Suhari Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 How would you feel if we signed Lee Hughes? (Note - I am talking purely theoretically here - I have no evidence to suggest we might). 31 goals in 43 for Notts County. Big, strong target man type. Could be a decent shout as cover for Rickie next season. But.....the baggage. The type of guy you would want in a Saints shirt?
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 Notts County have just been promoted. They will be playing in the same league as us next season. Why would he be looking for a move and why would we want him? Another pointless thread.
daveygwyatt Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 You don't have to like the player off the field.. Just support them for 90 minutes on the pitch.
SuperSAINT Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 I wouldn't want him - But he is the type of player we need if we lost Lambo for any amount of time. His name did cross my mind yesterday, actually after I heard Pards talking about needing a similar type of player to Rickie. What about Alan Lee at Palace? Or Kevin Kyle?
beatlesaint Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 Notts County have just been promoted. They will be playing in the same league as us next season. Why would he be looking for a move and why would we want him? Another pointless thread. Its not actually. Their Chairman was on SSN the other day saying despite promotion they would have to sell to balance the books. Having said that without the baggage yeah, be good back up for Rickie.....but with his history no thanks.
Wiltshire Saint Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 I don't see why some people are so anti Hughes, but are happy to support other criminal types in football. For example, there was a thread on this board the other day about some Saints "fans" who were in trouble with the police for their hooligan ways. People were defending them, some even going as far as to suggest they had been set up! I would liken their behaviour with Lee Hughes behaviour. They are the same.....so why is one vilified whilst the others are adorned and glorified. Criminals are criminals.
bender Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 back up for Lambert?? Surely he would want 1st team football having already wasted a large part of his career in the slammer.
Judge_B Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 Never. On the basis that I hate his goal celebration so much, seeing him do it in a Saints shirt would make me want to vomit. Same goes for Rob Earnshaw, funnily enough
Winchester_Saint Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 No. I'm just glad we don't have a player like him or Joey Barton in our team, would be almost impossible to cheer c**ts like that
jimmysaint7 Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 criminals are criminals? so are petty thief is the same as a murderer? what a strange world you live in
Badger Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 No. No. We have to have standards Agree,and from what has been said earlier in the season I doubt this is the sort of player Marcus would want associated with the club. Him and Marlon King upfront would be brilliant. And don't forget Lee McCormack as back up for Kelvin.
Pilchards Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 Someone in the Lanbert mode would be the Luton striker where we can bring him on. Hughes is a Barnard type player so there is no need.
alpine_saint Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 And don't forget Lee McCormack as back up for Kelvin. LOL. Nice one.
IamLeGod Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 Someone in the Lanbert mode would be the Luton striker where we can bring him on. Hughes is a Barnard type player so there is no need. Have to admit i thought of him more as a poacher type than a target man. Wouldn't have him here, not that as it matters, clearly won't happen.
Stepgar Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 Never. On the basis that I hate his goal celebration so much, seeing him do it in a Saints shirt would make me want to vomit. Same goes for Rob Earnshaw, funnily enough If i just look at Rob Earnshaw, i want to puke. You would think he would have made enough money to sort out those teeth!!
SuperSAINT Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 If i just look at Rob Earnshaw, i want to puke. You would think he would have made enough money to sort out those teeth!! I think he's sorted them out hasn't he?
Stepgar Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 what was Lee committed for in the end. Was it death by dangerous driving?
Stepgar Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 I think he's sorted them out hasn't he? i wouold get a refund then!! ;-)
Turkish Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 No. I'm just glad we don't have a player like him or Joey Barton in our team, would be almost impossible to cheer c**ts like that You can hardly compare the two. Barton is a thug who has repeatedly bullied people, including his own team mates. Lee Hughes made a huge mistake, yes he was a ***** and i am sure he would do anything to turn the clock back but he has paid for his offence and should be allowed to rebuild his life, let he who is without sin cast the first stone.......

I'm in agreement with Turkish. Thing is, I am not condoning what Lee Hughes has done in the past but why do we have so much rhetoric on here? Like Turkish said, he's been more than remorseful about what happened in the past and has, by all accounts apart from the victims family, paid for his crimes. (I think we all know the sentence was way too 'light' though...) Personally, I would be uncomfortable to have Lee Hughes playing for us, but I certainly don't consider him 'murderering scum'. Anyway, we'd be taking a step back with such a divisive figure at the club, big time. If we don't have a ready made Lambert replacement (akin Jon Parkin, Alan Lee etc) then maybe we should look towards a plan B. Possibly Stocky again to knit things together in the middle?

Fair comment. It is one thing to go out with the aim to delibrately hurt someone over having too few many drinks and then getting behind the wheel? To be known i am not suggesting for one minuite that that excuses Lee for what he has done. I am sure that if anyone i knew got killed from a driver over the limit I would think differently. But (touch wood) I haven't so i can look at this type of situation without predjustice.

With you totally on that one, it doesn't excuse him because he did kill someone through his own stupidity, ignorance, arrogance, whatever it was, its not like he couldn't afford a taxi is it! But obviously having paid the consequences and done the time a man still has to make a living.
chivvy1664 Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 No thanks, their are plenty if other players in the mould that dont have the baggage.
Turkish Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 (edited) Should get Jordan Robertson back as well. How about the ex Plymouth goalkeeper too? Now there is an idea, a criminals XI GK - Luke Mccormick DEF DEF Jonathan Woodgate DEF John Terry DEF MID- David Roche- Southend player got banged up for dealing MID- Joey Barton MID Lee Bowyer ST - Partick Kluivert (innocent apparantly,hmmmmm) ST - Lee Hughes ST Marlon King Subs jamie Lawrence Marlon King Anyone think of any more? Two short for a 4-3-3 formation, not a bad team though! Edited 2 May, 2010 by Turkish
up and away Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 The only reason you could want Lee Hughes is to score goals. But after watching his goal celebrations, you would soon run deep into the inner confines of the stands to avoid witnessing such a cringing event. There is just not enough beer down there to wipe such an embarrassment from the mind, he makes "The Office" look inspirational. Just the fact he is visiting St Mary's once next season is bad enough to contemplate, let alone any further.
Big_Bald_Si Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 Him and Marlon King upfront would be brilliant. lol

Two short for a 4-3-3 formation, not a bad team though! You could add Claus and Crop Circles as well, even Beattie for that matter. Don't forget BWP as well. Hughes is not AP's type of player, AP looks for players comfortable on the ball. Nothing wrong with Hughes, just not the right style for Saints current squad.

This thread is going to end up with the hard "lads" saying how much they would like Marlon King and Hughes in our team, it makes them look hard saying they want a woman beating c*nt in our team.
Thedelldays Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 wow..good to see people are prepared to give people another chance in life... unless they are a footballer of course
saintkiptanui Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 wow..good to see people are prepared to give people another chance in life... unless they are a footballer of course Marlon King had had about 50 chances he's a c*nt of the highest, Lee hughes made a big mistake and he does deserve another chance but he's not a big target man.
Thedelldays Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 Marlon King had had about 50 chances he's a c*nt of the highest, Lee hughes made a big mistake and he does deserve another chance but he's not a bog target man. I was on about hughes
Thedelldays Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 No. Some think it's all about results, but your club has to mean something and have some standards. We moaned about lowe ruining the family club tag, so signing people like that can't be a good idea. I know a lot of players are dicks, but you have to draw the line somewhere. King, Hughes, Barton...all could do a job, but I'd find it impossible to support them. standards....would you expect to be turned down a job if you did what he did and served your sentance..?

Professor Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 Could add Nathan Dyer to the criminal's team. And some of his crimes were on the pitch. By the way, if we're having pointless threads about players who we aren't going to sign wont that make for a rather boring summer. Emile Heskey - didn't start for Villa yesterday - not saying we could sign him, but HCDAJFU......
Saints foreva Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 No ****ing way. The man is scum, the way Notts County love him makes me feel sick. They have masks of his face, they do his gay little celebration in the stands when he scores - I wonder how the family feel when they see stuff like that?

Got done on the M1 for D&D or was it something more serious
