Saint Charlie Posted 16 August, 2011 Share Posted 16 August, 2011 Nigel - "Lambert in the shape of his life" "Schneiderlin has potential to be one of the best players in the league this season and he can't even get in the team at the moment." "Cork a class act. Top target this summer." "I can't wait to see the goals again myself" "Mass speculation, tried not to get involved about speculation with other players from other teams.

The Kraken Posted 16 August, 2011 Share Posted 16 August, 2011 delighted for Lambo, he's worked his arse off in the lower leagues to get here. Always felt he'd score at this level. This exactly. There was a thread on here a few days ago suggesting he might get found out, we should be looking for someone quicker etc. For me, Ricky defines the way the whole team play, we mould our game around him. In the air he's the best we've had since Beattie was here. In fact he's perhaps even more dominant at times. On the ground he has great awareness, and what he does lack in flat out speed he more than makes up for in technique. I'm really happy with him leading the line, and only hope it furthers adds to his confidence that he can completely boss it at this level as he has done in League 1.

Huntingdon Posted 17 August, 2011 Share Posted 17 August, 2011 I beleive anything is possible with NA in charge He's clearly a great coach, but he's also not an old fashioned English manager, he's an intellect who believes strongly in Sport Science and Psychology The players believe in themselves, they believe in the manager, and they believe in their teammates This has always been a key ingredient of his success. Just look at S****horpe - it has a population of 72k, that's less than Basingstoke ffs!

JackFrost Posted 17 August, 2011 Share Posted 17 August, 2011 (edited) I wonder how many Premiership Chairmen are watching Adkins with envious eyes....... This worries me Nah Adkins is unproven in the PL and it's only a lower end club that could possibly go for him. Even if they did it's increasingly looking like long term he's in a better position now than he would be if he jumped ship. Besides I'm sure Mr Cortese would have something to say about it Edited 17 August, 2011 by JackFrost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minty Posted 17 August, 2011 Share Posted 17 August, 2011 Adkins knows that as far as structure and resources go, he's far better off staying with Saints and moving up with us at the mo, unless it really was one of the big clubs, but that won't happen. He has an opportunity (which he seems to be taking) to build a whole club in his image... as much as Pardew started the ball rolling with many of the players, Adkins has moulded them into the group we have now. He has earnt (well, I'd like to think so) the respect and patience of the fans who now mostly trust him to take us forward, and has done all of this is less than a year. That's also worth remembering... he joined us on Sept 12th 2010... IMO, what he has achieved in that time, and the culture now prevalent at the club, is nothing less than astonishing and even I, known for my optimism, could not have expected things to go so well. Anyway... Adkins will be courted by other clubs if this continues, I have no doubt. But I firmly believe that he'll be with us for the long term, because we're moving forward all the time and there is nothing he can't achieve with us now, IMO.
