Saint_clark Posted 22 January, 2015 Posted 22 January, 2015 Still think he's got the potential to be a good player for us. The 3 at the back, 2 up top formation means that there's still a chance, but with Mane and Long it's only a slim one.

S-Clarke Posted 26 July, 2015 Posted 26 July, 2015 I still go back to that tweet from the end of last season, seemingly he had his contract terminated by mutual consent. I don't believe he's attached to us in anyway anymore, weird the club haven't said anything though.

S-Clarke Posted 26 July, 2015 Posted 26 July, 2015 What tweet? Sorry, wasn't a tweet. It was a post on his facebook page where he said something about starting a new adventure, can't find it now - but it was definitely posted on his facebook!

I don't believe he's attached to us in anyway anymore, weird the club haven't said anything though. I remember you posting that link too. This article has a quote from him: “I am still here' date=' in case of anything I will let you know,”[/quote'] https://www.daily-mail.co.zm/?p=37621 I guess it's a case of him being left behind & told he can find a club elsewhere.
S-Clarke Posted 26 July, 2015 Posted 26 July, 2015 Seemingly was a tweet, not a facebook post. I'll get it right soon.
jawillwill Posted 26 July, 2015 Author Posted 26 July, 2015 Well most of the other new players have got their own thred this evening.... I know he didn't get a huge amount of time on the field today, but he was much more noticable than he was against United. Looks like he has the potential to be a good player for us, and caused Villa fair few problems towards he end. Looked pretty desperate to make an impression and score - shame he didn't because I think it would have done the world of good for his confidence. Proof, if ever it was needed, that I know my football.
SuperSAINT Posted 26 July, 2015 Posted 26 July, 2015 Proof, if ever it was needed, that I know my football. To be fair to you -- That was his best game by a mile for us.
SarniaSaint Posted 27 July, 2015 Posted 27 July, 2015 So another Cortese signing bites the dust..................anyone surprised
Saint-Armstrong Posted 27 July, 2015 Posted 27 July, 2015 He doesn't use Twitter. All official accounts of anyone at the club are followed by the club themselves.
david in sweden Posted 27 July, 2015 Posted 27 July, 2015 So another Cortese signing bites the dust..................anyone surprised frankly ..NO ! . Cortese approved a few inspired signings who worked for a season or two, but Mayuka was a player who may have been outstanding at his former club, but was completely out of his depth at the highest level. Not really his fault. I'm sure he did his best, but it was poor judgement to have signed him, and costly to keep him. Hope he can make a new career start as he is still quite young.

spyinthesky Posted 27 July, 2015 Posted 27 July, 2015 So another Cortese signing bites the dust..................anyone surprised Appreciate it has been covered before BUT: Mayuka £3.0m (residual value - NIL) Forren £3.5m (residual value - uncertain - possibly most of money back) Ramirez £11.0m (residual value - £3m??) Osvaldo £13m (residual value - nil) All on Cortese's watch with some suggestion one of his relative's was a fixer for these deals
angelman Posted 27 July, 2015 Posted 27 July, 2015 Some suggestion? By who? You can look at each of the signings and make a case for them..... Mayuka - did well at Young Boys. 13 goals from 33 games in all competitions. Had done well at the ACN as well. Not expensive, a risk that didn't work out. Forren - we had Hooiveld, Fonte and Yoshida and he was 4th choice. I always see him as insurance, a back up. However, the first time he got on the bench was when José was off games and the CB partnership was Hooiveld and Yoshida (amazingly we beat Man City 3-1) Ramirez - his last season at Bologna, he scored 8 and assisted in 5 from 33 Serie A games. That's not shoddy from a midfielder. His first year with us, he played 26 PL games, scored 5 and assisted 3. For comparison, and yes I realise these stats don't tell the whole story, Lollana played 30, scored 3 assisted 6. Osvaldo - had the ability and no one was in doubt, as reinforced by where he played after us. The baggage though.....!!!
Saint_clark Posted 27 July, 2015 Posted 27 July, 2015 Why is it only those four who are Cortese signings? Why not Lovren who we made a huge profit on?
Redslo Posted 27 July, 2015 Posted 27 July, 2015 Appreciate it has been covered before BUT: Mayuka £3.0m (residual value - NIL) Forren £3.5m (residual value - uncertain - possibly most of money back) Ramirez £11.0m (residual value - £3m??)

Why not Lovren who we made a huge profit on? Or Wanyama, Rodriguez, Clyne, Boruc, Fonte, Lambert, S. Davis, Cork, or Puncheon. I recognize I have left a number of others out who were not helpful in the Premier league. Of course, if all of Cortese's bad signings were ones where he had a relative acting as the fixer, then there might be something to complain about but I doubt there is any evidence of this.

Heisenberg Posted 27 July, 2015 Posted 27 July, 2015 Some have just woken up and now understand why Nicola was fired and not employed by any other football club since........

But we need a scapegoat for our poor signings. Can I suggest Alpine, for rushing us into hasty purchases? I think it was pretty clear to us that those of Ramirez and Mayuka at the time seemed nothing to do with Nigel, and a few months later he was out the door, whereas players like Cork and Sharp were clearly his signings. I would like to think that Ramirez, Mayuka, Forren and Osvaldo were all 'Cortese pushed signings' and from his departure all our signings are going to end up as good as the rest. It might not be true but as a Saints fan I like to think this way

SarniaSaint Posted 27 July, 2015 Posted 27 July, 2015 Why is it only those four who are Cortese signings? Why not Lovren who we made a huge profit on? Lovren was signed on the cheap because no one wanted him.............after selling for a big profit you can see why

SuperSAINT Posted 29 July, 2015 Posted 29 July, 2015 Simon Peach @SimonPeach Ronald Koeman says Emmanuel Mayuka has no future at #SaintsFC & has suggested Gaston Ramirez's future is far from certain. Simon Peach @SimonPeach Koeman: "We have enough strikers & for Mayuka there is no future in the club. There is some contact with Les Reed about him" #SaintsFC
SO16_Saint Posted 29 July, 2015 Posted 29 July, 2015 Keep seeing Mayuka up David Lloyd Not for much longer it seems
SuperSAINT Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 (edited) Talk of signing for Metz. 3 year deal Updated with link : http://www.fcmetz.com/2015-2016/actualites/equipe-pro/un-attaquant-en-renfort Edited 31 August, 2015 by SuperSAINT
Sanjay Sanchez Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 Mayuka was at the game on Sunday, saw him with Gardos in the car park.
Suhari Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 Metz? Wasn't that a lemonade based alcopop in the early 00's?
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 Confirmed now by official Saints Twitter: CONFIRMED: Emmanuel Mayuka has joined French side @FCMetz_officiel on a permanent basis. #saintsfc pic.twitter.com/a97xwR7TxO
SuperSAINT Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 Imagine it was a fairly nominal fee. I wonder if we will ship Gaston out tomorrow? If he stays, can we still loan him out internationally?
alpine_saint Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 Metz? Wasn't that a lemonade based alcopop in the early 00's? Peach Schnapps, actually.
alpine_saint Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 I wonder if we will ship Gaston out tomorrow? Ooo, I hope so. Far too much bandwidth has been taken up by him over the past 3 years.
Katalinic Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 Ooo, I hope so. Far too much bandwidth has been taken up by him over the past 3 years. If there was a forum transfer window for posters you would be Gaston.
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 Is this an appropriate time to say Meltdown?
The9 Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 Imagine it was a fairly nominal fee. I wonder if we will ship Gaston out tomorrow? If he stays, can we still loan him out internationally? Always the option for a contract buy-out or mutual contract termination anyway.

simo Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 Good luck to him hope he gets his career back on track
Katalinic Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 But Ron said no-one would be leaving. 100%. He actually said no one in the first team but 2 or 3 squad players night be either permanently or on loan.
S-Clarke Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 Seems like a good lad, just a shame he had no ability what so ever.
Whitey Grandad Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 Didn't quite work out for him but I hope his experience with us helps him with his future career. I wish him all the best.
Viking Saint Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 Didn't quite work out for him but I hope his experience with us helps him with his future career. I wish him all the best. This.
waterlooville saint Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 A potentially exciting signing that never worked out. All the best for the future
