SO16_Saint Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 He's on holiday until July 10th? F**k me, he's had all pre-season to have a holiday - and decides to go when he knows Celtic, and every other team, including Saints, are returning to pre-season training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel=God-Poyet=Sod Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 There's no way he can be on holiday until July 10th, that must be a misprint. The SPL season is scheduled to start on August 3rd and so pre season at Celtic would begin next week I think. Sounds promising though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 I would imagine Alan Nixon would have some great Scottish contacts and he seems pretty confident this will all go smoothly. All sounds good to me but would hope we get it done sooner than later to avoid last minute interest from elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio Saint Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 Seriously, pretty much all our major transfers in the last few years have been all over the media. I see that as a bad thing in terms of getting value for money maybe, but a good thing in terms of raising our profile to the players that may sign in the future. A double edged sword there, I think.

DuncanRG Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 It´s quite fun that all they come back to is Champions League which isn´t a sure thing at all for them..... More sure than it is for us. The Celtic fans are right, though they don't give enough credit to the quality of the regular football in the Premier League. Money is the main reason we're more attractive than Celtic. We'd be in the CL if we played in the SPL, the average wage bill of one of the non Glasgow teams is less than the Blue Square second division The (very important) point being made there is that if we played in the SPL we wouldn't have any money either.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 Doesn't really sit well with me to have a player acknowledge that a bid has been accepted and then declare he won't be doing anything for three weeks as he is on holiday. You are either happy to join a club or you aren't. If you want to hedge your bets and wait for better then that is fair enough but I don't think we should be too accommodating after he has gone public with this.

He'll only know if he's happy to join a club once he's spoken with its representatives and negotiated personal terms - something he doesn't want to do yet, because he's on holiday.

As I said early, looked more like a negotiation tactic to me. At the end of the day we are Southampton, not a major name.... growing up in kenya I'm sure he would have barely heard of us. So, Southampton.... you have the money to buy me? Ok.... i'm on holiday right now, no need to make any immediate moves. What have you got?
