Matthew Le God Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Don't worry Kenny. Benjii is just continuing today's trend of reminiscing about old Saints players.
Miltonaggro Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 F*ck me! If anyone needs reminding as to why we are in the third division the names being put up on here over the last 24 hours provide a stark jarring reminder. Let's sign 250 players for £700K in the hope that 11 might not be too sh*t...
JackFrost Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Seriously, wtf? Marcelo Tejera, an Argentine who made his international debut in 1991. His transfer was investigated by the authorities I believe I think he apparently signed for us but never turned up?
Colinjb Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Indeed, WTF. Was it him who played in the league cup defeat at Notts County, or was that Sarmiento?
JackFrost Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 I was about to say 'who's going to start the Marcelo Sarmiento thread'
Papa Shango Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Nice little earner for 'Arry no doubt. Think he was on the bench against Mansfield in the cup, but never actually played in the first team.
Give it to Ron Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Better than Liptak? Different type....Liptak was more the Lundekvam - Yahia was more a Jaidi
Papa Shango Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 I was about to say 'who's going to start the Marcelo Sarmiento thread' Underrated player. Looked really comfortable on the ball the few times he played. Rarely gave the ball away. Surprised he wasn't given more of a chance.
Colinjb Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Anyone remember Cosimo Sarli? Serie C journeyman now i believe. Did anyone here see Federico Arias play?
SuperSAINT Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Serie C journeyman now i believe. Did anyone here see Federico Arias play? Yes. He was a 'Torpedo'
fish fingers Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Serie C journeyman now i believe. Did anyone here see Federico Arias play? Last seen playing in the A-league As for Sarmiento he is in Greece in the same team as Saga, Vignal and Camara.
georgeweahscousin Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Serie C journeyman now i believe. Did anyone here see Federico Arias play? I was at the Den when he was an unused sub, so saw him warm up.
Window Cleaner Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Last seen playing in the A-league As for Sarmiento he is in Greece in the same team as Saga, Vignal and Camara. Vignal isn't there any more.He left at the New Year and was down at Arles but he got injured and might not play again.
K,Billy's supersound Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 old arry did alright from the tajera signing tho, the bloke was ****e and never gonna play any role for us he couldnt even hack the training and was well out of his depth. certainly was not bought with any intentions of playing football for us.
Sheaf Saint Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Does anyone remember that Italian lad who scared a shedload of goals in the reserves towards the end of the 90s but never got a chance in the first team? Someone Sarli I think his name was.
Whitey Grandad Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Did anyone here see Federico Arias play? I'm pretty sure that I did. Which game was it?
Thedelldays Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Does anyone remember that Italian lad who scared a shedload of goals in the reserves towards the end of the 90s but never got a chance in the first team? Someone Sarli I think his name was. cosimo sarli
niceandfriendly Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 His partnership with Viafara in the middle of the park (whenever Clueless George decided to play them together) was great. They performed very well, and Pele's best position is clearly centre mid. Can't remember how he played as a centre back to be honest as won't have played there for us many times, but he certainly was not one of our worst ever.
Stu Man Do Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 I'm amazed its taken near enough 4 years since the play off season to establish he is the reason we didn't go up! And they say this forum is intellectually challenged! Played far fewer games as a CB than as a CM so your point is? As others have said he was an ok midfielder just not 1m pounds worth. Who is not pleased to be able to say they saw "pele" score for Southampton though!? I added that to me seeing Best and Charlton do the same ;-)
Thedelldays Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 He was always a defensive midfielder, not a centre back. He was alright when played in his normal position. wansnt he brought in as a CB though..and we were told as such..and then realised he was shyt for us there
Colinjb Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 wansnt he brought in as a CB though..and we were told as such..and then realised he was shyt for us there He may well have been, so long ago now though I can't remember. Not exactly Pele's fault if he was scouted badly though.
Saint-scooby Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Saw him play at SMS when we had a reserve league, think he started a few times too ? Those were the days even got several thousand going to some games and you could park at SMS for free if there was a space
The9 Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Better than Liptak? I guarantee that he was, and of the two, I only saw Liptak play. http://www.soccerbase.com/players/search.sd?search=Alledine+Yahia&type=player
The9 Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 haha this made me chuckle. Disagree with your Jacobbson comment though. You could put a brick on the pitch and it would do more good than that bloke! Worst player I've ever seen in a saints shirt by a distance. Jakobsson (for that is how he spells it) was not even the worst Saints player on the pitch for most of his Saints matches in the Prem relegation season... he was a damn sight better than Nilsson for a start, and then we signed Davenport and Bernard...
The9 Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 He may well have been, so long ago now though I can't remember. Not exactly Pele's fault if he was scouted badly though. He was brought in as a CB and clearly much better as a DM.

Who is not pleased to be able to say they saw "pele" score for Southampton though!? I added that to me seeing Best and Charlton do the same ;-) Billy Davies was why we didn't go up that season, thanks to his kicking rota on Kenwyne and Bale... as well as Pele's stupid pull back on the Derby player's shirt in the playoff first leg.
The9 Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 He was better than Bennett, who just looked awkward and useless! I even drew cartoons about how bad Alan Bennett (alongside Chris Makin) was on his debut, and for the first month or two before some people on here thought he suddenly became good, when actually he just got slightly less crap with a bit of experience.
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 I would say bad. Can you pm me marsdinio!?? Got £400 for you here
teamsaint Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 i really wish that he was the worst player we ever had..but he wasn't. And he was pretty decent in MF.
Crab Lungs Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 haha this made me chuckle. Disagree with your Jacobbson comment though. You could put a brick on the pitch and it would do more good than that bloke! Worst player I've ever seen in a saints shirt by a distance. Yup. Him and Nilsson. People bang on about Davenport but Jakobsson was far, far worse. Nilsson was embarrassing, such a bottler.
Papa Shango Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Yup. Him and Nilsson. People bang on about Davenport but Jakobsson was far, far worse. Nilsson was embarrassing, such a bottler. True. Davenport was sh*t, but he only played about five games for us, so it wasn't all about him by any means that season.
Crab Lungs Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Missed a trick there. Still, at least we signed Neil McCann. :-o
Saint Without a Halo Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Anyway Pele is the worlds best no 9 only burley would play him at CB or Midfield!
Crab Lungs Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Anyway Pele is the worlds best no 9 only burley would play him at CB or Midfield! He wouldn't even get in the side; Jermaine Wright's already a shoe-in.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 He wouldn't even get in the side; Jermaine Wright's already a shoe-in. to true i forget we had him!
Fowllyd Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Could swear I just saw him in town. He's easy to spot. He's just so dominant.
cellone Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Even Higginbotham, who cost us more points in our relegation season than anyone else. Did Higgy cost us more points than Chris "Ref, Ref, stop the game they cheated, oh they scored" Baird?
SparkySaint Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Did he ever play. I seam to remember him being on the bench when we won away at Leicester in 2007. Stern John header and a Andrew Surman penalty if my memory serves me correctly. Great day
cellone Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 Don't worry P, it's just people looking for fail to escape goats.
Alain Perrin Posted 9 February, 2011 Posted 9 February, 2011 I am sure you are all experts.... But you sound like c•cks. If I had a pound for every player this forum had passed judgement on as 'the worst player ever to wear a Saints shirt', I'd be a rich man. Smith wasn't a great player but we weren't a great team - and we were skintight, stoney broke. He came, he tried. Move on.
