(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 3 January, 2012 Share Posted 3 January, 2012 Ok, let's wait for these mystical signings to turn up before we do anything to address the teams shortcomings. Do you mean mystical or mythical? I didn't know that this alleged new striker was a fortune teller? If you meant mythical I presume you'll be man enough to admit you were wrong when we do strengthen? Or will you slate them, then go quiet when they play well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbojones10 Posted 3 January, 2012 Share Posted 3 January, 2012 I really would like him back, people forget that in his first year he was named in league 1 team of the year and only really lost his place in the side because of the rise of the ox, he can be a very good player. He was sensational for millwall in the champ last year and was no mug in the premier league, if the saints management are going to refuse to deal with any modern day footballer who has a bit of a chip or ego then we should all kiss goodbye to saints ever signing top quality players.

Special K Posted 4 January, 2012 Share Posted 4 January, 2012 Attitude problem or not, he needs to be in contention (if only to dress it up as putting him in the shop window).

The Cat Posted 5 January, 2012 Share Posted 5 January, 2012 More Puncheon news at the bottom of this article. Results of fitness tests aside, it reads as if it's distinctly possible he'll be playing for us again. "Jason Puncheon has also come back into the building for the first time this morning from being on loan. We have done a little MOT on him and assessed him from a fitness point of view, just to see where he is. "We will sit down and have a discussion as to where we are with it, to see what his future holds with him. He has had almost a year out on loan now at Blackpool and then QPR, so we need to sit down and decide what the future holds." http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2567651,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 6 January, 2012 Share Posted 6 January, 2012 I cant believe there's any debate over this. There's obviously a problem between him and Adkin's and I know who I'd back every day of the week. If Adkin's wants to freeze him out, then that's fine by me. We are hardly talking about a Matt Le Tiss/Ian Branfoot situation here. The guy "appears" to not want to play for the club, is not paticulary good anyway, so if Adkin's wants to freeze him out, what's the problem? He's been out on loan at Millwall, Blackpool and Qpr, if he was a good as a few posters seem to think, then why is he still here? The occasional good game and a couple of flashes of good play, are not enough to convince me that Adkin's is wrong over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 6 January, 2012 Share Posted 6 January, 2012 Is there a chance his attitude has changed? Not in the sense that he's mellowed, but merely that it's no longer a L1 team he's struggling to get into due to a 17 year old, it's the top Championship side, possibly the best team he'll get right now, the chance to be part of a promotion, a team with few wingers and the chance to prove people wrong. If he came in with the right attitude and the right reception from the fans, even if just for 5 months, he could be a fantastic addition, better than any midfield signing we could make really. His time at Millwall was superb after all. Could even play up front. That's not a change in attitude though, that's just a change in the surroundings. The point is that we don't want him here because he got so sh*tty about being on the bench in a league one side to a 17 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the question was - would you like for NA to give Puncheon another chance? We can easily agree that it's not worth discussing as long as NA (allegedly) does not want JP here, but what if they buried the hatchet - could JP add something to the team? Would the fans accept him back? etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally would really like him to do well even if he does have previous with Adkins/Cortese (not to mention turning up to a funeral inapropriatly dressed) mainly due to the fact he's what we at times are missing.

He was not wearing jeans and a t-shirt, as people seemed to want to believe at the time. He was wearing black trousers and a shirt. I can only imagine people got wound up about him not wearing a jacket - in summer, when nearly all the people outside were wearing Saints shirts and shorts.

I don't want to see JP back in the team, I've been open about that for a long time. But NA's comments on the OS suggest he will at least talk with him and see where his heads at. I can only imagine if JP says he wants to be involved again, wants to work for and with the team, will put in the effort and show patience, NA will give him the chance to prove that. If that is the case, I'll support it, I'm a Saints fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
