'some' sounds like more than the expected 2



are some academy signings?. Cant believe we can accomodate more than 2 extra senior players under cap, unless there's a departure or two as well to make way.

certainly keeping off-season interesting so far though

I think, given Cooke's previous (particularly off-field) record and Potter's reputation as a disciplinarian, it would be a strange signing.

That will ding dang doo for me

Saints are selling their own season tickets too remember.

We didn't announce the Orford detail until after the pledge deadline did we?

What it says is that as of right now, Leon Pryce is still a Saints player. Which even if you believe rumours, that was always the case anyway. The strongest rumour has always been that to get Pryce, a transfer fee would need to be paid. To pay that transfer fee, we'd need money from Orford compensation. Since that clearly hasn't happened yet, I think it's perfectly safe to assume that Leon is a Saints player.

If the Bulls were to stump up that money, then that may change. It wouldn't be the first team someone has been announced in the squad list and then left before the start of the season. All it means is that as of right now, Leon Pryce is a Saints player. That may or may not change, who knows?

Saints are doing the right thing though by announcing numbers early enough that people buying a shirt can have them printed. Wire have just done the same. IF (and it's a big if) there was a potential deal that hasn't been concluded yet, they can't just hold off announcing the numbers to see if anything comes off or not.

Well, I would still rather we signed Pryce than a walrus with a cold.

I'd give up if I were you

Yes. But he never was going to the Bulls for 2011.

were't we in exactly same situation a year or two back (cant remember player though). We announced numbers then a player subsequently left and club had to do refunds to anyone who'd put that player on their shirt. Or was that leeds? certainly rings a bell.

leon pryce signs on either 12th or 13th of november paying saints 80k and he is coming on a 3 year contract

Very specific details there, care to tell us where you have acquired this information?

Also, it seems a bit odd him signing a contract on a weekend (13th is a Saturday).
