Turkish Posted 1 January, 2011 Share Posted 1 January, 2011 TBF, i suppose what i said was a tad arrogant. I would have liked to have signed him, but there are other options out there. How did Harley play today ? outclassed, like the rest of their team bessie mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 1 January, 2011 Share Posted 1 January, 2011 outclassed, like the rest of their team bessie mate. Happy new year bestie Hmm, or Pugh, he scored again today. In the main we need to keep hold of our players, not losing anyone would go a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 1 January, 2011 Share Posted 1 January, 2011 (edited) Harley had a decent first touch, beat Lallana one one one in the first half on just the one occasion. He then quickly moved inside and generally tried his best to link up the play but we were strong today despite them having three against our two in the middle. Tisdale clearly rates him as he gave him the free role (Toti position) which to me is only given to players with real talent. He doesn't have pace and he won't get that free role in our side so I just wonder where he would fit in. I'd like to see how he plays in a 4-4-2. If we are going to sign a winger from our division it should be one that has caused Harding problems as very few have done that in the last 18 months.

I hope so, it would be madness to lose any of our spine. Cook would be a great signing. TBH with Chambo starting to look like he can do what he does consistently then it may just be to get someone in as backup (if there is no-one who can better what we have) I think we perhaps need a CB if Adkins does not believe that Martin/Seaborne are first choice.

Smirking_Saint Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 Sharpe would be great but will never drop down here, i wouldn't have thought but then stranger things have happened. This ain't a bad little thread - http://www.footballforums.net/forums/showthread.php/268698-The-deadwood-in-your-squad From that list i would definately have a look at Clark Carlisle, Tyrone Mears, Simon Cox, Jobi Mcanuff, Shane Long (if you can get the best out of him), Luke Moore, Craig Fagan, Ivan Sproule, Lee Cook, Brian Howard, Nathan Tyson. Simon Cox is a very decent shout though IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustMike Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 Apparently 2 PL and 3 NPC teams have put loan offer in for him, I know QPR are one of the teams for a fact.

Simon Cox,a bit of a forgotten man now. From that site I noticed the following comment on one player mentioned above,Lee Cook: Lee Cook - Nickname Crock, massive wages and not played in nearly a year and never going to be fit enough sadly Patrick 'Wu-Tang' Agyemang - Donkey. Out of his depth even giving rides on Blackpool beach, were organising a fan whipround to get the RSPCA to put him out of his misery Cook might therefore be the best loanee at the club,bar none,if he did not spend so much time in the treatment room. Agyemang has previously been mentioned on here in about the last four transfer windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 IMO the policy of looking for players who could do well in the division above is the right one. We have enough to get promoted as things stand and bringing in former big-name(ish) players just for the sake of it is not wise. The only positions where we could possibly do with some greater strength in depth are right wing and upfront but, again, we have enough strength in depth to cover by shuffling players around a bit and there is no point buying a League One lump to sit on the bench. If, for example, Lambert were to get injured then Guly and Barnard upfront will probably be a better option than Guly or Barnard and some other inferior lower-league version of Lambert or an ageing veteran. If we can sign Guly, keep what we have and maybe add one more quality player or hot-prospect that will be a good window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintsmonkey Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 I don't believe we need any more new signing tbh, except Guly. We have a good/big enough squad to win promotion. What I would like to see is may be give the youth a chance. e.g. Joe Mills/ Gobern/ Martin/ Doble. All good players with exciting future. We have loads of money but it will be better to live within our means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Nelson Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 I don't know why so many are looking at has-beens and discards, thinking that they will be strengthening us. Saints are supposed to challenge for promotion to the PL next year at this time, so why should we believe that kind of lack of quality will get us there. If we look at our squad it lacks depth, since a large number of the players in it are unproven (goes for all the youth players) or not good enough (Forecast, Pulis, Wotton, etc.) I would be very disappointed if new signings haven't got at least CCC experience, or even better. Sometimes I think that the club is more ambitious than some of the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint lard Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 If and where possible we should be attempting to prepare a squad for next season in the CCC. Hit the ground running with a fully integrated side,a gamble to do so now but one that could seriously assist with preperations and not leaving us standing still at the begining of the next campaign. Promotion this season is not a certainty but we need to be forward thinking and take a punt on succeeding. I'm sure the summer transfer market is where many will think we should do our business,and to a point i agree,but lets start the process now,if at all possible.

Chez Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 Cook might therefore be the best loanee at the club,bar none,if he did not spend so much time in the treatment room. Cook had a bad knee injury and then the QPR medical staff ****ed up big style by allowing him to come back way too early. He had to have a second operation and now finally is ready to start playing games again. If I am honest I can't see QPR allowing him to join us unless we guarentee to give him games and they probably want him to come on a short term loan (just to get his match sharpness back) rather than till the end of the season as we need. I may be wrong and if I am then he would be a brilliant signing. He was one of the best championship players in his first spell at QPR earning his move to the Premiership. This could be a great opportunity to grab a real championship level star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 3 January, 2011 Share Posted 3 January, 2011 Leon best is **** though, he didn't do much to earn that move then did naff all for newcastle. Thought he was dire for us. Like a much better version of mcgoldrick. Best has been injured this season, yesterday was his first game back (cruciate ligaments). I think its a touch unfair to say he has done naff all at Newcastle, really hasn't had much of a chance so far. Still he is probably only about 4th or 5th choice there now. Still wouldn't have him back, watched him yesterday and his body language is al wrong, gives the impression of being disinterested and lazy, too big for his boots. Shame, always rated him when he was with us, and was uinfairly castigated for his pen miss, when senior players/manager (joke, Burley's incompetence) should not have even allowed him to take a crucial pen in a shoot out.
