Convict Colony Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 Am relaxed about the CB situation for one and only one simple reason, it was time to dig it out again anyway but....
Saint Charlie Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 It will be announced today or tomorrow, I imagine. I expect he'll be involved in the match day squad, but probably won't play. Would be a bit silly if we did play him really. Not exactly giving him a fair chance of being successful.
Whitey Grandad Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 (edited) I can't get over the way our players were gone in a flash-whoosh, no messing -gone. But getting one in takes ages and often ends in a negative. It puzzles me, something wrong somewhere Takes ages? That's because you start believing they've signed as soon as they are on the rumour list. How long did Lallana take to leave, several months? Edited 13 August, 2014 by Whitey Grandad
Big Bad Bob Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 I can't get over the way our players were gone in a flash-whoosh, no messing -gone. But getting one in takes ages and often ends in a negative. It puzzles me, something wrong somewhere Because our players were tapped up and wanted to go, the players we're after might need a bit of convincing. Still, the only quick ones I can think of were Lambert and Chambers. Lovren, Shaw and Lallana's transfers dragged on a bit didn't they...
john_ro Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 Transfer info, yet to be confirmed: £6M, wage £20,000 pw Should be announced later today or tomorrow morning latest
Convict Colony Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 Transfer info, yet to be confirmed: £6M, wage £20,000 pw Should be announced later today or tomorrow morning latest Seems like a bargain which if he turns out to be diamond we have enough wage scope to increase it to ward off the bigger boys.
ART Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 Would be a bit silly if we did play him really. Not exactly giving him a fair chance of being successful. OMG. There was a time when we'd sign players before Friday lunchtime to play them next day. Our match is on Sunday so why is it not fair to play him. Have you never heard how at baptism of fire often produces good results. What is all wrong is we could have had an additional friendly like Mn U and Chelsea on Monday or Tuesday. Surprised this Echo update isn't posted on this thread http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/11404740.Florin_deal_close__but_Byram_interest_cools/?ref=twt Florin photographed last night
Saint Charlie Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 Just thinking that he would have had 1 day to train with teammates whilst Yoshida and Fonte have had the whole of pre season playing together.
JxgrSaint Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 Transfer info, yet to be confirmed: £6M, wage £20,000 pw Should be announced later today or tomorrow morning latest Thanks for the update john_ro, is it £6m or €6m? Seen both bandied about and was wondering what the Romanian press are reporting...
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 Transfer info, yet to be confirmed: £6M, wage £20,000 pw Should be announced later today or tomorrow morning latest Where did that information come from? The Romanian link posted a few posts back quoted an unofficial Southampton news twitter which probably just made it up.
stevegrant Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 Thanks for the update john_ro, is it £6m or €6m? Seen both bandied about and was wondering what the Romanian press are reporting... It's Euros, as far as I can tell, so around £4.8m.
john_ro Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 Thanks for the update john_ro, is it £6m or €6m? Seen both bandied about and was wondering what the Romanian press are reporting... Apparently the amount is £6m / €7.5m, not 4,8m as presented before. Where did that information come from? The Romanian link posted a few posts back quoted an unofficial Southampton news twitter which probably just made it up. "Sources close to the player and team"... How legit those sources are, we shall see. To me it makes little difference if the fee is 6 or 4.8 mil, I just want this sorted out... ASAP
Toadhall Saint Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 It's Euros, as far as I can tell, so around £4.8m. Which even if he's carp is not a lot in todays football economy!

Big Bad Bob Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 Yes, but he needs to have a medical first. He must be a Craig David fan. I had a medical on Monday, had another on Tuesday we were making medicals by Wednesday and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we signed on Sunday
Ken Tone Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 Apart from the everlasting medicals he's supposedly had, seriously, is he fit enough to play immediately? He was reported to have some sort of muscular injury, and even if that is better now, presumably he's not been training flat out
beancounter saint Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 He must be a Craig David fan. I had a medical on Monday, had another on Tuesday we were making medicals by Wednesday and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we signed on Sunday I like that!
Halo Stickman Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 New song by Les Reed: We signed Gardos on Sunday Medical lasted till Monday Then the press went on home Leaving us alone, Side by side. We got ready for bed then So imagine my surprise when He pulled off his hair Laid his false teeth on a chair Side by side. Then he took off his false leg And laid it against the wall Unscrewed his arm, pulled out his eye Till there was nothing left At all, at all, at all, at all There I stood broken hearted Half of Gardos had departed So I slept on the chair There was more of him there Side by side.
Saint Charlie Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 Transfer paperwork to be completed in a few minutes according to Valeriu Argaseala, President of Steaua. Player has left Romania and due to sign today. Source: @VladR and also @rbaicu

I'm excited for this player, he costs nothing and actually seems to want to join us. Let's hope he's more of a Lovren level player than a Forren
Window Cleaner Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 It's Euros, as far as I can tell, so around £4.8m. Which incidentally neither country involved uses at the present time.
washsaint Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 Know nothing about this player but, for some reason, feel very confident he will be an outstanding player for us. Certainly feel better about this signing than Long. So that should be 7 in (at least) and 3 first team regulars and 2 not so regulars (Lambert and Chambers) out. All in all, not a bad transfer window and certainly no signs of the 'asset strip' that some of the more highly strung posters have said we were going through.
stevegrant Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 Which incidentally neither country involved uses at the present time. Indeed, but I would suggest the Romanian Lei is more closely linked to the Euro than Sterling, hence Romanian journalists having quoted the price in Euros and not pounds.

I'm not even sure where they are with their desire to acceed to the Euro system, sh*tty economy so probably none too close.

Can't imagine they'd be in any great rush to join anyway, but that's a conversation for elsewhere (perhaps here, which I thought was quite interesting)

Lambert started enough games last season to be classified as a regular FFS. Off the top of my head at least 30 something of our 38 league games and probably more than Lovren did.
grezz Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 UPDATE 17: 50 / Guard Star talked to fans through FANATIK.RO , revealing that the moment has not yet signed the agreement with Southampton. "Right now, I can say that I have signed. I can talk more after this happens. Wait a moment, please! " , was the message defender for Red Star fans. - See more at: http://www.fanatik.ro/gardos-10-275123#ad-image-0 Give him a ******* pen!!
Greenridge Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 Give him a ******* pen!! He has to have a medical first.

It puzzles me, something wrong somewhere You can't really say that, look how drawn out the Lallana, Lovren Shaw transfers were. It just a shame Southampton didn't try and sign the replacements before the sales were agreed.

Off the top of my head at least 30 something of our 38 league games and probably more than Lovren did. Do you think Lambert would have been a first team regular this year, considering we tried replacing him last summer and that he was also nearly sold in January?
angelman Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 Done deal! To be confirmed TBC is the important bit I think

Viking Warrior Posted 13 August, 2014 Posted 13 August, 2014 I have it on good authority he has passed his final medical but still has to have a dental check up and an eye sight check
