Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 1 July, 2013 Share Posted 1 July, 2013 Just seen this on the Beeb site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23088215 Thought he was pretty pants in his 4 games for us at left back but good to see he is now carving out a career in the lower leagues as a winger. 8 goals in 12 games is fairly impressive stuff and now he's moved to Crewe, he'll get a chance to see if he can cut it at League 1 level.

Eric The Red Posted 1 July, 2013 Share Posted 1 July, 2013 I had the dubious pleasure of seeing his Saints debut at Barnsley. I thought his performance was of Ali Dia proportions and (iirc) he was incredibly lucky to stay on the pitch. Somehow we won the game but it was one of the last highspots in a season of abject failure which was typified by the acquisition of Mr Molyneux.

Saint_clark Posted 1 July, 2013 Share Posted 1 July, 2013 Was atrocious, but I seem to remember him having some pace and a half decent cross, so no wonder he's doing well in lower leagues as a winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Saint Posted 1 July, 2013 Share Posted 1 July, 2013 When I lived in Liverpool, I used to work with a guy who was/is very good friends with him. He told me about the transfer before Saints announced it, but couldn't quite believe it as he reckoned Molyneux was Sunday league level at best. Big reputation for going out on the lash and poor discipline. Seemingly happy to waste his career away in the reserves while picking up a handsome pay cheque.

From what I remember he was training with us for a few weeks before the signing was announced....so we'd already had a good look at him up close and still decided to sign him - how things have changed!

How many of Hoddle's school for the released have come back as high level performers? Saddest is the wasted talent.... Those you don't progress because of attitude to working hard.

saint1977 Posted 2 July, 2013 Share Posted 2 July, 2013 Having Exeter, Torquay and Plymouth in our region, I see more L2 football than most Saints fans and judging by his form for Stanley he has realised that it is last chance saloon. Many of those 8 goals were 30 yard worldy specials and should do well at Crewe. L1 is probably right for him as a winger, can't see him above L1 and he was never a left back in the first place. I'd be wary of judging any of our young players from 08/09 based on their time at Saints as the club was run by people who should never have been there and was in total freefall. Thank God for Markus and NC. Even though we started badly in L1, the teamsheet told you we'd turn it around. With the 08/09 team, JP and Wotte did pretty well to get over 30 points out of that team. Morgan, Lallana and Kelvin's form were the only good things that emerged from 08/09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Saint Posted 28 August, 2013 Share Posted 28 August, 2013 Lee Molyneux trolling Saints fans on twitter. ****. Lee Molyneux @Moly24 1h Think it will kick off if Bill doesn't have replacements lined up for Baines and Fellaini if the rumours are true. Shaw & McCarthy will do. Lee Molyneux @Moly24 1h @EammonRyan8 Still better than Southampton. You ask Shaw if he'd turn down Everton and his answer will be "No". Lee Molyneux @Moly24 1h @Appy0911 Southampton=small club. Everton=big club. He'll see what it's done for Rooney, Arteta, Lescott and maybe Baines. He'd love it. Lee Molyneux @Moly24 40m Few bites from the Southampton fans. Small club syndrome it must be. Spent a few quid this summer and still light years away from Everton. Lee Molyneux @Moly24 37m Imagine when Luke Shaw signs for Everton, Morgan goes back to France and Lallana wants a move to a top 10 club. Saints maybe the new Pompey.

Lighthouse Posted 28 August, 2013 Share Posted 28 August, 2013 Football fans call other clubs small all the time, without playing for anybody. True, although usually out of shear ignorance. There is nothing wrong with being a small club I don't get why it's used as an insult so much. I just thought a player employed by Crewe would have a bit more respect for 'small clubs' like Saints who only have 32,000 sell outs at most of their games (Yes I know Goodison is bigger). His point about Rooney, Arteta and Lescott doesn't make sense either. The latter 2 were both 23 already when they joined Everton so hardly youth development. If he's claiming them then we can claim Lambert, Beattie and Crouch all getting into the England team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bigger club because they won the league twice 30 years ago, perhaps. I'm not sure how that really translates for a modern day player though. I doubt playing in front of an extra 7 or 8 thousand will mean all that much to him and Everton wont be able to offer him Champions League football or extra cash.
