I thought he did quite well when he went to Notts county on loan end of last season? I'm guessing not well enough if he's going elsewhere. Still while not the most gifted player you'd think he'd be a useful adittion to a lot of league 1 or 2 teams. I wouldn't of thought we'd be asking a lot ofmoney for him. Lets hope he does well and the loan becomes something more long term for him.

Also expecting the players without squad numbers to go now (except possibly Dickson due to his twitter comments which suggested he wasn't allowed to), so we may see Reeves and Barnard going out too.

I don't think anyone below Championship level can afford his wages tbh, so whilst he had a good spell at Notts, they probably couldn't meet our valuation or his wages.

Pleased to see we are strengthening one of Pompey's L1 opponents. Fingers crossed he scores against them (if they're not already toast by the time that fixture comes round).

Gutted. Where are we going to find someone with such lightening pace and incredible strength? His scoring record is second to none for us. We clearly need to sell before we can buy.

Despite being a Saints fan, I live in Crawley and have slowly been introduced into watching them over the last 4 years or so. The company I work for sponsors the club so I got a ridiculously cheap season ticket this year. Will be interesting to see how he gets on...

There's nothing interesting about watching a professional footballer repeatedly fail to control a football. It's embarrassing for him, his fellow team mates and fans.

He was only trying to take a touch when he scored those 2 goals against MK Dons

Sometimes miss-controlling a ball can work out for you. He may have scored 2 goals against MK Dons but there is no getting away from the fact that he's an horrific player.

Do you mean De Ridder?

Not one of Nigel's finest moments I agree

I find it more painful watching him run head first into a group of players then sticking the ball in the stand.

 

Ahh well, he runs more than Guly and has a really cool song anyway.

Forté's just signed on loan to Crawley. Posted on the Saints official site.

 

When you say "just", did you mean "4 hours ago when first posted in this thread which is named for that actual piece of information" ?

Sorry Crawley. Not sure what you have done wrong

 

A quick Google will tell you. Massive expenditure in the Conference, no fans, and the most obnoxious and odious manager possible at the time.

 

Even so, giving them Johnno is a gift at that level.

I think the most odious and obnoxious manager has moved on to Rotherham... so I've set my default dislike to them now

Scored today. I get the feeling I'm going to miss the lower leagues this season. I loved the football down there, the feeling we can win every week, and where the likes of Forte are actually good. Good for him.

Crawley may have had a lot of investment back in the conference

But they've made a fair bit too with the sales of Wes Thomas, Matt Tubbs & Tyron Barnett & compensation for Sean O'Driscol sodding off to Forest. Also not forgetting that FA cup tie at old Trafford made enough money in a single game to offset that whole conference winning expenditure. Not exactly Pompey style is it?

 

Crowds at the Broadfield have quadrupled since the conference also.

 

You're right about Steve Evens though. Bit of a bulb and no mistake. At least he's not Crawley's problem now though.

I know what you mean......it's like going back 10 years being back in the PL were I wonder how many goals we can keep the opposition down to ...rather than the last few seasons where our players were some of the best in the league and we wondered how many we might win by.

The fact that two of the players we have just released out on loan both scored on their debuts does make me feel happy about the quality we now have in the squad. Only four years ago Forte and Barnard would have probably been in our starting XI rather than being 5th and 6th choice strikers.
