thorpie the sinner Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Our big target is down St Mary's looking around, I was told which club he was from but even I think it's bloody madness. Will pray something is announced soon but it's jolly exciting if we get him. The source is fantastic and only Thorpie knows who it is. Oh God, I have been outed!!!!!

Will pray something is announced soon but it's jolly exciting if we get him. The source is fantastic and only Thorpie knows who it is. Excellent news fingers crossed. Has anything been agreed or is he just having a look ?
Pilchards Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Well then Thorpie, all eyes on you Do tell! He won't tell as the source would get the sack.
B Rabbit Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 You can't just say that and then not say who it is..at least tell us the bloody club...his nationality...or his teams nationality..some kind of clue!
Pilchards Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 You can't just say that and then not say who it is..at least tell us the bloody club...his nationality...or his teams nationality..some kind of clue! Nationally - Not English & we have been linked with him several times. I've no idea if he's down to sign or just to look around.
JN9 Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 How excited should we be? (I'll allow you to choose an appropriate scale)
dubai_phil Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 You can't just say that and then not say who it is..at least tell us the bloody club...his nationality...or his teams nationality..some kind of clue! Of course they can. Didn't you get the link to Glasgow's book on rumour management? Create rumour ignite and wait We all know something is going on elsewhere and bingo win win
Saint Matty 76 Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Nationally - Not English & we have been linked with him several times. I've no idea if he's down to sign or just to look around. Assuming it's probably Damiao or Osvaldo.
alpine_saint Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Patience...we'll find out in oh, 3 months time when the snail-like committee concludes its discussions.
Pilchards Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Banega. That would not smash our transfer record by double.
Saint Matty 76 Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Banega. Ah yeah forgot about him, would be absolutely unbelievable. Schneiderlin - Wanyama Ramirez - Banega - J Rod
Matthew Le God Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 (edited) Nationally - Not English & we have been linked with him several times. I've no idea if he's down to sign or just to look around. Damiao Edited 11 July, 2013 by Matthew Le God

Sheesh, I just want a fab lolly, oh and a chilled Estrella!!
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Nationally - Not English & we have been linked with him several times. I've no idea if he's down to sign or just to look around. Osvaldo? Damiao? Or Banega?
farawaysaint Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Patience...we'll find out in oh, 3 months time when the snail-like committee concludes its discussions. Are you on holiday at the moment? I only ask because I saw a car with the license plate Alpine and I'd hate to think you're angry on vacation
Minty Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Patience...we'll find out in oh, 3 months time when the snail-like committee concludes its discussions. Make your mind up Alps, just t'other day you were saying how good it would be if we brought in two signings by this point in July (which it seems we've virtually done), and how that was an improvement on previous seasons. You can't have it both ways!
110_Persaint Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 FFS just tell us, this is not like the Edward Snowden case FFS!
Saint Matty 76 Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 http://www.transfermarkt.it/it/roma-osvaldo-si-allena-a-trigoria-/news/anzeigen_128470.html This website is claiming that Osvaldo had a training session with Rome today, so surely the player must be Damiao.
ericofarabia Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 This had all better be sorted out asap - I can't sit around here all day F 5 ing every 10 seconds FFS.
Wade Garrett Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Reckon it's Osvaldo. Also reckon we will sign Banega. I have to qualify this by making it clear I know absolutely jack sh*t really. Just that a couple of players have been around since yesterday.
Daren W Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Nationally - Not English & we have been linked with him several times. I've no idea if he's down to sign or just to look around. Astori surely?
buctootim Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 here I am in a boiling hot office, minding my own business!! Sheesh, I just want a fab lolly, oh and a chilled Estrella!! I may not know who it is - but I do have a family box of Fabs in the freezer downstairs and Sierra Nevadas in the fridge
alpine_saint Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 I dont want Osvaldo here. He thinks we arent big enough or established enough.
alpine_saint Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 What should they do to speed it up? Which parts are taking them longer than they should? Who is on the committee? Who has the final say? How much money do they have to spend? What's the wage limit? What positions are the after? How many are we targeting? Is it possible to go after loads of players at once? Do the committee all get involved in negotiations with clubs, players, agents? What are the intricate details of other club's transfer dealings? Do other clubs all complete deals faster from targeting to completion? Do Saints complete deals less frequently and more slowly than under previous management/ownership? I do not know any of these answers, so I don't make bold comments about the process, but I'd love some more insight. You must have it, despite never sharing it, otherwise you'd be nothing more than an impatient childish fcknugget....which seems unlikely. Right? Ay up, my abusive judgmental stalker is back, right on time...
sfc4prem Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Astori surely? He wouldn't double our transfer record though. Osvaldo or Damiao would.
Matthew Le God Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 I dont want Osvaldo here. He thinks we arent big enough or established enough. It isn't unreasonable someone would want to join a Champions League team in a big European League over Saints. If he did sign, would that not then suggest he did want to join?
Webby Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 With this talk of 'managing when we sign players' or words to that effect in MP's recent presser, I have a feeling that, ideally, Saints would like to make a big impact with the fans and the media by announcing 2 or 3 big signings at once. Perhaps 2 tomorrow plus Shaw??
Lets B Avenue Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 now a run out in the dog crap at Birch Lawn would clinch any deal. Think they played at Eastleigh though. Pardon? http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?45622-Developmental-Squad-v-Sholing#.Ud6996RwY5s You even posted on this as well.
Wade Garrett Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Birch Lawn is now a housing estate, as Sholing Sports went to the wall years ago. Real shame. Never saw any dog **** on the pitch though, apart from our midfield.
thorpie the sinner Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Estrella is a Spanish beer. I just love Estrella lol no other reason!!
Lets B Avenue Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Birch Lawn is now a housing estate, as Sholing Sports went to the wall years ago. Real shame. Never saw any dog **** on the pitch though, apart from our midfield. It wasn't a good pitch though. Good clubhouse.
Wade Garrett Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 It wasn't a good pitch though. Good clubhouse. Clubhouse was the problem. Allegedly it was being raped and ended up owing the VAT man a fortune.
110_Persaint Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 This guessing game is getting us nowhere guys.
Sour Mash Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Thing is Phil, here I am in a boiling hot office, minding my own business!! Sheesh, I just want a fab lolly, oh and a chilled Estrella!! Assuming there are clues in this somewhere?
Matthew Le God Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Lamela? Osvaldo, Damiao or Lamela. Pochettino has confirmed interest in Osvaldo and Damiao, but I haven't seen any mention of Saints being linked to Lamela anywhere other than randoms on Twitter.
saints-cris Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 One day if I'm ever in the know, I'm going to milk it like crazy.
SaintRichmond Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 Birch Lawn is now a housing estate, as Sholing Sports went to the wall years ago. Real shame. Never saw any dog **** on the pitch though, apart from our midfield. Anyone remember John Greentree .... involved with them at the time. Very good team, but their ground not quite big enough for Hampshire League
Minty Posted 11 July, 2013 Posted 11 July, 2013 This guessing game is getting us nowhere guys. And it never does. Hence we have transfer threads that run to thousands of posts, primarily to give people something to do during the day!
