Smirking_Saint Posted 14 January, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedAndWhite91 Posted 14 January, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenevaSaint Posted 14 January, 2010 Share Posted 14 January, 2010 With Murty's injury problems very happy with this 6 month contract signing as cover at RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corky morris Posted 14 January, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Marco Posted 14 January, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 14 January, 2010 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 14 January, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Andy_Porter Posted 14 January, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 14 January, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 14 January, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Porter Posted 14 January, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 14 January, 2010 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxstone Posted 14 January, 2010 Share 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxstone Posted 14 January, 2010 Share 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 !
