trousers Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 heard vokes was off to Coventry? Are you asking or telling...?
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 Perhaps a sign that Saga is on the out's? On paper, you'd have Saga scoring for fun in this league. He might score for fun, but it certainly doesn't seem as if he will score for his wages.
oggiee Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 gets games at Brum in the prem though! MAYBE if we were in the champs, not rock bottom of L1 he would be tempted Am fairly sure I read somewhere that he'd been released during the summer actually....
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 Papa not the messiah anymore then? Nope, the Pope.
saint_stevo Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 Am fairly sure I read somewhere that he'd been released during the summer actually.... Nope. Gary McSheffrey still at Brum fo'sure
S-Clarke Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 Well Volkes was supposed to join Cov last week, but it didn't happen and nothing has been in the media since.... Maybe we've put our loan on the table? He'd love to play for saints at St Mary's - he'd jump at the chance IMO. L1 or not.
VectisSaint Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 Wolves fan was telling me that Vokes is on his way to us. Don't believe it myself but thought I'd put that out there. Personally believe he'd be off to a Championship club if anywhere. Are you just jumping on the Vokes Wagon?
Toadhall Saint Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 Papa not the messiah anymore then? He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!
sotonjoe Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy! As far as the offside rule is concerned, you're too right.
derry Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 The Vokes to Coventry loan has stalled as they can't come to an agreement on the length of the loan period.
S-Clarke Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 gets games at Brum in the prem though! MAYBE if we were in the champs, not rock bottom of L1 he would be tempted ''Notts County are hoping to pip Sheffield United and Coventry to the loan signing of Birmingham winger Gary McSheffrey.'' Hope we're sniffing around too!
saint_stevo Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 ''Notts County are hoping to pip Sheffield United and Coventry to the loan signing of Birmingham winger Gary McSheffrey.'' Hope we're sniffing around too! Quoted from? He would be ideal, but a tad hopeful maybe!?

Jimmy Gabriel's Halo Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy! ....and to continue in that vein....."Yeah....what's Papa Waigo ever done for us, eh?":smt036
wild-saint Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 OK Just had a call. Leicester have agreed to let us have DJ Campbell. He is on 10k per week we have offered to cover 6k with leicester picking up the rest to get him off the books. Problem is he wants to stay at leicester even though they have told him de doesnt figure in thier plans. They have given pardew his number to call cambell to try and persuade him to join. Lets hop he manages it as he maybe just what we need up fromt with Ricky.
SuperSAINT Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 Well Volkes was supposed to join Cov last week, but it didn't happen and nothing has been in the media since.... Maybe we've put our loan on the table? He'd love to play for saints at St Mary's - he'd jump at the chance IMO. L1 or not. Here's the latest I found on Vokes/Coventry. http://www.expressandstar.com/2009/10/01/vokes-loan-move-delay-goes-on/
ART Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 Is this Pardew once again saying he wants rid of Gillett because he's rather play Paul Wotton? Got to say I don't really rate him as a judge of talent if it is. I have to agree with you regarding Pas Dieu's judge of talent. That goes for his team selections and substitutions too. When he arrived we were told he knew a thing or two about up and coming players through all the Leagues, yet, it's always someone else who recommends a player to him. I can't help it but I have grave doubts to whether we'll ever go anywhere under Pas Dieu.
Clifford Nelson Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 Not that I object to more strikers in the club, but is that the problem? Lambert has scored six and Lallana 4, both of which is very respectable. It is nil from Saga, nil from Hammond (a proven goal scorer) and nil everywhere else. We can by striker after striker, but the problem is width, pace and runs from midfield.
krissyboy31 Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 DJ Campbell would be ideal IMO Probably end up with DJ Talent!
SuperMikey Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 Well, at least DJ Campbell would win us a lot more penalties. Still have the 'still not scoring from open play ffs' whinging going on though! Ideally i'd have Vokes, mainly because he is a huge Saints fan. I know that if I were to sign for Saints (highly unlikely) that i'd give 110% every game to help the team, and i'm sure he'd be the same. The lad's obviously got some talent too. McSheffrey..I think he's more of a winger than a striker, and he's left sided as well, and I think that it would be unfair to recruit another left winger who would keep players like Holmes and Mills out of the squad, who should probably be starting each week. What we need is foil for Rickie. He is a big lad, he hasn't got the mobility to be chasing the ball around, creating chances for himself. He needs someone to zip around the pitch chasing defenders, he needs somebody with a good footballing mind and he needs someone with a bit of experience under his belt. I think the perfect man for the job is Michael Mifsud tbh. He's unattached at the moment, so fitness would be a problem if we were to sign him, but surely he's worth a go? Clubs like Newcastle were interested in him, and I remember reading about him being scouted by a few lower Prem clubs a few years back when he was at Cov. Sign him up imo! Vokes, Mifsud or a combination of the two would be fantastic for us.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 Like the fact that Pardew clearly has identified that some of last seasons squad just aren't footballers. No-one else wants them either. Maybe office jobs beckon. The more of last seasons chaff we can get shot of, the better for morale. So personally I'd have the players he refers to on gardening leave and away from the club, and training etc. Unless they demonstrate a change in both attitude and ability.
Badger Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 Vokes and/or Craddock would be my preferences as strikers on loan.
chrisobee Posted 1 October, 2009 Posted 1 October, 2009 wot the hell is that?:confused: Just Buzzin' Orn doing what he does best which is to post nonsense TBH !
Window Cleaner Posted 2 October, 2009 Posted 2 October, 2009 Henri Camara still kicking about ??? he was on trial somewhere the other day,Boulogne sur Mer (Ligue 1) I think. probably will get snapped up by them.

How reliable is your source?
wild-saint Posted 2 October, 2009 Posted 2 October, 2009 Ex player source again? still waiting for that benefit game against Leicester that you promised few months back? How reliable is your source? Gordon Watson. Oh GW scouts for Leicester. As for the benefit game MLT talked about arranging one and then it didnt happen because of time scales. Leicester were the team that he had lined up and that cam directly from MLT. So had no reason to doubt.
trousers Posted 2 October, 2009 Posted 2 October, 2009 Do we really want another player who would rather be somewhere else? (I.e. Campbell?) lol on the train moment re: "vokes wagon" btw!

I can't help it but I have grave doubts to whether we'll ever go anywhere under Pas Dieu. Too early to tell IMO re the manager. Pas Dieu is interesting ART - is that the origin of Pardew (Etymologically)? And if so what would that translate to - Not God, not religious, heathen, etc.

Give it to Ron Posted 2 October, 2009 Posted 2 October, 2009 DJ Campbell can't be that attached to Leicester...wasn't he at Blackpool last year....good dive for a penalty?
krissyboy31 Posted 2 October, 2009 Posted 2 October, 2009 DJ Campbell can't be that attached to Leicester...wasn't he at Blackpool last year....good dive for a penalty? Maybe it's dropping back down a division?
fish fingers Posted 2 October, 2009 Posted 2 October, 2009 I used to watch DJ Campbell play for Stevenage, he was quite good at times. Hope this information is of use.
beavis17 Posted 2 October, 2009 Posted 2 October, 2009 also something interesting i noticed on the bbc gossip column this morning reading are willing to let jay tabb go out on loan, a player that has always caused us problems and a very good winger which is what we're crying out for atm

Chez Posted 2 October, 2009 Posted 2 October, 2009 also something interesting i noticed on the bbc gossip column this morning reading are willing to let jay tabb go out on loan, a player that has always caused us problems and a very good winger which is what we're crying out for atm I remember him tearing us apart at Brentford in the cup several years back now. Very small but with ability. Was surprised Coverntry let him go to Reading to be honest, but perhaps he only did the business against us.
saint_stevo Posted 2 October, 2009 Posted 2 October, 2009 DJ Campbell hates Leicester and there fans apparently.....plenty on the Leicester 606 about it
oxfordshire_saint Posted 2 October, 2009 Posted 2 October, 2009 DJ Campbell would fit the bill IMO, got pace to burn and would be a tricky player for opposition defences to handle at this level. Anyone who is still suggesting Sam Vokes needs a reality check, yes he supports us but I can only see Wolves lending him out to a Championship side, no lower.
Kadeem Hardison Posted 2 October, 2009 Posted 2 October, 2009 Back to this argument again then? we should definitely not be playing with a loan striker up front. Evry time Lambert has playd as the loan striker we have struggeld to score and in fact have conceeded. Attack is the best form of defence. Id even suggest 3 up front, but would settle for 2. Anything but a loan striker. I hope pardew is reading this as Im prety sure we are all agreed about it.

Just in case you're being serious and not on the wind up.....LOAN striker, not LONE striker...i.e. A borrowed striker...
Glasgow_Saint Posted 2 October, 2009 Posted 2 October, 2009 Just in case you're being serious and not on the wind up.....LOAN striker, not LONE striker...i.e. A borrowed striker... The guy is on a hunger strike - perhaps hes gone slightly dollaly?
Junction 9 Posted 2 October, 2009 Posted 2 October, 2009 I take it from this that Pardew is thinking of playing 5 in midfield with Papa wide right? He played in that position most of the time against Bristol anyway. The only positives I can see from this is that it might stop us leaking late goals, I'm just worried it's too much for Lambert to do on his own.

LOAN striker is a borrowed striker, as opposed to LONE striker - a striker borrowed from another club. We want to bring a striker in on loan, not play 1 up front. Unless the pair of you are on the wind up, which makes me look the silly one!
