Radio Solent news have said that Papa's permit has come through in time for him to be included in the squad (Jaidi's has not) AND both Mills and Holmes are both fit to play if needed. Anyone else heard that?! If true, this has to be a massive boost for AP and the team.

Wow - we may be able to play with width!

 

if that's the case....Mills on the left, Papa on the right - Adam behind lambo (as saga is away)

 

AP...do it!

Would keep Papa on the bench, to come on and score a last minute winner sparking wild celebrations.

Mmm, I like the thought, but starting with two players fresh from injury might be a bit risky???

Holmes is a left winger so I see no point putting him on the right. I assume he is lacking match fitness so would leave him out of this one, Mills on the other hand should be ok as he played not so long ago.

Mellis or preferably Papa Shango on the right for me but apart from that I agree.

You've obviously not been keeping up with the plot have you, the only thing that happens last minute in a saints game is we concede... not score. ;)

Would be a big lift if Papa was even just on the bench.

 

Shame Jaidi's permit hasn't come through though!

 

---------------------------------------------------------

 

Saints twitter says Jaidi permit is 7-10 days away (so hopefully in time for Charlton away). Papa is a possibility for Saturday but will be touch and go.

Club have just updated twitter...they're not so sure on Papa yet. (Although may have changed in the last hour)

 

Jaidi's work permit is probably 7 - 10 days away. Papa Waigo is a possibility for Saturday but touch and go. #saintsfc

Jaidi's signing was announced on Tuesday to appease the masses who would have been up in arms had we not signed anyone. It was always going to take another 3 weeks to have him playing. Please recall that we didn't know anything about Papa Waigo till Wednesday, neither did the club, hence the panic of announcing the Jaidi deal.

 

This is the Holy month of Ramadan and Jaidi's permit will surely not appear till it's all over. But what do I know in the face of such higher intelligence of the SCITK's?

Holmes and Fish are both left footers, so one will cut in rather than cross, and we will have sacrificed width again. Let both of them play on the left, one to start the other to finish.

Just listened to Pard's on Saints player....

 

'pretty much confirmed the OP's post. Papa should be available for sat. and Holmes and Mills are both fully fit and pushing for a place.

 

also made me laugh that Pard's commented that he's sure saints fans had been checking out Papa's dancing on youtubue :D

 

doesn't sound like he personally knows Papa or how he plays - but he did say that one thing he knows is that he offers genuine pace - and we've lacked that. Said he's come highly recommended and has been told that he could be an unexpected bonus for us.

Why is he called fish?

He'll (Papa) probably come on late in the game - and I have this dread of seeing Ali Dia the Second. Sincerely hope I am wrong.

There is absolutely no way that Lee Holmes should start the match. He was rushed back last season and he just ended up crocked again.

 

Would be stupid to play him from the start IMO.

Papa Waigo hasn't made up a career. You can look at his record in the top two leagues in Italy and for a good international team. Same cannot be said of Ali Dia who fabricated his past.

When he was growing up he couldn't say Joseph and the word he said sounded like "fish" and has stuck with him to this day as a nickname.

 

Thanks, that's cool, he obviously comes from a lovely family.

No doubt - but I still anticipate an anti-climax. Some seem to think we have signed some sort of megastar. I hope they are right.

Clearly not a lot if you think that the whole Islamic world comes to a complete standstill during Ramadan.

Nearly. His kid brother could not say Joseph properly and pronounced it "fish", hence the nickname.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I feel really sad knowing that.

there would be serious problems somewhere if our team cant beat colchester at home this weekend..

 

 

Trouble is, we've been saying that for sometime now about lots of teams haven't we?! It will be no different this weekend - a tough, tough game. We need to score early and convincingly (i.e. not off someones bum) to really stamp a mark. Just hope the midfield is up to the task and there's not too much hoof - that'll make a good game.

Norwich fans were probably thinking the same thing a few weeks ago :cool:

 

Although a lot has happened to them since then :p

 

Hopefully Hammond will work the ex club card and score a beauty to start the ball rolling.

Would be a bonus if he can find the net regularly, but it's equally important that the threat of his pace keeps the opposition defenders deeper in their half, giving Lambert more space to play in, so we should see just how deadly he really is.

Is it the Tunisian Government that issues the work permit? Silly me, I thought that it was the Borders and Imigration authority here in the UK. Of course, it could be that the Civil Service has been infiltrated by large numbers of Muslims as part of some PC initiative, but otherwise the permit should not take long. However, nobody has explained to me why Jaidi hasn't applied for an Indefinite Leave to remain instead, as he has been here over 5 years as I understand it.

papa Lallana mills/holmes(who ever is fitter)

This looks like a quality team, though I would replace James with Morgan and maybe try Saga on the left if mills and holmes are deemed unfit

I think that is what he has done and why it has taken time. He definitely doesn't qualify for a permit on footballing grounds since he doesn't represent his country anymore.

Pardew not met Papa yet and knows he speaks little English but is looking at playing him tomorrow.

 

Turned down bids for Morgan and Marek

 

 

A chance for us all, including Pards, to see how good he is perhaps?

Can't quite see how trying to say Joseph comes out like "fish" .....would most likely have been Jesh or Jeph surely ??
