Monk Posted 25 October, 2013 Share Posted 25 October, 2013 Had a very interesting chat with an un-named member of Saints staff (no not who you're thinking). Below is a list of players, Saints either moved for or was knocked back by the player or club. when in LG1 & Champ Some we already knew, some we didnt. Rhys Williams Dale Stephens Scott Arfield Gary Hooper Dedryck Boyata Albert Adomah Stephen Gleeson Sam Baldock Sam Sodje Might be of interest to some. Also, we are pushing to sign AOC younger brother Christian from the Skates and also Fulham some 16 year old in their ranks called Emerson Hyndman.

kpturner Posted 25 October, 2013 Share Posted 25 October, 2013 Dale Stephens played for us in L1 did he not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 25 October, 2013 Share Posted 25 October, 2013 We wanted Adomah very strongly when he was at Barnet, we had 2 bids knocked back. We wouldn't pay the asking price, and Bristol City did. He was going to be the Antonio replacement, but we actually already had one in Chamberlain, so it all worked out in the end.

doggface Posted 25 October, 2013 Share Posted 25 October, 2013 Never heard of Gleeson tbh but heard about all the others. Don't know anything about those 2 youngsters - thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 25 October, 2013 Share Posted 25 October, 2013 Dale Stephens played for us in L1 did he not? He did, on loan for a few months, played 5 times when Schneiderlin got injured and we had players walking a yellow card tightrope. I was looking it up the other day and was surprised to find that he played 90 minutes at Plymouth when we all but confirmed promotion and also played at home to Walsall in the last 2 matches of our L1 promotion season, as I thought he'd barely got a game. I do remember Adkins picking Gobern ahead of him at Brighton and thought that was curtains for him, but turned out to be curtains for both of them.

The9 Posted 25 October, 2013 Share Posted 25 October, 2013 Also, Baldock and Gleeson were in the MK Dons side along with Puncheon (he was on loan there from Plymouth when we signed him) at the time and all played against us in the JPT or L1 season. Was Adomah at Bristol City, think he was one of the players we couldn't cope with when we lost to them twice in the same season? If Rhys Williams is the guy at Boro, I think he was just breaking through when we were going through the Championship so quite surprised at that one.

Mr Saints Posted 25 October, 2013 Share Posted 25 October, 2013 Pretty sure we tried to sign Matt Phillips on about 14 occasions aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 26 October, 2013 Share Posted 26 October, 2013 Guessing at which times we tried to sign them, they would have all been decent signings. I would even say that Hooper, Adomah and Boyata might still be here if we'd signed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convict Colony Posted 26 October, 2013 Share Posted 26 October, 2013 Interesting review on Emerson Hyndman, sounds like the central player behind the striker in our 3 forward. http://www.fulhamusa.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=14930 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu0x Posted 26 October, 2013 Share Posted 26 October, 2013 If Rhys Williams is the guy at Boro, I think he was just breaking through when we were going through the Championship so quite surprised at that one. I think he was the one that we made a bid for, or came very close to, and promptly suffered a hideous injury (broken leg maybe?) I think it was the same transfer window that for some reason it became commonly accepted that Curtis Davies and Scott Dann were the second coming of Bruce and Pallister and if we didn't sign them we might as well just forfeit every game.

Saint Garrett Posted 26 October, 2013 Share Posted 26 October, 2013 Rhys Williams played for Boro in the Prem didn't he? My mate always raved about him but said he could never say fit. I remember Nixon saying on Twitter that we were close to signing a CB last year, but it fell through because he broke his leg on the 30th August or something. We then signed Yoshi in a bit of a panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 26 October, 2013 Share Posted 26 October, 2013 Talking of players we were linked with, Jack Butland currently playing for Barnsley v Sheff Wed, hardly the answer to our goalkeeping problems she was billed as. Antonio, who we were assured by some was a future premier league star and absolutely brilliant playing for Wednesday and been awful. Dale Jennings has just replaced the ineffective Jacob mellis too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sorry, we're not linked with him now? Oh. Okay. He's sh it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
