Transfer Window Clichés

[NISaint]

More specifically this transfer window but transfer windows in general.

"...the best defender to pull on a Saints shirt for many years"

"Please sign Toby!"

"Clasie and Vilhena and I'll be happy"

The one I really hate is: ''it's a done deal''....especially when said months before the transfer windows open. It rarely is!

 

[St.Jerome]

"It's my dream to be playing for [**** team other than Saints]..."

 

[ChilcoSaint]

"A black Range Rover with black windows has been seen pulling up at a New Forest hotel..."

 

[Osvaldorama]

"Sky sources suggest that..."

And then the following story is a complete fabrication

 

[Channonfodder]

I love the fact that players, after signing for a club, are carried to their new training ground by a large bird of prey.
This is confirmed by headlines such as "Rogers swoops for Clyne"

Or they are hijacked. Happily driving to Staplewood in their posh cars, they are held up by Liverpool highwaymen. I blame having the New Forest so close.

 

[Whiteley Saint]

I want to play Champions League

Translation: I want loads more money *stamps foot*

 

[Clem Fandango]

"I don't mind if he wants to leave, as long as he doesn't go to Spurs/Liverpool".

 

[greensaint]

"He'll never sign for Southampton".

 

[hotbovril]

"Why the **** would he want to sign for (x)?"

 

[ChilcoSaint]

"I've just seen [insert name] at Southampton Airport!"

 

[Saintsfan08]

Swap deals are always touted in the media yet seem to never happen outside Football Manager. Gallas for Cole and Davies for Vorm are the only ones I can remember actually coming off.

 

[Dell Boy]

'My next door neighbours sisters friends brother has told me that'

 

[Onionman]

"Someone ITK on Saintsweb has said..."

His hairdresser has told me....

 

[San Tejón]

Why does the transfer window always "Slam shut"?
You would think, with it closing so late at night, it would be closed very, very quietly.

Very nice humour which caught me unaware, hence I chuckled all the harder.

Well their manager is a Dick, not sure he is a Turpin though.
