I think it's just admitting that in the vast majority of cases the people who do this for a living will know better. Doesn't mean they'll be right all the time, but they have a better ratio than any of us would.
If you take that route then there's no point in discussing it whatsoever. Just leave all that to the experts. Kind of defeats the idea of a forum though, where the whole point is to discuss issues, whether (ill) informed or not.

 

Have we really been hit and miss? Forren, Ramirez, Gazza and Mayuka haven't 'hit' to date but I wouldn't chalk them down as 'misses' quite yet, especially considering none were signed as short-term fixes. All the rest have been resounding successes if you ask me.
It's entirely subjective, but yes I'd say we have been hit and miss, albeit more hit than miss. Edited by The Kraken

Of course you can discuss this or anything else in a constructive manner. Just don't see the point in getting involved in discussions with "characters" who seem to get a buzz from winding people up

I see that Everton are now supposedly interested...if that's the case we might as well move on to our next target. Agent has done his job, conducted an auction.

Why? There'll be competition for all good targets. Giving up easily doesn't seem like a good strategy.

 

 

pretty obvious that the player doesn't really want to come here, wasn't he on record as saying he was "waiting for a top 4 club"

Are Everton not in Europe ? that is a deal maker or breaker for many players, especially in a WC season, not that Wanyama will be concerned with that.

The longer this thread goes on the more I keep thinking I have accidentally gone onto the muppet show !

 

Good observation skills. Here's +1 reputations points. Keep the point somewhere safe as Bearsy will try and nick it off you to sell down at cash converters. Tokyo will be along later to post some pictures of boobs.

Aren't all clubs hit and miss when it comes to signings?

I don't understand what relevance that has to, well, anything about this thread really. Other than to prove the point that its a bit daft for a fan of any club, let alone ours, to choose to implicity trust the club over every signing they make simply because they're professionals and its their job. Which was what the comment was in response to.

Isn't the basic point, whose opinion on a player do you trust most? The people at the club who are professionals and charged with spending big money or some anonymous bloke on an internet forum. Whatever you answer is it doesn't stop debate.

The guy on SSN said the deal is back on.

 

See my post from few days back.....

 

 

You're about a week behind as deal was most definitly dead = agents + Cardiff + other 3rd party interference!!

 

However as i posted 3-4 days back the deal is back ON!! SFC reignited their interest last Tuesday and fresh contract talks are looking positive.

Mr Nixon adamant he doesn't want to join us! lets see

 

There is no chance on this earth that we'd be stupid enough to pursue this deal this far, speak publicly about him etc without asking the guy if he wants to join us or not.

 

Under previous management / chairmen, yes, but under Cortese and the committee, no chance.

Agreed, think it will be tied up within next couple of days, possibly by tomorrow evening. News of agent flying over certainly bodes well.

 

Andrew Halford ay? I should really stop following the guy but it's amusing to watch how someone can be so consistently wrong about everything Saints-related.

I don't follow him, in fact he's blocked, but I saw it on Nixons timeline so had to have a look.

It is a flamingMuppet Show - and the gutless moderators are encouraging that with allowing theusual dozen or so kiddies in the playground to bully the rest! Careful what youwish for – for sure you will get it!

Ever wonderedwhy me and a lot more decide not to join a egoistic and pathetic forum designedto keep a few simpletons amused????

Waiting for Evertons bid to be finalised! Could be a while if they have to sell first! Still think we have been too open here, convinced our main targets are under wraps!

 

This is where saints web come into its own. Do you really think that transfer deals are done in the press

 

Lets be honest. Hardly any... If at all have any idea on how this process works

 

Deciding what is what by what you read/hear in the media is just silly

The press is there to promote the gossip which we all find entertaining. It helps the summer go quicker! I take anything with a pinch of salt until it is announced as definite but I do take store from trusted sources more than others!

Kone to Everton complete. That also means they have £5m less than before to put towards any Wanyama deal.

 

They got the same TV money as everyone else and may well be selling Fellaini or Baines anyway.

 

Wouldnt read anything into this.

They're usually pleading poverty every transfer window anyway and Martinez seems to only want to sign Wigan players. Loan deal for Joel (Wigan goalkeeper at end of last season) also on the cards apparently.

 

Plus, I can't see Fellaini going. Only Baines. And would he be that stupid to spend £12m on a CM when they'd need a left back?

 

I really can't see Everton getting Wanyama.

Always thought Everton saw Fellaini as a DMC eventually anyway.

 

(Maybe that's changed now Moyes has left)

yep Everton are always skint, have been for about 50 years now, never stopped them buying who they want when they want before. Just helps keep the fees down perhaps although I doubt if other clubs fall for their "we're skint" attitude these days. Nigh on 52 million £ in PL receipts, 36K+ home gates, big fee for letting Moyes go to Manure,yep, they've not 2 halfpennies to rub together.

People on here I understand are going to be a little bit biased about our club but such one eyed skewed vision is stupid, Everton, Liverpool and Spurs are all far far bigger than us so to secure the players us and them want we will have to pay more, thats the reality of it, why would a player choose us over them?
