pangy Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 Banega,Wanyama and Damiao would all be excellent signings but surely we need a winger or 2,someone with genuine pace who can put a ball in? with all these players linked none apart from Stoch has been a winger,I reckon a surprise signing will pop up soon,but I have no idea on who !!
Saint Garrett Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 Can't see it...we haven't signed anyone since L1 that hasn't been linked previously.
Olallana Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 Cortese will pull a rabbit out of the hat.....Jese or Deulofeu
Glasgow_Saint Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 Can't see it...we haven't signed anyone since L1 that hasn't been linked previously. ITKs are being bullied off the forum so that may soon change
SuperSAINT Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 Can't see it...we haven't signed anyone since L1 that hasn't been linked previously. Was Mayuka a surprise, Garrett? - I don't remember
Bearsy Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 Can't see it...we haven't signed anyone since L1 that hasn't been linked previously. I feel like Lovrens we only heard like a couple days before it happened. I don't think I'd even seen his youtubes + FM stats!
Saint Charlie Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 Barely any Prem signings now are under the radar, so I think its unlikely.
Avenue Saint Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 ITKs are being bullied off the forum so that may soon change How's that then? A far as I can see VMAN and K Billy are treated (and rightly so) with the utmost repect and attention here... As for the serial liars and wannabes, well... They're just sad fools aren't the Glasgow?
Saint Jude Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 I think there's a good chance that we might get someone under the radar.. all depends where we are buying from... most of the leaks seem to come from other clubs/agents rather from too many Soton ITK's
110_Persaint Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 To be fair MP's announcement as manager came less than 24 hours after ANYONE had known ANYTHING about it. Speculation only started late afternoon the day prior (17th?). If there's one thing the Don is very good at it's keeping secrets and I'm trusting/hoping he will have a pleasant surprise for us in the not too distant future.
hasper57saint Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 Barely any Prem signings now are under the radar, so I think its unlikely. Was at my Daughters with Mrs.H at the weekend and met up with my Brother-in-Law for a pint on Sat night. He's an ardent Spud and said "I see you're after Huddleston" News to me!!! Anyone else heard anything about him?

All the extra running Morgan does is wearing out St. Mary's pitch, so Ponch has earmarked Hudd to bring down the team average. If that don't work we're gonna push him over + use as roller.

Yet another of those arrogant "big club" fans that mix us up with Sunderland I guess.... (I´m saying arrogant with a cheaky smile)
tajjuk Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 Sinclair? Has been linked before would be available probably on loan with option to buy I record.
sammysaint Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 If we sign another CM we wont sign a winger he will play Jay Rod and Lallana there with Punch and S.Davis as back ups, only 2 natural wingers, but still who knows i could be proven wrong on my theory.
Turkish Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 No, hardly any premier league club is able to keep signings out of the media before they happen.
Saint_clark Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 To be fair MP's announcement as manager came less than 24 hours after ANYONE had known ANYTHING about it. Speculation only started late afternoon the day prior (17th?). If there's one thing the Don is very good at it's keeping secrets and I'm trusting/hoping he will have a pleasant surprise for us in the not too distant future. However it was being reported in spain a week before it happened.
Saint Garrett Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 Boruc was rumoured, Yoshi was mentioned about a week previous, As was Forren and Mayuka. Mainly from Alan Nixon on Twitter but still mentioned in a few places. There are however a lot of players we have been linked with for a while but then not got so who knows. Think it's pretty obvious that we try keep things as quiet as possible, but that's not always easy.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 However it was being reported in spain a week before it happened. Indeed. I remember reading it on the website of a Spanish Radio Station, and just shaking my head and moving on. A week later...
SNSUN Posted 8 July, 2013 Posted 8 July, 2013 If a team announced that one of their players suddenly became available, and Pochettino and Cortese wanted that player, then I would expect they'd very quickly move to capture them, meaning very little media speculation. However it seems to be the Premier League way that everything gets published or announced before it happens. That said, if there's any Premier League chairman that could keep a transfer quiet, I'd put money on it being Cortese.
110_Persaint Posted 9 July, 2013 Posted 9 July, 2013 However it was being reported in spain a week before it happened. Who knows maybe a potential Uruguayan or Argentinine bound to Saints has been doing the rounds over there for weeks and no one here has heard anything? My response to this thread is still a resounding yes. Cortese's the man.
