derry Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 I posted on the other thread I met McLeish up at Old Trafford the other week when he was attending a managers meeting - he spent ages having a chat and posed for a great picture with my nipper. I asked him about Jaidi and his first words were he was signing for us. He told me he still needed him but his legs were not up to the Prem anymore - there guy at the back tonight was immense so cant see they need him as much as us ;-) Fingers crossed he will sign and not just taking in a game of his old team. This tallies with the rumour of suspect knee. Which I suspect is the real hold up not the work permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 Picture of Jaidi in the directors box in echo artical http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/4565034.Rasiak_in_talks_to_leave_Saints/ Same chap that was photographed sitting next to Pardew at Farnborough pre-season game?

northam soul Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 So according to the article Rasiak was unimpressed by the club he spoke too which i assume was Reading so only Watford left then. I guess that means they didnt want to pay him enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Porter Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 Why? Thomas and Perry haven't done well enough. For the money he's paid and the transfer fee, Thomas has been appalling. Trotman is a loan, so Jaidi would be brilliant. Gives us 4 options which is surely the minimum in central defence. Thomas might be better alongside a better player, although I'd be tempted to play Jaidi and Trotman to start with. Perry does okay, but he's just getting too old. Good sub though. Considering Murtys injury we could just stick Thomas at right back with Jaidi and Trottman in the middle. Would give us a serious amount of height from set pieces.

Ponty Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 Is there any mileage in sticking Perry at right back? Height isn't such an issue there and maybe, just maybe his brain can make up for his legs. After all, Dodd was no Usain Bolt, was he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 I think signing Jaidi may indirectly give us more options at right back. Anyone agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussexsaint Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 Its going to be a long hard season and the more options we have the better - I take his presence last night and the 'reports' of him at the training ground to all be very good - just hope it happens along witha couple of others Gutted about Murty though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussexsaint Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 Presumably as Jaidi is a free agent the transfer window does not apply to him yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 Jaidi would be IMO the best signing we have made this summer. He was a major part of the best defence in the CCC and is a player with significant Prem and International experience. Really hope we get him!

Saint Sinner Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 Oh, go on then...I may as well be first to ask the conspiracy laden obvious question....what were you doing in the directors box sat next to him? ;-) ha ha, well, his family and him turned up 15 minutes in or so and was sat next to me and there wasnt exactly a lot of people in there last night. Tickets up there with food were only £40 so I went to have a look!! it was nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy Nutkins Posted 27 August, 2009 Share Posted 27 August, 2009 I am led to believe, Jaidi had blood tests done yesterday, presumably part of a medical.He was dressed apparantly in Saints training kit and when asked if he played for Saints, replied i hope to be soon.

Window Cleaner Posted 27 August, 2009 Share Posted 27 August, 2009 Was at the game and noticed up in the royal box was a guy being shown around by one of those guys with the green blazer on. Could not get a picture of him but was a big dude who sort of looked abit like ade adebayor and had a creamy kinda couloured suit on. He was there for the first half then vanished. Was this Jhadi or however it is spelt or just some guy totally un-related to us? Green blazer eh? perhaps we're signing Tiger Woods to give the lads golf tips on their days off, I mean we're a bagsomoney club aren't we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 27 August, 2009 Share Posted 27 August, 2009 Wonder if AP invited Gunn down with a view to him doing a bit of scouting for us whilst he was waiting for another job to come along? Mind you he has done almost every job possible at Norwich so maybe he will be asked to be director of football (be on the board btu with knowledge of football). Long shot I know. Just bandying the idea around. Regarding Jardi. Is he training with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
