Saint Garrett Posted 21 December, 2012 Posted 21 December, 2012 Wes Morgan is decent, but nowhere near Prem quality.
disconnect Posted 21 December, 2012 Posted 21 December, 2012 Saint-Armstrong said: Paddy McCarthy. Would be a massive surprise - quite old(?) and been out injured most of the season.
Window Cleaner Posted 21 December, 2012 Posted 21 December, 2012 Saint Garrett said: Wes Morgan is decent, but nowhere near Prem quality. which is why Nixon writes of "risk" and a "surprising choice" I suppose. Obviously thinks that whoever it is isn't PL standard.
Saint Garrett Posted 21 December, 2012 Posted 21 December, 2012 I'd be very worried if we brought in Wes Morgan as a first choice CB.
badgerx16 Posted 21 December, 2012 Posted 21 December, 2012 Not sure if it's been posted but apparently Paul Robinson is expected to be leaving Blackburn - and as usual Saints are linked.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 21 December, 2012 Posted 21 December, 2012 Is Wes Morgan the one who got sent off against us for an elbow?
shurlock Posted 21 December, 2012 Posted 21 December, 2012 Quote Is Wes Morgan the one who got sent off against us for an elbow? No that was Luke Chambers.
Nigel=God-Poyet=Sod Posted 21 December, 2012 Posted 21 December, 2012 Wes Morgan is actually a really good defender, certainly at championship. Will perhaps be a bit sluggish in the PL and a bit too old? Could do alot worse if it is him we're linked with.

Could do alot worse if it is him we're linked with. there's no evidence that it is Wes Morgan, I just picked him out from the surprise and typical championship (or whatever it was) comments. Bloke has played about 400 championship games for just a couple of clubs. Forest and Leicester, maybe one other.
Katalinic Posted 21 December, 2012 Posted 21 December, 2012 Roger Johnson was linked in the summer so maybe a re-hash of that?
Matthew Le God Posted 21 December, 2012 Posted 21 December, 2012 Katalinic said: Roger Johnson was linked in the summer so maybe a re-hash of that? Nixon says it is a "new name", so not a re-hash. Saint Charlie said: Everyone's favourite Journalist Alan Nixon says the Sunday People should have a story on a Saints defensive target. His comments: "New name, bit of a suprise" "Bit of a risk. But very honest player" "You're always better judging players AFTER they move" "A very whole-hearted Championship player"
Chez Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Everton's Distan linked with Sunderland. Mega wages...
Wade Garrett Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Chez said: Everton's Distan linked with Sunderland. Mega wages... And he's 35.
skintsaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Wade Garrett said: And he's 35. and still better than what we have imo. Would be a quality short term fix, on a free you can offer a bit more wages as Sunderland are looking at doing by the looks of things.

del boy Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 This thread is a good illustration of how tight things are being kept at Saints - no hint of a plausible rumour. Even those pretending to be ITK have gone quiet. Not long to wait.
dubai_phil Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Ouch We have failed to win ANY of our 5 previous PL games when Howard Webb was in charge
Rebel Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 CaneNero said: Let's give mayuka a start! Please! Well that was a terrible mistake today - let's hope he had a good ACON so we can flog him at a profit!
Lighthouse Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Rebel said: Well that was a terrible mistake today - let's hope he had a good ACON so we can flog him at a profit! Seriously? You're not wishing for him to come back and start moving mountains in Southampton, you'd rather sell him and make some money? Is your name Rupert?
Rebel Posted 23 December, 2012 Posted 23 December, 2012 I'm still not sure why we bought Mayuka - we needed wingers not another striker - and a,though he has pace he didn't look like much of either yesterday. I think we are going to need to do a bit of wheeling and dealing in January so yes I do hope he has a good ACON so we can sell him at a profit - either in January or the Summer as I don't think we are going to see much more out of him at St Mary's. He was the major reason the team looked flat yesterday - they were creating chances and making the play to start off with but every single one broke down when he failed to get the ball or mis-controlled it. Sometimes football does come down to having your one chance and taking it - and yesterday he really didn't take it.
itchen_dan Posted 23 December, 2012 Posted 23 December, 2012 Anyone seen the Nixon transfer story in the People yet? Who is it?
Nigel=God-Poyet=Sod Posted 23 December, 2012 Posted 23 December, 2012 Shane Lowry from Millwall. Supposedly lining up a £1.5M bid.

Saint Charlie Posted 23 December, 2012 Posted 23 December, 2012 Not seen a lot of him but Villa let him go in the summer. Is he any better than Hooiveld or Yoshida?

Not saying he isn't as havent seen much of him, but no point getting anyone unless they come straight into the side an improve it.

LeBenali Posted 23 December, 2012 Posted 23 December, 2012 Friedel has revealed on Twitter that he is expecting an announcement on his future in the next couple of days...so we shall soon see if the earlier rumours that we were interested in him are true!

Saint Charlie Posted 23 December, 2012 Posted 23 December, 2012 Chez said: didn't he only join Millwall in the summer? Yes, from Villa, who are keen for any young player they have who is good enough to be in their first XI.

So Lowry is a young defender deemed not good enough to get into a Villa side battered 8-0 by Chelsea today, as he was moved on in the summer? Eek!
