whelk Posted 12 June, 2013 Share Posted 12 June, 2013 Who do you think is our most intelligent or sophisticated player in current squad? Do we have any 'thinkers'? I follow a few on Twitter and most seem your stereotypical footballer who doesn't have much to say about anything other than Nandos or Fifa13. I suppose I could always ask Luke Shaw when he does his Twitter Q and A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristolSaint Posted 12 June, 2013 Share Posted 12 June, 2013 There was a time when we had the "most intelligent" team in the top flight as both Iain Dowie and Barry Horne were playing for saints had they both had degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydneysaint17 Posted 12 June, 2013 Share Posted 12 June, 2013 Shaw would be very much bottom of the pile on that one. Morgan, JWP and Kelvin have always seemed fairly intelligent to me but although an ex Saint, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain has always come across very well in interviews - especially considering his age.

JPTCount Posted 12 June, 2013 Share Posted 12 June, 2013 academic snobbery qualifications do not equal intelligence, just as drawing skills do not define creativeness Morgan reads Dostoevsky and Albert Camus, while JWP has interests in Fauvism and fine-art restoration. “Everything I know about morality and the obligations of men, I owe it to football.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Saint Posted 12 June, 2013 Share Posted 12 June, 2013 academic snobbery qualifications do not equal intelligence, just as drawing skills do not define creativeness “Everything I know about morality and the obligations of men, I owe it to football.” Don't think I mentioned anything about qualifications equaling intelligence, chap. I'm pretty sure it doesn't require a degree to read Dostoevsky or any classic literature. Reeks of inverse-snobbery your end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 12 June, 2013 Share Posted 12 June, 2013 Degrees do not equal intelligence but then if you have a degree (assuming it is a proper one) it is clear that you will have a certain level of intelligence to be able to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Saint Posted 12 June, 2013 Share Posted 12 June, 2013 Degrees do not equal intelligence but then if you have a degree (assuming it is a proper one) it is clear that you will have a certain level of intelligence to be able to pass. Aye, agreed. The ultimate benchmark of intelligence, of course, is being able to recite poetry off-the-cuff in press conferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OfnPanad Posted 17 June, 2013 Share Posted 17 June, 2013 Jos is extremely articulate especially considering he's speaking his second language. Also a top bloke. Fraser has been released now which has raised the average IQ of the team about 10 points I reckon. Luke Shaw is an amazing prospect as a footballer... Luckily... His interviews remind me of the Brendan Fraser basketball player character in 'Bedazzled'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I follow a few on Twitter and most seem your stereotypical footballer who doesn't have much to say about anything other than Nandos or Fifa13. I suppose I could always ask Luke Shaw when he does his Twitter Q and A. if you want to ask the question from an academic standpoint - Does any of them have GCSE's? ...(I dare not suggest a University Degree)....or do you mean " football savvy" .. Do they always know which way we are kicking? NEXT - define "sophisticated" please? Do you mean ..tattoos and earrings?...or someone who knows how to knot his tie correctly ...and doesn't turn up to the Saints party in trainers and with his shirt tail hanging out?
