Similar to Parish Council Planning Notices, the COT do attach our meeting minutes to the lamp post every second quarter.

Oh, I thought it was in telephone boxes in London

oh my this thread is still a dull as always. Not quoite sure why it remains on the main board particularly when the key contributor doesnt even bother going to games.

It can't be a coincidence that @Turkishwas in Cancun the same time as Transferroom was hosting a session with over 30 leagues represented.

Hope the conference went well Turks - Did "you know who" tell about any progress on a certain number 9? 

Rest up, turn your phone off and try and enjoy a well earned break

I wish I could rest up, so much happening lol

i caught up with her unfortunately she said this one is a faded black tattoo at the moment 🥲🥲🥲🥲

however what I can say is that I was able to say this about another new signing that’s progressing nicely 

They keep doubting the flame, tossing the blame
Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
And they're ripping them down, stamping the ground
Picture gathers dust in the bar

the CoT is like Muhammad Ali, when he said he would knock someone down in the 4th round it happened, when the CoT says something it happens.

Can the CoT task one of their esteemed members to invent some Ali style rhymes to leak info rather than posting Stereophonics lyrics?

Ex Aberdeen youth player can only mean in the style of Muhammed ali.....

Bojan Miovski's here, joining the Saints' crew,
Southampton's got a star, ready to break through.
He'll float like a butterfly, sting like a bee,
On the pitch, he's the champ, just wait and see!

He’d be a good signing. I’m really liking the look of the ( new Stuart Armstrong, a Celtic comment ) Matt O'Riley.

Don't like Celtic thinking that they can charge Harrods prices though, not seen anything about o'Riley but I will review his YouTube highlights as to determine whether he's mustard or not.

Hes a former pro footballer, I know we are going for old players but this is a risk. Ohhh I see he played Liam in a film, so could be Delap , whilst he played Wee Man that was in the bag a fortnight ago so I doubt that was the clue

Martin Compston (born 8 May 1984) is a Scottish actor and former professional footballer. He played Anti-Corruption Unit Detective Inspector Steve Arnott in the BBC drama Line of Duty, Liam in Ken Loach's Sweet Sixteen, Paul Ferris in The Wee Man, Ewan Brodie in Monarch of the Glen^[1] and Dan Docherty in The Nest.

funny despite it being in the bag for weeks (supposedly) the CoT post about it on the very day the new breaks, just before it breaks, the deal done within 48 hours of my return from overseas. Funny how all these things have lined up at once. Must be just yet another coincidence.

But is it Delap or Fraser? so many options to choose from. Im glad the club waited for your return to post news, very respectful indeed. Sadly your foresight didnt include knowing we'd be in the playoff final xxx

The CoT only deal in FACTS, not speculation. Make of that what you will.

Wee Man. Hmm, could it be…

[USaintA]

I am not a Circle of Trust member, obviously, but I have been a Saints fan for over 40 years, and I can well remember the days when "The Trust" (as some of us used to call them) would drop transfer hints through their old subscription newsletter, "The Circle Jerk". A 16-24 page publication that would be published roughly once every two to three weeks.

I remember fondly when "The Trust" revealed the news way ahead of time that Kevin Keegan was signing for Saints. If I'm not mistaken, they were the first to reveal Ronnie Ekelund was going to sign from Barcelona, and they hit the nail on the head when they correctly predicted Marians Pahars was going to be joining from Skonto Riga.

My point is that we need to put our trust in "The Trust". They've never steered us wrong.

They did tease us with some other clues before this one though. Don’t you remember the picture of a headless chicken and another where someone is drinking a pint of Westwood’s piss, oh no wait that was a snap chat from the COT Xmas party, my bad….

[EBS1980]

All very quiet by the COT. Nothing about McCarthy or Taylor signing and nothing about possible Wood signing either..

indeed it has. The silence has been golden as far as i'm concerned. Whilst you're all floundering around desperate for every scrap of information the CoT are having a great time sharing info on our whatsapp group. too bad those who made up songs about us, abused us, mocked us in January ruined it for you all. Our biggest transfer window in years and you've got to rely on snippets from twitter because the old green eyed monster on some posters ruined it for everyone else.

good old @wildsaintone of the biggest nasayers on here, he absolutely isn't interested in anything that the CoT has to say or anything that's on this thread, yet was all over this thread within ten minutes of me posting on here. I suspect he's one that spends all day hitting refreshing hoping to an update just so he can say he's not interested. I bet he cries himself to sleep with a picture of his ex under his pillow whilst telling everyone who will listen he's moved on.

Shame you're not on the SoD's whatsapp, we have also been sharing information as have some very good connections. The best one is Scandiavian.............oh loose lips and all that

So CoT only good for 70 mins at best 😄

I See @tdmickey3 also reading and reaction to the thread despite announcing a while back on another thread he absolutely was not interested it what these bunch of attention seekers had to say and would leave us to it.
