Justin C Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 We have signed a keeper for cover as Bart is injured. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2296736,00.html
trousers Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 Saints have signed goalkeeper James Shea on loan from Arsenal following an injury to Bartosz Bialkowski. Shea, 19, has joined for one month and goes straight into the squad for Saturday's trip to Rochdale. The young 'keeper is known for his superb shot-stopping ability, and he has recently signed a contract extension with the Gunners, who rate the youngster highly.
saint_stevo Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 Linked up with the England squad recently....nice
doddisalegend Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 What no recall for Forecast I'm shocked .................... just goes to show how highly rated Tommy is at saints doesn't it?
trousers Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 2+2=5 alert.... This perhaps suggests our dialogue with Arsenal (re: Chamberlain) during the transfer window was more amicable than Cortese's Daily Telegraph interview portrayed....?
oggiee Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 An Arsenal voice in the camp to unsettle OC? I've got no doubt this hasnt crossed Wenger's mind.
stockportsaint Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 What no recall for Forecast I'm shocked .................... just goes to show how highly rated Tommy is at saints doesn't it? my first thought too.
SuperMikey Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 What no recall for Forecast I'm shocked .................... just goes to show how highly rated Tommy is at saints doesn't it? Tbf Forecast is total sh!t.
trousers Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 The Arsenal OS hinting that he's here to get first team experience rather than just keeping the bench warm..... http://www.arsenal.com/news/reserves-news/shea-joins-southampton-on-loan "James will now hope to taste competitive action with the Saints"
Scummer Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 He'll only see action if Kelvin gets injured. Hardly likely to drop our keeper for someone who's only here for a month.
Alanh Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 The Arsenal OS hinting that he's here to get first team experience rather than just keeping the bench warm..... http://www.arsenal.com/news/reserves-news/shea-joins-southampton-on-loan "James will now hope to taste competitive action with the Saints" Hardly hinting that he's joined us for first team experience. Any footballer going on loan will be hoping for first team experience, but everyone knows that opportunities for keepers are massively restricted. Everyone involved with the deal will know that he is cover for our number 2 and so will only be called upon in an emergency.
fanimal Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 Thats a real shame for Bart as I reckon he could be a key player in the final few games!

Looks as if he needs a bit of meat on him to fill out that dressing gown he's wearing.
Window Cleaner Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 I see that according to the Echo Saints have loaned Arsenal keeper James Shea. Really a from a newspaper with some sort of journalistic skills you'd expect better. NB: Echo, you cannot loan something which you do not own, you can take it on loan though.
st alex Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 Would have thought that Poke would have been our next back up, I hadn't realised that he had even left, just checked and he's at Brighton, anyone if he at least even makes the bench there?
DT Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 Was really hoping that this was a replacement for Davis. Hope he plays.

Not usually no,Ankergren starts and Brezovan is on the bench. However the latter plays cup games and Poke did get one Cup start JPT maybe.
Huffton Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 Of all the teams I would rather us not sign a goalie from Arsenal has to be top of the list, I mean, old Arsene doesn't have the best track record at picking them does he...
Deppo Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 Was really hoping that this was a replacement for Davis. Hope he plays. I assume you've seen him play then?
doddisalegend Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 Was really hoping that this was a replacement for Davis. Hope he plays. WTF some kid on loan just out of nappies. If Nigel has any intention of replacing Kelvin, Bart would have been a regular in goal for some time. Seeing as Kelvin is still getting picked on a regular basis I think it's fair to say that Nigel still rates Kelvin. We need cover for an injuried Bart, Forecast ain't upto it so this kid is coming for a month. Replacement for Davis ..........

Really a from a newspaper with some sort of journalistic skills you'd expect better. NB: Echo, you cannot loan something which you do not own, you can take it on loan though. I prefer the term "borrowed" for that instance. Even when I was a kid about half of my class didn't understand that you loaned something to someone and borrowed it from them.

I thought that But TBF i have thought for a little while that the Chambo deal may well already be signed sealed and delivered.
scotty Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 I thought that But TBF i have thought for a little while that the Chambo deal may well already be signed sealed and delivered. you cynic.
Smirking_Saint Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 you cynic. Perhaps I hope i am wrong, all i will say is Christiano Ronaldo. They will never admit it is a done deal, but i honestly wouldn't be surprised if he moves in the summer to Arsenal.

They will never admit it is a done deal, but i honestly wouldn't be surprised if he moves in the summer to Arsenal. Neither would I. Got to say tho, if I'd been offered a choice between Adam Lallana or AOC staying here, I'd have snapped AL's hand off getting him to sign a 4 year contract.
latter day saint Posted 18 February, 2011 Posted 18 February, 2011 after reading this article on the lad, i hope Kelv stays injury free as i dont feel overly confident of a keeper who has 10 put past him in 1 game or is described as small for a keeper! http://arsenalyouth.wordpress.com/2011/02/18/big-test-for-shea-as-he-joins-southampton-on-loan/
whizzpop Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 He is their fourth keeper, so going back in time to our prem league days would we have felt comfortable with a keeper to the standard of Scott Bevan, Andrew McNeill, Poke or Darryl Flahavan in goal...i dont think so.
