Bucks Saint Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Sunderland don't appear to have taken long organising Rodwell to come in yet we still wait for another loan? Sunderland: "Just £10m for someone who has hardly played for 2 years? Cool, no problem, we know you are short of cash Man City. A 5 year contract at £60k per week, plus a 5% signing on fee? Yes of course, very happy to agree Mr Rodwell, sir, where do we sign?" Easy
offix Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Dutch paper De Telegraaf reports that Van Gaal will allow Nani, Anderson, Javier Hernandez en Shinji Kagawa to leave during this window.
goneawol Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 ..BBC journalist and ESPN are reporting a deal for Fraser Forster is close. Forster in, Boruc out? http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/329981.html
hypochondriac Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Forster in, Boruc out? http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/329981.html Seems a little pointless as the problem will still be there but OK.
ART Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Obviously they are struggling inside St Mary's inundated by all the players they have to see. Les Reid's Office Ralph, overwhelmed by excitement.
Wade Garrett Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 My point being though if you take out clubs who have made free transfer signings it'll probably be a better comparison only 1 of those players, Campbell, would have involved negotiations with the selling club. 7 of those are Free Transfers so the process would have been allot quicker, no selling club to negotiate with, no player chain, not as much paper work when you take out free transfers and concentrate on negotiations whether loan or free Arsenal - 4 signings Aston Villa - 0 (2 development fees) Burnley - 3 signings Chelsea - 4 Signings Palace - 1 Signing Everton - 3 Hull - 4 Leicester - 1 Liverpool - 6 Man City - 2 Utd - 2 Newcastle - 6 QPR - 1 Southampton - 3 Stoke - 2 Sunderland - 2 Swansea - 4 Spurs - 3 WBA - 3 West Ham 6 So 60 signings in totally excluding free transfers which means the average transfers that have been negotiated per club is 3... I'm sorry, but anyone trying to justify our transfer business thus far is either deluded or a club stooge.
Norm Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Obviously they are struggling inside St Mary's inundated by all the players they have to see. Les Reid's Office Ralph, overwhelmed by excitement. Where did you get the photo of my den? Before I retired, my office my sooo tidy. Now, see above!
JxgrSaint Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Dutch paper De Telegraaf reports that Van Gaal will allow Nani, Anderson, Javier Hernandez en Shinji Kagawa to leave during this window. Wouldn't mind Nani, Hernandez or Kagawa. Can't believe they actually want to keep hold of Cleverley though...
KingdomCome Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Obviously they are struggling inside St Mary's inundated by all the players they have to see. Les Reid's Office Ralph, overwhelmed by excitement. You sure that's not the dept that deal with transfer requests?
ratio_decidendi Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Wouldn't mind Nani, Hernandez or Kagawa. Can't believe they actually want to keep hold of Cleverley though... Would much prefer the first two. Surprised to see that Nani is only 27...!
Badger Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Just wondering what will happen in the (less than likely) event that Celtic progress in the CL. Does that mean back to the drawing board for Reed & Co for a GK and no VVD ? Good job Reed has a long last of quality players wanting to join us.
saintwbu Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Would much prefer the first two. Surprised to see that Nani is only 27...! Ability wise Kagawa p*sses all over Nani and Hernandez, wasted by United's insistence on deploying Rooney wherever he fancies that day and refusing to cater for the more creative players in their actual role. However I'd imagine you're focussing on the fact we already have plenty of midfielders, and we need a Nani or Hernandez type more, which would be a fair point. From what I gather Dortmund would take Kagawa back in a heartbeat so wouldn't be surprised to see him back there eventually, shame.
Killers Knee Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Nonsense, it means we get a slightly worse keeper and the same awful back ups but we'll be 7-8 million worse off. How could anyone not support that? This 100% It's certainly motivating me for the new season.
Saint-Fred Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 How long did Sunderland spend on his signing all told? Which is why I said "appear to" rather than they have? However he was on tour with city in America so I assume they weren't following him round at half time negotiating terms?
Saint Charlie Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Jamie Mackie on his way? Would fit our revised profile...
Wes Tender Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 I'm sorry, but anyone trying to justify our transfer business thus far is either deluded or a club stooge. Or is somebody prepared to wait until either the start of the new season or the closure of the transfer window before making their minds up. Comparing favourably those who have so far come in against those who have left does not make anybody deluded or a club stooge, even if you wish to believe that. You are entitled to your opinion, if you wish to base it on circumstances that are not yet complete.
ART Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Amazed to see all the Man U squad has already arrived back from the States. Must be in a hurry to ship out their rejects Jamie Mackie on his way? Would fit our revised profile... Where's he off too. Thought he's just signed from QPR to Notts Forest. Pearce is going to throw a wobbler if he's on his way out.
ratio_decidendi Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Ability wise Kagawa p*sses all over Nani and Hernandez, wasted by United's insistence on deploying Rooney wherever he fancies that day and refusing to cater for the more creative players in their actual role. However I'd imagine you're focussing on the fact we already have plenty of midfielders, and we need a Nani or Hernandez type more, which would be a fair point. From what I gather Dortmund would take Kagawa back in a heartbeat so wouldn't be surprised to see him back there eventually, shame. Precisely. If we hadn't already invested millions into Tadic then Kagawa would be an absolute no brainer.
derry Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 If it's Boruc out and Forster in with Davis No2 Koeman is certifiable. I can't believe he doesn't know what a shambles it was last year when Boruc was injured and our season fell apart until he returned.
Batman Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 If it's Boruc out and Forster in with Davis No2 Koeman is certifiable. I can't believe he doesn't know what a shambles it was last year when Boruc was injured and our season fell apart until he returned. if koeman was in control of the transfers
broncoboy Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 This is more like Les in his office Don't really get it. As Les says inundated with players keen to come to the club Cant imagine what its like if Les is holding a barbecue . None of the neighbours would be able to make it. The club would get on a bit better if they were actually honest with the fans and kept us in the picture Can see Les taking some stick after Sept 1 If they sell Morgan to Spurs in return for some unwanted donkey he is liable to be strung from the rafters In Les we trust. On no we dont
Saint Charlie Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 If it's Boruc out and Forster in with Davis No2 Koeman is certifiable. I can't believe he doesn't know what a shambles it was last year when Boruc was injured and our season fell apart until he returned. Agree. Would be pretty pointless buying Forster and then letting Boruc go. Need two keepers who are reliable enough. Look at Elliott for Newcastle, had a cracking game against us, no chance of Gazza or Davis doing the same. If either Gazza, or Davis is second choice keeper, or Hooiveld third or fourth chocie CB at the end of the window then we have failed IMO.
Puddings and Monkeys Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Which is why I said "appear to" rather than they have? Funny how "appear to" always seems to get used with negative connotations against SFC. Odd.
Smirking_Saint Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Another predictable day on Saints Transfer thread, Guantanamera , We are about to sign Philipp Lahm, from Bayern Munich, and Neymar from Barcelona, :):):) Hypo What are we buying these two for , they are no better than what we already have. god we have a load of tosh sitting on the bench Batman , Stupid signing we should have kept shaw and Lallana Saint Richmond , Is that all the club can afford, I told you the club were stashing away the money and are about to sell the club Saint Charlie Would be nice to get some more English players in , instead of the foriegn money grabbing players Viking Warrior , Brilliant Signings , who needs Adam who and Luke (Im not sure if he is going to be any good) shaw Yup, predictably you are pretentious and presumptious. And believe you have somehow been elevated to the forum police, somewhat annoyingly.
Roger Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Boruc is not going anywhere. We will now have two good goalies.
jasonb Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Wouldn't mind Nani, Hernandez or Kagawa. Can't believe they actually want to keep hold of Cleverley though... He was chopped up and fed to the pigs out at Carrington weeks ago. True story.
derry Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 if koeman was in control of the transfers If he isn't he should ship out because he would be no manager.
Pancake Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 If he isn't he should ship out because he would be no manager. Isn't he head coach not manager?
DT Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Boruc is not going anywhere. We will now have two good goalies. Hope you know this as fact. I don't want to see our farcical sub keeper(s) again
derry Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Isn't he head coach not manager? Semantics. Either way if he isn't in charge he should go because the buck stops at him. Fail and it's him that gets sacked.
Sour Mash Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 I'd be content enough with Forster in place of Boruc, but would still expect additional back-up to be brought in, even if its just on loan.
Window Cleaner Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Semantics. Either way if he isn't in charge he should go because the buck stops at him. Fail and it's him that gets sacked. If we could afford to sack him that is, took Valencia for 7 million euros back in 2008, Koeman's obviously don't come cheap, unlike Pochettinos.
Bartosz Bialkowski Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 The club are more concerned for club captain Davis with this signing. I expect boruc will remain
Bartosz Bialkowski Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 £25m on two players would be a statement
InvictaSaint Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 £25m on two players would be a statement Is that what you are expecting BB?
buctootim Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 £25m on two players would be a statement £25m? for Forster and van Dijk? Thought it would be more like £14m
farawaysaint Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 £25m on two players would be a statement Haven't we already paid 20mill on 2?
Bartosz Bialkowski Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 I know that at at least one deal (other than Taider) is imminent, what I can't work out is where £25 comes into it.
ratio_decidendi Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 When did this Bartosz guy suddenly become ITK? Genuine inquiry... Signing to be announced later today (hopefully) which i believe will be a keeper
Saint Matty 76 Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 The other imminent deal will be Forster, not too sure why van Dijk doesn't seem to be developing. Assuming the fact that Forster will be at a maximum, £9m, is it expected that van Dijk would cost £14m or is it a completely new player?
buctootim Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 I know that at at least one deal (other than Taider) is imminent, what I can't work out is where £25 comes into it. Err aren't you the one who mentioned the £25m?
Dalek2003 Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 £25m on two players would be a statement Er...I don't think so. Not going to happen.
bazza Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 I'm sorry, but anyone trying to justify our transfer business thus far is either deluded or a club stooge. ^ This.
Bartosz Bialkowski Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Err aren't you the one who mentioned the £25m? Im not on the board, I only get passed snippets
Goatboy Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 Err aren't you the one who mentioned the £25m? Commonly known as doing a Richmond.
hutch Posted 5 August, 2014 Posted 5 August, 2014 I know that at at least one deal (other than Taider) is imminent, what I can't work out is where £25 comes into it. Sandwiches and cokes so the lawyers can work through lunch?
