Pilchards Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 If you are keeping Hughes then surely it should be 70% his decision to get him in.
Toadhall Saint Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 If you are keeping Hughes then surely it should be 70% his decision to get him in. And if the sun is correct above it would seem MH is more inclined towards sisto
the saint in winchester Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 I expect Mark Hughes is more inclined toward Shaquiri than either Promes or Sisto.
SKD Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 I expect Mark Hughes is more inclined toward Shaquiri than either Promes or Sisto. We could do with and accommodate both. Looks like Shaquiri is off to Everton though
OldNick Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 we don't need any fancy dan players. Surely we have learnt our lesson. Lets get good solid footballers who care, rather that the Boufals of the world
Dellman Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 Stoke made some useless signings last summer (according to Butland) Was that the work of Hughes? If so, oh dear.
SuperSAINT Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 Stoke made some useless signings last summer (according to Butland) Was that the work of Hughes? If so, oh dear. Funny old world isn't it. Apparently loads of bad attitudes & they were left to 'get away with murder'. Exactly the opposite of what Hughes has seemingly done here. #Boufal.
Daft Kerplunk Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 We’d sogned a pre agreement where Promes would sign for us so unless the club weren’t being truthful, he should join very soon.
Toadhall Saint Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 Stoke made some useless signings last summer (according to Butland) Was that the work of Hughes? If so, oh dear. No that was the work of stoke - not Hughes on his own. After all he was in the hunt for at least a couple of our signings- just lost out in the end to us.
Toadhall Saint Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 We’d sogned a pre agreement where Promes would sign for us so unless the club weren’t being truthful, he should join very soon. Can you point me to where the club have said that? Only I’ve not seen it - thanks.
Matthew Le God Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 We’d sogned a pre agreement where Promes would sign for us so unless the club weren’t being truthful, he should join very soon. When did they ever publicly state that there was an agreement?
S-Clarke Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 Stoke made some useless signings last summer (according to Butland) Was that the work of Hughes? If so, oh dear. To be fair, I rated Zouma and Martins-Indi as good signings at the time. **** knows what happend to them.
farawaysaint Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 No that was the work of stoke - not Hughes on his own. After all he was in the hunt for at least a couple of our signings- just lost out in the end to us. Our amazing signings last summer?
Saint Albert Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 To be fair, I rated Zouma and Martins-Indi as good signings at the time. **** knows what happend to them. Zouma looked decent in the games I watched.

It’s their most consistent complaint about him.
Whitey Grandad Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 Stoke supporters blame Hughes for all of their dud signings. It’s their most consistent complaint about him.It depends on the club structure. In most cases the manager has his wish list and the chairman tries to accommodate them but he will also have his own ideas.
marc_saint Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 When did they ever publicly state that there was an agreement? I can't find anything either. Having a trawl through Twitter from back on 31st January and the following stood out.... Simon Peach - Saints really want Promes & keen to tie up deal in the summer if not now. Adam Blackmore - Southampton’s signing of Quincy Promes looks set to be delayed until the summer. Happy to pay fee, player happy to come, but Spartak Moscow can’t replace him in this window and are set to block the move for now. Saints hope to get agreement on a summer move.
tajjuk Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 Zouma looked decent in the games I watched. think yahoo rated Zouma in their worst 11 of the season.
Saint IQ Posted 9 May, 2018 Posted 9 May, 2018 Would happily take a dominate in the air centre back and Shaqiri off stoke.
Pilchards Posted 12 May, 2018 Posted 12 May, 2018 Any idea how Quincy is getting on since we failed to sign him in January?
Baird of the land Posted 12 May, 2018 Posted 12 May, 2018 Stoke made some useless signings last summer (according to Butland) Was that the work of Hughes? If so, oh dear. Hughes history of signings at stoke was pretty dire. Of the list from 5 years i’d Say only Allen, shaqiri &indi stood out. Our transfer record looks a lot better by and large over that period even including letting our last manager buy he’s favourite £20m Turkey. No desire to see Hughes suddenly have complete dominance over our transfer approach.
Pamplemousse Posted 12 May, 2018 Posted 12 May, 2018 I think they missed out on a number of players that came here instead.

Can't be any worse than Carillo, Pied, De Ridder, Mayuka, Tandari Lee, That quick Spanish striker who scored a goal past Barcelona, Osvaldo, Gaston......................... I'll stop.

I'll stop. He's had lots of equally bad & he's had nowhere near the same successful percentage of successful, let alone hyper successful as Saints have had.
Tom & Gerry Posted 12 May, 2018 Posted 12 May, 2018 He's had lots of equally bad & he's had nowhere near the same successful percentage of successful, let alone hyper successful as Saints have had. Didn't have the black box did he?
Baird of the land Posted 12 May, 2018 Posted 12 May, 2018 Didn't have the black box did he? That's my point. Despite some of the criticisms of our existing approach its been much more successful overall & if Hughes does come in it should be because he's willing to work within the structure rather than being handed complete control.
Pilchards Posted 31 May, 2018 Posted 31 May, 2018 Played tonight and looked good according to reports. Even scored a beauty.

Pilchards Posted 1 June, 2018 Posted 1 June, 2018 Russian transfer window open yet? No outgoings until the 1st of July.
Dusic Posted 1 June, 2018 Posted 1 June, 2018 Will be very suprised if we sign Promes. It will be too pricy for us.
Toon Saint Posted 1 June, 2018 Posted 1 June, 2018 The deal we supposedly had will get hijacked and he’ll end up at Everton. We all know it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Which I think we all knew at the time was club spiel, distributed to their favourite journos to try and appease the fans. I remember the chatter when we sold VVD. We wanted Mawson, Promes, Wallcott, Tosun to name but a few - those names were also linked to our favoured journos. The fact is that we ended up splurging £20m on someone not suited to us what so ever. Edited 1 June, 2018 by S-Clarke

The fact is that we ended up splurging £20m on someone not suited to us what so ever. If any sort of assured agreement to buy Promes existed, the club would have advertised it for the PR opportunity during an otherwise terrible transfer window (as Liverpool did with Naby Keita).

Matthew Le God Posted 1 June, 2018 Posted 1 June, 2018 Putting transfer rumours in the press that then don't happen doesn't give the club a meaningful PR boost. If anything it makes the situation worse as it ****es the fanbase off.
John B Posted 1 June, 2018 Posted 1 June, 2018 Which I think we all knew at the time was club spiel, distributed to their favourite journos to try and appease the fans. . I thought it was only fans in La La Land thought that most believed that CSKA Moscow did not want to sell as they had no replacement. It probably happens quite a lot clubs not wanting to sell their better players with having a suitable replacement but fans with no knowledge of the situation believe fake news

Dusic Posted 1 June, 2018 Posted 1 June, 2018 Staying up slightly masks just how absymally **** that January window was. I'm not convinced that the wee boy has ever had a good window at Saints, so very low faith about this one.

Ross Wilson was at the club when we signed... van Dijk Cedric Gabbiadini Lemina Hojbjerg Austin Romeu McCarthy Bednarek Sure the club have had some **** ups in that time as well, but the above list are all good signings.
