Saint Fan CaM Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 From the sound of it, Barnie will be partnering Lambo up front which is a mouth-watering prospect to say the least. I think Rickie will be scoring a few more goals now too because defences will just not be able to handle the pair of them AND the likes of Lallana, Antonio and Waigo pitching in too. Overall excellent signing - shows the intent has not gone away (far from it!) and all we need now is as I've been saying for a couple of months is a strong attacking central midfielder. THANK YOU once again Markus and Nicola for supporting AP and giving us something to cheer about. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewell Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Welcome aboard Lee I really hope you do well. My one concern is Lambert and Barnard up front seems a little short on pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Welcome aboard Lee I really hope you do well. My one concern is Lambert and Barnard up front seems a little short on pace. The pace will come from the wings. Barnard still fast enough to cause a threat at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Porter Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 As long as we have pace in the wide areas it should be fine. Lambert, Barnard, Waigo and Lallana would be fine, replace Lallana and Waigo with Holmes and James and we'd lack any penetration. Personally I think when Connollys fit he will start, Barnard will probably end up playing more games. Can't see Connolly being able to play twice a week so I imagine they'll rotate a fair bit.

dubai_phil Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Good, no idea about him, but I have been worried about cover for Lambert, and we've taken action to solve that problem.

exit2 Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Have been told LB was very very sharp today in training at Staplewood and will most likely start up front with Lambert if not will be defo in bench. Personally I think this will be great as to be fair to RL although he can finish he isnt the worlds quickest So I suspect LB will play off him.

Chez Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 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. its a silly question because YOU don't rate him? Well thanks for that. I didn't realise you opinion was fact. As regards your poll, it doesn't adress my question at all. Is Barnard actually better than Paterson is what I asked, not which player fans want. I was after responses from people that know what Paterson is all about and really know Barnard having seen him a fair bit. So thanks for you response. It was worthless.

Chez Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Said he was looking for a Mellis replacement on Solent last weekend as well, would be nice to get a proper goal scoring midfielder in. did he mean a midfielder that gets into the box or just another central midfielder because Melis had left him one short?

Andy_Porter Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 did he mean a midfielder that gets into the box or just another central midfielder because Melis had left him one short? He didn't say, just said something along the lines of needing another body in midfield because Mellis wasn't coming back. I was hoping we'd bring in an attacking midfielder but after the Stock link it looks like it will be another in the Hammond/Schneiderlin mould, agree that we really need someone who's going to bust a gut getting into the box not another deep lying midfielder.
