stevegrant Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 One question I have for the ITKs (Guan, KBSS and Monk) is Scott Sinclair - were Saints interested/still interested? Sinclair's stock has fallen pretty dramatically since he left Swansea, he barely even made the bench for that woeful West Brom side last season. Everyone knew it was a suicidal career move to go to Man City but I guess the cash on offer was too good to turn down at the time.

Saints could well be the place that revived his career if he was cheap enough.

City would be happy to get shot of him but I fear his attitude to his career has changed somewhat. No idea whether Koeman's got any history of reviving failing careers, but if so could be worth a speculative punt. Would certainly give us the genuine pace that we've lacked since Rodriguez got injured.

You'd hope he couldn't be that jaded or disinterested so young.

Hopefully we will see Lovern and Lallana sitting on the bench for a newly promoted Norwich team in a couple of seasons then....
Big Bad Bob Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 I agree his attitude might be a bit suspect, but hes still only 25. You'd hope he couldn't be that jaded or disinterested so young. He's ****ging Helen Flannigan isn't he, apparently they're trying for a baby. Maybe he wants to become the stay at home father and live off of her stellar career!!
doddisalegend Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Woudn't Ince be a better punt than Sinclair? yeah but then you have to deal with his dad ......Nathan Redmond would be my choice or prehaps Nathan Dyer
Andy Durman Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Wonder Why Guan got the Information that he's going to Everton? Was he teasing us?
Saint Charlie Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Wonder Why Guan got the Information that he's going to Everton? Was he teasing us? He didn't say he was, just that he might.
Saint Martini Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 City would be happy to get shot of him but I fear his attitude to his career has changed somewhat. No idea whether Koeman's got any history of reviving failing careers, but if so could be worth a speculative punt.

Beckenham Saint Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 For gods sake let's have something different, and that doesn't reference to past players. He plays on the left, he plays on the right, Dusan Tadic makes Adam look....... He plays on the left, He plays on the right Dusan Tadic Makes Lallana look .... You hear that Colin, FFS!! We would like a chant with no context or nod to anything that went before!! :lol:
St.Patrik Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 It´s like telling Spuds not to sing Ohhh When the Saints..... I hate when they sing our song : /
Colinjb Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 You hear that Colin, FFS!! We would like a chant with no context or nod to anything that went before!! :lol: He stands just under 6ft tall, Tadic.... Tadic....?
Big Bad Bob Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 You hear that Colin, FFS!! We would like a chant with no context or nod to anything that went before!! :lol: He plays on the left, He plays on the right, Dusan Tadic makes Pompey look ****e We hate Pompey, We Hate Pompey...
saint_ed Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Wonder Why Guan got the Information that he's going to Everton? Was he teasing us? He didn't say he was going to Everton, he said it was in the balance which does seem to have been the case.
Big Bad Bob Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 He didn't say he was going to Everton, he said it was in the balance which does seem to have been the case. A lot in the press and on this very board over the last few days, about the 'proof' of the inability of the new board and management to carry out 'the dream'. I, for one, have to humbly disagree. Who are we potentially these players to? West Ham, Newcastle, Aston Villa? No! The only clubs that are threatening to diminish our current squad (which we are trying to reinforce btw), are those that were one of only seven to finish above us last season. We had several crown jewels that outshone the lesser lights of those other squads, and now they have tempted them with lucre in the case of Adam/Liverpool, Rebuild a great club/Lucre in the case of Shaw, or Life long loyalty in the case of Rickie. The team has no mass exodus, just a few players who want in on the cash train offered by teams above us. So we will have to replace and improve on them, as Morgan says. The team we are left with, even on its own would finish mid table, with, Boruc, clyne, Fonte, Yoshi, Chambers, Morgan, Big Vic, Cork, Davis, J-Rod, and Ward-Prowse making a highly competitive first eleven. But that will not be the first eleven! It is true that Tadic and Pelle were supposed to be wrapped up by the end of last week, and it seems as if Tadic may join Everton now (another club who are bigger than us. I swear some of our fellow fans think that our eighth place finish put us in the champions league spots). This was, no doubt, the reason for the delays from his agent. Starting now, the undisclosed fee policy (Post-Pelle) will be twinned with the transfer committee becoming the penetralia of the club. For my part, I will restrict myself to smilies hours before a transfer is complete/ It's the OP on the 'Does the board have a case to answer to' fred
saint_ed Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 NO. It is in the balance. And he would prefer Germany over England, if any club there could afford him.... It's the OP on the 'Does the board have a case to answer to' fred Earlier in this thread.... NO. It is in the balance. And he would prefer Germany over England, if any club there could afford him....
Big Bad Bob Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Earlier in this thread.... Yeah I know, but you said Guan didn't say that Tadic was off to Everton, I was just pointing out that he had and then, later, he said it was in the balance...
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 So, is it in the balance, has he gone elsewhere or is he signing for us today?
saint_ed Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 So' date=' is it in the balance, has he gone elsewhere or is he signing for us today?[/quote'] Supposedly its no longer in the balance now as we upped our offer.
Colinjb Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 So' date=' is it in the balance, has he gone elsewhere or is he signing for us today?[/quote'] As I read it: 1) We agreed a fee. 2) Everton also came in. 3) He is choosing a move to us rather then the Toffees.
Minty Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 So' date=' is it in the balance, has he gone elsewhere or is he signing for us today?[/quote'] Sorry for picking on you, but why do people ask such specific questions when it's clear that nothing is definite until it's on the OS? Players can change their mind, clubs can change their mind, players wives can change their mind, agents can stick their oar in, all sorts can happen. Even those ITK know that any info they pass on is only true at the time their contact heard it, and could've changed already by the time it reaches us or the media.
Saint Charlie Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Guy at work just bit his thumb off because Tadic hasn't signed yet. Claret everywhere Madness in the extreme. As long as its done by 4 it will be fine.
Beckenham Saint Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 (edited) He plays on the left, He plays on the right, Dusan Tadic makes Pompey look ****e We hate Pompey, We Hate Pompey... I'd be worried if he didn't make Pompey look..... To be fair to them, they do it enough themselves. Edited 7 July, 2014 by Beckenham Saint

The reason I asked was because often the good news filters through on here before it's officially confirmed (a Guan smiley for instance) and I was just asking my Saints brethren to save myself the necessity of working my through the posts.

Beckenham Saint Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 When asked if he was signing for #saintsfc today he said 'hopefully'. Have the reactionary's on here got to now aim the same vitriol at Tadíc already as he is quoted as saying the same thing Lallana said to that young Liverpool fan?
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Have the reactionary's on here got to now aim the same vitriol at Tadíc already as he is quoted as saying the same thing Lallana said to that young Liverpool fan? No, it's ok, he's signing for us.
Beckenham Saint Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 No' date=' it's ok, he's signing for us.[/quote'] Ah that's OK - pleased we won't have to sit through that repetitive tedium again, then!
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Ah that's OK - pleased we won't have to sit through that repetitive tedium again, then! We get to talk about his new found commitment to our cause and how he will definitely become a legend because he's so talented.
Beckenham Saint Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 We get to talk about his new found commitment to our cause and how he will definitely become a legend because he's so talented. Better not let people on here know that he is foreign and that we are going to be paying money for him though, some will be willing to ignore his obvious talents in the face of those facts.
Saint_Ash Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Claimed sighting at Southampton! https://twitter.com/aaronwoodford Can't have a good signing without the airport rumour. This lad doesn't say if it is him who saw him or someone else and he's passing it on. Obviously the camera on his smart phone wasn't working. I would take this with a pinch of salt.
stevegrant Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Just as well he didn't get the Eurostar over today...
Viking Warrior Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Out of interest st Charlie as your mate is bleeding claret .does that mean he's now signing for villa , Ammers or burnley . Lol
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Claimed sighting at Southampton! https://twitter.com/aaronwoodford I'm going to believe him as he has the same surname as our former chairman Alan.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Just as well he didn't get the Eurostar over today... Good point! Are you still expecting it to all go through today/soon?
melmacian_saint Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 I'm going to believe him as he has the same surname as our former chairman Alan. Maybe that's why he pretends to be an annoying ITK.
Coldridge Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Out of interest st Charlie as your mate is bleeding claret .does that mean he's now signing for villa , Ammers or burnley . Lol Part of the deal for Ron Vlaar or Danny Ings perhaps?
sotonist Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Have the reactionary's on here got to now aim the same vitriol at Tadíc already as he is quoted as saying the same thing Lallana said to that young Liverpool fan? Twente have accepted our bid and publicised that fact. Not sure it's comparable.
stevegrant Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Good point! Are you still expecting it to all go through today/soon? Not heard any different.
Beckenham Saint Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Twente have accepted our bid and publicised that fact. Not sure it's comparable.
SNSUN Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 I'm probably a bit premature but have our lyricists come up with any Novell chants ? Ive written one. It goes: Lallana's a c***, Lallana's a c***, Lallana's a f****** c***, Lallana's a c***, Lallana's a c***, Lallana's a f****** c***. (Oh and we also signed Tadic.) It doesn't rhyme, scan or make any sense, but IMO it works. ;-)
The Cat Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Dusan Tadic woo oooo Dusan Tadic woo oooo He comes from Serbia He f*cking hates Pompey Who cares if it doesn't rhyme, it mentions that he hates Pompey which is the most important.
CB Saint Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Ive written one. It goes: Lallana's a c***, Lallana's a c***, Lallana's a f****** c***, Lallana's a c***, Lallana's a c***, Lallana's a f****** c***. (Oh and we also signed Tadic.) It doesn't rhyme, scan or make any sense, but IMO it works. ;-) Drop the "Lallana's a" bit and use the old Hagar the horrible skol drinking song. Sing whenever he gets ball.
itchen_dan Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 (edited) From most recent reports Fee agreed €15m +/- €1.2m of that goes to previous club Gronigen Presume the reason the price has gone up a few million is that Twente wanted their full whack and the extra pays Gronigen's slice which is totally fair enough.

Bearsy Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 From most recent reports Fee agreed €15m +/- €1.2m goes to previous club Gronigen Seems a strange way of doing things but I hope the fee comes up €15m in our favour rather than theirs. I spose it's sorted by coin toss or something?
SNSUN Posted 7 July, 2014 Posted 7 July, 2014 Drop the "Lallana's a" bit and use the old Hagar the horrible skol drinking song. Sing whenever he gets ball. Im 33 and I had to look up that reference!
