martel Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Would you want to live in Leeds, capital of NorthernMonkeyLand ? Having been with Spurs I would guess he is a southern lad which I think always has a part to play with players changing clubs, anyway Leeds is a great place to come from, its just a lousy place to go too.

a1ex2001 Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Would be surprised if he didn't take over Paterson's number which was 17, failing that the lowest available one is 41, which is frankly rrrrrubbish. Hold on, who is/was number 27? Oh yeah, Jamie White. It's frightening to think that we have 41 players on the books with a first team number, that must be the biggest squad outside the premiership!

sandwichsaint Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Lambert, Conolly, Barnard, Waigo, Antonio, Saga, Lallana Surely the best forward options outside the prem? Roll out the Union Jacks: that's probably the first time I've ever agreed with anthing GS has ever posted on here! It looks excellent on paper, we just have to turn it into a winning combo on grass now; guess we're back to a permanent 4-4-2 (4-2-4) type situation, we really need to sort out which of Morgan and Hammo is going to be 'holding' and which is going to have the free-er role, my vote is for Hammo to hold and MS to have the free role!

Matthew Le God Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 He's wearing number 10 in the training picture on the OS. Maybe Wotton has swapped numbers. You can't change numbers mid season. It is just a training bib, means nothing. Hence why Lambert is wearing number 9 and not his number 7. Barnard imo will be number 17 vacated by Paterson.

krissyboy31 Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 It'll be 17 or 27 unless Gillett completes a permanent move by COB today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightspark Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Great signing!!! Was planning to buy a ticket to Brentford and this makes me want to go even more!!! If it wasn't for customer numbers I would have my ticket by now....... ANYWAY GREAT SIGNING GOOD LUCK LEE Think/hope he will get us around 15 more goals this season... though play offs? I still think we would be in better shape if we went up next season, after an awesome year and a trophy for winning the league. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF it does include a bunch of never-play younger players who were all we had in August, and a couple of can't-get-rid-of others... as well as a near entire team of Pardew signings.

The9 Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 (edited) It'll be 17 or 27 unless Gillett completes a permanent move by COB today. 27 is Jamie White's number, you can't give away squad numbers that are already taken by contracted players, especially when they're on the list we gave the Football League at the start of the season and haven't left. Trotman's 12 and Mellis' 35 are only Fonte and Seabourne's respectively because the loanees aren't coming back to Saints, which can't be said for certain about White at the moment.

SNSUN Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Good cheap signing, goal scoring and a replacement for Lambert. We're still a pacy striker light IMO, and a midfielder short, but otherwise we're ready to compete with the top six. If only we could take this squad and re-wind to the start of the season!

sussexsaint Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 He is about 5 inches shorter and a very different sort of player. Like Marian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Under Weststand Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Good signing really pleased with that, gives us a duel battering ram up front know. Just hope that they hit it off together, its also going to give Lambert a lot more space, which he's been struggling to find just lately. And that is going to be worth its weight in GOALS!

saintfully Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Looks like good business.

Arizona Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 I know numbers are irrelevant, but it bug me that number 10 has been a really crap midfielder ever since Davies left.

scotty Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Not sure he was worth the money and Paterson in the long run. He doesn't have the pace we so desperately need either. Still in the short term he can play tomorrow (I think) - and he will be an alternative to playing Lambert every game. glass half empty;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northant Saint Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 is he better than Patterson? A silly question I think. I don't know why everyone is so concerned about Patterson now. He never really impressed me and he has had a fair few opportunities. Barnard on the other hand is totally proven in this league, and at a perfect age. If you put a poll on this forum 'who would you rather played for saints, Patterson or Barnard?' I think you would find it would be pretty conclusive.

1976_Child Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 super duper signing.

Ekelund24 Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 And Rickie Lambert had number nine on, I think they probably just use 1-11 in training.
