Adkins to look at Saints for transfer targets?

[SO16_Saint]

Do you think Adkins will look to Saints for transfers in the Summer, and if so will NC allow him to?

Not sure, if they go down they will only be going for fringe players anyway, same as if they stay up actually.

[EBS1980]

Can't see any of the current squad dropping down ( if reading do go down ). He might look at those loaned out, Sharp, Chaplow, Hammond perhaps?

[Saint Garrett]

Sharp would probably be on his radar. Deano could do a job there. Maybe he'd look at one of our CB's. Fonte or Hoooveld...Fox?

[Tokyo-Saint]

Fox isn't a bad shout as Harte must be in his early 50s by now. Also maybe Richardson on a free. Both of these would work well in a diamond which seems to be one of his prefered formations.

[SO16_Saint]

I was thinking maybe Sharp, Hammond, Chaplow and Jos could all be contenders to go.

[Saint-scooby]

Is he in charge then ?

[SO16_Saint]

Yes, or more accurately - he will be come 0915 today

[Saint Garrett]

Just confirmed on SSN.

[SO16_Saint]

Press conf live in ssn ar 0915

[Minsk]

(Provided we stay up) I think many of our fringe players (not PL standard) will leave in the summer. As others have mentioned: Sharpe, Chaplow, Richardson, Fox, Martin, Butterfield, De Ridder; possibly even the likes of Hoiveld or Fonte if we bring in better CBs? I would think going to Reading would be good moves for any of them.

 

Then, he may even look to loan some of our promising youngsters like Reeves, Stephenson or Chambers.

 

Who knows? But I wish him well; just not at our expense!

[Turkish]

First person i thought of was Billy Sharp.

[Chez]

One things for sure is if Adkins didn't rate them to play them in the championship (de Ridder, Butterfield, Martin) then he won't buy them for Reading.

[Chez]

he's fallen down the pecking order a little at Forest now that they are playing a big man small man combination.

[Window Cleaner]

Wouldn't be surprised if KD goes there in the summer.

[pangy]

I will drive Fox down there myself !!!

 

Chaplow would add some "bite " to their midfield

[Saint-scooby]

Heyho

[Colinjb]

I doubt he will go for Sharp, Le Fondre already fills that rule in the team for them.

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see Dean Hammond go there.

[Black Sea Saint]

Maybe Lallana, Lambert, Schneiderlin and Cork will all go there after our relegation and Reading's triumphant escape from relegation

[max_saints]

he can have Dickson and forecast

[old_southy]

Jonathan Ronald James Forte?

[KelvinsRightGlove]

I wonder what his relationship with Sharp is like now?

 

If it has soured after what happened here, he may not go. Seems to me Billy doesn't really like to be too far from Yorkshire.

[farawaysaint]

If he gets his 30 million kitty that's being tossed around, who knows? I'm sure there's more than a few players in our squad that any championship team would love. (On the possibility that Reaidng get relegated.) If Nige saves them then we've thrown away a true genius.

[St Matty]

Guly?

[Barry Sanchez]

Fox, Gazzaniga, Richardson, Hooiveld, Butterfield, Guly, De Ridder and Mayuka, saaawwwweeet.

[Tokyo-Saint]

Luke Shaw

[Mowgli]

Wouldn't be surprised if KD goes there in the summer.

 

I would - after his remarks when he signed the new contract.

[Lets B Avenue]

Fox, Gazzaniga, Richardson, Hooiveld, Butterfield, Guly, De Ridder and Mayuka, saaawwwweeet.

 

So, basically, all your pet-hates should go to Reading, irrespective of whether they were "Adkins signings" or not.

 

Will you feck off to a Reading forum? Just for me?

[Saint Charlie]

The most likely is Billy Sharp, Davies doesnt rate him at Forest and we know Adkins does.

[pingwing]

Will you feck off to a Reading forum? Just for me?

 

"Adkins calls a surprise press conference to announce his first new signing as Reading manager. He is pleased to announce Barry Sanchez is joining the Reading team as principal tactician, internet moderator and head of the transfer department with immediate effect. He hopes his years of valuable saints web experience will be the step up Reading need to push for Europe next season"

[KelvinsRightGlove]

Duhhh, signing a new contract is a way of strengthening your bargaining position to get a move away.

 

Just like what Morgan has done.

 

Isn't that right WC?

No chance. Cortese signings.

[CB Saint]

I will drive Fox down there myself !!!

 

Chaplow would add some "bite " to their midfield

 

let me know if you want to share the driving

[Whitey Grandad]

Can't he take the bus?

As shocking as this may be to you, BS has only been on this forum for a mere 4 months - or so he would have us believe. I know, I know, it does seem like a lifetime!!!!

 

N.B. Yes, I am obviously dismissing any rumours re his previous entities such as Cheese on Toast, Dune and Stanley. 'They' were all banned for life and there is no way the admins would let 'them' back just to pocket another fiver. No siree!!!!

I turned him down, I like my job flippin burgers and being a white van man too much.

Err thats because I am not those, thank Christ you have to be proven gulity, your humour is weak as well old man, the force is drying up in you, I can feel it from here.

Not just for you, I can assure you!

I'd have Richardson down as a Adkins/Reid signing myself.

Seeing as he was here before Adkins that's unlikely.

Over 2000 posts in a mere 4 months is experience enough, like having a new signing play every game regardless of his history!

good point. Not a Cortese style signing though. Far too...English?

[captainchris]

Fox - No you won't - he's already in my car half way there..........

[Giordano]

I think the most likely are: KD, GDP, RC and BS.

 

All would get into Readings first team in the CCC and know what is needed to get promoted. KD was number 1 goalie in the CC championship team of the year - i know he just signed a new contract but that just means we get a fee for him- and he gets to play every week instead of getting splinters waiting for Boruc to get injured, GDP scored 11 in the CCC last year and dominated many otherwise compact CC defences with his physicality, speed and technical skills, plus he has flexibility to pay different roles which is always a good attribute for the manager, whilst for the early part of last season Chappie was our most effective midfielder, meaning he was one of the best of not the best midfielder of his type in the League. Billy Sharp is Billy Sharp- with the right service he will score goals at CCC level.

Those are the four who in my opinion would get playing time under NA at Reading in the CCC. I dont see him buying "maybe" players, they will want to bounce right back with a strong squad added to by a couple or three marquee signings( ours are not marquee signings- they are incredibly solid and guaranteed to do a good job for you in the ccc signings) from outside..

[david in sweden]

First person i thought of was Billy Sharp.

 

To Reading.....maybe so, but if NA persists with this compensation claim against Saints .....the price will go up another £2 million.......(in order to balance the books).

 

....but I was wondering ....Do you think ...he might want to take.....Steve De Ridder?...

Cheese on toast isn't Dune. Not unless dune was an 18 year old lad called Tommy anyway. Don't let that get in the way of your mod slamming though.

Considering he never picked him here, that is highly unlikely.
