January 18 transfer window

[CB Fry]

Have we bought anyone yet?

Why do we always leave it so late?

[choccyboxkid]

one deal has been agreed awhile now,player and his family were at Huddersfield game both sides are happy it's sorted.I'm not giving out his name it'll be announced this week.

Oh and we can expect a couple more,our new owner was absolutely furious after the 4-1 Leicester debacle,

Thanks for the info! Arsenal didn’t have a game that day, did they? (They played the previous evening).

Only Liverpool & Arsenal didn't play on the Saturday we played Huddersfield. There were 3 non 3pm kick-offs, Everton v Chelsea was the lunch time game, Burnley v Spurs at 5pm ish and Leicester v Man Utd was the evening game.

[suewhistle]

Wasn't anybody on earlobe watch in the directors box or did they sneak them into the family centre?

[danjosaint]

If it were Theo then he wouldn't have been in arsenal squad against West Brom

[Saint Albert]

If I remember correctly from the reports earlier this week, it was a French deal that was supposed to be almost done.

 

I can see the Theo deal dragging if City go after Sanchez to replace Jesus / de Bruyn and Wenger frets about not having enough benchwarmers.

Schurrle?

[niceandfriendly]

Theo is interested, but any potential deal is a long way off. Annoying though, cause if he signs I'll have to change my forum role from occasional troll to ITK which just isn't as fun.

Is the deal a long way off based on wages, fee, or whether it’s perm or loan... or a mix of all?

Wages and fee.

Wages and fee.

 

Won’t happen then. Move on

The Telegraph suggests we’re considering making a move for Christian Benteke.

When we sell players it seems mostly active, busy, fast, hurried, quick, rapid

 

However when we are signing players it seems apathetic, crawling, creeping, dawdling, delaying, deliberate, dilatory, disinclined, dreamy, drowsy, gradual, heavy, idle, imperceptible, inactive, indolent, inert, lackadaisical, laggard, lagging, leaden, leisurely, lethargic, listless, loitering, moderate, negligent, passive, phlegmatic, plodding, ponderous, postponing, procrastinating, quiet, reluctant, remiss, slack, sleepy, slothful, slow-moving, sluggish, snaillike, stagnant, supine, tardy, torpid, tortoiselike

[DT]

They’re just going to bank the VVD cash, aren’t they?

Here's the obligatory two minute video which shows he is definitely the perfect signing.

 

 

On a serious note, he turned down a move to Brighton on deadline day who have a decent scouting network themselves. Angers have had a few forwards who have ended up in England; Jonathan Kodjia, Famara Diedhou and a certain Sofiane Boufal (via Lille) for starters.

[macca155]

Ballotelli has scorrd 16 goals in 21 games. There was a reason City bought him. Loon yes but also fab player.

 

I love players who are a bit mental, adds to the spectacle.

 

Won't happen of course but imagine a team with Sturridge Walcott Ballotelli and Boufel creating havoc.... in every sense.

 

A bit of character in the current Saints team wouldn't go amiss.

 

Prepare for unknown 'good value' players. Just more of the same sadly.

You been raiding my posts data bank again?

[Pilchards]

I’m beginning to think that Theo is not coming here after all.

Yes we want him on loan but why would Arsenal get rid of him for no price?

30m with no return? I don’t think so as it’s never been the Saints way.

 

I can see us getting Sturridge on loan as part of the VVD deal which I suppose is better than Austin and Long.

This French striker called Plea looks a good option and probably the type of player we would sign.

Interesting if the owner was furious. Wonder if this was directed at anyone in particular, or just general annoyance at the performance.

[emoji1] Not really much info, as a matter of fact it's quite open ended, as it could really be referring to anyone. It's a well known fact that we are after some players, and with this kind of statement it can be attributed to anyone, with a punchline "I told you so!"

Can I take this opportunity to recommend Winchester to your client...or client of your client.

Good schools, would say expensive housing, but on a footballer's wage, they won't be an issue.

(Note to self: research: does Theo have 2 kids?)

Oh dear, another so-called ‘ITK’ who has a dreadful sense of entitlement on this forum.

 

Until what you’ve posted can be proven true (or false), it’s pretty reasonable for people to be skeptical.

[BARCELONASAINT]

I really wouldn't take it personally. Most on hear are grateful for snippets and quietly make up their own minds about what to believe and what not to. Some just can't help themselves having a dig at someone else. Don't let them put you of posting. I think the bit you have mentioned about said player having 2 kids will be defining!

Hobbit’s post was pretty reasonable I thought.

[angelman]

Same old, same old. Someone who doesn't post a lot, posts some info (however cryptic) and (s)he gets a lot of shît thrown at them. Me, I like these teasers, and don't care if they don't say a huge amount of detail nor if they don't come true (so long as it isn't like Jack Schitt who took the ****). I can only think that some are so insecure because they are not ITK that when someone is (potentially) ITK they have to be obtuse towards them in some sort of "I'm a better supporter than you and you are just talking ****".

Being skeptical isn’t being abusive.

 

K Billy, Guan, LeG never get people questioning things. Why? Because they are reliable.

 

If someone posts something then how can we know it can be trusted? Hobbit didn’t say it wasn’t true, simply that it was quite vague and open ended.

 

Being trusted is earned. Until then, it’s perfectly acceptable to be skeptical of unconfirmed information on the internet. If you want to blindly believe it then that’s your choice.

Has 2 kids but not old enough to be at school.

It wasn't vague at all.

 

Was at Huddersfield game.

Will be announced this week.

 

Apart from the name, he's been pretty open. I know the name is the most important aspect of the whole thing, but clearly people may need to protect their sources.

Since he was at the Huddersfield game he would have been seen by hundreds of people, so hardly protecting a source if a player has been in a very public place.

Okay so who is he then? Since it was so public then surely you must know.

 

Or maybe it's someone who is not high profile that wouldn't be instantly recognisable and could be kept under the radar. Frankly, if it was Walcott then I'm sure it woiuld have been all over the press.

[Delmary]

It’ll be a player from the continent, where there is currently a winter break.

[Micky]

They don't get at all jealous, really the don't. All they are saying is that what has been posted is of very little interest or relevance really, perhaps best kept to yourself if you are not willing to add some clarity.

 

FWIW I didn't reply to the original poster as I could see there would be little point, but there is no way that I can see myself or anybody else getting jealous for any reason whatsoever.
