georgeweahscousin Posted 14 March, 2012 Share Posted 14 March, 2012 A few Skates seem convinced he is on his way to us on loan. Fuelled by paper talk and him deleting his twitter account last night. Brave move by the lad if true. Would he be first choice for us? Not for me, still remember Lambert bullying him when he was playing for Bournemouth. If he takes the leap though, then I like to think we will back him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norwaysaint Posted 14 March, 2012 Share Posted 14 March, 2012 As a manager there'd be Alan Ball, as mentioned in his wiki page, ahem: In January 1998, Ball was contacted by Brian Howe, who informed him he was to make a takeover bid for the club and that he would like Ball to manage the club. This led to Ball returning to Portsmouth as manager in February 1998, however the take-over never came about. When he was appointed Pompey were several points adrift at the bottom of the table and enduring a near-fatal financial crisis, going into administration for over a year.

shurlock Posted 14 March, 2012 Share Posted 14 March, 2012 One of Lambert's worst performances in a saints shirt was at bournemouth last season. Got no joy from Pearce in the air. Where Pearce needs to improve is his delivery out of defence -bit of a hoof merchant- and he tends to get too tight to his man. Still a left-sided CB is a rare thing -and possibly suggests seaborne's days are numbered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Balls Posted 14 March, 2012 Share Posted 14 March, 2012 Lets hope it's not for a big fee. But surely it would have to be a loan with a view to making it perminant? Imagine if he comes here, takes us up and then has to return! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

once_bitterne Posted 14 March, 2012 Share Posted 14 March, 2012 Seabourne & Jaidi back in training ... do we need him ? Jaidi is ancient and is nowhere near in the shape to play in the Championship. That's why Adkins choose to play Fox at CB over him. Jaidi won't be seen in a first team shirt again and will be released come season's end. Seaborne is coming back from a very serious head injury so is also nowhere near ready to be thrown into a promotion battle. In any case, even in his prime I have seen little to show he is anything better than a L1 level CB. Pearce has been playing in the Championship all season so as backup to Fonte and Jos I would say he would also be above Martin in the pecking order. He would be a great addition.

IronCitySaint Posted 14 March, 2012 Share Posted 14 March, 2012 Think that was the Everton game where he should have run to the corner (Beattie also scored against us that day). Redknapp's first game in charge was highlighted by conceding two goals in the last minute to blow a 2-0 lead over Middlesbrough. Still, Crouch was our best player that miserable season.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 14 March, 2012 Share Posted 14 March, 2012 This would be the Cortese equivalent of throwing some money in a bucket for them. I would think it is more to do with weakening them to ensure we get 4 points off them this year as providing cover for a position we already have cover for. Having lost their captain, their goal keeper and it looks like their anchor man, what is left for them? Their reasonably solid defensive pairing. Take away one of them and they have pretty much lost the spine of their team. Hopefully they replace him with someone like Olly Lancashire on loan.
