Pulis gone! on loan to end of season

[Nexstar]

So people still want to rubbbish Pulis, despite most of them never having seen him play. He goes on loan and scores in his firstgame but even that has to be put down.

 

Fact is that SFC had him on a 2-yr contract with an option for a 3rd year and have taken up the option. That suggests that the professionals who work for the club may know something that the average fan doesn't know.

 

Good luck to him, and its time to get off his back.

 

Haha, it's hilarious you still think he's actually pretty good...YOU obviously haven't seen him play!

 

Scoring on his debut makes him sound like a great signing, it's actually 1 goal in 7 years as a 'professional' footballer. Torquay fans i believe voted him as their worst ever loan signing.

 

Oh and his goal was really nothing special

[Hatch]

What a strike,

 

Zidanesque!

[Torres]

What a strike,

 

Zidanesque!

 

Has scored more than Hammoned this season. Hammond Out, Pulis In.

[suewhistle]

Professor, are you taking the ****? Really? I'm a very supportive person, but when I read the crap you write, compared with what we know about Pulis it's very easy for me to get cynical; more about you than Pulis,.. and that should really worry you!

I'm told that the goal was the only thing he did on Saturday as overall he was poor along with the rest of the side. It constituted his first and only completed pass or shot of the game. I wasn't there so I am only passing it on.

We are paying his wages by the way.

[DirkThunder]

I went to the Stockport vs Gillingham with an open mind on Pulis but he was slow and ponderous in possession and struggled to get in the game. He should have received a straight red card for a horrible hack from behind but was probably saved by the ref having been only on the pitch for a few minutes having replaced the previous ref who was injured. He did score with a good finish but I would have backed myself to score in that position! Hope he manages to make a career for himself at League 2 level and get to play more games than he has so far but this will not happen with Southampton.

Swap you for Pulis in that case.

You are joking? If the professionals rated him, he'd have played for the first team by now. 17 first team appearances anywhere in 8 years is it? He's only in pro football because of his Dad.

 

Of course I do have to say I've never seen him play a bad game. (Mind you I've never seen him play a good one either)

[doddisalegend]

Stockport won their first home match since forever last saturday apparenty Mr Pullis played quite well taken from the Stockport message board

 

Liked the look of Pulis too, today he was how we have wanted Tansey to be all season.

 

Man of the match could have been anyone out of: Glennon, Lynch, Williams, Turnbull, Pulis, Donnelley, or Fletcher in my opinion.

[chocco boxo]

7 people could have been MOM???

[doddisalegend]

Must have been one hell of a performance hey. Mind you this was the first win since feb so they might be getting carried away. Maybe young Pullis has found his level two games in he's scored a goal and could have been MOM thats more than he's achieved in two years with us.

[doddisalegend]

Good news mr Pulis is enjoying himself at Stockport and wants to stay longer, he has played three first team matches in a row (is that a record for him?). The only spanner in the works will be Stockports ability to afford him apparently we are still paying his wages.

Good Luck Anthony......I am sure he is filming a series of that programme "Faking it"

I HAVE seen him play, and he's fudgeking garbage. I've never seen a player drift around the centre of midfield getting out of the way of the ball so effectively. I've also seen him be terrible at right back (Jamie Hatch who got released a while back was three times the right back he is). If you look to the edge of the screen for the goal Stockport conceded from a corner, you can see Pulis not tracking the goalscorer as well.

 

His uncle Ray played at Gwent County level and had a cup of tea at Southern League regional level for Newport in the early 90s, and that's about Anthony's level. I will be appalled if Newport County make the mistake of signing him, which unfortunately looks feasible next season given their current status high up in the Conference and the Pulis family's long time hometown.

[hamster]

Well, he's just missed the pen that puts Tranmere through in the LC. It doesn't get any better for him does it, poor lad.

Despite being subbed on the 77th minute?

[hamster]

Commontater said it was him, can subbed players take pens? i thought not, maybe Durso was reffing it?

[hamster]

I stand corrected, the saved pen was taken by Adam Griffin. Apologies to Ant.

[doddisalegend]

Well stockport had 70% of the possession and far more shots on goal. Just goes to show what happens when you have a mid-field general like Pulis running the show from the middle of the pitch I suppose

[Appy]

I think Lincoln also gave him that award too.

[doddisalegend]

Oh bugger. Seems Mr Pulis has resoted to form, a goal in his first match, possible man of the match in the second to Powder puff and invisible in his fouth match (managed to get a booking and then subbed by 60mins). Stockport boards

wouldn't be suprised if he gets sent back soon......

[Nadia Sllim]

Pulis in 2 page thread! lol

[spyinthesky]

I heard that the third year option was at the players discretion.

 

If this is true then another strange deal Mr Lowe dreamt up for us.

 

Not sure how the Andrew Davies deal benefited us but Pulis must be on around £3k per week = £450k over the term of his contract!!

[Matthew Le God]

Extended until 1st December.

 

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2207926,00.html

 

Have a feeling he'll join them for free or a nominal fee in January.

 

Jack Saville also joined Stockport until 4th December.

[The Kraken]

Jack Saville too; will be good to see how he copes with League football.

[Saint 76er]

Both players being allowed to play in FA Cup for County. Probably sensible but does indicate (as if proof were needed) that Pulis has no future at Saints. Clearly not planning on relying on him if we progress in the Cup. However, does beg the question why on earth we renewed his contract for this season ...

The good news is that there will probably be quite a large fee for Pulis.

 

The bad news is that Saints will have to pay it to Stockport.

OH NO! How are we ever going to achieve promotion if we're going to loan out our bestest players to lower league clubs?!?! We must be desperate for the money! (;

[Panda]

How come he can stay fit for seven games at Stockport could not stay fit for seven minutes here?

[Window Cleaner]

sports science or probably lack of it.

[corsacar saint]

He is Lets B Avenues favourite Saints player,so at least one Saints fan likes him.

[SaintDonkey]

One more league game for Stockport and he equals his record for the most league games for a sigle club.

[The9]

How come he can stay fit for seven games at Stockport could not stay fit for seven minutes here?

 

He has his own boots, so he gets a game at Stockport.

 

Three 5-0 defeats and a 4-1 defeat during his time there so far.

[Fowllyd]

Pretty much as you'd expect really. If Pulis is getting into Stockport's team he must be better than their other players. And if Pulis is one of your better players, even in a League Two side, then god help you...

 

Anyway, enough from me - wouldn't want the Prof to miss his cue!

[SaintRichmond]

I'd love to know how much Saints are paying Stockport to keep Pukis away from St Mary's ???

[Window Cleaner]

honestly what is the point of going on all the time about the poor bloke. He's got a loan period for 3 months now, he's getting a game, we should just leave him be.I notice we don't go on and on and on about some of the players who are in the "development squad" who'll never get a first team game in a month of Sundays either.

Kind of agree with you here, with any luck he'll have made a decent enough impression and can go on and actually do something with his career rather than waste away with us.

 

However he is going to be 27 next year so a little unfair to compare him to the development squad!

Very true

 

Mainly because those players are "Developing"

 

Pulis IS Krap, and his only development will to be to become better quality Krap

 

Saints worst signing ever

[Charlie Wayman]

Perhaps we can have Higgenbottom, Delap and Fuller back now... ?

 

;-)

[david in sweden]

Noooooooooooo!

WOW ! ..gone until January 4th ...WHICH YEAR ?

but he has scored a goal, so he must be among their leading scorers...!

I think the reason he gets so much stick is that he is clearly only in professional football because his father gave him contracts at the clubs he managed, and then he was effectively dumped on us, reputedly as part of some obscure behind-the-scenes deal, leaving us to pay him more for basically doing nothing than most Saints fans could hope ever to earn, and clearly more than he is worth. I mean, for God's sake he is about 27 yet only has a grand total of about 27 league games for his entire career!

 

I sincerely hope, if only for the sake of his self-respect, that he finally makes a career of sorts at Stockport, but I do wonder if they'll keep him on if/when they have to pay all his wages.

Understood but seeing as we sold them a complete crock I guess Nemesis has caught up with us.

[Macey_J2]

He is back!, wonder if he'll be in the squad for saturday?! http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/javaImages/bc/1b/0,,10280~9313212,00.jpg

That's a great caption compo photo... i.e. Lallana looks over and says... "Don't fret Pulis - Stockport may want you back as the kit-man" or "Pulis wake-up FFS - you're still dreaming of your goals at Stockport aren't you?!" or Adkins:"Right, all those footballers without vests go stand with Adam - hey Pulis, where do you think you're going?".

Chala maybe (at least Delgado did play a few games before he went to the World Cup 2002)

....and have you noticed, he's moving up in the league.

 

Stockport are currently 24th (i.e. bottom) whereas Barnet ...are only 22nd !

 

...surely Nicola Cortese should be considering a large fee if he stays there after May ..?
