Bad Wolf Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Not quite Saints related admittedly and not sure of the details but Bournemouth supporting mate just texted me to say they've got Andrew Surman. Good luck to him. Always seemed to give it his all when he was here.
OldNick Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Good luck to him. His lack of pace was always going to stop him being a top player, especially in his midfield role
shurlock Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Think he would have still been a squad member if he had stayed - dont think we would have ditched him as early as Hammond, Sharp, Chaplow et al.
davefizzy14 Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Good luck Drew, was quality when he was with us
Raging Bull Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Met him a couple of times in the Orange rooms when Pearson was in charge, really nice bloke.
Rebel Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 That's a shame - he's better than Bournemouth If they are not careful Bournemouth are going to have more Saints fans playing for them than Southampton
DanW Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 I re-signed him to Saints in FM2010 when I got us back up in the Prem and he was a solid squad player for our relegation battles. Always liked him.
SaintRobbie Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Shame he left when he did. I think he'd be a squad player for Saints still. So much potential and legged it too early IMHO.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 (edited) He runs like he has shat himself The standard of comments is improving I see - he's a good local lad, with a solid family behind him who are Saints fans. Doubt they would relish a stupid comment like yours. He was sold against his wishes to bale us out when we were staring administration in the face. He is a footballer with intelligence and I think Bournemouth have got a nugget here. Hughton is not a purist hence this move. Edited 31 July, 2013 by Fitzhugh Fella

Turkish Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 I remember some div in the Itchen when Surman was injured and sitting there with his bird and his dad shouting 'oi Surman, that's the best game you've had all season' in his broadest farmers voice then looking round laughing presumably to see who else was laughing with him, about five people told the fat t*at to shut his gob. Local lad, good player and nice fella, not really why someone would feel the need to abuse him.
ART Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Unless he sharpens up I can see Lallana joining his former Academy mate and playing for the Cherries., How things have changed
aintforever Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Bought a house in Hungerford Bottom, opposite my sister, and has had it renovated I believe. Opposite my sisters. Hungerford Bottom as in the fox n hounds?

NickG Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Unless he sharpens up I can see Lallana joining his former Academy mate and playing for the Cherries., How things have changed Within 12 months of being called into England squad?
Leicestersaint Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 A very good player in his day - I saw him playing for Norwich and he was the best on the pitch. My recollection is that he didn't really want to leave but Saints needed the money - goodness we were badly run in those days. He is a true Saints fan and a local lad from Bitterne as I remember. I wish him all the best.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Within 12 months of being called into England squad? Francis Jeffers got a call up and played for England. Few months later he was playing for Accrington Stanley!!! #justsayin
View From The Top Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Hungerford Bottom as in the fox n hounds? Yes.

twopintsnilnil Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Bobby Moore died a few months after lifting the World Cup FFS. Did he really. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
mcjwills Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Bobby Moore died a few months after lifting the World Cup FFS. yeah about 320 months, he lifted the world cup in 66 and died in 93.
latter day saint Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 I wish I could do the facepalm smiley. here,let me help good luck to him, hopefully he's a bit luckier with injuries in the future. nice fella who's always happy to chat when i've seen him
stknowle Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Bobby Moore died a few months after lifting the World Cup FFS. What are you on about Fry? No no no Fry this is incorrect.
View From The Top Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 A good player but lacked that yard of pace I felt.
Colinjb Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Good luck to Drew. His career really stalled at Wolves/Norwich. Hope he has a platform to build from at Dean Court.
hugh Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 I can't believe nobody picked up on this gem in the story on Bournemouth's web site http://www.afcb.co.uk/news/article/2013-07-31-surman-joins-on-loan-958373.aspx Having started his career at south coast rivals Southampton They wish.
Ulrich van Gobbel Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Great signing for Bournemouth and good luck to Drew. As others have said: a good local lad, always gave his all for us and above all...a Saints fan. I can still vividly remember his goal in the first leg of the playoff against Derby. Cracking left foot!
Cascadia Saint Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Unless he sharpens up I can see Lallana joining his former Academy mate and playing for the Cherries., How things have changed You're a loon.
SuperMikey Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 I can't believe nobody picked up on this gem in the story on Bournemouth's web site http://www.afcb.co.uk/news/article/2013-07-31-surman-joins-on-loan-958373.aspx They wish. Bet there's a few Bompey lads getting their knickers in a twist over signing a "faaarckin Scummarrr". Good luck to Drew, always gave his all for us and was our best player by far in that relegation season. If he'd been more talented he would be definite captain material for us now.
Cascadia Saint Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 You've only just noticed? Haha, no. Just couldn't be bothered to point it out on the other umpteen occasions... He's a loon.
S-Clarke Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Good move for the lad. Way too good for Bournemouth to be honest.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Good move for the lad. Way too good for Bournemouth to be honest. No he's not. He's a championship player and they're a championship club.
doddisalegend Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 A very good player in his day - I saw him playing for Norwich and he was the best on the pitch. My recollection is that he didn't really want to leave but Saints needed the money - goodness we were badly run in those days. He is a true Saints fan and a local lad from Bitterne as I remember. I wish him all the best. In his day? he's only 26 not quite past yet. Pretty sure he could do better than Bournemouth.
teamsaint Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 he will be th best player down there by a country mile. Bompey have done exceptionally well to get such a good player, in his prime.
Gemmel Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Unless he sharpens up I can see Lallana joining his former Academy mate and playing for the Cherries., How things have changed What a prize ***t you are
Saint Bones Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Top Lad - Came and said Hello when he was in Perth touring Australia with Wolves . Called out wearing my Saints top and he trotted over for a couple of photos and a chat... I thought he always gave his all for us and like previously mentioned would be interting to see how long his Saints career would have gone had we been more finanically stable . Best of Luck Drew
david in sweden Posted 1 August, 2013 Posted 1 August, 2013 No he's not. He's a championship player and they're a championship club. fairly good assessment, I think. Good luck Drew.
Fan The Flames Posted 1 August, 2013 Posted 1 August, 2013 Francis Jeffers got a call up and played for England. Few months later he was playing for Accrington Stanley!!! #justsayin Try ten years later #wrongagain
St Chalet Posted 1 August, 2013 Posted 1 August, 2013 A good move for both parties. Drew will get games and Bompey have themselves a very competent midfielder who will be one of the top players in that division.
lloydie Posted 1 August, 2013 Posted 1 August, 2013 Francis Jeffers got a call up and played for England. Few months later he was playing for Accrington Stanley!!! #justsayin Months? #watchmustbeslow
Toomer Posted 1 August, 2013 Posted 1 August, 2013 Shame he left when he did. I think he'd be a squad player for Saints still. So much potential and legged it too early IMHO. The fact of the matter is that he did not want to go when he was sold but agreed to go to raise cash to try and help keep the club afloat, that was told to me by the lad himself.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 1 August, 2013 Posted 1 August, 2013 Try ten years later #wrongagain 12 months, 120 months..........
rooney Posted 1 August, 2013 Posted 1 August, 2013 He was one of our best players whilst with us. Did not want to go and we had to sell him because of financial restraints. A good signing by Bournemouth and good luck to him.
JN9 Posted 1 August, 2013 Posted 1 August, 2013 The fact of the matter is that he did not want to go when he was sold but agreed to go to raise cash to try and help keep the club afloat, that was told to me by the lad himself. I've heard (from a source close to Drew) that he also gave his signing on fee to Saints as well when he left... Top bloke
