martel Posted 22 January, 2010 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 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!
corsacar saint Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 Another very good signing. ML and NC, have kept all their promises and more.[ I love this club more each day].
Saint Mike Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 Pretty sure he can't play tomorrow as signed after the draw was made ... although would love to be proved wrong!!
Elias Posted 22 January, 2010 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. He's wearing number 10 in the training picture on the OS. Maybe Wotton has swapped numbers.
Red&White Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 This is a good signing for us now all we need is a nasty midfield general.
Saint Mike Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 Pretty sure he can't play tomorrow as signed after the draw was made ... although would love to be proved wrong!! Scrub that, apparently my colleague next to me informs me I'm talking rubbish! Apologies!
Midfield_General Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 This is a good signing for us now all we need is a nasty midfield general. Yeah I'm in. And I hate you.
sandwichsaint Posted 22 January, 2010 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! COYRs
Stepgar Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 **** a brick. That'll do. You really do have some grange pasttimes or wishes! ;-)
The9 Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 He's wearing number 10 in the training picture on the OS. Maybe Wotton has swapped numbers. You're not allowed to do that during a season. It's just a training bib, means nothing.
doggface Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 No he is not 10 that is taken, lambo is wearing a bib with 9 on it & he is our number 7.
Foxstone Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 Good acquisition and welcome to The Saints Lee ! Another signal of intent from ML/NC and AP - We are going for promotion ladies and gents !
Matthew Le God Posted 22 January, 2010 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 Posted 22 January, 2010 It'll be 17 or 27 unless Gillett completes a permanent move by COB today.
brightspark Posted 22 January, 2010 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
The9 Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 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! 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.
sperm_john Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 excellent signing, that's all I have to say! one midfielder now and I'll be a happy chappy after this transfer window..
The9 Posted 22 January, 2010 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. Edited 22 January, 2010 by The9
SNSUN Posted 22 January, 2010 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!
beavis17 Posted 22 January, 2010 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! totally agree, still think we will see Garvan/Stock and Lisbie/Jackson to really set us up for a strong finish
sussexsaint Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 He is about 5 inches shorter and a very different sort of player. Like Marian?
Under Weststand Posted 22 January, 2010 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 Posted 22 January, 2010 Looks like good business. Incidentally, is it just me, and am I retarded, cause I still can't get used to us signing proven players rather than hopefuls ?? (All answers considered)
alpine_saint Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 It'll be 17 or 27 unless Gillett completes a permanent move by COB today. 17 it is. A good omen, Marian's number or bad omen, Idiotkez's number ?
Scudamore Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 17 it is. A good omen, Marian's number or bad omen, Idiotkez's number ? Or just a number...
Arizona Posted 22 January, 2010 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. Get rid of Wotton in summer and give it to Connolly or Barnard.
scotty Posted 22 January, 2010 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;)
sussexsaint Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 glass half empty;) TBF for so long the glass has been completely empty and smelled of day old p iss, so a half full glass is a considerable step up
Northant Saint Posted 22 January, 2010 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.
scotty Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 TBF for so long the glass has been completely empty and smelled of day old p iss, so a half full glass is a considerable step up lol, sad but true
wightman35 Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 glass half empty;) Just remember the last summer, think what could have happened to us and SMILE.
martel Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 Another very good signing. ML and NC, have kept all their promises and more.[ I love this club more each day]. Hello corsacar, as a non subscribing member I did not get your pm, sorry, but from what you said it appears you may know me? Martel

Get rid of Wotton in summer and give it to Connolly or Barnard. may have been covered but he had 10 in in the pictures on the O.S didnt he....
1976_Child Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 super duper signing. Now all we need is a strong mid-fielder and change the crap Carlsberg to a decent lager and we have the perfect club setup! Well done Mssrs Pardew, Cortese and of course Liebherr!
Andy_Porter Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 may have been covered but he had 10 in in the pictures on the O.S didnt he.... And Rickie Lambert had number nine on, I think they probably just use 1-11 in training.
CWD Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 YES exactly what I wanted to come home to after an appalling lecture I said at the start of the window that i would be delighted if we managed to get Barnard or Jackson - and we've done it! Great squad now
saint_stevo Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 And Rickie Lambert had number nine on, I think they probably just use 1-11 in training. true. good man
Ekelund24 Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 And Rickie Lambert had number nine on, I think they probably just use 1-11 in training. Maybe the training bids indicate the traditional position number and Barnard and Lambert being 9 and 10 will start upfront together tomorrow. Although, not sure if they practice as the following days team in training especially not when cameras present!!
Toadhall Saint Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 Yeah I'm in. And I hate you. You? Your just a pussy cat!!
Saint_clark Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 F*cking great signing. If we don't go up this season, next year is gonna be bloody fun.
scotty Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 Just remember the last summer, think what could have happened to us and SMILE. I am smiling, look at the post I replied to . Well pleased with this signing, and the others in this window
SFC Forever Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 To be fair there are a lot of happy smiling faces about right now. Could also mean a few more bums on seats tomorrow as well.
doggface Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 Good signing and despite lack of pace I think barney gives us something different.
Ponty Posted 22 January, 2010 Posted 22 January, 2010 fair point tbf. Not really. Leeds has it's crap parts, as does Southampton, but the nightlife, shopping and culture knocks Southampton for six.
