Unbelievable Jeff Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Bertrand is not off from what I've heard.
NickG Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Doesn’t surprise me, he’s been on the sidelines with no update for a suspiciously long time. Manager has said he has been back training for couple of weeks but still hasn't shown enough in spring training to feature. Whether this is ongoing injury, attitude to type of training, or wanting to leave I don't know.

SuperSAINT Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 This was the one I'd heard... If we're struggling to bid for a right back & Che Adams, I'll be amazed if we can get this one done.
Pilchards Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 If we're struggling to bid for a right back & Che Adams, I'll be amazed if we can get this one done. It’s a loan deal which is much easier.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 If we're struggling to bid for a right back & Che Adams, I'll be amazed if we can get this one done. Loan now, purchase Summer.
NI Saint Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Doesn’t surprise me, he’s been on the sidelines with no update for a suspiciously long time. That's not true as there was an update on him, Targett and Lemina on Twitter and the OS on Monday.
SuperSAINT Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Loan now, purchase Summer. Would be great if true.
Dusic Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Loan now, purchase Summer.Would be amazed if we committed to more summer spending now, given we already have Ings on that basis. Expecting no ins and no outs personally. If we don't want to loan out Gallagher and Austin doesn't go anywhere permanently then we would have six strikers already (Redmond, Ings, Long, Austin, Obafemi, Gallagher) so no room for another.

Just what I was told last night, and then RB Leipzig loaned a couple of players - of course may not be true but have no reason to not believe it, apart from Saints tending to be **** at this type of thing.

The list of strikers shows that selling before buying isn't just a funding issue, or about keeping within FFP rules. Six strikers looks adequate, even though they all offer something different. If Austin has gone, that would open up a space as well as freeing money to increase the bid for Adams.
Toadhall Saint Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Bertrand is not off from what I've heard. [emoji106]
Suhari Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 No flight tracking going on. No earlobe rumours. No players looking to rent Martin O'Neill's old pad. #boring
ally_uk Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 I heard we have put a cheeky bid in for Peter Crouch.....
Nolan Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 I heard we have put a cheeky bid in for Peter Crouch.....Its a bit late for him to detour from his Burnley medical, now.
notnowcato Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 That's not true as there was an update on him, Targett and Lemina on Twitter and the OS on Monday. yeah, yeah but you can prove anything with facts...ffs, please step a side there is a meltdown in progress... this place
DT Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 I heard we have put a cheeky bid in for Peter Crouch..... would like to see him back. offers something different, and would be good for dressing room.

It's analysis like this that gets you a professorship
mrfahaji Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 When you think about our two full backs, they really play as wingers. IMHO Taggart and Valery are not great wingers but Valery is improving for sure. Maybe we have no position for Bertrand anymore because of the way RH likes to set the team up? If Taggart did get injured then he would either use Johnson (massive gamble) or what he did when Valery went off but to the left flank instead. Of course Valery can and probably will improve, but he is still pretty terrible going forwards. Looks like he has no idea what to do with the ball when he gets it. Don't think Gerry Taggart is the answer on the wing, he was always a centre back and is now 48.
the saint in winchester Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Austin has left. Don’t crucify me but the talk is of a rumour Berty is off tomorrow. Just passing on what has been said. We wouldn't. You are a genuine ITK. Not good news, unless you are Matt Targett and his family. Seems Targett is now deemed as the #1.
SuperSAINT Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 SSN: Peter Crouch is en-route to Burnley for a medical with Sam Vokes on his way to Stoke with a view to a permanent signing, report Sky sources.
doddisalegend Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 I was quite happy for us to have a clear out in the squad (plenty of dross in the squad) but I figured it was to free up cash/ wages to strengthen the squad this window. Last night showed that all though we've improved, under Ralph, we still have a lot to do. Our bench looked particularly weak last night. Unless we pull something out the bag today it seems odd we've not made more of this transfer window. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
saints-cris Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Smith-Rowe of Arsenal has gone on loan to RB Leipzig. Straw clutching perhaps, but maybe that free's Augustin up..
Bewildered Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 RH is doing his press conference for the Burnley game in 20 mins, maybe he will tell us if it's worth following deadline day or if we can skip straight to going nuclear.
SuperSAINT Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Vokes medical at Stoke. Sam Vokes is on his way for a medical at Stoke City before completing a £10m permanent move to the Potteries with Peter Crouch going the other way. Crouch is expected to arrive at Burnley later this morning for his medical. The deal thought to be around £10m in total. Vokes cost Burnley around £300,000 in 2012.
Avenue_Saint Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Austin has left. Don’t crucify me but the talk is of a rumour Berty is off tomorrow. Just passing on what has been said. Lol still chatting ****e?
Lighthouse Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 We wouldn't. You are a genuine ITK. Not good news, unless you are Matt Targett and his family. Seems Targett is now deemed as the #1. He did say Hughes wasn't going anywhere, a week before he was sacked. He might know something but I'm not taking it as Gospel.

tajjuk Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Can't see Bertrand going, not the way he has tweeted about Ralf, unless some silly opportunity came up. The Leipzig guy would be good, wonder if we could get him and the RB in on loan with a view to buy in the summer, presumably with more PL money in and getting rid of some of the loaned out players.
Micky Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 No flight tracking going on. No earlobe rumours. No players looking to rent Martin O'Neill's old pad. #boring Maybe not but it's ****ing uncomfortable sitting in this tree all day, and I can't see sh@g shyte anyway...!
SuperSAINT Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 @alex_crook: #saintsfc manager Ralph Hasenhuttl on his #DeadlineDay hopes 'On the last day there are always a few options that pop up and a chance for us to get an interesting player. We are still busy working on a few things.' @talkSPORT
Saint Garrett Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 RH: "Our business is not done. I won't speak about specific names; this is a day for possibilities and if the right opportunity arises you must grab it." #saintsfc Sounds like we'll be bringing one in at least....
mrfahaji Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Hang on, is our manager talking about interesting possibilities...?
Saint Garrett Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Augustin loan? Seems to be the one we want...
Nolan Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Hang on, is our manager talking about interesting possibilities...?"a few" was mentioned.
Trout-Tickler Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Pretty sure that RH said Austin won't be going unless we sign a replacement.
tajjuk Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 After watching the Sunderland documentary, deals on deadline day are always a possibility, seems with the pressure of a deadline, players/agents/clubs etc. become more willing to make a decision than they do a few weeks before.
saints-cris Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 I suspect alot of hinged on Austin leaving. Once he does, I reckon Augustin. That and a RB and I'll be very happy.

Sounds like we'll be bringing one in at least.... As teases go, that's decent.
DT Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 I predict we'll get the right back from Olympiakos and perhaps loan an attacking player. I'd still love to get Maehle and Skov but doubt it can happen now. Hope he’s not as bang average as he sounds Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have you seen the Sheff Utd one from a few years ago... That was brilliant.
tajjuk Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Have you seen the Sheff Utd one from a few years ago... That was brilliant. No, the Sunderland one is very good as well, really give you an insight behind the scenes and makes you feel for the people involved in all aspects of the clubs, as generally they are all trying their best even if it is not going well and cop a lot of abuse for it.
Nordic Saint Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 I see Gao has flown in from China. SFC is his main business now that he has sold off most of his shares in Lander Sports. Is he going to demand bigger profits from the transfer windows or sanction investment in strengthening the squad to avoid relegation? Of course, it would be great if it were the latter and we bought Che Adams and Joakim Maehle but my guess is that his main emphasis will be on making a profit in the transfer market and limiting any spending to almost nothing.

It's excellent. Except for the opening credits/song at the start, which is utter gash
tajjuk Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 agreed. It's excellent. Except for the opening credits/song at the start, which is utter gash yeh agreed, luckily that skip intro button is there.
spyinthesky Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 yeh agreed, luckily that skip intro button is there. I liked it even though it is not my usual taste in music. The documentary was fascinating and made me feel very sorry for the Sunderland fans even though some were a bit odd The guy with the bejewelled beard was interesting
