Saint Charlie

Source? It seemed he had a medical on Friday if the reports on here were true. Adkins hinted that another signing is very close when talking on Saints Player about De Ridder. From what Ive read about this guy he looks good.

For the last time: the article isn't as a result of this thread. It is as normal - it was on Saints Player on Saturday, and then is transcribed for the OS on Monday. Pretty much every single quote you read on the OS has uploaded on Saints Player previously. It would have been posted this morning regardless of what appeared on Saint Web!

NA was very positive when asked about it in the De Ridder SP interview. Said might be very, very soon once all the paperwork is done.

I think we can do better. Has been a good player but not done much for a while.

Is he really worth 2m? Hasn't shone anywhere for a fair while.

That account always tweets stuff like that. Likely no substance to it!

NA was very positive about someone else signing very very soon if you listen to his Saints Player article on De Ridder. Smiled and said would be announced once its all signed and completed. Jemal has every right to consider what he wants to do, its a big move for him but he sounds exactly what we need so lets hope it gets completed!

He wouldn't take a one year deal. I agree that in an ideal world we would bring in a striker, Im sure NA and everyone will make the right call. The subs rule change doesn't help, if we buy someone then we will have two of our existing strikers sat in the stand most likely.

Miller and Yakubu might be cheap in terms of fee but not wages. Both players whose best days are long gone.

Looks tough for someone like Forte to get a look in.

He also seems to have better English than any English footballer on Twitter.

Weaker Saints team for this match, should be a good test.

Adkins on Saints Player strongly hinted there would be another signing very soon so hopefully this guy. Might be there watching today!

He plays left midfield whi h is where our best player happens to play.

Just prevents players like Stephens and Ward Prowse making the bench. Also means players like either Richardson or Butterfield, Dickson or Harding will struggle to make the bench!

Reduced from 7. Surely that doesn't really suit us. Also means versatile players are vital, ie a defender who plays Full back as well as centre back, or a striker who can also play out wide. Strange decision really.

I think that is an inference from the translated article. It does sound a plausible deal though, seems a good player.

Linked with Stoke, Zenit, Fulham recently. If he did sign I imagine he would be away with Tunisia fairly regularly.

Good news - a player who really gives 100%.

Deserved fine, shows the other players that rules are rules and won't be broken for anyone.

Academy player, tall centre midfielder.

OS spelling Stephens wrong is poor!

Its a football shirt, its quite nice, surely not that much of a big deal?

Nice shirt - now lets sign some players.

If he is going then lets just get the best deal possible, do it well before the Leeds game and sign a quality replacement. Holmes and Forte will not do. Chamberlain leaving would take all the pace out of our starting lineup.
