Hey that's some memory! So he had one good game.....The rest were abject !

Fox was not one one of the 'best left backs in the Championship' - in fact he was a very long way from it and it's of little surprise that he's way off the pace in the Premier League.....The only surprise is that actually playing there!

Please please Fox you just aren't premier league or championship come to that!!! Liability .....

Anyway back on subject..........Great signings but.......we probably have one of the worse left backs in the Premier League - God help any team who have a worse one than us............So signings wise we are still woefully short in this area - bad move getting shot of Harding prematurely in my view and every team will know to attack us down that side with pace. So whilst we can get hysterical and wet ourselves over some great signings, are we leaving the back door wide open whilst we celebrate in the streets?

Is it not obvious we need a new left back badly......I know we have made some great signings however Fox is as far removed from the class we have signed on this window as you can get!!! Still cannot understand unloading Harding / a little Bizzare ...

Shame he's a very decent player....

Yes the left back slot is a huge weekness - gaping so do we have a plan for this ??? Surely we do?

The number 9 looked a good finisher!

He's got pace though - Only thing is It's very very slow, dead slow or stopped! - left back anybody??? ........

I'm off to slit my throat..!!! This is so funny - at least it relived the tension for ten seconds - cannot stop laughing....Wouldn't even have wanted him 10 years ago let alone now. Are we opening a donkey sanctuary at Staplewood?? ;-)

Not so sure it's such a good idea to let him go myself . Gets quite an unfair press at times and though not a 'flare' player you do need one or two of his type around and at least one in the team. Doesn't spray Hollywood balls around like some but is still as good as those we have that do IMO. Sad to leave, when you need to dig deep he's good to have around....

Well if Antonio plays against Fox we are in for a torrid night! 14 hrs left to sign a left back-please please can we sign a left back- Notts Forest have a good one I hear!!!!

More about CB and even more LB to be honest!

A very accurate summary if I might be so bold sir....

Sorry that doesn't make sense......why then did our normally wide player Guly start at CF when we had ROdrigues available....???? Is someone now going to say ahhhhh yes but Guly plays on the right ??? FFs play him on the left or is that his standing foot!!!!!

Do not rate him at all

Perhaps three late night incidents in about the last year or so involving Saints players drinking and the law, all 'during the season' is painting a picture that requires some thought.............Perhaps the club are not concerned - perhaps there isn't a 'culture' - maybe it's just fine.................Maybe it's how Barcelona do it - I don't know....

This is the point - exactly! He should be fined by the club ......Unless of course this is classed as acceptable by the club and not considered a breach of discipline !!!! If it's acceptable behavior where is the line drawn ..............6.00 am in the morning??? Or is there no line? What is the point of all the millions being spent on the best scientific people and facilities if players are out all night on the razz? We have an international break coming up, perhaps allow them an all nighter then! Christ, you just had about 10 weeks off to do that! Very poor show - lost some respect for this fellow now.....

The point about this is - it's 4.30 in the morning - I take it even if he wasn't going to Stevenage he would be training at some point and there is no way on this eath he is going to be properly fit for training the next day or the same day come to that so yes it is unproffesional as well as stupid. Also, considering he often lacks sharpness I would have thought early nights were essential for him!

What about CHappers - only 8 months we couldn't play without him now he's frozen out!!!! Wtf...

My point was quite a long one ......with some observations of the general picture......it is obvious that the others you mention are also involved with transfer dealings we all know this and can read other threads thank you...

Well said......Adkins appears to be very ponderous bringing players in and sometimes his choices are expensive for their skill level - certainly Fox would fall Into this category ! Cant tell too much about Rodrigues yet but certainly that was towards being over the top for a player who as yet has not shone....I know he has been playing out of position but that is the managers decision after all....For me decisions have been rather bizarre at times this year....releasing Harding and Martin with such haste, no Chaplow or Hmmond around on the bench - yesterday's game was crying out for some Chaplow energy and thrusting runs.....it is clear to me that Adkins is a man who has favourites and this is a very dangerous trait that is emerging in him.....

We only have one useable left back in Shaw. Fox is so far from being a premier league player that you can totally discount him.....We need a quality left back !

Any decent professional footballer should be able to kick with both feet with no bother. This old fashioned 'football people' thinking of one footed footballers is way way out of date.......

One thing is for sure, if we don't bring about three in we will be in deep doo dah......
