saint_stevo Posted 20 July, 2009 Author Posted 20 July, 2009 Jason euell signed for blackpool to nigth thanks for that.........
sussexsaint Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 So far I have not been unhappy with anything the new t regime has done
NorthamSteve Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 I would always take what that paper says with a pinch of salt. However, this one seems probable, good spot.
Viking Saint Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 anyone shedding any tears over his departure?? ;0)
egreog Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 excellent news......another overpaid underperformer off to somewhere daft enough to meet his inflated wages!!
EBS1980 Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 one more out, just means space for more to come in. The squad needs a massive overhaul so fine with me.
saint_stevo Posted 20 July, 2009 Author Posted 20 July, 2009 Didn't AP say he wanted to keep him and John though? And Palace have apparently offered Stern a deal.............
hypochondriac Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 I hope John stays. Ecstatic that Jason has gone.
Badger Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 Oh noes. The mule has bolted..! Perhaps he'll be an attraction in Blackpool being led up and down the beach giving kids rides.
saint_stevo Posted 20 July, 2009 Author Posted 20 July, 2009 Wonder what sort of wage they are paying him? Much less than the 10k we were i suspect....
proevosaints Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 To be fair Euell was certainy good last year, battled, actually created a few chances and was one of only a few leaders on the pitch, however that just could be because the rest were crap! While im not overly dissapointed he's gone especially considering he was on around 8 thousand a week, its increasingly alarming how its 3 weeks to go and we're letting players leave left right and centre without any replacements, bar murty. The squad in previous friendlies looked paper thin, it needs to be boosted

The squad in previous friendlies looked paper thin, it needs to be boosted We will have to agree to disagree on that one! Maybe he just looked slightly better than some because everyone else was so bad. For me he was one of our worst players last year, some of his football "skills" were laughable.
Saints foreva Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 Euell was one of our better players last season. Gutted that he is leaving and wish him all the best at Blackpool.
Kaiser Soze Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 I am going to get slated for this.... but I thought Euell was quite decent last year. In a handful of games he was easiest our best player.
NorthamSteve Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 I am going to get slated for this.... but I thought Euell was quite decent last year. In a handful of games he was easiest our best player. Agreed. ....you will get slated.
Arizona Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 Powell, Wright, Hammill... Euell I know, it's like they're hell-bent on relegation or something. This news is fantastic if true. Our squad is very short on quality. We may have lost a (very old) pair of legs, but not much else IMO. A striker who delivered 5 goals in 2 seasons? I'll pass thanks.
shurlock Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 Was committed enough but little more than a glorified battering ram at the end.
revolution saint Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 Euell always seemed very average to me. Granted I didn't see every game he played but I saw quite a few. He may have done well compared to the rest of the team on occasions but that wasn't really saying much. I can live with his departure but good luck to him.
hypochondriac Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 I always played close attention to him in games. Take it from me, he was awful.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Euell may not have scored, but believe me McGoldrick started scoring when he had Euell cutting a path for him in attack. I would have thought his positive contribution to the team in terms of leadership (bearing in mind he was left out in the cold by Jan P) when finally selected was pretty obvious - he was fighting a losing battle to get the team motivated and led by example. No not a scoring machine perhaps, but certainly not the poor player portrayed by some here. I just hope AP is allowed to spend some money getting other mobile experience into the side or the kids are going to get 'run-over' mark my words.
david in sweden Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Didn't AP say he wanted to keep him and John though? And Palace have apparently offered Stern a deal............. well not quite ...! The Daily Star printed a story that AP wanted to keep Stern and Euell - but that was even before he was appointed manager...maybe they should get a new crystal ball ?
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Mule was a massive disappointment here on the whole and terrible value for money at £10k a week it must be said . I recall early games when he quite literally couldn't complete a simple 10 yard pass to a teammate - a shocking standard for a player recently featuring in the Premier league . To be fair he did improve over time and could be quite effective (in midfield) on his day , but for my money JE lacks the finishing/pace to be classed as a proper striker . Not his fault but I found the ludicrous £200k a season 'loyalty bonus' his agent had negoiated particularly irksome and undeserved IMO . In spite of it all I was kind of developing a soft spot for him and I wish him well at his next (last ?) club .
Professor Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 To be fair Euell was certainy good last year, battled, actually created a few chances and was one of only a few leaders on the pitch, however that just could be because the rest were crap! While im not overly dissapointed he's gone especially considering he was on around 8 thousand a week, its increasingly alarming how its 3 weeks to go and we're letting players leave left right and centre without any replacements, bar murty. The squad in previous friendlies looked paper thin, it needs to be boosted Euell was already a failure before he came to Saints, ex striker trying to extend his career in midfield and already dropped by Middlesborough when Burley signed him. AP doing the right thing already by clearing out the dead wood, and expect more to go. Of course it is alarming that Pardew still hasn't signed anyone, he's been in the job for 24 hours now so just what is he doing....... As for the left, right and centre, wasn't that whilst in Administration and done to keep the club in existence until the take-over......
lordswoodsaints Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 That might be a mistake unless they have somebody better lined up to replace him......IMO he would have been an asset in L1.
CB Saint Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 He may have been ineffective in the CCC but I suspect he wuld have done a decent job in this league. It has been said many times on here that the physical aspect of the league should not be underestimated. I suspect his wages were more influencial in allowing him to leave - AP could probabaly get two or three decent league one players for that money. One other thought. How long will AP need to assess the squad properly before he knows exactly what he needs. So far he has seen one game and had one training session. I suspect we may not see any new faces until next week.
Ashley Grute Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 I actually liked the guy- always gave 100%- anyone go to Ipswich away last season- he was brilliant in that game! I would rather have him in centre midfield than pansy L James!
chrisobee Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 I am going to get slated for this.... but I thought Euell was quite decent last year. In a handful of games he was easiest our best player. Not by me either ! I think he's a decent footballer but struggled to play in a team as awful as we were TBH
sidthesquid Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 I admit I quite like him - he was a trier and a battler, and probably he seemed worse with the knowledge that he was costing over ten grand a week, but two goals in twenty-odd games up front and an inability to complete so many simples tasks on the pitch meant he just wasn't good enough. A central part in two of the worst seasons in our history meant he was part of the problem, not the solution. God bless Blackpool and their donkey sanctuary
Chez Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Didn't AP say he wanted to keep him and John though? And Palace have apparently offered Stern a deal............. no the Daily Star did. Mind you Euell had the choice or League 1 or CCC football so maybe we wanted him but he chose to move.
rooney Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 I saw nearly all the home games last year and apart from one or two when he had a good game, in my opinion he was poor bearing in mind the money we were paying him. His shooting was atrocious and I think we are well out if true.
wild-saint Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 AP is a sales genius IMO. First he sells Donkeys to Blackpool, whatever next coal to newcastle, sand to arabs?
SNSUN Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Not dissatisfied with this. I'd like to see Rasiak or John stay, but aside from that it's good to see the older deadwood depart for sunnier climes.
Saintjersey Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 I would have kept him over BWP, but as we have lost both then that is no problem.
saint1977 Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 I know, it's like they're hell-bent on relegation or something. This news is fantastic if true. Our squad is very short on quality. We may have lost a (very old) pair of legs, but not much else IMO. A striker who delivered 5 goals in 2 seasons? I'll pass thanks. Please don't tell me Holloway has signed sheet of glass Powell as well? He can have Ollie Lancashire and Pulis as well and then his SFC sh!t collection will be complete. I'd keep Stern John though and it looks like Pardew wants to.
Colinjb Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Fine by me. Looked like he never really wanted to be here anyway. Shame though.
redorwhitelion Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Some of the venom sent in his direction is unfair. I always felt he was working hard and was most effective when used as an old fashioned centre forward. Why the football world, including Euell himself, think that he is a midfielder is beyond me.
thesaint sfc Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Does make me laugh how fickle people are! Loads of you were going on about him being our best player about 2 months ago! Now everyone's delighted that he's gone. Glad to get rid of his high wages, but he was/is one of our better players IMO. We've got so much sh*t.
the scud Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 I actually liked the guy- always gave 100%- anyone go to Ipswich away last season- he was brilliant in that game! I would rather have him in centre midfield than pansy L James! Always? Yes Ipswich game he played well, but for the other 60 odd games he played for us he was pants! Good to see the back of him tbh
Ed Rooney Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Great news, Euell had this uncanny ability to allow the ball to run under his foot more times in 90 minutes than i had ever seen before, it really was a trademark skill of his.
