Saintandy666 Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Do we hate our defence?! We need a midfielder!!!!!!
John B Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 John Ostembor...didn't see that one coming!!1 Was on the Echo Rumour Article
Smirking_Saint Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Nice, thats a CB as needed and a defender as needed plus pardew has said that he wants a midfielder !!!!!!! Great news !!!!!! Press call at 1pm
RedAndWhite91 Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 He was mentioned on here last night, I reckon it is a good signing. Only 26 and has experience. Yeah, happy with that. At last we will have a natural right back other than Murty. Stock next please
GenevaSaint Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 With Murty's injury problems very happy with this 6 month contract signing as cover at RB.
S-Clarke Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Do we hate our defence?! We need a midfielder!!!!!! reading on the OS, we might not get one. it states ''to allow james to move into his natrual midfield position...''
corky morris Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 I think he is a decent player. I remember him playing for Crewe & Norwich against us & thinking he was decent. Good deal IMHO for free.
channonball Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Excellent news. Build from the back. We can score plenty already.
JRM Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 why have Norwich released him? and what do their fans think?
St Marco Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Yeah he is not a bad player, as mentioned was in the leagues team of the year. A 6 month deal is wise and as it is a free we have not lost anything other then wages.
S-Clarke Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 why have Norwich released him? and what do their fans think? '' That should stop them in their tracks ! On The Ball City ! Never Mind...''
ribbo Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 nice one, a free as well hopefully we can all stop moaning about right back
Sour Mash Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Don't know enough about him to be honest, but have to wonder why Norwich don't feel the need to hold onto him? Norwich are one of the teams we are competing with, if he's not good enough for them, then is he right for us?
Glasgow_Saint Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 why have Norwich released him? and what do their fans think? Seem very pleased he's left! http://www.pinkun.com/cs_pinkun/cs/forums/1959516/ShowPost.aspx
hypochondriac Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Don't care what anyone says, I'm getting initial concerns about the level of player we are buying when opposition fans are calling him a load tosh. I hope he's wrong and we did need a right back. Lets hope Pardew got the right man.
doughnutman Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Don't know enough about him to be honest, but have to wonder why Norwich don't feel the need to hold onto him? Norwich are one of the teams we are competing with, if he's not good enough for them, then is he right for us? Aren't they a bit unsound financially at the minute? Perhaps Ostemobor was too expensive for them to keep if they had other RB options
Rogerfryisalegend Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Don't know enough about him to be honest, but have to wonder why Norwich don't feel the need to hold onto him? Norwich are one of the teams we are competing with, if he's not good enough for them, then is he right for us?They have money trouble, need to get the bills down. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/norwich/8457535.stm
Delmary Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Don't know enough about him to be honest, but have to wonder why Norwich don't feel the need to hold onto him? Norwich are £22M in debt. That's why. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/norwich/8457535.stm
Andy_Porter Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Good signing. Guess that means Thomas won't have any sort of future with us now. If he's an attacking full back then maybe a right side of James and Ostemebor is the way forward makes our 4-4-2 a bit more defensive and still gives us a decent threat down the right hand side. Could setup a bit like Bridgey and Marsden did down the left for Strachan. Then there's the option to bring on Waigo and change the game.
JRM Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Seem very pleased he's left! http://www.pinkun.com/cs_pinkun/cs/forums/1959516/ShowPost.aspx hahahahaha there are some quality comments there. clearly not a player they will miss, and are surprised that we would want to take him on. someone should print that norwich thread and send it to Pardew to use as motivation for Ostemobor, prove them all wrong etc etc.
Sour Mash Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Well reading the Wikipedia site (yeah I know) on his career it doesn't sound amazing. Half decent squad player with a bit of pace I guess.
Smirking_Saint Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Lets not start slagging him off already !!! James was slammed through a lack of pace, this guy HAS pace in abundance. Lets see how he does, i have faith in pardew to get the best out of him, a la spiderman and lallana
Andy_Porter Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Do we hate our defence?! We need a midfielder!!!!!! Is that a joke? It's been clear for ages our defence has been our problem. Lack of a proper right back, lack of a defender who can play the ball from the back and no one to cover Jaidi with Trottman leaving. We've now fixed all those problem and you're still having a moan! We've been scoring goals for fun, it's the other end causing us problems. Hopefully Fonte, Ostemebor and Seaborne sort that out.
david in sweden Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Yep, wonder who? WHEN was the last time Saints signed 3 players inside a week in the January window ? ..and it's only Thursday!
Foxstone Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 A good signing but... ANOTHER bloomin defender, can we at least try and sign someone creative now please!?!? Our biggest achilles heel for some years never mind this season is our defence! Pards and NC are sorting this out superbly well this week. Maybe we can start to keep more clean sheets now than we have done. Very happy !
hypochondriac Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Our biggest achilles heel for some years never mind this season is our defence! Pards and NC are sorting this out superbly well this week. Maybe we can start to keep more clean sheets now than we have done. Very happy ! I really want a midfielder.
ottery st mary Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 WHEN was the last time Saints signed 3 players inside a week in the January window ? ..and it's only Thursday! Friday is almost upon us as well....You know what might happen on Friday:D
Glasgow_Saint Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Friday is almost upon us as well....You know what might happen on Friday:D sell some players?
saint_stevo Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 2 players in 2 days the opposing fans are happy to have got rid of. Cool
ottery st mary Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 sell some players? Agreed...... We just might have to Give most away..will be easier:rolleyes:r
Foxstone Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Don't care what anyone says, I'm getting initial concerns about the level of player we are buying when opposition fans are calling him a load tosh. I hope he's wrong and we did need a right back. Lets hope Pardew got the right man. Just like we did with Fuller, Delap and Telfer. All of who moved elsewhere to great effect - and not being boo'ed ! One persons poison is another persons meat !
Huffton Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Friday is almost upon us as well....You know what might happen on Friday:D Skacel might sign?
Give it to Ron Posted 14 January, 2010 Posted 14 January, 2010 Don't care what anyone says, I'm getting initial concerns about the level of player we are buying when opposition fans are calling him a load tosh. I hope he's wrong and we did need a right back. Lets hope Pardew got the right man. Yeah Fonte was such a sh1te signing!!! I think they should take everything sharp away from you IF we sign Pericard
