SaintRichmond Posted 24 July, 2011 Share Posted 24 July, 2011 Well if its true I would be surprised if NC and NA dont pull the plug and look elsewhere for a centre back. I agree What makes me think that the scenario is correct, is the very fact that NA was quite positive that there would be TWO signings prior to the Leibherr Tribute Day Only one of those transpired Whilst I can see that the Prem would have more "pull", I still think that the "attitude " by Jemal, IF true, is not the sort that would blend in well with what appears to be a "settled"squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 24 July, 2011 Share Posted 24 July, 2011 NA was very positive about someone else signing very very soon if you listen to his Saints Player article on De Ridder. Smiled and said would be announced once its all signed and completed. Jemal has every right to consider what he wants to do, its a big move for him but he sounds exactly what we need so lets hope it gets completed!

Think you were a bit too keen to make a point there, let the facts get in the way, which is ironic. Actually, 3 people have said it, if you want to be pedant who misses the point (which you obviously are trying to be). One after dropping info that puts a sour note on the potential transfer. But it's ok, because just like saying 'allegedly' after announcing someone kicks rabbits to death as part of their daily recreation, by saying 'if true' you get to be an ITK superfan and pass off any old 'rumour' their personal prejudices have allowed for, and then either enhance or redact that opinion at a later date. Oh, and really, by your standard, shouldn’t they say if true twice? Once for the transfer itself, and once for the offer from Stoke Here's an example "If Jemal kicks rabbits to death as part of his daily recreation (which I’ve heard from Santa Claus he allegedly does), then I don't want this sick twisted bordering on early-signs-of-serial killer to turn out for the saints. IF TRUE". If he signs and has a bad game, I can claim ITK and use it to launch into him after a bad game. If he doesn’t, then I can lead the “I’m glad that Saints didn’t sign that Leporidae murderer, Stoke are welcome to him” type comments. Doesn’t matter if Saints even are in for him in the first place. I believe these kinds of threads happen because of the new tighter info policy surrounding transfers and the tragic and chronic desire to be ITK (we announce them when they are a done deal). For proof, see the recent transfer of Jack Cork, where in a rare move, Adkins announced our approach for him to cool our rabid fan base. But instead, it quickly descends into "IF TRUE, he obviously wants to go to West Ham and can fark off". All of which was forgotten after some good play by the man himself. But the first time he or Jemal (IF it's TRUE we are even in for him) have a bad game, there will be some who point to threads like these and the week gap for Cork for proof and say "You can tell he's not committed, obviously regretting not getting the move to X/Y/Z". And if you can't see the truth of that through recent examples, it's not ironic, it's just sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I was trying to make was that, if true (I believe I wrote that) my first impression would be to ask does he really want to come to Southampton. He doesn't have to bleed red & white but he does need to want to be here enough to want to put in a decent shift for the cause. Look at Van Damme, for instance. Didn't really want to be here & it showed & affected others. If he does join & does well - brilliant, if he chooses to go to Stoke - fine, no hard feelings but if he comes here just for a pay day & with a heavy heart then it's not likely to go well for all concerned. Oh & half wit? I think not. Edited 24 July, 2011 by Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be getting a little irate about fans using this thread as evidence to criticise a player. Is not your real gripe with fans getting on our players' backs, rather than commenting on how good or bad a scenario is that has been put forward by another poster? Not sure about you're final ironic/sad point, care to explain it? I doubt it's your writing, probably because I'm missing the point yet again. I'll quote the two posters I was referring to as your point about repeating 'if true' also doesn't seem very clear. Again, it's probably my failings rather than your argument technique that is at fault here...

capitalsaint Posted 24 July, 2011 Share Posted 24 July, 2011 Additionally, it's ok to mention a player being money-seeking provided they don't sign for us? Re: CMS Judging by Allardyce's comments, and those of the Peterborough owner, he only went to the brighton for the money. Given that, I'm very happy we 'missed out' on him.
