norwaysaint Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 A left-winger would be lovely please Pards, Lallana's great on the left but I can't help thinking that a good quality left-footed player would do us the absolute world of good and really give our team a great balance. It'd also give us a few more crosses for Lambert and Connolly to snap up. Agreed, Lallana needs dropping down to the reserves/youth team for a while to mature and find his form.
John B Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Agreed, Lallana needs dropping down to the reserves/youth team for a while to mature and find his form. Lallana is not a left winger and I agree we need one
dubai_phil Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Lallana is not a left winger and I agree we need one Agree. But, assuming we find one, how would you set up the midfield? New LW ----- Morgan/Hammond ------ Lallana -------- Papa? What about the need for a DM? Lallana is at the moment pretty much the second name on any team sheet after Lambo, the problem comes in finding a position for him with the rest of the midfield having a balance. The Papa/Antonio double act on the right gives us the threat of raw pace which Lallana doesn't have, could we find a LW that has experience, pace and knows the offside law? Balancing the side is not easy with him in it, but he (like MLT) has to be made to fit into a system. Would we need a LW with a diamond formation? Who'd be a manager? Anyway let's hope if it is Ward that Pards has pulled another nugget out of the hat
SO16_Saint Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 how do people get sources for these rumours?? I've been on this planet for 28 years, and know exactly noone who is remotely ITK or anyone who has got a clue about any rumours - football related or otherwise. i feel very left out right now....

Mustapha Fag Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 My thoughts exactly 4-4-1-1 Lallana playing off Lambert
John B Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 4-4-1-1 Lallana playing off Lambert No need a proper striker
ringwood Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Lallana in the Sherringham position, ie just behind the lead striker, then you need a wotton behind Spider and Hammond, leaves option of left or right winger depending on perceived opposition weakness. Needs a Wotton though to protect our current CB's, as in that position it stops the runners getting a head of steam up, So that would mean DC, PW, MA,LH all being interchangeable with both AL and RL and fighting for the wide slot Means RL or AL could be rested etc and team still play the same shape.

Bartosz Bialkowski Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 How on earth do you "simulate the market"?? Football Manager?? The echo quoted that too, i'm pretty sure he said/meant stimulate...
Faz Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 I think you'll find all the top managers use FM to simulate the market before making a bid. It's standard practice as they don't want to be caught out by saddos on message boards and looking as though they haven't done thier homework. Sadly FM has lead to the almost total demise of the traditional scouting network - what's the point when you have a ready made one for 19.99?

kpturner Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 The Cov Telegraph is usually quite reliable.LOL - They just pulled out the quote from BBC Radio Solent!

Colinjb Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 LOL - They just pulled out the quote from BBC Radio Solent! Regardless they don't let these things run unless they know there is a ring of truth to it!
niceandfriendly Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Elliott Wards arms are really similar to Ricky Lamberts. Perhaps this is why we're going for him?
patred44 Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Hardman ..teeshirt in -5 don't make em like that now
saint_stevo Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 So saints devo am I still sprouting enough ****? guess you mean spouting? what has changed exactly?

Even Chelsea's head scout admitted using it to scout for young talent. I must say, it's a good tool. Most of the players have their ability controlled by fans, so it's representative of actual opinion, rather than just random numbers assigned to players.

Yup, any club would be daft not to use it (but dafter still to rely on it!)
Tac-tics Posted 5 January, 2010 Author Posted 5 January, 2010 guess you mean spouting? what has changed exactly? The bid has been accepted.
Matthew Le God Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Always funny to think when another team is linked to a Saints player, their fan forums base opinions using my view of said Saints player on FM.
Tac-tics Posted 5 January, 2010 Author Posted 5 January, 2010 HP? That would be telling. Say sorry and I'll tell you.
kpturner Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Regardless they don't let these things run unless they know there is a ring of truth to it!LOLed even more.
Tac-tics Posted 5 January, 2010 Author Posted 5 January, 2010 i really dont care. Probably Don Hutchison Steve darling, Steve. If your going to be an arsehole, do it properly.
Thedelldays Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 so..what has been accepted for whom and how much..?
kpturner Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Steve darling, Steve. If your going to be an arsehole, do it properly.he ain't called Steve
Saint_clark Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 so..what has been accepted for whom and how much..? £300k for Elliott Ward, £250k for Lee Barnard. Do try to keep up
Tac-tics Posted 5 January, 2010 Author Posted 5 January, 2010 he ain't called Steve well thats odd. well I'll call hiim steve as I'm sure it's his alter ego that posts on here and he's a pleasant chap in person.:smt083
Saint_clark Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 What about skacel ?? Unveiled on the pitch on saturday.
Smirking_Saint Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Unveiled on the pitch on saturday. And the world cup bid ??
Saint_clark Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 And the world cup bid ?? Liebherr has been informed by FIFA that there's no point in bidding, as they will not give the world cup to England under any circumstances.
Smirking_Saint Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Liebherr has been informed by FIFA that there's no point in bidding, as they will not give the world cup to England under any circumstances. Oh well, one out of two then
Toadhall Saint Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 The bid has been accepted. Just out of minor interest - when will it be publicly announced?
Saint_clark Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 I told everyone yesterday 16:45 on Wednesday Is that the new friday?
gaz Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 What about skacel ?? He's opening a Jam shop. It was on Wikipedia so it must be true.
H Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Unveiled on the pitch on saturday. No he wasn't (...unless it was at half-time when I was getting a pint).
SfcPhil Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 No he wasn't (...unless it was at half-time when I was getting a pint). Wooosh
