derry Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 If SDR's loan is only a month I guess there will be a recall clause. No recall allowed in first month.
Turkish Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 and there are the stoke fans. Where do they find them??
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 and there are the stoke fans. Where do they find them?? A combination of the Zoo, the farm and the mental asylum.
Thedelldays Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 and there are the stoke fans. Where do they find them?? Don't they have school in the morning ??
SuperSAINT Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Peterborough owner Darragh MacAnthony has taken to Twitter to rant over the apparent breakdown of George Boyd's move to Nottingham Forest. LOL
Thedelldays Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Is odemwinge still wandering the streets looking for a club?
Elias Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Villa are in a worse place than us. We need three teams to be in a worse place than us.
Rebel Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 I'm not convinced we have enough strength in depth to be honest. Luke Shaw is now our first choice left back - but he's too young at 17 to be playing every week. If he does he will burn out like so many before him. And we can't play Fox as he is a liability at this level - his positioning is just terrible. Hooiveld also looks to be out of his depth. I hope they both prove me wrong but so far they haven't. We've also got no cover for Cork and Morgan if one gets injured - or banned - and we need to play 2 holding midfielders as our defence judt isnt good enough - and we all know how great our run of form was at the start of the season without Cork in the team.
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Is odemwinge still wandering the streets looking for a club? Yep. He's cocked up his career here. I imagine the clubs will now try to force something through though, him staying at WBA now benefits no one. He's burnt all bridges.
mulletsaint Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 and there are the stoke fans. Where do they find them?? Stoke?
pap Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Well, guess we're serious about bringing players through the youth team! Kept our best players. Still think we need a bit of magic upfront, but maybe MP feels there is a lot more to come from our current playing staff.
pap Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 and there are the stoke fans. Where do they find them?? All the Stoke fans I know are from Stoke, yet wisely don't live there. I feel really sorry for Butland. It's like a Sleeping Beauty situation playing out in football. Yes, you can have your swansong in the magical kingdom of Birmingham, but then you will be forever exiled to the dark realm of Stoke.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Big gamble not adding some more quality in midfield. Disappointing, but there's not much happening and we're starting to look quality.
Webby Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 If he does he will burn out like so many before him. Like who? Burn out, Schmirnout.
DT Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 When we're after a goal and we bring on Steven Davis, that, right there, is why we should have spent; why we should be less confident now than we were before the window shut. I suspect our Nigel wanted players but was told that wasn't the plan.

shirleysfc Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 I'm disappointed we didn't sign anyone but I still think we have enough to stay up. A couple of shrewd signings and we could have been safe with a few games to spare, now it may be a bit tighter.
Chez Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Outside of our starting 11. We are very weak Big gamble.... We certainly don't have a UNited/City/Chelsea-like squad and there is certainly room for improvement, but we do have the odd player on the bench (depending who you think its our starting 11) that has done quite well at this level such as Guly, Prowse, Davis, Jrod and Ramirez. Mayuka and Forren have yet to be given a real chance to show what they can do too. IMO Jos, Richardson and Fox can do a job if needed. We've spent a fortune. Not sure any Saint can have a complaint about lack of signings this year.
SaintRobbie Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 I'm disappointed we didn't sign anyone but I still think we have enough to stay up. A couple of shrewd signings and we could have been safe with a few games to spare, now it may be a bit tighter. I agree - MP warned that he wasnt going to buy a player for the sake of it. Good policy I say. We have a team that can survive in this league. Any addition we now make should be a superstar, £8m plus players. Its time to reinforce with quality when we can not panic and buy anyone. More money for the summer.
Berudenot2 Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Looks like the transfer window winner is Rosie's account !
Dark Munster Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Still 1 hour and 10 minutes to go. Maybe a last minute surprise?
Matthew Le God Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Saints spent over £35m on players this season, the last game saw them outplay Man Utd at Old Trafford with 21 shots on goal. Yet people complain!
Turkish Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Saints spent over £35m on players this season, the last game saw them outplay Man Utd at Old Trafford with 21 shots on goal. Yet people complain! why have you posted exactly this, including the same smiley on another thread? It's wierd.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 why have you posted exactly this, including the same smiley on another thread? It's wierd. Give him a one week ban?
Matthew Le God Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 why have you posted exactly this, including the same smiley on another thread? It's wierd. I could say the same of you with your reply. My post was relevant to the topic of both threads.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 I guess we will still be able to sign free agents such as Riquelme, for instance, even though the window has closed like we did with Boruc, if we need to? No sense rushing for those if we're based in Manchester ready for Wigan.
Whitey Grandad Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Still 1 hour and 10 minutes to go. Maybe a last minute surprise? Closes at 11:00 pm.
Turkish Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Because it is relevant to the topic of both threads. If there is already a thread on it, why do you need to contribute to both?
Dark Munster Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Closes at 11:00 pm. Oh, oh, 6 minutes left. But it's not over yet.
whizzpop Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Still at least we kept hold of Danny Butterfield.
Whitey Grandad Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Oh, oh, 6 minutes left. But it's not over yet. At least we can all have an early night.
Bucks Saint Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Hats off to NC for keeping our signings quieter than anyone else in Europe. Ssshhh
saint si Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 If there is already a thread on it, why do you need to contribute to both? Why do you care? Much wierder.
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Christ, sky drag this out don't they??? painful viewing tonight, yet for some reason I've kept watching..
Appy Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Saints spent over £35m on players this season, the last game saw them outplay Man Utd at Old Trafford with 21 shots on goal. Yet people complain! I was at the game, we lost.
trousers Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 @Luke_shaw3: Deadline day done , now time for everyone to focus on sat #3points
ToreSF Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Dry your brave tears fellow mates. We got what we needed the most, a talented and strong centre back. We'll come back for the wide man and midfielder in the summer, when there's more of a buyers market. Think we have enough talent to survive.
pangy Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 lol at Odemwingie, greedy git ,He's going to have fun at training tomorrow.
Barry Sanchez Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Yep. He's cocked up his career here. I imagine the clubs will now try to force something through though, him staying at WBA now benefits no one. He's burnt all bridges. A lot of baggies fans are reluctant to sell but know how good he has been for them and accept this is his last significant payday, my mate wishes him all the best.
Whitey Grandad Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 That ain't a window. It's a door. Hmm, might be a shutter?
austsaint Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 What annoys people... Is hearing players going on about such mahoosive plans that te club have.... Champions league etc... Then we get rid of a manager for an apparent better one, then the chairman talks about top 6 in a few years Then, nothing..... It is so tight at the bottom... I thought we would have added a bit of quality this evening.... But nothing... Remain sceptical about our chances of survival Do agree with you on this one Dell. The big picture vision is all and good but there is the "small" matter of staying in the Prem to realize it. I've got a feeling MP will get more out of Mayuka as the season draws on.
Professor Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 (edited) To all those bemoaning the single signing of a full international CB during this window, and those saying how weak we are beyond the starting 11, I think we must assume that the manager does not agree, and as football professional he is probably well qualified to have a view. The following list based on the starting line-up against Man U doesn't look to me as if all our second choice players are weak, or non-Prem standard. Boruc --- Poland international --- Gazzaniga / K.Davis Clyne --- England u-21 --- Fraser Richardson Yoshida --- Japan international --- Vergard Forren Hooiveld --- ---------------------- Jose Fonte / Jack Stephens Fox --- Scotland international--- Luke Shaw Cork --- England u-21 --- S.Davis Schneiderlin --- France u-21 --- James Ward-Prowse Puncheon --- ---------------------- Ramirez Lallana --- England u-21 --- Do Prado / Chaplow Rodrigues --- England u-21 --- Tadanari Lee Lambert --- ---------------------- Mayuka Edited 31 January, 2013 by Professor

Settled and focused from now on.
