thorpie the sinner Posted 12 May, 2010 Share Posted 12 May, 2010 Now that the meeting that never was has now not taken place, just wonder if the signing of Calderon may be announced? Nice to start summer on positive note Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 12 May, 2010 Share Posted 12 May, 2010 Probably what was hinted at in the Programme on Saturday and unlike Leeds trumpeting the arrival of Lee Barnard to them from Southend in the Jan window in their programme, rather than show un Swiss inefficient naivety the club decided to pull the programme to save face.

John Boy Saint Posted 12 May, 2010 Share Posted 12 May, 2010 People on here have read the programme. It says nothing unusual. But the reason for reading the programme was to look for something blatantly contentious which everyone one was looking for as a conspiracy. If the signing of this chap was mentioned, because it seems to be a badly kept secret most folks would skim over reading of it thinking it was general knowledge.

Matthew Le God Posted 12 May, 2010 Share Posted 12 May, 2010 (edited) I dont see anywhere in that Sky article that suggests we have even spoken to him yet. What about the first sentance? Inigo Calderon insists he never turned down a new contract at Brighton & Hove Albion after agreeing to move to Southampton. Admittedly the rest of the article does contradict this opening line, but they are older quotes from a few days ago so maybe the deal has been done. But then...Sky messed up the Ward deal and announced it as being complete. Edited 12 May, 2010 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then...Sky messed up the Ward deal and announce it as being complete. In fact the BBC article on the same subject is far more lucid. Brighton made him an offer (which in theory he agreed to) but the player then chose to wait for Saints who Brighton cannot compete with. Apparently he missed their last 3 matches with a hip injury and Poyet is peeved because they took a chance on an injured player who then chose to wait for us.

In this report echo states players we are looking at have been told deals on backburner till manager situation sorted AS IF even if they had been looking at it they would say fook all sheesh .... what utter utter clap trap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
