Window Cleaner Posted 29 April, 2011 Share Posted 29 April, 2011 Wasn't the rumour that we had a loan with an option to buy at the end of the season? Stephens said when he joined the club that as far as he knew it was just a loan for the time being. Didn't mention any option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted 29 April, 2011 Share Posted 29 April, 2011 Jaidi / Martin / Butterfield / Harding = Retain DC = Pay as you play The rest = bye bye This, although I think Dale Stephens may get a contract offer. He will be behind Hammond, Chaplow and Morgan for selection to CM and frankly we would be hard placed to find as good a CM player with his potential who would be willing to be bench fodder. Not convinced entirely with DC - I feel there are better options out there and we need another centre forward type player - CMS would be an ideal summer signing of intent.

We'd have to buy Stephens from Oldham first though.Would depend on how much they're asking I guess, and what other offers he might have...well if you look at the Sun anyway.

Saint_clark Posted 29 April, 2011 Share Posted 29 April, 2011 Not if you watch his interview on Saints player when he signed. That doesn't mean there isn't the option to buy, all that means is that a permanent deal hasn't already been agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that's true - I would suggest that there is a good chance an offer to Oldham has been or will be made if the Sun has some truth to it, although I reckon that's agent speak trying to justify the price tag.

VectisSaint Posted 29 April, 2011 Share Posted 29 April, 2011 Connolly - No. People keep saying, "If he's fit... etc". He's NOT fit. He hasn't been fit for 4 year and will be 34. Pulis - Yes As in "Yes, I would drive him to Split myself if Hajduk offered him a contract." I mentioned on here a couple of weeks back that Pulis no longer appears in our Squad on the OS. All others who are currently on loan are still listed including Harlee Dean. I suspect he has already been told he has no future here but will not be officially released yet. I don't think there is a cat in hell's chance that Hajduk Split would want our Anth, more likely Banana Split. Connolly claims he has been fit for months, and also that he is one of the fittest players at the Club. If DC goes it will be because NA doesn't rate him, and this appears to possibly be the case, otherwise DC would have been used more if he was fit. IMHO this would be a massive mistake, DC is exactly what we need to Division 2, experience and guile, and a great eye for a goal. OK, it may be his last hurrah, but you need guys like him around, and lest we forget, Barney may not be available. What we do need is a new, young striker, in the mould of RL.

astrasri Posted 29 April, 2011 Share Posted 29 April, 2011 Danny Butterfield - No He's been okay this season but the step up will be too much for him. Find a new RB as with every new season. . After 8 seasons at Crystal Palace - I don't think he would be "stepping up" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 29 April, 2011 Share Posted 29 April, 2011 Radhi Jaidi - Slow so go... Dan Harding - One dimensional but a useful sub. Give him one year Danny Butterfield - OK. Good in parts. Keep for two years Oscar Gobern - Rubbish. Get rid Aaron Martin - Who knows? If he was any good he'd be first choice by now. Maybe one year? David Connolly - Waste of time and money. Get rid. Anthony Pulis - Who? Get rid. N'Guessan (loan) - Complete ********. Get rid. Dale Stephens (loan) - Out of his depth. Get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 29 April, 2011 Share Posted 29 April, 2011 I think people are massively overrating the Championship here... It's been proven over the last few seasons if you're good enough to get promotion from league 1 then you're good enough to compete with just a couple of clever signings. Leeds, Norwich, Leicester, Millwall have shown the way for others to follow. The players that have produced this season should get a chance in the championship maybe, but take a look at what champions Norwich did: Released Kelly, Stephens, Doherty, McVeigh, Theokolotis, Whaley, Stefanovic, Spillane, Renton, Lathrope, Wiggins, Cureton and Russell Brought in: Jackson, Surman, Lansbrey, Ruddy,Crofts, Fox, Smith and Ward and then added Wilbraham, Tierney, Barnet plus Edwards, Vokes and Pacheto in the winter. That's 27 changes to the squad. When we go up we will need to add real quality. centre mid, right midfield, up front and maybe right back all could be improved on.

Chez Posted 29 April, 2011 Share Posted 29 April, 2011 Which is exactly what I'd expect an ageing player, who's out of contract, to say. he's been overlooked. He certainly hasn't been injured all season. Adkins just stuck with Barnard, Lambert and Guly. How many games has he been an unused sub this season? He's like a Woodgate though. Top quality and if he stays fit the side benefits. But there is a serious risk he will miss the season with an injury. If we go up you have to hope we can pick up someone with similar quality but who is in his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 29 April, 2011 Share Posted 29 April, 2011 Radhi Jaidi - Slow so go... Jaidi was slow when Brum got promoted. He was a rock for them and one of the main reasons they went up. Maybe he can do the same for us. If we let him go I fear for us with the likes of Seabourne and Martin simply not being tough and ugly enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
