Transfer Rumours The 2015 Summer Transfer Window Thread

Sky get a lot of these wrong lately.

 

Perhaps they are wrong about Clyne

 

So, well and truly tapped up.

 

Bastard.

 

And a good one too. Would have liked to have got involved in that one, but guessing he has a soft spot for Everton after a loan spell there. ARE YOU WATCHING TOBY!?

 

Well not really. It's an ex-player telling him to do something with a club he still loves. I'm sure Tiss would do similar for us. Means nothing really.

 

Oh stop being so even handed LTL. Nobody will let me have my irrational moment.

 

I hate reasonableness.

 

On the whole I consider myself reasonable. But take today. I'm not feeling great, so that's making me down a bit, and then Saints players up and shove off, and I reserve the right to be pissed off about it. Just for a while, while the brain sorts out whether that ex-player moves from the loved category into:

1] gone, but respected/still liked a bit. e.g. Lambert
2] indifferent to, don't give a toss. e.g. Chambers
3] irrationally disliked for as long as I can keep it up. e.g. Twatbeard

Clyne is very quickly settling into No. 2. Slightly surprised at the speed as it hasn't even been announced yet. Got a feeling Morgan will go that way too. Strangely, if Jose left tomorrow he'd probably stay in the special loved category. Strange how you take to some players.

 

Yep. Clyne category 2 for me. Category 3 is reserved for people who have a surname starting with 'L' (no, not you Rickie, don't worry...)

 

That's a useful classification TSS, I shall henceforth attempt to grade all departures into one of those. Hopefully everyone else on the board will, so it becomes common shorthand, as in: "Yes, that Clyne, he turned into a right no. 2", and people will know exactly what you mean!

 

And Clyne said "You what mate? Can't understand a bloody word you're saying! Have you got a pint of spit in yer pie hole for any particular reason?".

 

OK, let's hope it doesn't remain a secret code between You, Me and perhaps LTL if he's still reading this.

EDIT: All we need now is a classification for incoming players, as they go from Who.? to Legend.! in one smart exchange of dosh.

 

If Jose was 24, he'd have been off already, probably to Liverpool. Sad to say, but let's admit it...

Way of the world - we have adjusted to it, and there are business processes and models for growth underway at Saints that, if successful, will help us claw some of that power to use to our own advantage (of course, we already do that with smaller teams, but we need to be doing it further up the chain, and working on retention).

 

Nope, not having it. Jose bought into the vision like no other player.

 

Argh it's been three days since we last signed a player, when's the next one?!

 

Anyway, he's not 24, and he's not off - that's what really matters!

 

I'd love him to be 24. Bet Fran would too, but for added reasons.

 

Shame we will have to replace him in a year or two.
