Thedelldays Posted 29 July, 2012 Share Posted 29 July, 2012 Really I suppose these quotes attibuted to him then are wrong? http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/southampton-boss-adkins-targeting-goalkeeper-and-defenders-3349611 "With Radhi Jaidi retiring and the uncertainty over Dan Seaborne coming back, we will be bringing another one if not two centre-halves into the football club to keep improving."

doddisalegend Posted 29 July, 2012 Share Posted 29 July, 2012 im not too sure what point you are trying to make.. I believe the point he is making is becuase NA has said he is looking for a CB, an interview we might not have all read, that means we are not allowed to mention that the current defence might not be up to the rigours of the PL:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What some of us are happy to do is leave it to the manager who has clearly stated he wants to bring in one or two without being a chuffing bedwetter.

Somebody said Adkins 'has not' said we're looking to bring in one if not two CB's, the post above was clarifying that fact with the direct quote where Adkins did indeed say that. That's the point being made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry show me were Delldays (or anybody else) is bed wetting ....All DDs said was the defence needs work and you jumped on him. Not everybody has time to read every f ucking saints interview. As for leaving it to the manager stop being a cock the whole point of a forum is discuss and put forward a point of view it's not like Delldays (or anybody else) is phoning Nigel up and telling him to sort out the defence...

Thedelldays Posted 29 July, 2012 Share Posted 29 July, 2012 I know Adkins said more will be coming in Can you point to me where he said they will be better than fonte. They may well be in the gazzaniga mould for all we know I doubt it but ŷou never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Saint Posted 29 July, 2012 Share Posted 29 July, 2012 I sill believe we need an experienced spine,or someone with experience in each dept. CB,Midfield and up top. someone that has done it and seen it in the Prem.or at an equivalent level. this does not mean going for the player that is on one last hoorah and pay deal. just someone that has a level head and experience. im not confident in Davis or even Gazzaniga,we need another keeper also. i am hoping beyond hope that the great fire power we potentially have,that would be fantastic in the NPC,can cut it in th Prem. this does not mean I want us to go and get players that are stars and somewhat pre madonnas,and that we have to upset the balance of youth and experience. But something is missing. "pre madonnas"? Amusing! Like St. Anne? prima donnas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may well be in the gazzaniga mould for all we know I doubt it but ŷou never know You think we won't sign someone better than Fonte then ...fair enough but personally I think our policy in transfers is we don't sign someone better than what we have. Not sure what you mean by "gazzaniga mould" I am sure you are not basing one poor kick as a bad signing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look you obviously can't read and I never jumped on him...as you seem over protective of him I will explain again.

I was showing him the quote.... again I will say that I am not convinced our defence is right either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graffito Posted 30 July, 2012 Share Posted 30 July, 2012 Difficult to draw any firm conclusions as the new formation is a work in progress and this was after all a friendly. The formation provided defensive solidity, defensive lapses from Fonte being due probably to lack of concentration/poor judgement. It worked better when Saints played a higher line and got forward in support of Lambert. Playing deep and soaking up pressure will only work if we have more pace in the side to break on the counter attack. In any event we need to move the ball much quicker and for players to keep interchanging in midfield and upfront. It will take time to bed in.
