You're living in cuckoo land if you think we've any chance of either getting him You should apply for the job of Pellegrino's press conference advisor.

hypochondriac Posted 19 January, 2018 Share Posted 19 January, 2018 Duped, gullible, whatever you may call it, does not excuse the FACT that he came on and lied and trolled genuine fans who want some good news. Perhaps you can make a list of words that are codes for us in future to give us the heads up? I still think you and him are twins, very much in each others pockets, probably the same ip address as well.I'm sorry cb fry hurt your feelings. And for the record he's much more erudite than me and a brexit opponent so we can't be the same person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in making very little progress given our need to get in players who can make a material difference to our parlous league position as soon as possible.

Dusic Posted 19 January, 2018 Share Posted 19 January, 2018 Practical question: as we only really have Reed and Wilson who are senior enough full time employees to lead transfer negotiations, would we struggle to do two big deals at the same time? For example is Reed travelled to Monaco to work on Carrillo, woukd he be able to do much on another deal at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if he'll still be saying the same as the window starts to creak shut? He said something similar after the Watford game, if I remember correctly. I assumed at the time he was talking about Theo and Carrillo. The reason I’m allowing myself a forlorn hope on Promes is, I remember there have been statements made in the Telegraph about Saints signing a pacy winger. It’s the hope that kills you.

GGalpin Posted 19 January, 2018 Share Posted 19 January, 2018 https://www.sport-express.ru/football/rfpl/news/pryamo-seychas-promes-ne-uydet-v-sautgempton-i-vot-pochemu-1361076/ Translation: Today, the publication Sky Sports reported that the forward of "Spartacus" Quincy Promes is close to the transition to "Southampton" . According to the source, the deal will amount to at least 30 million pounds sterling. However, according to the "SE", this information is not true - at the moment, the management of red and white does not consider such an option to sell the 26-year-old Dutchman. With a high degree of probability, the forward will play all season-2017/18 with the Muscovites. Recall that in this championship of Russia Promes spent 17 matches, scoring 10 goals and making 6 assists. In addition, he played 5 meetings in the Champions League - 2 goals and 2 assists.

UpweySaint Posted 19 January, 2018 Share Posted 19 January, 2018 I know even De Ridder looked decent in a youtube compilation but between that, his stats and the few times I have seen him play I would be pretty excited if we managed to get Quincy on board. Still think we also need presence up top and and a top quality cb would make it a good window but the idea of Hoedt with Yoshida or Stephens doesn't particularly fill me with dread.

verlaine1979 Posted 19 January, 2018 Share Posted 19 January, 2018 Promes has a contract until 2021 and is apparently one of the top players in Russia.

Not really - Promes probably the pick of them, though I've always liked how Dzagoev plays. That said, everyone knows the PL is awash with money, so I doubt we're in a position to insist on bargains wherever we're trying to buy from.
