Transfer deadline day thread (Summer 2013)


Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Recommended Posts

Possibly, but all clubs at some point have to sell players for good money.

We cannot keep spending and then only getting rid of the dross on loan or for peanuts.

 

If we hadn't spent £12m on a player for a position where we were well covered the issue wouldn't have arisen.

£3m has been quoted as the second bid from Fulham - we're not really talking about good money.

 

SSN reporting from Staplewood now, expecting 'one final deal to complete the squad'.

 

Sharp and Forte named as potential leavers, nothing in Cork deal.

One more in according to Sky Sports reporter outside training ground

 

I can't believe we're re-signing Neil McCann to fill that number 11 shirt. You wanted a winger, well they've delivered again (unlike McCann ever did).

 

In all seriousness, any indication who this might be? Will we hold the news back for Nicky C's new BFF, Jim White, to deliver at fever pitch? We're Sky tipped off and that's why they've been hanging round SMS like a desperate WAG wannabe?.

All that was said was 'expecting one more in to complete the trio already signed.

A few players out also. No mention of names or positions.

See' date=' that what happens when you work at home AND try to follow deadline day. I lost focus. Still, only 20 mins work time left and I can devote my time properly.[/quote']

 

Working from home does have it's perks. :) Finishing in 20 minutes though!?

no good adding players if you're afraid to drop Lambert so that you finish with a mish-mash of blokes out of position. It's either Osvaldo or Lambert but not both. If we add a wide man you'd have to drop Lallana or JWP but we don't seem willing to do that just now.

 

I dont think that it is a question of being scared to drop SRL. I think that with the additions, MP has now got too many options and still does not really know what his best starting starting 11 is. Last year with a limited squad it was so much easier to have a regular starting 11 and apart from injuries that never changed. This season with the depth of squad we have finding you best 11 becomes a lot more difficult. I would be tempted to go back to last seasons starting 11 and then try to introduce the new signings as and when required. The obvious exception to this is Louvren who is head and shoulders above what we started with last season. Pablo and VW would have to wait for their opportunity and then hopefully grasp it with both hands. I do feel for Corkie in all of this and would like to revert back to Corkie and Spiderman in CM. I just hope that it is not too late. To keep this on topic I would welcome a playmaker/winger type to replace JP but that is all.

Contrary to reports, I understand and am told that #saintsfc might or might not be bringing anyone else in today.

 

Sounds right.

 

The good deals done today are "great deadline business".

 

The bad ones are "panic buys".

 

Fun to be involved in the drama if possible, but much better to have got 3 quality players in earlier.
