Avenue Saint Posted 5 December, 2012 Posted 5 December, 2012 Don't know what to make of this post! Tragic. Lol. Still being an annoying little willy I see...
melmacian_saint Posted 5 December, 2012 Posted 5 December, 2012 The fact that in this forum some people still dread for Football League cult heroes shows how long it's been since we've been here. And yes, the difference is WAY bigger than it was in 2005.
Dig Dig Posted 2 September, 2013 Author Posted 2 September, 2013 Just bumping this to see if anyone who gave me grief about this thread wants to apologies? Once again, I demonstrate remarkable foresight and I usually graciously go about my business quietly and professionally but do feel compelled to call this out on this occassion.
Dig Dig Posted 2 September, 2013 Author Posted 2 September, 2013 Sorry Dig Dog, you are the greatest. Cheers pal, hope your graciousness rubs off all over the face's of others.
hypochondriac Posted 2 September, 2013 Posted 2 September, 2013 Lol. Still being an annoying little willy I see... Do you just follow the likes of myself Turkish and cb around the board? It certainly seems that way.
pap Posted 2 September, 2013 Posted 2 September, 2013 Do you just follow the likes of myself Turkish and cb around the board? It certainly seems that way. Blimey hypo, I've been on this site from the get go. I wouldn't say you were like Turkish or CB at all, from the limited amount of time I've spent here. What would you say are the similarities?

I don't consider myself similar to them other than having some views on sfc in common but Avenue saints seems to follow cb myself and Turkish around amongst others.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 2 September, 2013 Posted 2 September, 2013 No we should not off load Ramierez! I believe he will prove his worth this season and will link well with Osvaldo! Remember Spurs thought Bale was not up to it for nearly 2 seasons!

My 1st post on this thread! Superb insight DD....... alot of apologies owed to you from the clappy crew fat chance of receiving any though

Superb insight DD....... alot of apologies owed to you from the clappy crew fat chance of receiving any though Sorry what was the superb insight? Was it that a gifted young 22 year old would take time to settle in the UK and premiership?
Glasgow_Saint Posted 2 September, 2013 Posted 2 September, 2013 Sorry what was the superb insight? Was it that a gifted young 22 year old would take time to settle in the UK and premiership? I am a patient guy but 14 odd months and we are still waiting. Enough is enough. DD is the master at spotting talent and called this one early
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 2 September, 2013 Posted 2 September, 2013 I don't know how many times I've read on here, but apparently last season was a kind of prolonged 'settling-in' period for this player and this season he will come into bloom and prove all his doubters wrong. From what I've seen so far this season I must say we still appear to be patently waiting for the 'real' Gaston to turn up. My advice to him would be that 'sooner would be better than later' young man.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 2 September, 2013 Posted 2 September, 2013 I am a patient guy but 14 odd months and we are still waiting. Enough is enough. DD is the master at spotting talent and called this one early All I can say is i am glad we are managed by MP and not DD then!
Dig Dig Posted 2 September, 2013 Author Posted 2 September, 2013 All I can say is i am glad we are managed by MP and not DD then! If Glasgow and I where somehow part of the scouting/transfer committee at Saints, we'd have an incredible squad by now.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 2 September, 2013 Posted 2 September, 2013 If Glasgow and I where somehow part of the scouting/transfer committee at Saints, we'd have an incredible squad by now. Dont think anyone would argue with that
Saint Without a Halo Posted 2 September, 2013 Posted 2 September, 2013 If Glasgow and I where somehow part of the scouting/transfer committee at Saints, we'd have an incredible squad by now. I look forward to your and Glasgows ascent to power! as there is nothing more I want than Saints having an incredible squad!
Barry Sanchez Posted 2 September, 2013 Posted 2 September, 2013 I believe I have been saying it for a while, you cant flog a dead horse, well you can but it wont do any good, he is finished as a Saints players, the WORST signing ever, at least Dia was on a trail, would we keep Ramirez if he was on a trial? The only thing keeping him here is Cortese's ego.
Sour Mash Posted 2 September, 2013 Posted 2 September, 2013 I'd actually like us to give Ramirez one long run of starting games and playing 90mins. If he's going to be here he needs that, otherwise he may as well be shipped out this coming January.

The only way we'll know for sure is if he gets a run of games. I'd like to see a front 4 of the following given a run of 5 games or so: Rodriguez Ramirez Lallana Osvaldo If Ramirez doesn't make an impact in a settled line-up, the writing will be on the wall.
Barry Sanchez Posted 2 September, 2013 Posted 2 September, 2013 ******** to it, lets give Fox and Guly a go as well.
Dig Dig Posted 2 September, 2013 Author Posted 2 September, 2013 ******** to it, lets give Fox and Guly a go as well. Don't get silly now.
Sour Mash Posted 2 September, 2013 Posted 2 September, 2013 He is too unfit, he cant hack it, lazy and uninterested. Possibly, but we'll only find out 100% if he's given a run of starts. If not, there is no point have £12m and £60k a week tied up on the bench with 15mins sub cameo appearances.

If he's going to be here he needs that, otherwise he may as well be shipped out this coming January. Who would you drop to do this? Lallana seems to have made a good start to the season and stepped his game up from last season. Osvaldo is providing a bit more competition too. and as much as I thing Rodriguez is below par, he's about the only option we now have that offers some genuine pace and some form of ability to get on the ball and put defenders on the back foot. I'll be honest, I don't really know what our best starting line-up is since Osvaldo arrived; only to say that it seems to have pushed Ramirez backwards if anything.

Hard to call, but most likely Lambert I'm afraid. He can have Osvaldo's movement ahead of him. Just don't see a point in him hanging around otherwise.

Just don't see a point in him hanging around otherwise. Too early to say for sure but I'm not sure if the intent is for Rickie to make way. But then as i said I really have no idea what our first choice XI is going to be; our forward options look rather disjointed to me.
Turkish Posted 2 September, 2013 Posted 2 September, 2013 Hard to call, but most likely Lambert I'm afraid. He can have Osvaldo's movement ahead of him. Just don't see a point in him hanging around otherwise. Yep, if we're going to persist with 4-2-3-1 then it's Osvaldo in for Lambert I'm afraid, then Ramirez to play a free role behind him. Agree Ramirez needs a run in the side as its jot doing him or us any good him just playing 20 minute cameos.
Avenue Saint Posted 2 September, 2013 Posted 2 September, 2013 Do you just follow the likes of myself Turkish and cb around the board? It certainly seems that way. Why are you trying to rope those two in? They might be annoying shiits at times, not too dissimilar to me to some no doubt but the crucial difference to YOU is that they appear consistent! You're just a plain fool with no consistency and have a HISTORY of posting absolute controversial "look at me" rubbish. Let anyone if they can be bothered browse through your previous, and they will know what kind of idiot you truly are. I don't forget mate. When I see horse, I'll call it a horse, when I see a troll, no matter how much they try dressing it up, I'll call it a TROLL. Now jog on...
Barry Sanchez Posted 2 September, 2013 Posted 2 September, 2013 Oh the old look at me routine hey Av? That was me last night, now Hypo, you're boring and abusive.
Avenue Saint Posted 2 September, 2013 Posted 2 September, 2013 Oh the old look at me routine hey Av? That was me last night, now Hypo, you're boring and abusive. Are we still a cheap club Barry who never spend?
Barry Sanchez Posted 2 September, 2013 Posted 2 September, 2013 No, what we spend it on is another matter.
Saint Charlie Posted 21 August, 2015 Posted 21 August, 2015 Noticed he was back in training this week but the official line still seems to be that he has no future at the club. I guess he will leave on loan somewhere on deadline day?

I guess he will leave on loan somewhere on deadline day? I don't understand why we're not prepared to give him a chance...
shurlock Posted 21 August, 2015 Posted 21 August, 2015 Money. He came on at West Ham last year and did pretty well, would clearly have been at least a useful squad player, but we loaned him out. Tadic lost form and we had little creative spark. But we can't afford to have those wages on a sub. FFP is screwing clubs like us basically. He'll go back to Serie A and probably do well. Money -or more accurately value for money- is one thing; FFP is another. FFP has nothing to do with whether we keep one player like Ramirez.
Dig Dig Posted 21 August, 2015 Author Posted 21 August, 2015 I don't understand why we're not prepared to give him a chance... Seems to be fitness and application. Koeman said it's difficult as he is always getting injured and can never get to the levels of the rest of the squad who are all extremely fit.
Mattio Posted 21 August, 2015 Posted 21 August, 2015 No we should not off load Ramierez! I believe he will prove his worth this season and will link well with Osvaldo! Remember Spurs thought Bale was not up to it for nearly 2 seasons!
Batman Posted 21 August, 2015 Posted 21 August, 2015 (edited) dig dig got shot down in his OP. gaston is our best player, apparently and Dig Dig must be a skate for suggesting we should ship him out Edited 21 August, 2015 by Batman
Lighthouse Posted 21 August, 2015 Posted 21 August, 2015 dig dig got shot down in his OP. gaston is our best player, apparently and Dig Dig must be a skate for suggesting we should ship him out You can't tell the difference between writing a player off after 3 years and writing him off within 2 months and 8 days of signing? Gaston looked very promising when he first signed and was one of our best players until he was injured. Now is another matter, he's failed to deliver fairly consistently and doesn't seem to have the drive and desire to get fit and into the team.

Now is another matter, he's failed to deliver fairly consistently and doesn't seem to have the drive and desire to get fit and into the team. it is a shame. most definitely has the talent. remember reading a piece from tim vickery when we signed him, who stated that gaston would very much struggle with english football...sadly, he was/is bang on
saintadam Posted 21 August, 2015 Posted 21 August, 2015 What kind of wages is Ramirez on anyways? Best paid in the club? Ive not been impressed by Ramirez but I don't really think he have got much of a chance. I wonder what would happen if he would be given a good run in the team, im sure he could do at least equally good as JWP.
alpine_saint Posted 21 August, 2015 Posted 21 August, 2015 I don't understand why we're not prepared to give him a chance... Really ? Do you really not understand ?
