If a deal has been done, it wouldn't be activated until Jan 1st anyway as we are outside the window. Knowing Nicola, if it has been done they won't saying anything until then.
see! I told you they wouldn't announce anything till january....... last time I invite nicola over for a bowl of pasta.
So for once the twitter talk was true! Great signing, I bet he'll play a blinder on Saturday, maybe even another goal.
Fantastic news http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/9396804.Hooiveld_signs_permanent_Saints_deal/ Thoughts......
You have to hand it to Cortese he gets the deal done with the minimum of fuss and most importantly away from the press!
It's on the OS now: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2533828,00.html The deal's been completed now as Jos is already registered with the club as he was on loan. Good news.
Happy with this, still think we'll need another CB though. Hopefully it's around the £1million, don't really want to be paying more.
he can sign (or sign he he) as he is already registered with the club... Anyway Chilco.... its club standard practise that the new player sings at the first away game,..... Cork had to do it again when he signed....... where are the ear plugs.....
I think it's only on loan players from a different country that you can sign outside of the window. That said, even that I too wasn't aware of until now.
