mikee Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 I thought Francis was sh*te. was easily their best player today and kept lallana quiet for most of the game. Very impressed but hopefully Calderon will be even better as he is more of a marauding full back - we haven't had one of those since Bale - although Dan has his moments.

Don't know what game you were watching, Lallana ran the game!
(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 not a bandwagon..just an observation name 5 games where he was good.. he simply was sh1t with the odd decent game He certainly wasn't ****, he was class but his legs had gone. He would have been immense had we had a half decent box to box player alongside him (ie NOT viafara), but he was a luxury player and we were often left exposed because we didn't have someone good enough to cover for his weaknesses. I probably couldn't name 5 games where he was amazing but I reckon you'd struggle to name 5 games where he was '****' (if you were being honest that is).
Gordon Mockles Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 not a bandwagon..just an observation name 5 games where he was good.. he simply was sh1t with the odd decent game He was injured a lot but was not sh*t! Agreed, he didn't the best of runs with us cos of injury but was not sh*te, as you suggest. Still, if you wanna sit behind your screen & pick fights you can do so with your reflection. I'm not listing games, I struggle to remember who we played last week, but you obviously remember Bristol when he certainly wasn't the worst on the pitch so odd analogy singling out a player when the entire team were gash. You're wrong but it wouldn't be the first time. You see what you wanna see. Back on topic, Brighton must be mighty peed off but nice to see Saints getting first pickings! Makes a rare change.

The hunger was there but his body was failing, namely groin & hamstring from what I remember. I'd not bother arguing. Futile with some on here & wasted energy.
Badger Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 Even if he is only half as good as Ivan Golac he'll be a great signing ! The ultimate right back.None since have been better or anywhere near to him in my book.
NickG Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 was doing impression of his run the other day - unfortunately all around me were too young to find it funny
RonManager Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 The ultimate right back.None since have been better or anywhere near to him in my book. Not even the mighty Joe Kirkup?
Dellman Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 The ultimate right back was Bill Ellerington in his day (I think he is still at most matches) closely followed by Alf Ramsey, if this guy half amtches either of those two we'll he ok, roll on next season!
krissyboy31 Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 So have we signed this guy or not? Not sure we can officially until June 1st.
Nexstar Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 Not sure we can officially until June 1st. Think we can if he is not signed to another club, which would apply as he has turned down a contract at Brighton and the season is now over.
itchen_dan Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 Especially in this manner.It seems reminiscent of Berkovic having used us as a shop window to display his talents then p!ss off at the end of the season for a bigger payday. Same situation with Stern John at the start of this season
krissyboy31 Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 Think we can if he is not signed to another club, which would apply as he has turned down a contract at Brighton and the season is now over. I think he's on a short term contract with them which expires at the end of the season (I.e 31st May).
Badger Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 The ultimate right back.None since have been better or anywhere near to him in my book. I did qualify it and neither of those mentioned below are after Ivan Golac. Not even the mighty Joe Kirkup? I remember Kirkup in the first Saints line up I saw.He was probably coming to the end of his time with us (1969/70).I was not particularly impressed but none too discerning in those days,as a kid only the goalscorers of Channon,Big Ron,and Paine stood out.(Occasionally John McGrath and Gabriel for their thumping tackles,but that was it.) The ultimate right back was Bill Ellerington in his day (I think he is still at most matches) closely followed by Alf Ramsey, if this guy half amtches either of those two we'll he ok, roll on next season! Sorry,I am a mere whippersnapper and only in my late 40's so no recollection of either.
saint1977 Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 Brighton fans won't know who to boo first or most next season! Calderon, Harding (who got it big time at SMS from them), Hammond or Pardew. What a selection! Could be tasty at SMS when they come to SMS. We owe them one for that 3-1 defeat and we can't play that badly again. Oh, Fonte is ex-Palace as well, make it 5 for them to boo and abuse!
NickG Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 misleading title - its not reported anywhere that we have signed him - even Poyet said he wants to talk to us
krissyboy31 Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 misleading title - its not reported anywhere that we have signed him - even Poyet said he wants to talk to us The SSN report is that he has agreed to sign for us! http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11700_6141895,00.html
NickG Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 I think they are just jumping on Poyet's comments - it came out just after, without any detail
*Halo* Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 A couple of youtube videos of Inigo playing for Brighton:
SuperMikey Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 A couple of youtube videos of Inigo playing for Brighton: Looks like he'd do well alongside Fonte, very cultured. Thanks for the videos, I searched yesterday but there wasn't really anything up there apart from some shoddy mobile phone footage...
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 Wont believe it until it is onfirmed on our OS to be fair..
david in sweden Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 It is a free, signed for Brighton, his contract ha run out and failed to agree a new contract. that's the best type of signing...no-one can say we've got miilions to spend when you can pick up OOC players for nothing.
david in sweden Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 Don't shoot the messenger but just heard from a Brighton supporting mate that we've signed their right back calderon. He told me it's been confirmed by gus poyet. can't help thinking he looks... more than a little... like ....Alexander Östlund. (now retired and coaching one of the Stockholm clubs.)
Rory Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 Who are those Saints fans posting on the Brighton board? Sad, pathetic morons.
david in sweden Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 (edited) A couple of youtube videos of Inigo playing for Brighton: MY goodness ! ...not only can he cross a ball into the box BUT he also passes to his own men..we've gotta sign him. :smt081 Edited 9 May, 2010 by david in sweden
NickG Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 can't help thinking he looks... more than a little... like ....Alexander Östlund. (now retired and coaching one of the Stockholm clubs.) hopefully better RB tho??
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 Not even the mighty Joe Kirkup? Hiccup was good, ex Chelsea IIRC?
saint lard Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 He has'nt decided to join us yet...... http://www.facebook.com/pages/Inigo-Calderon/280537163467
SuperMikey Posted 9 May, 2010 Posted 9 May, 2010 He has'nt decided to join us yet...... http://www.facebook.com/pages/Inigo-Calderon/280537163467 Lol, those Brighton fans really hate us

John B Posted 10 May, 2010 Posted 10 May, 2010 What's wrong with Lloyd James at RB? QUOTE] What is wrong with AP as manager
SaintRobbie Posted 10 May, 2010 Posted 10 May, 2010 Not a done deal yet http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1275894/Alan-Pardews-crisis-talks-Southampton-threaten-Inigo-Calderon-signing-Brighton.html I expect Pards to be manager after this meeting. This meeting should clear the air and I am sure all sides will see the importance of consistency with Pards at the helm. Nice to see a Boardroom with ambition for a change, even if it does create some pre-season friction.
