eelpie Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 has he signed yet? No, he has to take his turn behind Skacel.

saintbletch Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 A bit OTT IMO, he has some very good aspects to his game, learned over a long and good carreer, so surely merits his place in a squad which will have regular injuries throughout the season !! I agree eurosaint - very OTT. The only defender ever to win FIFA world player of the year was a 5'9" CB. So height, as Perry has proved throughout his career at higher levels, whilst being incredibly important in the team as a whole, isn't essential. And speed whilst also being important isn't as much of an issue in League 1 if the team defence is organised correctly. Personally I've always been impressed with Perry's performances. I'd love to have a team of players who can read the game as well as he does.

S-Clarke Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 This has just come up on the Sky Sports transfer update page... ''10.36 Free agent Radhi Jaidi looks set to join Southampton as reports suggest he has passed a medical at St Mary's.'' Not sure if this is based on ''Sky Sources'' or they're just rehashing the news from yesterday.

The Godfather Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 I had heard he had signed! Just waiting for announcement Good news hopefully.
thorpie the sinner Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Good news hopefully. Hopefully he will have the Darren Moore impact at Derby a few years ago, perfect for this league!!
The Godfather Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Hopefully he will have the Darren Moore impact at Derby a few years ago, perfect for this league!! Remember we had Paul williams in the prem who did a good job despite his limitations, a thug style centre back is a must.

thorpie the sinner Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 nothing official...yet, waiting for some club to gazzump as last minute. pretty sure it is a done deal!
Glasgow_Saint Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Hope he has stayed fit over the summer and can play saturday?
krissyboy31 Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Wiki had this earlier but then deleted it! Jaidi joined Southampton on August 4th 2009. He signed on a free transfer and agreed a 1 year deal with the option of a 2nd year and he will be given the number 6 shirt.

Glasgow_Saint Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 anyone know any Birmingham fans? what did they think of him? why did they release?
S-Clarke Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 some brum comments.... Never thought I'd be saying that but he has been magnificent in the last dozen or so games. It would be very disloyal and undeserving to boot him out. I wouldn't want him as first choice against the better teams with classy strikers who can outwit him on the ground, but there are a number of sides that will launch it to tall strikers, so it might make sense for him to play those games. In addition he would be vital coming on as an extra defender when we are trying to protect a one goal lead against the top four. has been absolutely outstanding at the business end of the season...contrary to those who think he is past the premiership i think his experience and footballing brain will be vital to keeping the likes of ridgewell in check. Jaidi is a true pro who wouldnt kick up a fuss if he wasnt in the team (I wouldnt have thought anyways) Keeping him around to use in the games needed (such as against Stoke when they bombard you aerially) and up against the bigger powerful centre forwards, I reckon would be a good option to have IMO. He sounds perfect for us, and this league.
Matthew Le God Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 anyone know any Birmingham fans? what did they think of him? why did they release? From what I've seen they like him. Played over 30 league games for a team promoted to the Prem last season. Released him as he doesn't have enough pace for the Premiership, that shouldn't be as much of a problem in League One and he should win every header
madsent Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Free agent Radhi Jaidi looks set to join Southampton as reports suggest he has passed a medical at St Mary's. where reports = rumours. Probably off this board and others. Lets hope we get him (or another CB) signed and registered in time to play against Millwall. Does anyone know when he'd need to sign by?
S-Clarke Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Lets hope we get him (or another CB) signed and registered in time to play against Millwall. Does anyone know when he'd need to sign by? Before Midday on Friday i think...
saintbletch Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 some brum comments.... He sounds perfect for us, and this league. Why were their comments made as if he still was a Birmingham player? Were they old comments or is he still potentially a Birmingham player? I thought I had read that his contract had not been renewed and was therefore a free agent. Either way it sounds like they will be losing exactly what we need.

It was comments off a brum forum when they found out he wasn't being offered a new deal
Tac-tics Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 I said it yesterday and i'll say it now, Jaidi is 99.9% a Southampton player. He's been introduced to the squad yesterday.

S-Clarke Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 sounds good to me. strange that no CCC team have come in for him. hopefully there loss Palace wanted him apparentley, but they were hit by a transfer embargo!
Glasgow_Saint Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 I said it yesterday and i'll say it now, Jaidi is 99.9% a Southampton player. He's been introduced to the squad yesterday. So was Tony Lynam!!
greg_hill Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 If we can sign him and by some miracle Thomas can play Vs Millwall, then we can relax, at least a little. If they can both avoid knocks for a couple of weeks while Pardew adds more names to the squad, then things will truly be looking up. People talk about the whole squad being in need f strengthening but that is a long term view. Rasiak and Saga - whilst they are here - can score goals for fun in this league. We have a great first choice goalie too. And like I said, if we sign this guy and get Thomas fit, that's three out of four areas covered in the short term. We just need some bite in midfield.
Tac-tics Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 So was Tony Lynam!! Slightly off topic there OBS
S-Clarke Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 I said it yesterday and i'll say it now, Jaidi is 99.9% a Southampton player. He's been introduced to the squad yesterday. Good news.....and slightly off topic - any news on maybe a striker before saturday?
Tac-tics Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Good news.....and slightly off topic - any news on maybe a striker before saturday? If I'm honest, I dont know anything about strikers. I know 110% a call was made to Matt Holland over a week or so ago.
saints_is_the_south Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 If I'm honest, I dont know anything about strikers. I know 110% a call was made to Matt Holland over a week or so ago. Holland, Murty, Jahidi along with Davis & Thomas. Our team is going to be older than the cast from Dads Army!
Ponty Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Holland, Murty, Jahidi along with Davis & Thomas. Our team is going to be older than the cast from Dads Army! And more experienced than the cast from "Mammoth Mammaries 7".
Tac-tics Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 It could be regarding a coaching role, advisory, anything! I just know he was on the phone to an old friend from his Charlton days called "Matty".
Matthew Le God Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 If I'm honest, I dont know anything about strikers. I know 110% a call was made to Matt Holland over a week or so ago. I know 100% that 110% is impossible.
Matthew Le God Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 It could be regarding a coaching role, advisory, anything! I just know he was on the phone to an old friend from his Charlton days called "Matty". I'm sure there is likely to be more than one person called Matthew working at Charlton player or staff, so to say it is 110% Matthew Holland is stretching it.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 I am a little wary of Jaidi, personally I've always thought he was clumsy, BUT I am more than willing to give him a chance, so here's hoping...
SuperSAINT Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Holland would be ideal though. Pulis is up to the job, and assuming Morgan leaves, we'll be quite short in that area.
