James Beattie

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.

 

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

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

 

 

Who tends to dislike the ex saints organisation?

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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!

But that is complete speculation.
