Saints transfer rumour thread

My friend is an apprentice at Ferrari and he serviced Ramirez's Maserati and in the back seat were loads of tactics and positions scattered across the back seat along with his training kit

 

Gosh..! We're just so fashionable at the moment. I can't think what attracts these players suddenly. It almost makes me shed a tear that we're on the cusp of being a glamour club, instead of remaining a cult/has-been/no-name/small-fry [insert appropriate nomenclature] club.

Where's Lawrenson when you need him..?

 

You forgot ale-house brawlers TSS! Never mind Lawrenson, what about Shankly?

 

Don't suppose Astori was in the back seat as well?

 

phonetically - Darveed

 

Nope, only Matt Holland

 

I can pronounce it perfectly in Italian, only problem is you can not see my hands

 

Who cares...it's now Dave.

 

That's neither phonetic, nor correct!

Mr Nice's description on the last page is spot on.

 

"Darveed" is not phonetic as you've just ignored the e (as we do in English, but we do not speak a phonetic language as the Italians do). Mr. Nice is 100% correct, it's dah-vee-day with the emphasis on the first syllable.

 

He's correct, but you aren't, the last syllable is 'deh' not 'day'.

Not that it really matters as we've had this discussion before and concluded that nobody pronounces these things totally right anyway

 

You're absolutely right, I was jut trying to approximate to English for the people that are about to call him Dave!

 

My fear is that these proposed transfers are going to drag on until deadline day as the clubs argue about the size of the transfer fee in the same way that the Ramirez deal did
Italian based players are technically good and reasonably priced compared with home grown but dealing with Italian businessmen isn't easy and there are always the "additional" costs that they need to grease the wheels
We need new recruits NOW not at the end of January as it may be too late by then to save ourselves now injuries are hitting our paper thin squad.

 

Remember we have an Italian businessman as well.

 

Pretty sure the English players will call him Dave or Dav.

 

Just seen a tweet that Butland is at Staplewood having a medical...

 

I'll bite...really?

 

Apparently. I don't know the source though, probably just completely made up

If we sign Butland or any keeper, Adkins will have to put a spin on it or he'll look like he's not kept informed of anything.
