Heh, someone posting on an internet forum, to tell people to go out?

Is it me or does Saints site seem completely removed from the club in it's articles. Like Seville's last season that was basically just full of transfer speculation.

[Ratinho]

Who calls press conferences for 10.00am??

Thought it was normally early afternoon.

Wenger last night confirmed the Gunners were "very heavily in the race" to land the £12million-rated teenager, and they could present the 16-year-old at the regular pre-match press conference, scheduled to take place at 12:30pm.

jesus christ you f****g losers just wait for the announcement on soccernet/sky sports/whatever.

you should be out trying to get laid or something. this thread should be no longer than 10 pages. honestly, its really embarrassing for the whole board.

What the hell are you doing here then? And how many posts do you have on this thread? I bet over 10.

 

[Mckenna]

Yeah it is, usually one o'clock, as far as I remember from last week.

 

[RocktheCasbah]

Arsène's press conference is usually 1- 1.30 I thought?

Next person to insult anyone will see this thread locked.

 

[sn196]

can someone explain why it has taken a week to tie this deal up?

 

[Mckenna]

Right, so to start another small debate, just hours before we find out:

Will Theo be given a "good number" ie a single digit that is available? Or will he be given a very high number which signifies his age, to be changed in a few seasons when he matures?

Opinions?

 

[Ratinho]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Oh, and a 'good number'? He'll get the next number along that isn't taken, or whatever he wants that isn't taken.

Basically, it has taken this long because Southampton have been trying to talk him into a move to Chelsea, because that would mean more money. They've also tried to play hardball with Arsenal and demand more money, not that that worked because we could've got him for free at Tribunal. And then Rupert Lowe went off hunting at the moment when the deal could've been sealed almost a week ago. It's also been a long argument over how much money they're getting up front and how much in performance related payments.

I think it has moved quite quickly considering.

 

[bravegunner]

I think he will get the same number he had at Southampton.

No. 32. I think the number is free!?

In the past people spoke about Michael Jordans 23, in the future they will talk about Walcotts 32.

Just kidding...

 

[sn196]

The boy wants a move to us so why the fcuk are Southampton board taking the piss!!!

Rupert "the Bear" Lowe...NO...you dont want Chelskis money ... ITS DIRTY!!!!

 

[Ratinho]

Because you can't just press 'Continue' a couple of times, match what it says for the value and contract on the screen, and click 'Confirm Deal' tbh.

News flash for you, most transfers take this long, it's just that most don't get the press coverage.

Plus, this has hardly been an 'open and shut' case.
