Nexstar Posted 21 August, 2010 Share Posted 21 August, 2010 I don't think puncheon is a bad player but i do think he needs a kick up the arse. He's playing badly at the moment and not thinking on the ball. He also seems to think that he has to beat ten players before he can cross (not that there was anyone in the box for him for most of today's game). Again i think that comes back to the manager, bollock him at half time, sub him if it continues and then for a last resort drop him if his attitude doesn't change. Same thing goes with dropping Jaidi, the whole ground can see he's not up to it any more (it's sadly a bit like Perry last season that you can see he's got too old). Agreed. Was disappointed not to see Holmes or Dickson in his place. He's not a bad player but he's in terrible form and needs to get with the programme.

SaintNeil90 Posted 21 August, 2010 Share Posted 21 August, 2010 Lets be honest... Puncheon obviously has talent. He has the tricks to open up defences and is very unpredictable. He just needs to learn when is best to shoot, pass and cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 22 August, 2010 Share Posted 22 August, 2010 been looking into this guy a bit more, it seems to be a really random signing if true. His club have just got promoted to Serie A and according to the stats he's one of their keymen with 11 goals from midfield last season in Serie B. His record before his move to Cesena is a bit iffy though, he had a very very serious injury when he was at Fiorentina and found him self loaned out everywhere for a few seasons, but in the last year he seems to have got over his injury troubles..There were rumblings that Roma and Lazio were interested earlier in the summer. He looks to be well loved at Cesena and they don't want to sell him...so i think it's safe to assume that it will be one hell of a coup to get him to L1..

Andy_Porter Posted 22 August, 2010 Share Posted 22 August, 2010 Lambert just isn't fully match fit, in the first half when we where playing the ball around and getting some decent service into him he was winning everything in the air.

Pilchards Posted 22 August, 2010 Share Posted 22 August, 2010 Strange one this. If he has signed then you would parade him at the game, If he wants to look at the club first then it's a situation where Saints will know it's going to be leaked out and that other clubs could nip in before us. This is a great agents tactic to generate better interest for the player. IMHO We are one option the player has but they intend to chase the larger wages in the end so we shall see.

Saint 76er Posted 22 August, 2010 Share Posted 22 August, 2010 Assuming this is true, and with Italian press reports and alleged sightings at SMS it may well be, then I wonder what this might tell us about the current relationship between AP and NC? Pardew is widely believed not to welcome the input of others into his transfer dealings, but GDP has surely been sourced by Cortese, especially with the Fiorentina connection, and his transfer fee won't come cheap (1 mill euros?). Assuming this is the case, will AP be happy for such funds to be spent on a player perhaps not of his choice when he may prefer to spend funds elsewhere? A similar thing happened last year with Papa and despite his potential AP did seem reluctant to play him too much. Is it just coincidence that a similar situation may now be reoccurring, or could this be an indicator for the future... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_lambden Posted 22 August, 2010 Share Posted 22 August, 2010 Looks a cracking player , but then again Youtube makes ANY player look good (the Lee Molyneux motivational ) We need someone like him to add a bit of spark to the attack. Waigo was unpredictable and Antonio had pace and actually took on the full-back (NOTE TO PUNCHEON!!! ) I think Puncheon's problem maybe a confidence one , or that he isn't quite fit enough yet ..but also could be that he was played in Centre-Midfield for the majority of the time he was at MK Dons and wants to hold the ball a lot to find the right pass. I think he's a good player but something's not right ATM , and Pardew either needs to drop him or tell him to up his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfc4prem Posted 22 August, 2010 Share Posted 22 August, 2010 This is pretty much a certain transfer then. Much like the Dickson signing, we know about it before the official announcement. Seems to be a good player with decent experience. Now we can get playing a 4-5-1 with Do Prado, Lallana, Puncheon, Dickson and Schneiderlin in the midfield. Lallana and Puncheon more central with Do Prado on the right and Dickson on the left? All up to Pards I guess, but that formation would leave the bench looking stronger already with Hammond and Barnard there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
