itchen_dan Posted 22 November, 2010 Share Posted 22 November, 2010 Anyone seen this? He talks about possible signings, either loan or permanent, and gives a few examples eg "do we loan a player from championship with view to sign or do we go for a young premier league player. If we go for a young premier league player then that blocks the pathway for our own youngsters to step up." He then says "Or do we go for a leading light from League 2" and finishes this with a laugh and a broad smile on his face. Could this be Le Fondre or that guy from Torquay?

Badger Posted 22 November, 2010 Share Posted 22 November, 2010 I don't think we will get a loan, it sounded to me like he was saying we want to take our time and get the right player in January, not 'any old player for the sake of it' on loan. Could be wrong. Either way, in Nigel we trust!!!!!!!!!! Always like his Saints Player interviews. He sounds happy, cheerful and enthusiastic. Sounds like he gets on well with NC too...

Wildgoose Posted 22 November, 2010 Share Posted 22 November, 2010 I've seen it. He aways appears very positive and upbeat about everything. I like him. Think he'll definitely bring players in when he decides he needs to...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexstar Posted 22 November, 2010 Share Posted 22 November, 2010 I very much like that we will not bring anyone in that isn't here to stay (great example being Chaplow), unlike several teams in this league which seem to be built on loans (carlisle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 22 November, 2010 Share Posted 22 November, 2010 (edited) He then says "Or do we go for a leading light from League 2" and finishes this with a laugh and a broad smile on his face. Could this be Le Fondre or that guy from Torquay? Not really many players in League Two who could do a job in the Championship if Saints go up, so I think it is a subtle hint to Adam Le Fondre. Nigel Adkins has commented on him in the past. He is quite a handful!... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD1bREp1JPg Edited 22 November, 2010 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appy Posted 22 November, 2010 Share Posted 22 November, 2010 Le Fondre would be an excellent signing i think but his price tag is too high for a league 2 player. I think Woolford from S****horpe is another decent option that looks plausible. Can't beleive Sproule went to Yeovil ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer we went for leading light from League 1 personally, even though Peterborough were sh*te i liked the look of Mackail-Smith on saturday, looked a handful and got a few goals this season.

Saint in Paradise Posted 22 November, 2010 Share Posted 22 November, 2010 Seems to me that a lot of his goals were scored because of slack defending. Defenders in the Championship are much better than those in that link. I think that he would struggle and isn't worth signing. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 22 November, 2010 Share Posted 22 November, 2010 Sounded to me quite likely that he will be bringing someone Into the Building this week, and I would guess it is someone from L2. As long as it is not Elvis I will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think McLean did too badly either - with better players around him he could be a handful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMike Posted 22 November, 2010 Share Posted 22 November, 2010 i hope we look at the young lad from Notts C. Cant remember his name but all their decent stuff came via him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza82 Posted 22 November, 2010 Share Posted 22 November, 2010 i hope we look at the young lad from Notts C. Cant remember his name but all their decent stuff came via him Ben Davies? He is good but he is also 29 not young but could do a job for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowllyd Posted 22 November, 2010 Share Posted 22 November, 2010 Whose agent, Le Fondre's or Dalek's? If you are Dalek's agent, I think you need to pull your socks up. He's in danger of getting typecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faz Posted 22 November, 2010 Share Posted 22 November, 2010 If you are Dalek's agent, I think you need to pull your socks up. He's in danger of getting typecast. That's not the Agent's fault - more the limited talent of his client. If you can only deliver one line, then the options are severely restricted.

MarkSFC Posted 22 November, 2010 Share Posted 22 November, 2010 Sounds like there may be at least two or three quality additions come the end of Jan then. Be great to see a striker in on loan this week and if we have targeted LeFondrr and can get him early that would be very good. Would be great to see another CB and Midfielder too.

Thedelldays Posted 22 November, 2010 Share Posted 22 November, 2010 I think we will get another striker......maybe a CCC loanee and a wide player and (i hope) sign chappers for real... we are pretty well stocked else where to mount a challenge for the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWD Posted 23 November, 2010 Share Posted 23 November, 2010 Jordan Rhodes would be good, or Madine from Carlisle. Either of Mickail-Smith or Mclean as well, both good goalscorers. Oh and BWP is the league's top scorer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 23 November, 2010 Share Posted 23 November, 2010 I think the smile and laugh were more to do with a running joke between him and the interviewer - he never gives a straight answer with regards to transfers, despite questions being rephrased time after time.
