Pilchards Posted 6 August, 2010 Share Posted 6 August, 2010 Two have said to me today that Antonio has signed and is in the squad for Saturday and someone else has told me he was seen down the training ground today. Perhaps we will get it confirmed tonight I hope. PINCH OF SALT JOBBIES PLEASE....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsaint Posted 6 August, 2010 Share Posted 6 August, 2010 Was wondering if maybe we'd made a sneaky transfer before the deadline for tomorrow and are keeping it quiet until tonight. Would love it if it were Antonio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Posted 6 August, 2010 Share Posted 6 August, 2010 Pilchards did rickie, morgan and jason puncheon train yesterday and did they look like they would be playing? Also, are you sure about antonio or are you mucking around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 6 August, 2010 Share Posted 6 August, 2010 Pilchards did rickie, morgan and jason puncheon train yesterday and did they look like they would be playing? Schneiderlin and Puncheon definitely did. Pictures and videos of them in full training on the OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedArmy Posted 6 August, 2010 Share Posted 6 August, 2010 From the build-up thread "With a bit of luck there maybe a nice surprise on the bench tomorrow" Would rather him start if Punch can't play, but obviously I'd be delighted to have him at all.

Saint_clark Posted 6 August, 2010 Share Posted 6 August, 2010 Someone from here gave me a PM. Fair enough. Don't have long to wait to find out. Would absolutely love it to be true.

Pilchards Posted 6 August, 2010 Author Share Posted 6 August, 2010 I took that as meaning Lallana though, as he is our ITK lallana guy. There is no way Lallana will be playing any role this Saturday as he was in and out of the weight room and only joined in at the end of the training session as part of a youth vs defence setup.

itchen_dan Posted 6 August, 2010 Share Posted 6 August, 2010 I just feel that he is the missing link in our squad. I feel that if we do get him, we would be 99% complete in the transfer market. Please God Let This Be True!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that because she saw him girate his hips during his goal celebrations!? Bizzarely today I had to repeat the dance to show my g/f which player I was talking about...it wasn't pretty! Also, does anyone have any nicknames for antonio. We call him 'the coat hanger' as he has strangely broad shoulders, like a coat hanger on legs!

sussexsaint Posted 6 August, 2010 Share Posted 6 August, 2010 A work mate who is a Newcastle fan has adopted saints as his second team keeps asking me about 'that bloke who tore up the defence in the JPT' He is in his 50's and keeps on saying 'fark he was quick' I would LOVE to have him. Interesting stats on the OS. Don't think I'd fully taken in that all his appearances had been off the bench. I have to say I'd thought the 'bench player' on that thread would be Ricky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Man Do Posted 6 August, 2010 Share Posted 6 August, 2010 Strangely me and a friend used to call Dyer "Doctor Yam" we imagined he would say Yammmmmmmm as he ran along with his duck like waddle. As for Antonio ... No sorry :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 6 August, 2010 Share Posted 6 August, 2010 I'd be ecstatic if we can sign Antonio, he was excellent for us last season in some really important games. He's the type of player we're currently missing in the squad as well, somebody with the pace and power to beat his man. Reading were wanting close to £1m for him though, and i'd be surprised if they let him go for what we were offering (£500k), which is still crazy money for a young player untested above L1 whose contract expires at the end of the year.

Thats why, if it happens, I believe it will be a transfer deadline day deal. The longer Reading wait the less they will get for him from us or anyone else for that matter. Antonio can choose to walk at the end of the season and all they would get is one of these Development fees and we have seen with Ryan Dickson how little that turns out to be. Who will hold their nerve longer - Reading or Cortese ? Think I know which one my money is on. If we have offered 500k for a player unproven above League 1 then Reading are a little bit silly for not snapping our hand off IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickG Posted 6 August, 2010 Share Posted 6 August, 2010 stuck to twitter - which usually gives notice of announcement in next hour or something - nothing! giving up now. can't see they could have completed it before 12 and not announced it/leaked it.
