next Saturday or last?

 

This Sat. It was part of a Twitter "discussion" that he had with Adam Blackmore, yesterday:

 

@punchbag71 @bigadamsport no worries mate he is fine and back for Saturday

Jeremy Wilson : Southampton also resigned to missing out on Tasci + looking elsewhere for a centre-back. Gabbiadini close to complete

 

Gabbiadini will be an encouraging signing, and no doubt one that we need. However, the Centre Back situation is surely our most pressing need and if we fail to get one knowing since the summer that Fonte was probably leaving it is an embarrassing state of affairs.

Hypothetical question: right now' date=' if the option was taking Phil Jagielka as our centre back cover or just staying as we are, what would you do??[/quote']

 

Take him

Jaglielka alongside Stephens could help him. Won't happen though Koeman wouldn't entertain that .

Was it a shock when we signed Alderwerald or was he being linked during the day? I seem to remember being surprised when he signed.....

 

Hopefully they have someone lined up

 

He was linked for a few days before, Komean said it wasn't likely a few days before he actually signed.

Totally agree. We knew Fonte was disgruntled so had 6 months to look into replacements... Then we sell him & Virgil now being injured is pretty much leaving us down to bare-bones.

Absolute embarrassment if we don't bring in a CB. Could be the difference that wins us the cup. Expecting a public apology from Les if one doesn't come in.

 

Why would you expect that? What a bizarre expectation to have.

Surely Crystal Palace aren't signing both Tasci and Sakho?? They already have about 4/5 centre backs. Still hoping Sakho will come

 

Big Sam going all out defence to avoid relegation 6 CBs across the back...

Les is rolling the dice on Stephens and our yoof coming good

We of course will sign a decent CB

 

les reed is a man of his word and we constantly have 3+ players lined up for any eventuality

he also said that he would not even consider (let along agree) a bid for Fonte unless we had a replacement inbound

Embarrassing!!

No, he's not. We were targeting a centre half who got injured. Despite that hard luck we are, according to Jeremy Wilson, looking for someone else.

 

It looks like a big mistake to have let Fonte go without having a replacement in the bag, though.

Not an unreasonable request. I've often thought that after any game Saints lose the manager and players should go to the house of every fan that went to the game to apologise in person for their abject performance... and maybe do a bit of gardening while they are at it.

Les has a history of spin and white lies - see this thread http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?57741-Spin-Master-Reed#.WJDj5xCrwxo

 

Also nice avatar :) I should have slapped a copyright on my art work :lol:

Prepare to be disappointed.

he said this....

 

He certainly won’t leave on the basis that he can just go.

 

“We would not consider releasing him unless there was a decent transfer fee and secondly that we were in a position to replace him. If anybody comes along on the last day of the transfer window it’s not going to happen

Is it a request or your expectation. I would never expect that to happen.

In his mealy-mouthed defence, Les would claim that doesn't mean we'll bring a player in. It only means we'll be in a position to replace Fonte, namely we'll give ourselves enough time to find a replacement. Whether we do so and get a deal over the line is another matter.
