KelvinsRightGlove Posted 30 June, 2012 Share Posted 30 June, 2012 Was chatting to a Rangers fan last night. Their lot are convinced Davis to Saints is as good as done? Apparently we are giving him a £2m signing on fee - hence is willingness to jump ship. I said(& think) it seems an odd one, with central midfield probably being one of our stronger positions, with Morgan & Cork being two of out best players (IMO). Anyway, just thought I'd pass this on, not so sure of this myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guess, it just sounds a lot to give a player that hardly set the world alight in his last stint in the Premier League. Based on the words of this Rangers fan, who has seen a lot more of the fella than myself (I haven't seen a huge amount if I'm being honest) and his thoughts were he has a tendency to go missing for long periods in big games. Just doesn't seem to go along with the transfer policy of signing players better than what we have, he also doesn't seem to possess the 'character' we look for in players. I could quite easily be wrong, I thought England wouldn't win a game at the Euro's, so what do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 30 June, 2012 Share Posted 30 June, 2012 Davis would be a safe bit of business although not sure a £2m signing on fee if true would be absolute best value. He'll do a job and certainly compete with Morgan, Cork and Chaplow, possibly Lallana if Adkins brings him more in the centre of the pitch next season. Michu would be more interesting as he sounds better than what we have but the trail has gone cold. Whittaker is a reasonable player and on paper a good free transfer but Lowe went down that route with signing lots of players like Mickael Nilsson and Kenton and look where that headed so happy to leave that one with Norwich.

There is need for competition for places. However, what I meant was that from what little I have seen and what Gers fans have told me, Davis doesn't seem to go along with our policy of signing better than what we already have?

ericb Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 I'm not sure how up to it Chappers & Hammond are Quite simply Hammond isn't up to it, and Chaplow is a bit part player at best. The amount the later gave the ball away cheaply in the championship won't have gone unnoticed, do that in the prem and we'll get murdered. Of course he runs around a lot so most saints fans think he's the second coming and i'll get a barrage of abuse for this, in the same way i did when i suggested Jaidi was a distance off being good enough for the championship.

Chaplow seems to have been elevated to some sort of footballing god in some fans eyes due to his 5 or 6 decent performances around October time. He was decent when he joined, had a purple patch in October but for the rest of his time here has been pretty average.

shurlock Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 (edited) Definitely punched above his weight. But the qualities Chaplow brings -the ability to make runs from deep into the box and press high up the pitch- were sorely missed at times last season. We need upgrade on Chaplow, even if the original is not up to it. Edited 1 July, 2012 by shurlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaplow was indeed quality for a good few games and then never lived up to those performances after he came back from injury. In one or two of the games he was absent, I thought we missed him. You'll never find me disagreeing on the whole running around = good performance bit though. Working hard doesn't mean playing well. Look at James Milner in Euro 2012. Always praised for working hard, yet he was terrible. Against Sweden we were all told that they were vulnerable from crosses so we had to get as many of them in the box as we could. Milner couldn't even beat his first man, let alone get a cross to Carroll's head. That's Andy Carroll - the huge target man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 he's certainly no football god, but having a few hard running players in your side is important. I'm sure TDD probably knows a couple of Royal Marines that are fit enough for that role. But if we are talking football, then someone who can maintain possession and make an accurate pass and has good close control skills while running around would be a better addition. Thing with Chappers is he took another injury to his knee (had it fixed down here) AFTER he came back from that he was not the same player. Considering the Doc who did the work here is one of the global specialists that PL players go to when the knee needs something a bit more than the usual keyhole stuff MAY indicate that his drop off in form and consistency are linked to the injury. Now Chaplow at the start of last season may be able to cut it in the PL. The Chaplow who played in the latter end of the season is NOT going to make it no matter how much he runs around. The latter Chappers needs replacing. It must be the med staff & Nige's call. Doesn't stop them finding someone better at running around aimlessly than a Royal Marine - a Gareth Barry for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
