Wherever they've got the medical info from, there would always be a few hours set aside for pictures & interviews etc. so don't see how anything can be imminent. Unless Saints imminent is the same as a scouse 24 hours.
Ffs, I saw the name in my alerts and got excited thinking it must be done as only a fool would change his name before its announced Hope you didn't it tattoo'd as well. Deal would be sure to fall through then
I never know who these people are when they change their names....it's like getting a whole new friend. Who turn out to be as daft as the old ones
When my daughter was 15 (in 2002) I bought her her first mobile phone. She had a friend called Wesley in Holland. In the first month she called him every night whilst I was asleep. The first bill came in. 650 pounds. She never got another phone and I have a great suspicion of anyone called Wesley!
As much as we deny it, hoedt coming in surely means vvd is off. Everything I have seen and heard of hoedt so far is extremely promising though. If he can come in straight away, I'd be tempted to pair him with Stephens and drop yoshida to third choice again.
If VVD goes, it still leaves us with only 3 CB's. Gardos doesn't count as he hasn't played a PL match for God knows how long. I would expect to see Hoedt and Van Dijk to form a partnership from September onwards. Edit: Forgot about Bednarek. But he is still very raw so my point still stands.
No one is going to put enough money on the table to make our board go back on what they have stated. He may not like it, but he's staying.
I think you are right, though new owners give SFC an excuse for the mind change. They made us do it, lads and ladesses. Of course that would put Gao in the position of being instantly disliked by the fan base....and could make Les walk. So, as we were.
We are suddenly hip deep in CBs You could even include Bertie in there if you fancy. He's been part of a very good back 3 before.
Ultimately he is VVDs replacement, but the club are unlikely to back down this window. If VD continues to sulk, then I expect us to sell in January with a point proven. If he plays then we might hold out till next summer
