Saint Charlie Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 (edited) http://audioboo.fm/boos/623720 Transfers from 3mins or so. Pleased with the win. Definitely sending off as far as NA concerned. Pleased with Connolly. Transfers: - One player due this week - Tadanari Lee also, very excited about him. - Wants to bring in another striker (as well as Lee) - Clearly wants Hooper.... Also some more injured players back for Leicester Edited 14 January, 2012 by Saint Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis17 Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 Did he actually say the new signing this week wouldn't be the striker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 Having had the benefit of the live stream and a number of replays for the red card, I think it was a bit harsh and wouldn't be surprised if Forest appeal against it. That said, regardless of that decision going our way, we were comfortably the better side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 Did he actually say the new signing this week wouldn't be the striker? He said we have Lee joining and he's very excited about that, and also another signing is very close and will be done next week. And obviously that isn't hooper.

Give it to Ron Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 I wonder if it will be Trotta the Fulham lad who is on loan at Wycombe. He is scoring goals in a shocking team. I saw this rumoured a few weeks ago - his loan ends today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis17 Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 He didn't say. Could be a wideman perhaps. Here's hoping. Still got a feeling that Adkins is using the Hooper speculation as a smokescreen for signing someone else.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Garrett Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 He said we have Lee joining and he's very excited about that, and also another signing is very close and will be done next week.

Saint Charlie Posted 14 January, 2012 Author Share Posted 14 January, 2012 He made it clear he is interested in Hooper. But it was clear that the person who will join this week isn't Hooper. The other player I think will be a winger. Basically he referred to: Lee Another striker (he clearly wants Hooper) Another player joining this week (unnamed, no position given) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintscottofthenortham Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 He responded about going back in for hoped with "privately". That to me is a "we will go back in but dot want everyone knowing how much cash we are chucking about." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 Did Adkins say obviously not Hooper, or is that your take on it? That was my take on it, Hooper was being talked about as 'another' interest from what I could hear. We can't be that close to doing a deal for Hooper to have it done for next week anyway, so it's another player IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio Saint Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 Lee, Hooper and another player somewhere up frontish was my impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 You may be right, but if we agree a fee it shouldn't take too long to complete. But the way Nige was talking it sounded like the player we'll get next week is all but done, 80% ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Matthew Le Tissier' on here said something similar last night that we were 80% of the way to signing a player that none of us had speculated on.

thorpie the sinner Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 But the way Nige was talking it sounded like the player we'll get next week is all but done, 80% ish. are you referring to the 80% being quoted last night by MLT lol, either way, fantastic interview and all sounds promising!

Legod Third Coming Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 I'm not fussed about a bloke who CAN get in the Celtic side. Far better to stick with those who can't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 Two new strikers?! I guess that's the end of Connolly and Barnard. Not Connolly. Makes too much of an impact. His return helped keep our season on track back in April, and he's done his bit now to help turn our slump around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambosa75 Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 Interesting to see Adkins more or less confirm a bid had gone in for Gary Hooper. I personally thought it was all speculation that had been built up on here and that we'd have no chance of signing him. The fact that a bid has gone in suggests Adkins believes he would come if given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that a bid has gone in suggests Adkins believes he would come if given the chance. SSN reported today that Saints had a second bid for Hooper turned down by Celtic according to Neil Lennon who said the clubs were some way apart on a valuation.

Suhari Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 Wow. That interview says a lot. NA clearly wants Hooper and we are obviously going back for him. Plus another signing for th is week nearly done. We could do this you know.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSN will report any old gossip. Seem to remember then years ago reporting a rumour started on S4E that we were close to signing Carsten Jancker. Hearing it from Adkins gave it a hell of a lot more creedence however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 With today's away win, and a few players coming in during the week, we could be getting right back on track. Poor results for Boro who have terrible scoring problems, and Cardiff are up and down like a pair of whores draws! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Under Weststand Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 It was certainly a very interesting interview, & clearly showing intent not only for promotion, he wants to win it as well! should be an exciting few days to come. sounds like the Hooper deal is not dead yet.

millbrooktonian Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 I have a feeling,however much we seem to be interested in Hooper ,this is a smokescreen for someone to come in under the radar.Dead excited about Leicester game, just ordered a japanese flag,will take it to the game to welcome Tadanari Lee .Happy days,COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Bald_Si Posted 15 January, 2012 Share Posted 15 January, 2012 All very, very exciting to hear. Watched the stream today and thought we did very well, adding a few new signings into the mix makes me want to go and play with myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted 15 January, 2012 Share Posted 15 January, 2012 This won't be the end of Connolly. Awsome today, you don't get many players as clever as him. Pulled their defence all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
