Bearsy Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 the club have not confirmed the nature of the injury or how long he is expected to be out for. If it was good news, we'd have heard about it. Les would've done full page interview in Telegraph.
SKD Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 If it was good news, we'd have heard about it. Les would've done full page interview in Telegraph. Have to say I agree. IMO the club are keeping quiet to ensure they don't weaken their position in the transfer market... Too late for that!
Chez Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Perhaps VVD injury not so bad after all... What else would explain not getting a defender in? if he is genuinely going to be out for three weeks (who knows if that is accurate) then he only misses 2 Prem games (ignoring tonights' game in which a new signing today wouldn't be able to play anyway).
Chris27687 Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Sakho spotted at Euston station London , Does that mean he's off to Palace or he's stuck there due to the trains not running down to Southampton? Southampton trains go from Waterloo...
Chez Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 We don't know - it may or may not be in time for Wembley. That's the point. Genuine question. Can a new signing play in the league cup final? I presume so, but who knows what you can and cant do these days.
Chez Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Southampton trains go from Waterloo... Or Paddington, via Reading. Either way he sounds as lost as he looks on a football pitch to me
simo Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Or Paddington, via Reading. Either way he sounds as lost as he looks on a football pitch to me Well either way he won't be getting here by train the line is closed due to 2 deaths on the line within half hour of each other in different places !
shurlock Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 (edited) Southampton trains go from Waterloo... Maybe he's just arrived in London from oop north (e.g. Liverpool Lime Street goes into Euston). Anyway sounds like BS - do players even take the train for transfers? Edited 31 January, 2017 by shurlock
SKD Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Southampton trains go from Waterloo... Train from Liverpool going into London would go into Euston. It's possible that he could be on his way down here, as I'd imagine you'd either change at Birmingham or go via London for Southampton, however I very much doubt this the case, as the media would have picked up on this. Especially with it being Liverpool who can't seem to keep out of the papers.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 He won't be getting to Southampton from Waterloo anytime soon, trains are screwed.
SuperSAINT Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Southampton trains go from Waterloo... He's not coming here. We can't afford him.
Saint_Ash Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 He's not coming here. We can't afford him. We can, we just don't want to.
The Cat Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 He won't be getting to Southampton from Waterloo anytime soon, trains are screwed. Sounds like any Palace fans heading to Bournemouth on the train will miss the game.
Lets B Avenue Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Southampton trains go from Waterloo... He's not coming here. We can't afford him. I know the train fares went up, but that's ridiculous.
Saint IQ Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Loan Sahko and pay his wages till the summer and if he turns out to be ****e we won't buy, surprised at how many don't want him on here. He's played for France and was starting for Liverpool last season and playing well. Does look dodgy on the ball but generally isn't actually that bad just looks unorthodox.
DT Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 I think he'd be a good addition but looks to be Palace bound to me...
Saint Scott Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 I think he'd be a good addition but looks to be Palace bound to me... I think if we were both in we would be the more attractive option. The longer this drags on we could get him for around £15mil which isn't bad business. The main issue is wages though.
Whitey Grandad Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Genuine question. Can a new signing play in the league cup final? I presume so, but who knows what you can and cant do these days. Normally a player is only Cup-tied if they actually get onto the pitch during a previous round. There will be a deadline day for eligibility but I don't think that will bother us.
disconnect Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 A worryingly slow news day considering the very obvious holes in the squad. Reed needs to pull the striker and centre back out of the bag otherwise there'll be a lot of very unhappy fans. Can't keep cheaping out on us Les! Haven't lost hope yet but it's very unlike Saints to leave it so late.
SuperSAINT Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Adam Leitch @adamleitchsport Just to confirm J-Rod will not be leaving #saintsfc Gabbiadini can still get done. Club hope for a defender but less certainty around that
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 I hope I'm wrong but something tells me we're all done. More spin from Les. 'Fonte won't leave unless we have a replacement'... And that was before VVD's injury.
Saint Garrett Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 If we don't sign a CB we've had a shocking window.
hypochondriac Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Hmm. Looks like we'll get a striker but no cb is a big worry. We were pretty weak there even before Fonte left and now with an injury to vvd we won't go the rest of the season without a cb will we?

Haven't lost hope yet but it's very unlike Saints to leave it so late. You say this like its a change from the norm modern day football fans spend 90% of their lives in a ****ed off state about 90% of stuff that happens at their clubs it seems...

To be fair you can hardly say it's unjustified. To not bring a centre back in would be madness, particularly because you want the strongest team possible for the final.
Pierre Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Maybe Luca Caldirola. He could share rooms with Gabbiadini and Italian can always defend.
eddie Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 I don't understand how there can be "no certainty" about a defender coming in with a few hours to go. The only uncertainty is if he took a wrong direction on the way to Staplewood. Or the Saints social media guy is ill right at the moment they want to hit reveal.
simo Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Maybe Luca Caldirola. He could share rooms with Gabbiadini and Italian can always defend. He any good Pete?

To not bring a centre back in would be madness, particularly because you want the strongest team possible for the final. If we do bring someone in you guarantee that people on here will claim he is beyond crap and still be unhappy anyway.. I was more worried about our DM options anyway we lose Romeu and we are ****ed regardless of who plays at the back but no one seems bothered by that.
Shance Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Sakho is in London. Looks like he's going to palace.
SKD Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 I cannot and will not believe *****il 11pm) that Les hasn't realised how thin we are at CB and hasn't got something lined up. In other news, apparently Bmouth have bid £18million for Ake and it's now 'down to the player'. Exactly our sort of player. £18million a bit ott but that's what you get for leaving it so late. Time to put your hand in your pocket, Kat
beatlesaint Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 If we don't sign a CB we've had a shocking window. absolutely, if we don't sign a Centre Back and then hear in the next few days that Virgil is out for 6-8 weeks then the club gave ****ed up big time, no excuses.
charliemiller Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Sakho is in London. Looks like he's going to palace. Deals can be done by clubs by meeting the player in a hotel and signing it all up ....they do not have to be in Southampton to sign a deal . Just saying

Time to put your hand in your pocket, Kat Really? Seeing as Conte said Ake was part of his future plans that's quite surprising.
Greenridge Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 To be fair you can hardly say it's unjustified. To not bring a centre back in would be madness, particularly because you want the strongest team possible for the final. Les said he would be replaced. Keep Calm and Trust in Les.
Gorgiesaint Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 So Sakho is so desperate to get playing again that despite being on £105k per week, he apparently wants a pay rise when he moves on. Says everything about him, greedy mercenary bar-steward. And obviously already at the right club if Liverpool believe they can ask £2m more than they paid for a player who's basically been suspended for the last 6 months
cellone Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Les said he would be replaced. Keep Calm and Trust in Les. This
Saint-Reece Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 I hope I'm wrong but something tells me we're all done. More spin from Les. 'Fonte won't leave unless we have a replacement'... And that was before VVD's injury. You're usually completely and utterly wrong about everything so that's good.

OttawaSaint Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 I see 2 scenarios: 1) We don't sign a CB and the moaners will be on here all night moaning about; VVD this, Fonte that, Les this, Kat that... 2) We sign a CB and the moaners will be on here all night moaning about; underwhelmed signing this, panic buy that, Les this, Kat that...

Time to put your hand in your pocket, Kat If I was seen to be worth £18m, I think I'd want to sign for someone other than Bournemouth...or is £18m actually not all that much these days?
SKD Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 We could sign him, but I don't think he would be able to play cos of the Rules Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe he has played for Chelsea, so should be okay. Calling MLG to clarify.
SKD Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 If I was seen to be worth £18m, I think I'd want to sign for someone other than Bournemouth...or is £18m actually not all that much these days? If sakho is worth £20m (according to Liverpool) I'd suggest £18m is a bargain. I guess it depends on how his time there went on loan. Can't imagine bmouth would bid if there wasn't an indication of interest from agent tho?
cellone Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 I see 2 scenarios: 1) We don't sign a CB and the moaners will be on here all night moaning about; VVD this, Fonte that, Les this, Kat that... 2) We sign a CB and the moaners will be on here all night moaning about; underwhelmed signing this, panic buy that, Les this, Kat that... I hope it's 2) so I can amuse myself taking the pee of the moaners instead of 1) in which case I'll be joining the moaners.

If you saw any of the Arsenal game you will know that is not worth thinking about, If option 1 cones true I think the number of moaners as you put it will be in the majority for so so many reasons!

Or A) we don't sign a CB, 95% of the fanbase are f ucked off royally (doesn't suit your agenda but it's true I'm afraid), get dicked 5-0 in the final, maybe even relegated B) sign a decent CB and striker and fans are happier Let's hope our under-fire DoF delivers. The decision to play Isgrove Sat cost us a fee from Bristol City as well.
CB Fry Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Les said he would be replaced. Keep Calm and Trust in Les. I'm still there. If we don't sign a CB, it will be a copper-bottomed fu ck up and I will be hunkering down for a good old fashioned meltdown this evening.
