January sales

[Chez]

Very quiet on the selling front. I guess I was being over optimistic that Saga would be snapped up the day the window opened. However, I'm surprised the Gillett deal has not aready been done.

 

Anyone heard anything about players leaving as this will have a bearing on who we bring in if we are keeping to a budget?

When I spoke to someone yesterday (as I have said on another thread) he told me Pardew was very keen on bringing Chris Lines and Elliott Ward in. He told me there had been no interest shown for Lallana at this stage and was unaware of any movements away from Saints. But it was 2nd January so a long way to go.

the Gillett loan deal was extended as it ended on 12th December so I imagine that will run out on 12 Jan. Maybe an announcement will be made on the 12th.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Jan 1 was a Bank Holiday and Jan2/3 are the weekend. Have you looked to see how many transfers have actually been completed? A few loan extensions and a couple of free transfers (players out of contract), thats it. Business starts again tomorrow, but usually these things don't gather pace until the middle of the month, players and teams looking for the best offer and playing a bit of brinksmanship. A few players will go, Saga for sure, but we won't get any/much for any of them, thay are being unloaded.
