SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 21 July, 2016 Posted 21 July, 2016 OK... there are a lot of people getting impatient for our next signing, SO how about a sweepstake to see who can predict correctly which date or dates will see the announcement of further new signings. So let's see who can make an accurate prediction. Of course there need to be a few rules: 1. Only one prediction per user. 2. Second predictions made by anyone are null and void and can be claimed by anyone else. 3. If someone submits a prediction that they then discover has already been claimed then they may submit another instead. 4. Your first prediction is binding in every other case - you may not change your mind and select a different prediction. 5. Each prediction must correspond to one singular day on the calendar and not to a range of dates. Otherwise the prediction is null and void. 6. Only new signings count - not players signing extended contracts. 7. However, should Saints sign a former Saints player who has left and signed for another club (other than on loan) then that signing WILL constitute a new signing. 8. Dates chosen may be in the current transfer window or a future one. Incidentally, I am only a registered member of this forum so if admins would like to edit the thread to show dates which have been claimed please feel free. Thanks!

Lighthouse Posted 21 July, 2016 Posted 21 July, 2016 I'm going for a tactical 3rd August. A relatively big name offensive (positionally speaking, I'm not talking about indecent exposure) player to boost attendance for the Athletic game on the following Sunday.
Shroppie Posted 21 July, 2016 Posted 21 July, 2016 Is there no option for no more signings? Later windows are allowed. So you could go for, say, August 31st 2019. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

UpweySaint Posted 21 July, 2016 Posted 21 July, 2016 August 6th, unveiling at Bilbao friendly the following day.
SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 21 July, 2016 Author Posted 21 July, 2016 I accidentally posted this earlier without ever selecting my own prediction. I was going to go for 2 August but as that has already been taken and so hsve the following couple of days, I will go for 1 August instead! ☺ Sent from my GT-I9195I using Tapatalk
Shroppie Posted 21 July, 2016 Posted 21 July, 2016 Shane Long - get in. Doesn't count. Check the rules! Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
alpine_saint Posted 22 July, 2016 Posted 22 July, 2016 Are there even any decent rumours ? Puel's "taking stock of what hes got" seems to have killed everything.
SNSUN Posted 22 July, 2016 Posted 22 July, 2016 28 July. The underwhelming signing of a back up keeper. Cue meltdown # 43 of the summer. This is followed a day later by a huge marquee signing of an AM. Put your house on it. I am not ITK.
Pilchards Posted 22 July, 2016 Posted 22 July, 2016 Going 26th of July that Wolsberg striker called Das Boot.

DT Posted 22 July, 2016 Posted 22 July, 2016 whatever happened to getting a squad training together in good time for the season ahead?
Dublin Saint Posted 22 July, 2016 Posted 22 July, 2016 Bloody soon I hope. Sorry I'll change my sheets
Shroppie Posted 1 August, 2016 Posted 1 August, 2016 I'll take August 1. Well done. We have a winner. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
Saint IQ Posted 1 August, 2016 Posted 1 August, 2016 1-31st July 2-5th August 3-31st August 1 day out Still going for the next one on the 5th and 1 or 2 on the 31st
Shroppie Posted 1 August, 2016 Posted 1 August, 2016 Would have won if Saints had pulled their finger out and got it done before the weekend. I feel robbed. We always seal deals on Fridays. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

I live in Fiji, we're a couple of days ahead.

Well, how did that happen?! I've been intending to provide an update of where we were up to with this but I've failed to make the time; yet now it seems less necessary following the announcements of not just one but two signings! Nevertheless, I hope these will not be the last two signings we make. Hopefully we will soon also be announcing the signings of a couple of attacking players. So, let's keep going with this topic and see what happens...!
SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 2 August, 2016 Author Posted 2 August, 2016 I'll take August 1. Good guess... though sadly you were beaten to it... embarassingly enough by me! As a youth worker it is not usually the done thing for me to win my own games, but this is a bit different and in my defence I had originally intended to go for August 2nd but someone beat me to it! Anyway, I shall enjoy my prize...!
