St.Patrik Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Really good news - welcome to Saints mr.Murty !
NickG Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 The Capt, and I think possibly ever present, of the best - by far - team I saw play whilst in CCC.
NickG Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4529034.Murty_signs_one_year_Saints_deal/
saints_is_the_south Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Good news, slightly underwhelmed at this being the big news tho!
SO16_Saint Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 The Capt, and I think possibly ever present, of the best - by far - team I saw play whilst in CCC. that sentence took me a while to understand..... but when i did, i agree!
thorpie the sinner Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 great news!! Jaidi as well today hopefully and it will be a good day!
Glasgow_Saint Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 good signing. reviews so far are positive and his experience could be invaluable. welcome Mr Murty
Saint Fan CaM Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 LOL @ all those thinking this would be massive news of several signings. The only surprise is that it took this long to sign a 34yr old RB. Good player though that is another piece in defensive shake-up.
sussexsaint Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Good news a solid signing another thumbs up to the new regime .....keep 'em coming
thorpie the sinner Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 We know Markus and nicola believe in doing things the right way! They have already said they will spend accordingly for league one! Good news - I will settle for a solid foundation at the club first and foremost!
sussexsaint Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 BTW I have now reached an age where the use of the word 'veteran' in conjunction with the age 34 makes me feel soooooo ooooooold
thorpie the sinner Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 BTW I have now reached an age where the use of the word 'veteran' in conjunction with the age 34 makes me feel soooooo ooooooold Happy birthday, it is all down hill from there lol!!
ottery st mary Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Murty is a top signing...Top man...Now for Jaidi, the winger and the mid fielder and we are off up the league. COYRs.
NickG Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 all additions great appreciated but think we are not too bad for wide players compared to other positions.
The Tango Man Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 A good reliable and steady signing..make him skipper and keep the building process around him begin !!!
Capel Saint Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 A solid signing who will help galvanise what is currently a weak defence. If Jaidi signs today then it will leave Pardew to concentrate on a striker or two if Rasiak and Saga are very intent on still leaving.

Bakovnetski Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 The only hope is that he stays fit for the season as we have precious little cover for him in that position if Lloyd James is to move to midfield. Still a welcome addition of an old head with positional sense in this league.
miserableoldgit Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 great news!! Jaidi as well today hopefully and it will be a good day! Echo reporting that it is hoped that Jaidi deal will be tied up today.
eurosaint Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 The only hope is that he stays fit for the season as we have precious little cover for him in that position if Lloyd James is to move to midfield. Still a welcome addition of an old head with positional sense in this league. Am I the only one who thinks that James had a pretty good season last year ? I reckon he improved solidly and will be the ideal backup for Murty as well as covering midfield ????
Foxstone Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Good signing. Will add some much needed nouse and experience to our young squad. Welcome Graham
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 A solid signing He sure is - they'll be singing in the pie shops of southern Hampshire tonight .
Bakovnetski Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks that James had a pretty good season last year ? I reckon he improved solidly and will be the ideal backup for Murty as well as covering midfield ???? Totally agree that James had a good season there and grew a lot in stature and confidence. Is James a midfielder or RB or just a plug when we have a problem? I saw him more a a maturing midfielder but, hey-ho, that just my take.
NickG Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks that James had a pretty good season last year ? I reckon he improved solidly and will be the ideal backup for Murty as well as covering midfield ???? agree. both fullback positions have both decent first choice and cover now.
Wes Tender Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 I was rather hoping to hear that it was Murty and Jaidi signing together. Oh well, perhaps Jaidi later, to make it a good day.
SFC Forever Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 I am greedy because like a lot, I firmly believe we need 2 CB's
The9 Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks that James had a pretty good season last year ? I reckon he improved solidly and will be the ideal backup for Murty as well as covering midfield ???? Once he stopped throwing himself into 20 yard sliding tackles through the back of his man and getting booked in practically every game he did ok - he might have more to offer than Wotton alongside Gillett in the middle though, which is probably why Henderson was putting him back in there pre-season.
The9 Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Great news What number will he wear anyone know? 6, 7, 12, 14 and 16 are free, after that its 34-43. If I was a right back with that choice I'd want 12.
Clifford Nelson Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks that James had a pretty good season last year ? I reckon he improved solidly and will be the ideal backup for Murty as well as covering midfield ???? James is definitely not a midfielder, regardless of his background. He waits for the ball to arrive to him rather than goes and meets it. Against Ajax his performance was woeful, not least if you compare it with Gillet and Fish. As a RB he will probably be OK as a back up to Murty.
eelpie Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 BTW I have now reached an age where the use of the word 'veteran' in conjunction with the age 34 makes me feel soooooo ooooooold FOR SALE A brand new home shirt with 70 on the back!
Clifford Nelson Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 I welcome Murty to Saints. He is a good addition, but it was hardly a great surprise, was it? OS is back to it's old tricks by firstly highlighting the signing as BIG news, and secondly got it's toe curling, stomach acid inducing, teeth grinding, SPIN back on song again. "...Alan Pardew has moved quickly..." When you can describe one of the slowest signings we have ever seen in those terms then you don't respect your readers. The Echo, of course, picked it up and printed the same tosh unedited. It winds me up to be treated like a moron.
The Godfather Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 BTW I have now reached an age where the use of the word 'veteran' in conjunction with the age 34 makes me feel soooooo ooooooold Thats my age and having played a double header last night my legs are not working this morning.lol.

Saint_clark Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 get over yourself, OS is to imform and promote the club - they are doing that it is a big signing for where we are. Oh come on, to say "Alan Pardew has moved quickly" is just silly. If they'd said "Alan Pardew wanted to have a good look at him before committing to a decision", THEN they would have been informing us.

The Echo, of course, picked it up and printed the same tosh unedited. It winds me up to be treated like a moron. I think its big news.....and no spin involved. He is a good quality signing...Pardew took his time and assessed him, reckons he can be fitter etc and then signed him. Did pardew move quickly, yes I would say he did by getting him to St Mary's in the first place. People are strange!!!!
Matthew Le God Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 yes I would say he did by getting him to St Mary's in the first place. People are strange!!!! Murty was on trial before Pardew was appointed.

Did pardew move quickly, yes I would say he did by getting him to St Mary's in the first place. People are strange!!!! Not to take anything away from the points that you made, but I am sure that I read somewhere that it was Wotte who brought Murty in, in the first place.
Ponty Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Yep, credit for kicking this off goes to Mr. Wotte.
corsacar saint Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Very good signing, hopefully now for Jaidi.
krissyboy31 Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Yep, credit for kicking this off goes to Mr. Wotte. Actually, I think it was the other way around, in that Murty asked the club if he could train with them.
fanimal Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 6, 7, 12, 14 and 16 are free, after that its 34-43. If I was a right back with that choice I'd want 12. And then swap Wotton at 10 for Saga at 4 - crazy!!
Clifford Nelson Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 "Calm down dear, it`s only a website":) I think you and several other have got it wrong. It's not "only a website". It's the clubs voice to the supporters and it ought to do better. Since I'm checking other club websites around Europe, I am clear that ours is lagging far behind others. I have not suggested that AP has done anything wrong, but the suggestion that he had been "swift" is daft. Murty was here when AP arrived. There are other things the club no doubt will improve over time as well, such as the catering, but that is not as important as the communication with the fans.
Amesbury Saint Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Good news, slightly underwhelmed at this being the big news tho! agreed
Rattlehead Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Better get security to watch the pie stock on match days.
