SFC Forever Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 Come the end of the January window I feel certain that we will have a bloody good idea of next seasons title winning side. Maybe one or two additions after the season ends to wrap it all up big time.
RoundHill-Saint Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 Hasn't really played for 2 years though. Let's hope he's still got it .. you never lose it, i played last night first time in two years....and i was musterd!!! UP THE SAINTS
ART Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 Indeed! He ticks all the right boxes when it comes to signing injured legends. High time we changed the name of Staplewood to Degadowood in honour of all past groin injury signings.
VectisSaint Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 you never lose it, i played last night first time in two years....and i was musterd!!! Full of gas?
Chez Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 I'm slightly surprised at the overiding joy at the signing of an extremely injury prone 32+ striker that hasn't played for two years. I hope he can still cut the mustard, but I think I'll reign in my excitement for now. Best of luck David, if you find your range quickly the fans will back you for a long long time after.
greg_hill Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 Great signing! I expressed my first doubts about Pardew when we lost to Bristol but he's made some great transfer moves and I believe the results will come.
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 you never lose it , i played last night first time in two years....and i was musterd!!! UP THE SAINTS I too have never lost it - but only because I never had it in the first place .
Andy_Porter Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 I still think we will stick to our 4-2-3-1 type formation for the majority of games with Connolly coming off the bench. It's been clear since Swindon away that Pardew wants us playing in that way and I don't think this signing will change much. I'm glad we've signed a proven goal scorer but I can't see one of our midfielders dropping out for him regularly. Hopefully this will give Saga a kick up the arse, well hopefully he will go on loan he hasn't done anything for ages.

I was the same but according to the OS he has been training with us for almost a month now and has looked in great shape.
LostBoys Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 Could be good if he stays fit. As posted earlier if we can get Voltz on a free as well and another midfielder we are in good shape for promotion this year.
Colinjb Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 Could be good if he stays fit. As posted earlier if we can get Voltz on a free as well and another midfielder we are in good shape for promotion this year. Can't believe he is only 26! And still unattached. Have we been directly linked to him or is this just wishful thinking?
Under Weststand Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 Potentially a very good signing, if he can stay fit & has the desire to get back to his best then as AP says could be one of the bargains of the season. So welcome David lets hope it all goes well for you & Saints.

hypochondriac Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 32 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Connolly Think he means Voltz.
disconnect Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 As multiple accounts are against the forum rules I wouldn't complain too much. Cheers Ponty, good job I finally found which old email address I set this account up with!
NY Saint Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 This from AP talks about Southend and signing of DC Thanks Waggy - had no idea there was a Saints Youtube channel.
Tractor_Saint Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 Thanks Waggy - had no idea there was a Saints Youtube channel. +1 - have now subscribed tho
NickG Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=446337&page=4 four pages of comments and not a single negative one about him or saints
up and away Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 Potentially a very good signing, if he can stay fit & has the desire to get back to his best then as AP says could be one of the bargains of the season. So welcome David lets hope it all goes well for you & Saints. If he was anywhere near full fitness or about to be soon, there would be a host of CCC clubs knocking his door down. It's a gamble which I can fully understand, because if he does not get fit we will still be developing the younger players. If the gamble come off we really have hit it big:).
trousers Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=446337&page=4 four pages of comments and not a single negative one about him or saints this one isn't negative towards him or saints but doesn't paint a wonderful picture either. I'm not saying he won't do a job for us though... "TBF go back a 6/7 months and Connolly was getting dogs abuse on here and people were saying we should pay off his contract, injured or not etc and there was loads of venom towards him when things weren't going so well. Despite not many people realising around that time he was somewhere in Holland desperately trying to prove his fitness to a club. I think since then a few may have cottoned onto the fact injuries have probably ruined him and he's been lucky to get a club after failing a trial at QPR among other places."
Saints foreva Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 This bit in the artical on the OS made me cringe: "MK Dons (formerly Wimbledon)"
Tac-tics Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 Is there anything solid in the Voltz connection? Or speculation
Colinjb Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 Is there anything solid in the Voltz connection? Or speculation You tell us.
Tac-tics Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 I wish I could but I cant, I was only there for two bloody days! Btw I can now reveal my source, Puli* - have a guess
niceandfriendly Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 I wish I could but I cant, I was only there for two bloody days! Btw I can now reveal my source, Puli* - have a guess So not only is Anthony Pulis a dodgy footballer, he's a pretty bad source of information too judging by what you told us.
david in sweden Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1820509,00.html .and what makes it even MORE intersting IMHO is that we have a new strategy when it comes to the PR side of things. Before it was always .. The Sun or NOTW , or Sky tips that we are interested in player X Rumours of club secret meetings with X (and his agent) Pix.of X coming to SMS X is discussing terms with the club.......a fee is rumoured. X signs together with pux of him with number ... ...it was all a bit predictable and uncertain upto the end. BUT NOW .suddenly a good signing (Connelly,) and he's been secretly training with us for 3 weeks. ........and it's stayed secret no ITK threads. Great begosh and begorrah (!) another class international striker . It gives it all more thrill and excitement. It may not be in the same class as the Keegan signing, but adds a lot of flavour of secrecy and surprise to everything . well done AP!
Colinjb Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 I wish I could but I cant, I was only there for two bloody days! Btw I can now reveal my source, Puli* - have a guess lol. Fair enough! It was a cracking two days.
Saint_clark Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 This bit in the artical on the OS made me cringe: "MK Dons (formerly Wimbledon)" Isn't that because when he played for them they WERE Wimbledon, and some retards might check his record and go "hang on a minute....."
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 Fantastic signing, but not quite good enough for the usual forum mongs. It might be worth remembering that we are in League 1 for a reason, and that signing a player of Conolly's pedigree is a major coup for a league 1 club. We are definatley moving in the right direction. Well done Alan Pardew.

hoozonside10 Posted 9 October, 2009 Posted 9 October, 2009 I cant get too excited about this signing. Players never seem to come back well after long term injuries (Killer being a prime example) although I'm sure someone will quote the complete opposite. Hope to be proved wrong but I'm not pinning my hopes on this one...just yet!
NickG Posted 10 October, 2009 Posted 10 October, 2009 Last 6 games; 12 goals (Jaidi 1) Waigo 4 Lambert 3 Lallana 4 Waigo 4 in last three games Lallana 3 in last three games and two more for Lallana! Front 3 in rich vein of form
the great escape Posted 11 October, 2009 Posted 11 October, 2009 Connolly, Connolly, will you score a goal for me, with your left, with your right, with your head and with your knee, connolly, connolly, will you score a goal for me!!
trousers Posted 21 March, 2011 Posted 21 March, 2011 Does anyone actually know what is wrong with Connolly? I thought he was supposed to be "back in training" a few weeks ago?
trousers Posted 21 March, 2011 Posted 21 March, 2011 Hmmm....is this Connolly they're focusing on in the latest pre-match training footage (in the blue bib): http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/20110321/dan-eyes-personal-goal_2264122_2321277/0,,10280~2321277~1,00.html
Saint Charlie Posted 21 March, 2011 Posted 21 March, 2011 Does anyone actually know what is wrong with Connolly? I thought he was supposed to be "back in training" a few weeks ago? He is, has been in the videos on the OS. Just not been picked yet for the squad. Doubt he will be unless anyone gets injured, Lambert, barnard, Guly and Forte are ahead of him.

Doubt he will be unless anyone gets injured, Lambert, barnard, Guly and Forte are ahead of him. Yeah, but what a back-up (potentially, if he can stay fit for 3 or 4 games)...
Saint Charlie Posted 21 March, 2011 Posted 21 March, 2011 Yeah, but what a back-up (potentially, if he can stay fit for 3 or 4 games)... Totally, can only be a good thing, even if he has an impact in 1 or 2 games.
SaintNeil90 Posted 21 March, 2011 Posted 21 March, 2011 Yeah, but what a back-up (potentially, if he can stay fit for 3 or 4 games)... Totally, can only be a good thing, even if he has an impact in 1 or 2 games. Apart from the first goal at Oldham and the long range goal he scored at St.Marys he has done nothing.
Ekelund24 Posted 21 March, 2011 Posted 21 March, 2011 Apart from the first goal at Oldham and the long range goal he scored at St.Marys he has done nothing. You didn't go to Walsall away last year did you? He was the best player on the park and has been in most of the games he has played in, if he wasn't injured, before we signed him he would be playing at a much higher level, lower prem team probably. If he got 100% fit tomorrow he would be the best player in the squad by far
channonball Posted 21 March, 2011 Posted 21 March, 2011 "Best player in the squad by far", I don't think so. Lallana is miles better than Connolly has ever been.
saintedwill Posted 21 March, 2011 Posted 21 March, 2011 Hmmm....is this Connolly they're focusing on in the latest pre-match training footage (in the blue bib): http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/20110321/dan-eyes-personal-goal_2264122_2321277/0,,10280~2321277~1,00.html I'd love to say it is, but I've forgotten what he looks like! Is Perry Groves his ginger stepbrother?
Dark Munster Posted 21 March, 2011 Posted 21 March, 2011 Apart from the first goal at Oldham and the long range goal he scored at St.Marys he has done nothing. Yes, but he is arguably our best striker, if only he didn't spend so much time in the treatment room.
simo Posted 21 March, 2011 Posted 21 March, 2011 Yes, but he is arguably our best striker, if only he didn't spend so much time in the treatment room. This
