James Beattie

[rocknrollman no2]

I think Beattie may have something to offer,but as Lambert is our no 1 striker and when fit Connolly is also ahead of him,i cant see him sitting on the bench for most of the season.

[Matthew Le Tissier]

Did anyone go to any of the ex saints events recently?

Depends how much he's being paid..............it can also be a tactical option if there's a few nuts Rickie can't crack!

[Dellman]

The club through NC and NA is building a young squad with a future, its great to have Beatts watching us as a fan, but he is the past

[Matthew Le Tissier]

By the way the ex saints have a box at the ground, I wonder who was satnin it today?

[Thedelldays]

Did anyone go to any of the ex saints events recently?

 

Did anyone see a certain player who we may be talking about supporting there events?

 

 

Who tends to dislike the ex saints organisation?

 

Lol

 

 

Let me know when the penny drops

well done. you have now turned this into another anti cortese thing...good work

 

the fact is ex players are at the club.......despite you saying he is against it

ummmmm, did you go? Did you see? Why don't you just come out with it instead of being all cryptic!

What he is saying is that Beattie has supported the ex saints charity recently, and because of that NC is not keen on signing him. Not sure I completely believe that, but stranger things have happened. IF (big if) it were true then that would be a great shame.

[Spudders]

It's a complicated and confusing world we live in

[sfc4prem]

Sorry for not being able to have my own opinion. I must think what you think and speak what you think. Sorry once again.

 

Just from a personal point of view. Like my opinion

 

I CAN'T STAND THE BLOKE

 

however that's just my opinion and don't judge anyone on there opinion if they tend to like the gent.

 

Some like marmite some don't, simple as that.

 

Even tho I'm a **** for thinking that I'm afraid that doesn't change things sorry.

 

Also

 

That doesn't mean I think he is doing all a bad job I just don't like him.

 

So I'm assuming you've spent time with him in order to reach a fully conclusive opinion of him?

[Matthew Le Tissier]

You got it

[Matthew Le Tissier]

And he didn't sleep with my wife lol

[RedArmy]

Go back to sniffing game worn shirts.

[Matthew Le Tissier]

Match Worn please , game worn is more ice hockey.

Did he touch you inappropriately on your bottom

[Matthew Le Tissier]

It was either him or Beattie I can't remember

 

It could have been thedelldays

 

 

It's all getting to much

[Spudders]

You'd have remembered if it was thedelldays!

[RobM]

I don't think Beattie being an ex-Saint has anything to do with it. NC isn't that childish to put an internet and media fuelled spat ahead of good business. Heck, would he turn down Theo, Bale, AOC etc if they wanted and could come back to us, just because they are ex-Saints? Heck no.

 

If the club think Beattie has something to offer they will talk to his people about a move. It's as simple as that.

 

As for what Adkins said, he said they have not spoken to him. They may well have spoken to his agent though.

 

And let's not rule out some good old fashioned hospitality. An ex-Saint who will still have links with some people at the club could well have been invited as a guest. He might even have been invited to train with us to keep his fitness.

 

The one thing we can be absolutely sure of, is we know nothing about the situation.

[Matthew Le Tissier]

Some good points there rob

[hypochondriac]

Some good points there rob

 

However, you actually know a lot about the situation, it just depends if you want to digest it or not!

 

 

 

Do you think it would be childish to not invite the fans number one player over the last 20 odd years to the recent saints celebration

 

If true I would say that was childish

 

What has that got to do with Beattie?

[St_Tel49]

and there is the problem

Hasn't been this season

[Matthew Le Tissier]

Nothing at all

 

Ame as most of the dribble above hasn't

[Roger]

If cortese didn't want him back I really doubt too much he'd be going in players entrance today

[Matthew Le Tissier]

If the tickets paid for Roger it's not an issue

[Thedelldays]

If the tickets paid for Roger it's not an issue

just ban him if he is supporting the ex players charity....

 

no mercy...mercy is for the weak

[hypochondriac]

If the tickets paid for Roger it's not an issue

 

Him going through the players entrance? Why would that not be an issue?

[Spudders]

Hasn't been this season

and let's hope it carries on that way, but we're only ten games in. I'd be amazed if he makes it through the whole season

[Matthew Le Tissier]

Players entrance?the same entrance as is for hospitality.

 

Time will tell!

 

I personally agree with you.

[Thedelldays]

havent you said he was signing..?

[Matthew Le Tissier]

Not me

[hypochondriac]

Players entrance?the same entrance as is for hospitality.

 

Time will tell!

 

I personally agree with you.

 

But you said he was signing? Is he or isnt he?

[Roger]

havent you said he was signing..?

 

I know you said he was signing? You're confusing me matthew! Is he signing or not??

[Thedelldays]

Beattie is signing

 

He was also at the game today watching his new team mates

 

I know you said he was signing? You're confusing me matthew! Is he signing or not??

 

 

hmmm..

[Matthew Le Tissier]

Lol

 

Let's wait and see shall we

 

I hope he does that's for sure

[hypochondriac]

Lol

 

Let's wait and see shall we

 

I hope he does that's for sure

 

So why did you say he is? And that he was watching his team mates?

[Roger]

So did u make it up that he was signing? Cortese may have changed his mind?

[SB]

His appearance, the fact he was at the game, walked through the players entrance and is out of contract suggests there is Something in this..

[Matthew Le Tissier]

I think he is going to sign but you make your own mind up

[Saint_lambden]

I know he lives locally and that he still has a soft spot for us but he seems very desperate right now. I just don't see the point of getting him. He's too similar to Lambert, and I'd pick Rickie over him every time. We need a striker with pace, not somebody we're going to have to wait for ages to get back to any form of fitness, let alone contribution to the team.

 

Some fans seem to just want a player back because they were good with us before, but we need to stop living in the past. James is way past his best, and he was never as good after he left us. Some great memories, particularly the Pompey ones, but an arrogant, unfit striker that could cause issues in damaging the squad harmony? No thanks.

do we...?

we are top of the league, scored 7 more than anyone else without this...

[Matthew Le Tissier]

I think Beattie needs the right manager to get the best out of him, some players go to lots of clubs and just don't do the business, but then you see them get good man management and it all clicks into place .

 

I think Adkins would be able to get Beattie back on his game

 

Yes he's similar to lambert

 

That's why it would be a food signing as players get injured and to get to the premier league you must have strength in depth.

And some fans don't want him as they "perceive" based on internet rumour and inuendo that he is arrogant and unfit. Let's leave it to the professionals who will decide whether he has something to offer!

[Matthew Le Tissier]

I agree Fred.

 

From what rumours I have heard over the years, if true, he wouldn't be someone I would like to go out drinking with,

 

But that's not saying I wouldn't want him in my team cuz I would

But that is complete speculation.

[Spudders]

I just don't see the point of getting him. He's too similar to Lambert

Yes that's a good point, why would we want another player comparable to the top goal scorer in the championship?

[Matthew Le Tissier]

Lol

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

Yes that's a good point, why would we want another player comparable to the top goal scorer in the championship?

 

Yes, I'd be gutted to have 2 Rickie Lambert's up front...
