Cropper Joins Saints
Friday, 31st Aug 2012 09:51

Former Blue Cody Cropper has signed a professional contract with Premier League Southampton after impressing while on trial.

The US U20 international keeper was released by the Blues at the end of last season and has spent most of the summer with the Saints.

With Richard Wright joining Manchester City yesterday, both the keepers Town let go at the end of 2011/12 are now with Premier League sides. Wright had been working with the Blues academy since the start of pre-season.

I can just tell that Sibley will say 'Transfer news in 10 minutes' and it'll be Cropper.

If that's true Phillips deal must be dead.

Just no. I really don't see this. Doesn't he normally play just behind the strikers? Not much space for that in our current formation.

Can really see this happening unless it's back up for Ramirez if it goes superbly tits up.

 

[Saints Fan4Life]

Can only see this if Ramirez is a no-go - We're not gunna sign Ramirez, Mayuka, Benayoun and Phillips (although that's pretty dead anyway)

 

[saintern]

sod defenders, play a 0-2-8 formation and see what happens.....

 

[- Doing The Lambert Walk]

Ramirez, Fontas and then maybe Benayoun on loan?

Benayoun just makes no sense not our age bracket i cant see it happening

 

[Pelletron]

Total f***ing head case too. Heard he went on a drugs bender with Jim "deadline day" white too. Drugs, glow sticks, doing the limbo whilst blaring out One Step Beyond on Jim's ghetto blaster, all in Jim's dressing room. Madness.[/QUOTE]

Haha, funny - if you did that on purpose. Or even if you didn't...

 

[Qwerty]

Ramirez, Fontas and then maybe Benayoun on loan?

Does the Fontas rumour still have legs?

#SaintsFC reportedly after #CFC's @YossiBenayoun15. Would be a superb addition. Experience could prove invaluable

He can play left and ring wing as well

@solentsport: #saintsfc have been in contact with Chelsea to enquire over the availability of their midfielder Yossi Benayoun


Why!!!!!!!!

Maaaayyyybbbeee. It's just not really being focussed on what with you know who coming in.

Why!!!!!!!!

Because he is class and available on loan and Chelsea are said to be prepared to pay up to 70% of his wages?

 

[pass the football]

He's a good player and won't get any game time at Chelsea. Would be slightly surprised to see this happen though.

Yeah cos we are desperate for players in those positions if we sign Ramirez!
