SuperSAINT Posted 17 June, 2015 Posted 17 June, 2015 Why is this thread now a sticky by the way? I think because the deal is as good as done according to various reports.
sad saints fan Posted 17 June, 2015 Posted 17 June, 2015 Oh look.... ??????????????????????????????????
S-Clarke Posted 17 June, 2015 Posted 17 June, 2015 ?????????????????????????????????? I think he's still having, what we call, an ITK sulk.
SNSUN Posted 17 June, 2015 Posted 17 June, 2015 So hearing it's us or Stoke? Surely the Fonte factor helps?
hypochondriac Posted 17 June, 2015 Posted 17 June, 2015 So hearing it's us or Stoke? Surely the Fonte factor helps? Billy has said he's had his medical. Relax it's done.
SNSUN Posted 17 June, 2015 Posted 17 June, 2015 Billy has said he's had his medical. Relax it's done. Ah good. Me can now chill out wit a fatty. (Weed not wife.)
S-Clarke Posted 17 June, 2015 Posted 17 June, 2015 Just been browsing the Sporting forums, it kind of reads like our Clyne thread. Really odd. ''We can replace him for better'' ''he tailed off in the second half of the season'' ''he's not really that good'' etc etc. But there are some very interesting insights, where a fair few believe he will go on to become top quality - but the coaching and 'situations' at Sporting have stalled him slightly. Also, what I think is an ITK sporting guy, he said he's signed a 4 year deal. All done bar the shouting.
Shance Posted 17 June, 2015 Posted 17 June, 2015 (edited) So hearing it's us or Stoke? Surely the Fonte factor helps? He's not and never was going to Stoke. Edit: quoted the wrong post. Lol. Edited 18 June, 2015 by Shance
doggface Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 He's not and never was going to Stoke. Get over yourself pal
david in sweden Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 He's not and never was going to Stoke. just another pathetic rumour to try and jack up the price.....? Typical journo cr*p.
Shance Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 just another pathetic rumour to try and jack up the price.....? Typical journo cr*p. Not sure tbh, by all accounts they had a bid accepted but he wasn't keen on Stoke. That's just something I've read though. As soon as we came in it was us over Stoke.

itchen Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 I can't help but think of the pirates of penzance when discussing this chap. Nothing wrong with that. But the lead character in that work was called Frederick. He had a sense of duty.
iansums Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 He wasn't here yesterday for a medical but he was here for photos. Should be announced pretty soon. Are you questioning KBilly's info? How very dare you! Source please?

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 I imagine the obligatory official tweet will be sent imminently then?
Matthew Le God Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 I get the impression the club like to announce things so it can break at a good time on SSN to get maximum exposure, circa 5pm to 7pm. They'll probably do it at 2:30pm now!
Saint-Armstrong Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 I imagine the obligatory official tweet will be sent imminently then? Not sure. Might make sense for them to hold it back until later this afternoon for 'impact' and because internet traffic will be higher. More hits etc = more money through the site. Also, better performance figures for the media dept. But it's done, I think we can take that from developments.
corky morris Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 Few people on Twitter saying deal is done & due to be announced. 4 year deal.
iansums Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 This deal is very nearly over the line, I expect an announcement some time later today.

Dig Dig Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 I'll wait to see if it's in tomorrows Mirror before I believe anything, ta.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 http://goo.gl/nh4vVt He'll get on with Beavis Mugabi if his translated name in the caption of his photo is correct.
Dan Johnson Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 http://goo.gl/nh4vVt "Note that the direct lateral, also the international class of machines, ended the contract in 2016" Clear as mud
buctootim Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 http://goo.gl/nh4vVt "Note that the direct lateral, also the international class of machines, ended the contract in 2016." Hard to argue with that. It does say Sporting need to confirm the deal so not done yet.
Secret Site Agent Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 (edited) Has he signed yet! Not Cedric I mean Rudi! Sent from me on the bog in the site office because I don't want to go out and look at Japanese knotweed Edited 18 June, 2015 by Secret Site Agent
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 Excellent stuff. Right, who's next? Toby, hopefully!
trousers Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 Big shout out to Shance, called it days ago. What were the shances of that?
iansums Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 Big shout out to Shance, called it days ago. Big deal, I called it 30mins ago.
Batman Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 Excellent stuff. Right' date=' who's next? Toby, hopefully![/quote'] and a keeper I would have thought
SNSUN Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 Right back done. Sign up Clyne and it becomes our strongest position! (However unlikely). 2 in, no outs. I like that. There will be "outs" of course, but it cushions the blow when we sign people first. Keeper, striker, Clyne replacement, (I.e. A second right back) Toby replacement, Morgan replacement and we're done IMO.
trousers Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/20150618-cedric-soares-portugal-sporting-announcement-signing-2498917.aspx Executive Director of Football Les Reed commented: “Cédric represents a quality addition to our squad, and is another player with a desire and hunger to succeed. “Like Juanmi, Cédric is a young player with international experience as well as exceptional talent and potential. He joined Sporting’s academy at the age of eight and progressed through to first-team football and international recognition – a pathway previously trodden by a number of our own homegrown stars. “We have been following Cédric’s progress for some time and felt now was the time to make our move. While there was competition from other Premier League clubs we were confident we would prove to be an attractive option for such an ambitious player.
SO16_Saint Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 Have to say, I know nothing of this guy but if RK et al think he's good enough, who are we to disagree
Saint_Abroad Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 Southampton is a big, big club in England Take note Spurs, this is what a big club looks like.
Colinjb Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 He looks determined.... almost growling into the camera.
iansums Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 Is it just me or does anyone else see a mild resemblance to Luis Suarez? It's the shape of the mouth/teeth. Hope he's not a biter
disconnect Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 Pretty happy about this. Although a Liverpool fan in our office reckons a 15mil deal is confirmed for Clyne.
The9 Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 Right back done. Sign up Clyne and it becomes our strongest position! (However unlikely). 2 in, no outs. I like that. There will be "outs" of course, but it cushions the blow when we sign people first. Keeper, striker, Clyne replacement, (I.e. A second right back) Toby replacement, Morgan replacement and we're done IMO. Fairly sure Elia and Djuricic are "outs" at this stage...
