SuperSAINT Posted 27 January, 2011 Share Posted 27 January, 2011 After all this, I find myself actually suprised it's true. Can't see him choosing us (rare for footballer's to see potential, they want the here and now) but would be a great signing. CMS is very likely our 2nd choice.

buctootim Posted 27 January, 2011 Share Posted 27 January, 2011 Arguably, given Ipswich's position, he has as much chance of championship football with Saints next year as he does with Ipswich. The odds on them going down wont be much different to Saints going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchen_dan Posted 27 January, 2011 Share Posted 27 January, 2011 I would be pretty amazed if he chose us over a couple of the others. He would have to be absolutly certain that we were going to get promoted this season IMO and there is no gaurentee of that. A sensible decission would probably land him in the championship rather than Blackpool or us. But never know and until he has spoken to any of the clubs anything could happen I suppose. Exactly. Out of the four teams interested, i think that we would be able to offer him the best financial package and as what others have said, our location is in our favour. you never know.

Jimmy_D Posted 27 January, 2011 Share Posted 27 January, 2011 I guess we were interested in him after all then. We might just about have a small chance if he wants to stay in the South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal is 1.85m. Carlito is at st marys this morning. why would he go to blackpool?they will drop into oblivion next year whereas us billionaires are on the journey bus up. Good luck staying up,i actually dont mind swindon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suhari Posted 27 January, 2011 Share Posted 27 January, 2011 NC: Charlie my boy. Your contract is the best in league one and if you fire us to promotion you'll get paid a massive bonus. If you want to move on you can do so in the summer. CA: Give me a go on Fonte's missus and you've got a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the four teams interested, i think that we would be able to offer him the best financial package and as what others have said, our location is in our favour. you never know. I think we might be able to offer a better finacial package but that doesnt mean we will. Ive no doubt our players are well payed but I do doubt they are paid more because we can afford it. Although spending more money on the development side, buildings and staff, the model IMO is to be as self financing as possible so we will be tring to keep within fair limits to our turn over for wages. There may well be some decent bonus's attached for promotion and may even be things written in for pay rises if we are playing championship footy next year but our wages offer right now would probably be less than many championship clubs offers right now IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 27 January, 2011 Share Posted 27 January, 2011 (edited) I look forward to an apology from all concerned when this eventually comes to fruition. Why? You said on the 4th January 2011 that Saints had agreed a deal with Swindon. I've got a contact with someone fairly high up on the Swindon board and I have been reliably informed we have had a bid accepted for Charlie Austin. Don't have any further details or how much the fee is etc. On 25th January 2011 Danny Wilson said no deal had been accepted from any club, but Blackpool were getting close. Seems to me you took a punt at a likely transfer target and are now trying to claim credit should it go ahead.

Kaiser Soze Posted 27 January, 2011 Author Share Posted 27 January, 2011 Why? You said on the 4th January that Saints had agreed a deal with Swindon. A few days ago Danny Wilson said no deal had been accepted from any club, but Blackpool were getting close. Seems to me you took a punt at a likely transfer target and are now trying to claim credit should it go ahead. A deal was agreed in the principle but due to other clubs joining the hunt the goal posts were moved. I do have some further info but to save myself from being slated by morons such as yourself I'll keep it under wraps until it's pulled off.

Matthew Le God Posted 27 January, 2011 Share Posted 27 January, 2011 Probably our biggest asset is the ability to pay fees up front. That is irrelevant as Swindon have agreed terms with another club. If Swindon have accepted more bids than just from Ipswich then it is now down to player preference (wages, location, ambition of club etc), not the clubs terms for the transfer structure.
