Son of Bob Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 According to Twitter. 3.5 year contract. Now official on OS. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/Home/0,,10280,00.html
hypochondriac Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 As I said on another thread, underwhelmed and not really what I was expecting after talk of signing Ward. Bit disappointed with that and he was gash against us.
Rocker268 Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Yep it just came up @officialsaints Saints sign Exeter City defender Daniel Seaborne on a 3 and a half year contract. See http://www.saintsfc.co.uk for full details #saintsfc
Saint_Ash Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Nice, back up to Fonte and Harding I reckon.
James Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 its on their website http://www.exetercityfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10436~1930971,00.html
S-Clarke Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 never seen him play tbf. he's one of those ''either love or hate'' players for exeter and he's not a regular for them by any means. i hope this is just a squad depth signing, would hate for this to be instead of ward.
Saint_clark Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1930993,00.html
St Chalet Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Official Saints Twitter says he is a right back.
Matthew Le God Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 its on their website http://www.exetercityfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10436~1930971,00.html But still not on Saints OS
CWD Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 hmmm thats a surprise - thought it would be Ward. Happy though -Stock next please Well done AP on building for the future and getting in a player wanted by championship clubs
hypochondriac Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 What's the point? It's not like we desperately need him or he's much better than what we already have. Bizarre signing.
Smirking_Saint Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 That'll do, some defensive backup wouldn't go amiss, plus if us and norwich were after him then i am sure the boy cdagj
Saint_clark Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 What's the point? It's not like we desperately need him or he's much better than what we already have. Bizarre signing. How do you know? Personally I look forward to seeing him play. If Pardew rates him then he must have something about him.
Stattmeister Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 So, if its on the Official Twitter Feed, but not the OS, isn't someone going to get slapped wrists there, given the rhetoric of not "official" until confirmed on the website? Marginally underwhelmed given the talk of Ward (who at 24 still has bags to offer in terms of experience, and indeed potential to develop). However, in Pardew we trust - I personally can't fault any of his dealings thus far.
hypochondriac Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 More to the point, where on Earth would he play? I can't see him in the starting lineup.
saintray Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Jesus what is it with us saints fans! Put a downer on him already! In pardew we trust! Im actually quite excited with this, with fonte we know what to expect but i really dont have a clue what to except with seaborne, Sounds like good cover. Well done all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
hypochondriac Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 How do you know? Personally I look forward to seeing him play. If Pardew rates him then he must have something about him. Well if he's much better then Fonte Jaidi or Harding I would be amazed.
Saint_clark Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 More to the point, where on Earth would he play? I can't see him in the starting lineup. No, but he's backup. Jaidi can't play every game, and Harding hasn't had a rest since the start of the season.
Pancake Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1930993,00.html
Saint_Ash Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 FFS people give him a chance! We now have a young solid defender on the books that probably cost pittance, we're looking at building a "Squad" that can cope with a sh1tload of fixtures till the end of the season. Beyond this season we won't see the likes of Perry/Jaidi/Thomas around for much longer. A decent squad signing and we haven't finished yet so why don't people stop whinging and give the lad a chance, also wait until the window has shut then we can analyse the transfer and whinge if need be!

Im actually quite excited with this, with fonte we know what to expect but i really dont have a clue what to except with seaborne, Sounds like good cover. Well done all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I think people are disappointed that we seem to have missed out on Ward. I also think there were other areas that needed strengthening before this signing and it seems odd to me that we've gone for it considering the options we already have in defence.
Gambol2K9 Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 If Perry and/or Thomas are off then Seaborne will be a good replacement as a squad player. I'd be concerned if Pardew had him lined up as a first choice CB though. No idea how much we paid for him, but Pardew's signings have all been top notch so far, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one!
Miltonaggro Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 At 22 and 6ft 3" he should be a very good addition to the squad, and solid back up for Jaidi, Fonte or indeed Harding. Good shout Pards...
hypochondriac Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 No, but he's backup. Jaidi can't play every game, and Harding hasn't had a rest since the start of the season. I would have played Mills LB to give Harding a rest. I accept he could be backup for Jaidi I'm just a bit deflated that Ward is likely to not be signing now after thinking he was last night.
Huntingdon Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Why are people disappointed? AP is trying to put a strong squad together & Seaborne is highly rated He's a better option than Lancashire, and can play left-back, so is probably better than Mills or Molyneaux too
Gambol2K9 Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 A decent squad signing and we haven't finished yet so why don't people stop whinging and give the lad a chance, also wait until the window has shut then we can analyse the transfer and whinge if need be! Spot on, only Pardew knows the complete picture right now, we can only speculate. Let's wait and see, for all we know there could be another big signing announced any day now!
iansums Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 What's the point? It's not like we desperately need him or he's much better than what we already have. Bizarre signing. Clearly AP is also thinking about him as not just a CB but also as back-up to Harding.
Saint_Jonny Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Sounds like a good signing to me, i'm happy with whats happened so far. Really really really want Saints to offload alot of the hangers on now though!
Andy_Porter Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 More to the point, where on Earth would he play? I can't see him in the starting lineup. Squad player, squad game, young, time to develop, most of our defenders wrong side of 30 etc
OldNick Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Let's see him play first. He didnt stand out when we played them here.
hypochondriac Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Why are people disappointed? AP is trying to put a strong squad together & Seaborne is highly rated He's a better option than Lancashire, and can play left-back, so is probably better than Mills or Molyneaux too Mills did well for S****horpe. I just think there are quite a few other areas where we needed to strengthen before leftback. I would like to have seen Mills be given a chance before bringing someone in.
Soggy Bottom Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 So does that mean there's one left ? Stock or Danns ?
hypochondriac Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Squad player, squad game, young, time to develop, most of our defenders wrong side of 30 etc He was terrible when he played down here.
S-Clarke Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 ''The player himself has already set his sights on a regular place in the Saints team on completion of his move.'' to me, that line suggests he's been told he isn't a ''certain starter'' and has been brought in to add depth, but will be given the oppertunity to prove himself... i really hope this wasn't instead of ward...
CWD Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 I really dont understand people's negative response to this.... If reports are to be believed then Leicester, Notts Forest and Norwich were all after him (to name a few), he is 22, built like a the proverbial brick house and highly rated by Exeter fans. He will learn from Perry and Jaidi and grow into a top PL CB, or at least i assume that is the aim. Welcome Dan, I for one am happy to have you here. Dont be put off by the less than warm welcome from the minority
Clifford Nelson Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Seaborne has not been signed as cover. He has got the expectations to play regularly acc to OS. Replacing who? Is Jaidi badly injured and unlikely to return?
Judge_B Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 I think people are disappointed that we seem to have missed out on Ward. I also think there were other areas that needed strengthening before this signing and it seems odd to me that we've gone for it considering the options we already have in defence. I think YOU'RE disappointed that we seem to have missed out on Ward. I think the rest of us are putting our faith in a management team that have done very well so far, and are hopefully not basing their opinion on whether he played well or not against us
Andy_Porter Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 He was terrible when he played down here. Ill trust your judgement on that, I can't really remember any individual Exeter performances. Apparently it's 275k upfront 100k if we're promoted in the next 3 years and 100k after 20 games. That's lifted from an Exeter forum, from some poster who called the transfer a few days ago the general consensus is that he's a decent player but replaceable for that money. Sounds like a Jaidi type who'd rather just get rid of the ball than try and pass to feet.
warsash saint Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Give the managers job to Hypo...he knows best;)
Smirking_Saint Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 There is probably no chance of ward now, i would imagine this deal was rushed through as the something happened with the Ward deal. I would love to see Ward here still mind but obviously this boy is one for the future, he may have had an off day against us but lets just see how he does shall we ?? More concerning is that i think DS was one of pardews two remaining transfers, i hope not !!!!!!
hypochondriac Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Clearly AP is also thinking about him as not just a CB but also as back-up to Harding. Which I would prefer to give Mills a chance.
S-Clarke Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Sounds like a Jaidi type who'd rather just get rid of the ball than try and pass to feet. yeah that's what kind of suggests he's cover for Jaidi more than anything, as pard's has been trying to get away from us hoofing it at the back, i can't imagine he'll go straight into the team to increase that!
CWD Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 OK so say we have missed out on Ward, surely its better to sign someone than nobody at all? it just shows me that the management are not just looking at one player and putting all our eggs in one basket.
Window Cleaner Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Let's see him play first. He didnt stand out when we played them here. Hopes to be in the team against Millwall, or so it says on the OS
