Welcome Florin.

 

Oh and it's been a while since I was an expert on UK currency, but shouldn't he be called Six Bob?

Two bob in my day and we used them all the time. The early ones were pure silver (pre 1920 something) then they went to 50% before the nickel-copper. When the silver price rose all the early ones disappeared for some reason.

Apparently not because koeman said it wasn't finalised, perhaps it's just the player's agent trying to push us into a corner.

His profile says that his 'agent' is a famly member

A two bob bit was a nice coin, you felt that you were someone if you had a few in your pocket.

Koeman just now its almost done or around about way

 

Could you translate that into Romanian, please, I might understand it better?

Good signing. Upgrading prediction to team: comfortable mid table, squad: skirting a few places clear of relegation

[Block34]

So has 2-bob signed or is this still just smoke and mirrors? Or maybe waiting to make an announcement tomorrow before the match?

[S-Clarke]

A little bit of info from a Romanian guy I've randomly known for a while.

 

very good player, surprised not more offers at that price. Better than vlad. He was tracked by Manchester clubs not so long ago. He is a perfect fit for the premier league due to his style. Very similar to Lovren.

[Cascadia Saint]

Sign him! Sticky this!

 

Looks like a quality signing.

Hopefully without Lovren's attitude

[Whitey Grandad]

Do we get all of him or is his head somewhere else?

I was joking. Mate you're a legend.

[JoeShmoe]

Now this is in the public domain watch spurs or Liverpool or wet sham come in and hijack

How do you "randomly" know someone?

Careful with the two bob moniker. It's a term of abuse where I live.

It's a shilling accusation!

Perhaps he'll get Puncheon's old squad number?

[DT]

Confused. Have we signed him or not?

I remain convinced we need x2 CBs.

[Saint Charlie]

  DT said:

No, but we very possibly will.

[JxgrSaint]

It's only £4.5m, just buy a cheaper (and possibly better) keeper and get both Gardos and Rojo. Simples

[itchen_dan]

@rbaicu: Gardos to #SaintsFC: Steaua's executive confirms there's interest, but says the player can go after the #CL playoff. It cant happen before.

[DT]

Another one bites the dust.

Doesn't fit with k Billy's post re the medical?

Neither did saints comments that chambers was "ill" wen in actual fact he was having a medical at Arsenal.

 

They could be covering themselves should he decide to stay

True.

[itchen_dan]

But didn't either Guan or K Billy or someone else on here say medicals etc are done in preparation of a deal happening? That would make sense.

If we do get him, pretty cool that the club managed to keep it quiet.

 

..... always thought this was part of " the Southampton Way "..(ala Cortese).....keep everything under wraps until all the paperwork has been filed !

[sentry]

Agreed, If it were a choice of Forster and Rojo or Cheap Keeper, Rojo and Gardos I would take the three players.

[ART]

If the guy hasn't left Romania yet how could he have been the one for the medical??

The clue's in the first two letters of your post.

I still see a 50p coin and think "ten bob".

Me too. That was two gallons of petrol. I offered a checkout girl in a supermarket 'tuppence' to make the change simpler. She didn't have a clue what I was talking about.

Surely if Koeman wants the three players in discussion, Forster, Gardos and Rojo....surely the club can get all three in terms of the financial outlay? Considering les reed said he would get money to spend before we made the best part of £100mill on sales?

Yes but koeman also is desperate for a striker.

Looks handy, could be a good combo with Jose?

Youtube, De Ridder, etc etc etc., but I like the look of this guy's defensive skill set. No nonsense, not afraid to put the big challenges in - a yes please from me based on this short compilation!

gr8 signing i have heard of this guy loads of times i was saying bout him on HCDAJU threads even back when we was league 1

 

 

A link to the proof would be good Bearsy BUT somehow ........

[Bensfcno1]

So we can't afford all 4?

He had a medical last night 100% fact.

 

  Bewildered said:

Honest answer is i don't know, i cant second guess the club as to what they will do or decide to buy. he is a player we have lined up as a possible signing. Players do have medicals and still not sign. its not always a sign the transfer is a 100% done deal.

 

Regards Forster i said long ago when we signed the new gk coach Dave Watson that the club wanted a keeper and coach to have previously worked together. Knew he was a possibility but club could have gone for foster,ruddy so couldn't say a name for definite.

 

in future i will go back to posting confirmation of deals when they 100% complete if they have not already broken in the media.

Thanks for the info. You're always a true thread of sense in a bolt of sh*te.
