My mates mum who's cousins half brother knows a bloke who knows this chick who once worked in the caretaking department said that if we didn't sign anyone by 11pm tonight then we would make no signings till at least january.
Seeing as he only just signed the contract in July we must have hopes for him to not have released him. Hope he plays plenty.
Gordon Simpson of the Southern Daily Echo: "Understand that Toby Alderweireld and Sadio Mane both undergoing medicals with #saintsfc."
Saints signings are like buses it would seem, wait ages for one, 2 come at once (Fingers crossed!!). Just like Long & Gardos scenario.
Forster Alderwerield > Chambers Gardos > Lovren Bertrand > Shaw Tadic > Lallana Pelle > Lambert Mane Long Seems like we got like for like replacements.. Argued Better., And added strength in depth. Damn solid Transfer windonw, When you consider our Crisis.
Not necessarily bang on, but potentially: Forster Clyne Alderweireld Gardos Bertrand Wanyama Schneiderlin Mane Tadic Rodriguez Pelle Boruc, Fonte, Cork, Davis, JWP, Ramirez, Long VS Boruc Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw Wanyama Schneiderlin Davis Lallana Rodriguez Lambert Davis, Chambers, Yoshida, Cork, JWP, Ramirez, Guly/Gallagher I've purposely listed the benches, because I think that is a very important part of our transfer dealings: looking to improve the squad. (Obviously they'll be games where we don't play that attacking front four - one of Davis, Cork or JWP will start instead, especialy until Jay is fit. And certainly initially at least, you'd expect Fonte to keep him place due to being captain).
OK, this means no need for Townsend which removes any bargaining power Spurs have for Jay and/or Morgan. So, if that's all our business done I'm off to update my Pro Evo Saints.
Spurs signed a budget Schneiderlin in Stambouli. Should well and truly shut the door on that one for this window (not that it wasn't shut already).
