I would reject all bids.

 

The only cover we have for a 17 year old. Also, what does it say about Dan Harding's role at the City Ground?

We all knew Harding wasn't good enough for us in the NPC, so why would he be good enough for Forest if they're going for promotion? Ideally the more of our promotion side they have the better for them!

 

Fox is a great player to have in the NPC just for his dead ball delivery, and his defending doesn't get caught out really. Would be a good signing for them, but I don't think we should let him go unless we bring in another LB.

maybe Adkins knows something we don't and someone else is being lined up

 

Is this a joke? Adkins doesn't know anything which is not known on this forum.

Not adverse to him moving on if the bid was right however leaves us in an interesting situation at left back. How do you buy a good left back with him knowing he'll be second choice to a 17 year old? Then if you can't convince someone to come in with the required experience / quality how would you feel for Shaw's backup to be unproven? Then if we got relegated and Shaw left...

 

All ifs and buts however is a difficult situation to manage.

Perhaps with Riise being told he's free to leave Fulham, would he be better back up to shaw than fox?

 

 

If he was willing to take a pay-cut he'd be fantastic back up for Luke.

Just get rid and we can work on it quickly over the next 2 weeks.

 

Has proven him self to categorically be unable to play LB in the premier league, maybe left wing but Shaw coming off against villa blew that chance. Take a decent price (at least what we paid for him) and move on. Thank's for the 18 months (12 of good service).

Think it might be better to get Ashley Cole as backup for Shaw as he is looking likely to leave Chelski.

You just reminded me, I had a dream last night where I met Ashley Cole on a bus and tried to persuade him to join Saints. He seemed to find the idea a bit of a joke unfortunately.

Yes but that was just a dream. In real life however.......

Have everybody forgotten about Ben Reeves? He was originally a left back who we re-schooled to CM. His progress is hampered there and he has once been subbed in as LB. Has always acquitted himself well, so why not be first back-up for Shaw?

I thought you paid attention to the Villa game. Apparently not. Gashed knee / leg
This is Alpine Skate we are talking about, he only frequents the match threads if Saints are losing, and NEVER goes to home games. He's not a Saints supporter by any stretch of the imagination., he's just a grizzling fat tart.

Ben Reeves perhaps, but we have an extremely promising 17-yr old LB coming through the Academy ranks hot on Shaw's heels. Can't remember his name off-hand.

 

Targett

We could buy someone better than Shaw and have Shaw as the cover? He is only 17 after all.

Warnock at Villa is available and linked with Fulham. I'm not a huge fan, but he had a spell at Villa when England cap was talked about.

Posted
Clyne, Yoshida & if he signs Forren are good enough cover for Shaw.

 

are they? One decent half against Villa doesn't convince me that Clyne can do it. One woeful showing at West Ham convinced me Yoshida can't. Reeves might fit the bill, but could be sure.

This is it lads - Fox out, we bring back Wayne Bridge.

 

Ramirez back to Italy? Brian Howard/Stock!!!

 

Lambert to West Ham? Lukas Jutkiewicz!!!

 

James Beattie could still do a job for us IMO. And don't forget we need a wide player and Wade Elliot would surely be available and up for the move.

Harding signed for Swindon?

Good thinking, nowhere near enough Saints fans in the side. So bugger the playing ability, let's have some fans in.

Craig David could do a job as cover for Shaw. Get Lucy Pinder in the side and we're winning.

You get someone in who would be first choice and Shaw goes back to being cover and you bring him on more slowly.

No he is ready now, Shaw is 1st choice we need cover for him

Shaw is rated amongst the top 10 hottest properties in world football.

 

The 17 year old Taggert/Targett? is rated as being better than Shaw but less advanced in terms of gamebrain.

 

Why bring in another player....

 

When we have Seabourne and Fox.......

 

Clyne & Cork then

Why bring in another player? Because he's 17.

Are you also suggesting playing Cork at LB? And do you really think Seabourne is good enough to play LB in the premier? I don't think that would be a good idea.
