonight "That´s why Southampton needs Forren, comical defending"...
hypochondriac Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Of course he knows, he's just not going to say anything until they can announce it on the website. Exactly.
Smirking_Saint Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Oh dear Nigel. How does he have no idea if the deal is close? He must know that it is (allegedly) 99% done surely? He does it all the time, just talks crap. The other day he said he had no idea, until he was told that Molde have accepted a bid He then went quiet and said 'its exciting isnt it' He just speaks in riddles, read absolutely nothing into it

Turkish Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I don't understand why people still don't get this. I didn't get asked by the media about signing Forren when i did the deal on FM13 BTW.
Saint Charlie Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 NA couldnt always say 'Wait til x is announced' and then in the next breath say 'done deal'.
itchen_dan Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Outcome of the TV interview / report in Norway Fotballbjerke: @SFCFootyPage It was just some Photos of Forren on the Chelsea-Southampton game on the news. He said that it will be solved tomorrow
sotonjoe Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 ''Is this deal close?'' Adkins ''No idea'' Blatant proof that this is a Cortese signing and that Atkins isn't consulted on transfer deals.
Pugwash Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 I didn't get asked by the media about signing Forren when i did the deal on FM13 BTW. Yeah, yeah, but did you sign him as a left back?
Saint Charlie Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Blatant proof that this is a Cortese signing and that Atkins isn't consulted on transfer deals. Atkins isnt even a Saints employee you Gooser.
simondo Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Blatant proof that this is a Cortese signing and that Atkins isn't consulted on transfer deals. Y U a crazy foo...
ollysaints1 Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Nigel 100% picks his transfer targets, He leaves it for other people to sign them for him. Thats why he has no idea if it's done yet. I get bored of people saying he has no influence on transfers.
manji Posted 16 January, 2013 Posted 16 January, 2013 Blatant proof that this is a Cortese signing and that Atkins isn't consulted on transfer deals. Absolute ********. We have a scouting team they will come up with players. I should imagine ADkins will decide whether the player is someone we need. If he says yes its then down to Cortese and his legal team. Surely youre not dumb enough the believe ADkins gets involved in the negotiations and legal wrangling.
Reynoldson!! Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 I am pretty sure sotonjoe was joking, everybody needs to relax!

If we have so little faith in Atkins as a manger that we let a scouting team pick which players we sign, why don't we go the whole hog and let them pick the team? Nigel is one of very few managers who has overseen a Saints home league victory against Man Utd, and yet the club are making it crystal clear that he is completely ignored when it comes to bringing players in. The writing must be on the wall for Nigel. Perhaps it would be better if he resigned now and reclaimed what little self-respect this club might let him walk away with.

Saint_clark Posted 17 January, 2013 Posted 17 January, 2013 Not that long ago I read on here that Astori had definitely signed, now it's this guy. What to believe...

The other day he said he had no idea, until he was told that Molde have accepted a bid He then went quiet and said 'its exciting isnt it' He just speaks in riddles, read absolutely nothing into it I think he's hilarious and just winding the media/us up - same way he talked about the jrod dive with a completely straight face at the weekend. It's all a game and some of the posters on here need to stop taking everything so seriously.
