Olddellboy and brendy you are spot on, yet another signing that no one had heard about until he was pretty much holding up the shirt. I almost feel like this "rumour mill" thread should be closed.
 
in fairness to the other posters, the title of this one is a bit vague "another foreign rumour" if it had inclided his name them maybe people would not have started so many

The issue for me wasn't starting a thread on De Ridder (in fact, now that he's signed I've got absoloutely no problems with there being a De Ridder thread on here now. Perfectly acceptable). The issue was starting a thread on another rumour - the exact words used in title. We already have a thread to put rumours on. There is already a slightly excessive amount of threads on here, without adding more which could easily be incorporated within already-created ones.

Apologies about this I only joined yesterday, well noted for fututre reference!

No worries. Welcome to not606. (I'm only pointing it out because it was a massive bug-bearer of mine on the old 606. At any one time we could easily have 5+ similar threads on there, all of which could have been put together really in just the one).
 
The problem is, if 2 or 3 people notice the news on the OS at the same time, they will most probably all go and start a thread on that subject at the same time as well, especially if it's really good (or bad) news. That's obviously what's happened with the De Ridder threads.

The difference from 606 is that the Mods can merge threads here, which I trust they will shortly.
 
I'll be honest and say when NC first came in I had my doubts about him. But not anymore, he has more than earned not just mine, but everybody's trust over the past 18 months.

THANK YOU NICOLA AND NOT FORGETTING MARKUS FOR BRINGING HIM HERE.

COYR!

Actually guys we will keep the numbers down if we can. If you guys could Pm us if something like that happens it would help and we do do our best to keep the threads to single ones. We do have time off though so a pm would at least alert us to the problem.
Cheers

Am looking to see what I can do!!
 
thats actually a good point.

when we the last time that someone that was rumoured to sign actually went through with it since NA came into the building?

Well, don't forget about Jack Cork. But I do agree - these rumours are dumb but fun. Nothing more.
 
How about I randomly pick a footballer from football manager and link him with Saints, this would be a rumour mill of similar success rate :-)!
 
Southampton will sign New Zealander Giles Frobisher on a free transfer from Olympic (NZ) and will also complete the signing of Stephen Darby from Liverpool!!

I just did the same thing and got Duisburg attacking midfielder Burakcan Kunt. I can definitely see this happening, with an amazing name like that.
 
Dan - definitely you should go down to the Saints shop and get your name on a shirt now. SAINTDON13 - I'm afraid my New Zealand scouts are not up to scratch I will have to get a new one. I am busy working on a deal for Lewin Nyatanga who is always great on football games, however I have never seen him play!
