krissyboy31 Posted 17 August, 2009 Share Posted 17 August, 2009 to be honest SR.. As it stands I dont think we are strong enough for a promotion push... but what I really cannot see is us fighting to stay up this season...we may be poor but we are better than that Agreed and we will be stronger by 1st of September and stronger still by 1st February.

ottery st mary Posted 17 August, 2009 Share Posted 17 August, 2009 I know that various scouts are at most football games but there is rumour that amongst others there was an interest from Saints at the Exeter v Norwich game on Saturday. Agreed that sometimes clubs have representation re future opponents etc..We do not play either club for a while. If looking at players from either side for Saints for the here and now I would fully recomend. Exeter......Matt Taylor....Centre Back very very good.(The other centre Back Troy Archibald-Henville is very young.not much experience.not too bad already on loan from Spurs... their future prospect) Liam Sercombe... Right or Centre Midfield Youngster but probably no better than Melis...More a future prospect. Not sure Exeter would release Taylor. Norwich.....Wes Hoolahan..Winger With top speed, skill, trickery and above all else experience..Would be just what we need NOW. Simon Whaley...Right winger/midfield...Close second to Hooley but would be good for our right side now. Jens Berthel ASKOU Centre Back...Big strong powerful experienced player and scored from a corner...Liked the look and compared to some centre backs legs and a brain. Unsure about ..Owain Tudor Jones was only played for a while as sub..but has something in midfield as has the young Tom Adeyemi in midfield. Matt Gill has only just returned to his hometown team...Good player in the middle going forwards. Gary Doherty..Bruiser of a centre back..not as good as Berthel. Others with experience Paul McVeigh, Dejan Stefanovic, Jamie Cureton, Stephen Hughes did not play... For here and now IMO I would see Berthel, and Hoolihan as players who would fit in and do us proud at Saints....... Not sure of the current situation with Norwich and money etc but they did take on a lot of players under Gunn and have to off load quite a few. Just some thoughts on what I saw at Exeter.

Chez Posted 17 August, 2009 Share Posted 17 August, 2009 One defeat and thats it? Season over? No chance of the play offs? **** me. The expectations are unreal on this board. People seriously thinking that one defeat to the favourites of the league with one of the best players in the league scoring twice against us means its over and we are in a relegation battle. absolutely not, but the manor of the defeat are the obvious failings (in terms of pace and height from our centre backs, threat from our wide players, ability to get hold of the ball in midfield, and pace up front) are a real concern. JPS or Perry at the back? Its a no brainer so why not make this happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted 17 August, 2009 Share Posted 17 August, 2009 We should get Chris Baird and Andrew Davies back on loan - neither is playing at their current club and both are former Saints players of the season. They'd add a bit of youth and steel at the back - and I'm sure we could afford to pay half their wages now. I'd also bring Prutton back to add some bite in midfield - if the rumours he wants to return to the South Coast are true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasiak-9- Posted 18 August, 2009 Share Posted 18 August, 2009 hmm...this may be pushing it a bit Mr Liebherr but is there any chance we could just thump in with the best part of a million for Simeon Jackson? Gillingham would no way be able to turn that down and that'd give a c/ship level front two completely sorted for at least the next 3 years - and with the kids like Paterson coming through that'd basically mean we can consider the strikeforce essentially done and dusted.

He spent most of the season troubling the Stoke physios and played a total of 7 league games for Stoke and Preston. He's too head-strong and gets himself hurt through unnecessarily physical play. He has no subtlety at all and is constantly out of position. In L1, he would only play for 10 minutes before he broke something and was out for a month.

Ninja Elephant I love you, Glenn Murray. Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Hove Posts: 2,514 I would be amazed if Cox were sold, though I wouldn't really mind because I don't think he's as good as people seem to think, and I actually think the way he plays makes us weaker, formation wise. I would rather we had a natural left winger on that left hand side, with the natural left foot. Obviously, someone better than McLeod. If we were to sell Cox, I wouldn't be too disappointed. I hope we get atleast £500,000 though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
