Maybe something has now been finalised by Saints. http://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/f...ding_fc_midfielder_set_to_join_southampton_fc As mentioned yesterday!
Just been informed by a reliable source he isn't coming as he can't run 100m without panting like a dying dog.
For a start it's a misleading article. Says he is 'on his way'. No deal has been confirmed. It was first mentioned by SaintOlly off 606 yesterday. DTLW took this and made it his article
Sorry guys, maybe in future we will leave things on the other forums so we don't all see it! We don't all use 606 anymore you know! Head of Reading Post says deal has been delayed by Saints, perhaps now pursuing other options, it's known we don't like our deals in the public press.
DTLW you still go on 606 I'm not moaning at you. I'm simply saying this story was first heard yesterday. I've also said how nothing is true until it is official on the OS. Most of our dealing are done privately which is what I like about the club now. No big publicity For all we know that Reading paper could be as 'reliable' as the Daily Echo
Really hope it's not deal over - Brain would bring a decent balance to CM with him being naturally left footed. Barnard and Puncheons deals were all in the press beforehand , and I don't believe Cortese is that touchy about it all.
Since those two which came early in his tenure, nobody has been broadcast as even a possible until the ink is dried. Though interested in most rumours I refuse to believe them until I have seen it on the OS.
Did you all miss Lambo robbing Pearce on Saturday, that was pretty swift, if you think Lambo cannot shift take a look at the third goal in the JPT final.
Well I'd just like to thank DTLW for posting this on here, as I don't go on 606 anymore. To those complaining about it - how boring (and pointless) would this forum be if we only posted news that had already appeared on the OS? If there is any place for transfer rumours to be discussed, this is it. And if you see any rumours, whether the source is considered reliable or not, why the hell not post the link on here? Anyway I hope this one happens. It would be a decent signing.
I dont think it's the fact that he posted it, more the manner in which he wrote "here's what I'm hearing this evening". It was as if he was ITK, and had some insider knowledge, when in fact he just read it on 606. Had he posted "this was on another forum for those who haven't seen it" or words to that affect it would have been better imo.
