Chez Posted 14 October, 2011 Share Posted 14 October, 2011 Richardson is having a very good season and will be fine until Stephens is ready, which hopefully will be just in time for when Butterfield has to step down a level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 14 October, 2011 Share Posted 14 October, 2011 (edited) Interesting that his name came up just this week as I was watching, (along with half the nation) - the Euro match v. Holland midweek and he was outstanding. Can't say the Dutch were off-form, they really made a match of it, but the new-look Swedish defence under manager Erik Hamrén really played the Dutch at their own game. Only goalie Isaksson, Olov Mellberg, Kim Källström and Anders Svensson remain as familair names at the back, whilst a strike force had developed that can function without Milan star Zlatan (suspended). Sebastian Larsson,(Sund.) Christian Wilhemsson,(ex-Prem.) and Johan Elmander (ex Bolton) battle away whilst the new names like Rasmus Elm and Ola Toivonen are fast becoming regulars. Michael Lustig (pronounced like lusty but with a g-sound on the end) really stands out as a new star. Not overly tall, but he has good ball control, can tackle hard (without getting too many yellow cards) and plays well on the overlap. CHDAJFU?..I think so...and I was as persuasive as Nigel Adkins can be, I'd take a second look at Toivanen too. They are both still young and we need to remember the old adage when getting foreign players..." BUY 'EM IN PAIRS !" PREMIERSHIP ...you can't have too small a squad and he'd be a good complement to Richardson next season, especially as Buttefield is only on a 1 year contract.

Even though Frazer has been fantastic this season so far, we could still do with a new right back Seems like a bit of a contradiction to me - getting new players for the sake of it is a bad route to go down (again). I can see Richardson being the top RB in the league if he continues this form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 14 October, 2011 Author Share Posted 14 October, 2011 Contradiction maybe....but meant in a way that Richardson was hardly convincing last season and if we can better ourselves in positions then why not add him to the squad i.e. Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Le Shearer Posted 17 October, 2011 Share Posted 17 October, 2011 I`ve watched him a lot on Norwegian telly, probably seen well over half of Rosenborgs matches this season. He is no-where near Richardsons level. The Norwegian PL this year is the poorest ever, not one of the teams would stand any chance of survival in the Championship. The fact that Lustig still hangs about here,suggests that he isnt very good. He looks allright going forward,but is a huge liability defending. Plus he is weak, skinny and not a tackler by any means ! He has got a reasonable cross on him though, but in my (well informed) opinion he would be useless for Saints.

OVER THE HILL Posted 16 November, 2011 Share Posted 16 November, 2011 Looked a vey average player against England. Done for pace several times and was substituted early in the second half.To sum up no better on this showing than the players we have already.

sir_fred Posted 16 November, 2011 Share Posted 16 November, 2011 He is a an average player. Descent going forward, descent defending but only plays for Sweden due to a total lack of full backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 17 November, 2011 Share Posted 17 November, 2011 (edited) Looked a vey average player against England. Done for pace several times and was substituted early in the second half. To sum up no better on this showing than the players we have already. quite a few players looked pretty average, and not just in the Swedish side either. However, I thought Englanda midfield was poor but I was impressed by the English full-back pairing though. Downing is a very experienced player, if a winger can't beat his man often enough...he ought not to be playing in the side. It wasn't just Lustig who was subbed. did you see that both sides changed out and new manager Hamren tried out at least half a dozen other players in the second half. The idea of friendlies is try out new players / formations. Getting a result is fine, but it's the way to discover new players. I would have thought with the chances that England had they should have got a few more goals ..as it was the Swedish defender headed the ball past his own keeper for the goal. If I was Capello I'd be worrying where I could find an alternative strike force (without Rooney) for when England play some real opposition in the Euro competition.
