Recommended Posts

Lovren - Superb

Osvaldo - Poor as it stands in fact crap

Wanyama - Fair to middling

Ramirez - Utter **** and the worst money signing we have ever done, an absolute load of ****

Rodriguez - Getting there

Mayuka - Another **** signing

Yoshida - Average if he is going to be a squad player, poor if intended to be first team

Davis - Very good for the price and his performances

Clyne - Learning his trade but very good indeed

Gazzaniga - Does not inspire

Forren - This is up there with Ali Dia or Ramirez.

The problem with signing overseas players like Ramirez and Osvaldo is that they will take a lot of matches to adapt to the English style which is quicker and more physical than they have been used to. Add to that they are expected to track back and defend under our system which is equally alien.

 

Ramirez is working well in training by all accounts. Osvaldo is being carried by the rest of the team when it comes to defending and he needs to adapt his game. He will learn a lot from Lambert in that respect.

 

Do not write these guys off yet.

 

Lovren is a quality player who has adapted well. Wanyama is of equal quality. It is no coincidence that our defence has improved with these two players.

 

The remainder were purchased in the Adkins era so I am not going to comment on those.

Blimey, another negative Ramirez/Osvaldo thread, and look at the main perpetrators, there is a surprise!

 

As people have said on these threads before, Ramirez hasn't been that bad. I really hope that if MoPo doesn't want to use him then we will offload. The problem is he doesn't fit in with his style of play.

 

How people are judging Osvaldo this early is mental. Give the lad a chance.

Lovren - Superb. AGREE

Osvaldo - Poor as it stands in fact crap. NOT SO sure as it does take time to adjust and this is probably the hardest position to adjust your game. Convinced he will be OK.

Wanyama - Fair to middling. THAT's a little harsh. He is a lump that the opposition finds hard to get past. Certainly in recent games he is becoming more mobile and his game is improving.

Ramirez - Utter **** and the worst money signing we have ever done, an absolute load of **** WELL, he certainly is a disappointent so far given the talent that he has. I always found him too light weight. Bit like Bercovic.

Rodriguez - Getting there. HE SEEMS to be but still lacks the ability to really punish teams. Hopefully that will come. Never focused on him pre-Saints.

Mayuka - Another **** signing. NOT great and not setting the world on fire in France.

Yoshida - Average if he is going to be a squad player, poor if intended to be first team. I THOUGHT that he did quite well last season once he bedded in. Sure he makes the odd mistake but I think he's better than just average.

Davis - Very good for the price and his performances. INTERESTING that MP plays him a lot more than NA did. Does his job without setting the world on fire. Doesn't make too many mistakes.

Clyne - Learning his trade but very good indeed. AGREE and surely will get better.

Gazzaniga - Does not inspire. HE WAS young and inexperienced when NA threw him in and started chopping and changing. He actually had the best record of the three last season (I think!)

Forren - This is up there with Ali Dia or Ramirez. NOW I see this differently to others. To me he was an insurance policy, one that wasn't needed. However much it has ended up costing us, it is less than relegation.

Ramirez - D-

Rodriguez - A-

Mayuka - D-

Yoshida - B

Davis - B+

Clyne - A

Gazzaniga - C+

Forren - who ?

Boruc - A+

 

Pretty much this. Yoshida has been particularly unlucky this season. He made a big difference when he came in last year, and has only been kept out by the excellent form of Lovren & Fonte.

Interesting comment from Fonte recently that both Yoshida and Hooiveld have shown similar levels of improvement to him in training since Lovren signed.

Yoshida is also behind Hooiveld by the look of things.

The OP is quite a dull sort. If he was a Spurs fan no doubt he would have been writing Bale off after a short while seeing as they never won when he played. Ronaldo took a few seasons to be the real deal at United. Drogba took a season at Chelsea. But oh no, as we are Southampton our signings don't have to adjust or adapt. I'm just glad we can attract Italy's number 9 and Uruguays playmaker to St Marys. Stop yer whining!

Simple Barry Sanchez recent thread summary:

 

Simple signings summary last two seasons - hasn't had a dig at our players in a while so drags up dead horse topic. Looking for a fight. Yawn.

The modern phenomenon Americanism - another whinge. Desperately trying to appear controversial. Pretty much everyone thinks this way. Moot point.

That goal celebration yesterday - hooray! A positive thread! 7/10. I had to knock points off for a lack of full stops in your opening post. Poor.

Roy Hodgson - Only one reply. Not really sure what point you were trying to make. A low point.

Danny Fox in team selection joy! - another moot point. We all know Fox isn't up to it. No need for a thread about it. Locked by mods. Control yourself!

Is football now sterile one sided and boring? - a decent topic, if a little negative again. Don't jump, Barry!

Vague predictions can bite you on the arse. - more negativity, this time met with some vitriol from other posters. Stop trying to be controversial! Locked again.

GTA V to pre order or not? - think for yourself, Barry!

ps4 - a decent topic this time. Try to think of more specific thread titles.

Danny Fox is a witch - Confirmed - Don't know what this was. A desperate plea for attention. I expect you couldn't have a go at Ramirez for not winning a game on his own so you cooked up this half baked idea. Locked again.

 

I hope you enjoyed this trip into Barry Sanchez's psyche.

Should this thread not have 'Perpetrated by a dull-witted skate troll' warning just in case the players do log on here...and also serve to warn off intelligent potential readers?

 

I post this purely as a public service warning :mcinnes:

 

That you always find the need to post on, dont post here, your help is not required, go and post on the trousers and drainpipes thread, thats more up your street.

I am amazed you have taken the time to do that, that says an awful lot about you thoughts, I would say my thoughts on him have been correct and yours wrong?

I thank you.

Barry loves Norwich. He must realise he has got it wrong when his main backup is Alpine :lol::lol::lol:

Lovren - Superb

Osvaldo - Poor as it stands in fact crap

Wanyama - Fair to middling

Ramirez - Utter **** and the worst money signing we have ever done, an absolute load of ****

Rodriguez - Getting there

Mayuka - Another **** signing

Yoshida - Average if he is going to be a squad player, poor if intended to be first team

Davis - Very good for the price and his performances

Clyne - Learning his trade but very good indeed

Gazzaniga - Does not inspire

Forren - This is up there with Ali Dia or Ramirez.

 

Lovren - Best Saints Centre Half since Mark Wright and Michael Svensson. Never thought I'd being saying that.

Osvaldo - Will come good, has looked more effective at home, good strike v Palace and can't fault the workrate

Wanyama - Is going to be immense. Saturday's display was his best yet. If he was the complete article, Barca, Man U or Juve would have been signing him FFS

Ramirez - Slightly disappointing but I'm not sure he suits MP's system. Does apprear to be addressing his fitness and stamina levels however. To be fair, quality home displays last season v Arsenal, Villa and Everton.

Rodriguez - Now we are seeing the real J Rod. Sensational on Saturday and offers us pace and direct running. Will get better and better and great link up with Adam and Rickie

Mayuka - Players get loaned out - look at Andros Townsend - but needs a good season at Toulouse. Where's Window Cleaner when you need him to find out what's happening in Ligue 1?

Yoshida - Good back up, decent engine but positional sense needs work. Regular for Japan and for £2m good value.

Davis - Poor Rangers. Quality player and very consistent displays. Good communicator as well.

Clyne - Best signing on this list, how Palace must wish they still had him. Could be on the plane to the World Cup.

Gazzaniga - Give him time, Everton and a host of other PL clubs watched him extensively and he's highly rated within the scouting community. Was chucked in far too early last year which seemingly helped Nigel to his exit.

Forren - No idea.

Osvaldo hasn't been that bad. Poor last game he played but has actually looked quite lively in other games and unlucky not to have a few by now.

 

This. I listened to the Five Live coverage when we were at Anfield and the (no Saints bias) commentators were very impressed with him. "You can clearly see he is a top quality player, at times he is cut above the rest of this (good) Southampton team".

Is that the same way Ramirez was a cut above most of our team that weren't on his wavelength?

He made a big difference when he came in last year, and has only been kept out by the excellent form of Lovren & Fonte.

 

 

.......all that is true, but he was (previously) forced to play quite a few games at full back, whereas he was first and foremost bought as a central defender.

 

He'll be in the Japanese squad for the World Cup, but should certainly get an outing for Saints in our various Cup ties.

 

However, agree that no-one is likely to get a look-in for Prem.games with the Lovren / Fonte duo playing as well as they are at present.

No. That was their second point. Their first was that, by his touch and movement during the Anfield match, it was clear that he is an excellent player. I cant claim to have heard any other Radio 5 commentaries on Saints but I am not aware of anyone saying the same about Ramirez

You clearly know jack **** about football and even moreso how our current team are performing Wanyama is far from fair to middling,he's an absolute beast of a defensive midfielder.I'd go so far to say in terms of defensive ability he's outperforming Spider now.He is a major player in our new found success .

I swear you post plain and simply to garner attention .I guess it you think it makes you an edgy poster ,well sorry your just a moron.

Last season he said we should have copied QPR, in the summer it was Norwich.

 

He clearly is either a WUM or just knows nothing about football.

Not me! At least the other neg bore has crawled back under his rock! How anyone can find any issue with where we are now is beyond me? Long may we keep signing sh*t players if that means we do this well!!!

If you are referring to me, I gave generally positive feedback about every player except Mayuka and The Gash.
