Pastor Patrón Posted 24 April, 2015 Posted 24 April, 2015 Jordan Rhodes - 6 foot 1 Charlie Austin - 6 foot 2 Graziano Pelle - 6 foot 4 Also Rickie Lambert - 6 foot 2
Batman Posted 24 April, 2015 Posted 24 April, 2015 They are poachers who need a striker to play with them, especailly Charlie Austin how on earth is Austin a 'poacher'?
Whitey Grandad Posted 24 April, 2015 Posted 24 April, 2015 how on earth is Austin a 'poacher'? Let's just say that strikers work better in pairs.
Pastor Patrón Posted 24 April, 2015 Posted 24 April, 2015 how on earth is Austin a 'poacher'? Because he scores the majority of his goals from inside the box, therefore he's a poacher. Unlike Pelle who as we know only scores 40 yard screamers
Deano6 Posted 24 April, 2015 Posted 24 April, 2015 Have we scored any goals from outside the box this season? I mean other than that Wanyama one v Hull from inside his own penalty box or whatever.
SaintTex Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 Have we scored any goals from outside the box this season? I mean other than that Wanyama one v Hull from inside his own penalty box or whatever.Well League Cup.. two come to mind. Pelle vs. Stoke Clyne vs. Arsenal PL.. one comes to mind Mane vs. Arsenal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0G9p8vGk2E
SaintTex Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 oh... another.. Tadic goal against Sunderland at 1:40 [video=youtube;yZpmNG-nJqs]
Deano6 Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 I guess Tadic did one v Sunderland when Mannone was caught in no man's land too. So we haven't scored any goals in the Prem this season from outside the box when the keeper hasn't been massively out of position (Arsenal / Sunderland / Hull)? Is that normal for us?

The Cat Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 I don't remember many from last season. A couple of Lambert free kicks, Rodriguez's amusing effort at Palace, Clyne in the cup against Burnley, Ramirez at Goodison. There were probably a few more but by no means loads.

We need to sign Charlie Adam, that'll sort this issue out.
Whitey Grandad Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 We need to sign Charlie Adam, that'll sort this issue out. At least he wouldn't score against us any more.
The Cat Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 We need to sign Charlie Adam, that'll sort this issue out. His goal against Chelsea was from further out than all our goals this season added together.
Verbal Kint Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 We need to sign Charlie Adam, that'll sort this issue out. He's a crap player, but for a mid table side like Stoke his 7 or 8 goals a season are pretty valuable
Saint IQ Posted 4 May, 2015 Posted 4 May, 2015 Jordan Rhodes - 6 foot 1 Charlie Austin - 6 foot 2 Graziano Pelle - 6 foot 4 Yeah and Henry is 6 ' 2, Guess he was a target man as well.

Turkish Posted 5 May, 2015 Posted 5 May, 2015 He's a crap player, but for a mid table side like Stoke his 7 or 8 goals a season are pretty valuable He actually isn't a crap player, he needs to be at the right club.

david in sweden Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 He actually isn't a crap player, he needs to be at the right club. .....which ironically .... is the life story of many players......it's the asute manager who can sign them.. and then make it work. (good example is Alan Pardew).
scotty Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 He's a crap player, but for a mid table side like Stoke his 7 or 8 goals a season are pretty valuable He's anything but a crap player. Not a world beater by any means, but a solid, reliable pro who always seems to produce what's needed when its needed.
Patrick Bateman Posted 8 June, 2015 Posted 8 June, 2015 I told you all in Jan that he was joining Saints in the summer. Nothing has changed. He will be joining Saints. Done deal.
Turkish Posted 8 June, 2015 Posted 8 June, 2015 He's a crap player, but for a mid table side like Stoke his 7 or 8 goals a season are pretty valuable How many midfielders have we got who score 7 or 8 goals a season?
Verbal Kint Posted 8 June, 2015 Posted 8 June, 2015 How many midfielders have we got who score 7 or 8 goals a season? None and I've regularly bemoaned that fact. As i said, his goals are very valuable for a midfielder and he can certainly strike a ball cleanly from distance. That's all he can do IMO, but it's a pretty great attribute to have
hypochondriac Posted 8 June, 2015 Posted 8 June, 2015 I know who Tom is and when I knew him many years ago he wasn't ever itk so I would take it with a pinch of salt. Told you.
Redslo Posted 8 June, 2015 Posted 8 June, 2015 So you were itk, that he wasn't itk. That sounds like useful information to me.
Tom28 Posted 8 June, 2015 Posted 8 June, 2015 Thought I'd better face up to it and post on here today. Stand by what i said (was told); so I guess he just changed his mind. Not the first or last time a human will do that... But hypo can have his or her day. :-)
simo Posted 8 June, 2015 Author Posted 8 June, 2015 Do we now say we would prefer Austin anyway? As much as I hate to say it for a development fee only Liverpool can't really go wrong!
david in sweden Posted 8 June, 2015 Posted 8 June, 2015 signing for Liverpool eh ?....well that's the end of that "Saints " rumour. One down 99 to go ............
grezz Posted 8 June, 2015 Posted 8 June, 2015 Do we now say we would prefer Austin anyway? As much as I hate to say it for a development fee only Liverpool can't really go wrong! Ings is, was and always will be twice the player Austin is. Ings in the Saints team would have been a very good thing. He is an intelligent, technically gifted team player. Austin in the same team......he'll always score goals but our build up play will break down with him just as often. He'd get his share of headlines, more so than Ings probably, but he's half the player.

It's ******** to suggest that Austin has no build up play, in the same way that it was when people said it about Lambert. Just ill-informed comments.
grezz Posted 8 June, 2015 Posted 8 June, 2015 I never said that he had bad build up play. Take a breath before you get your demon fingers out. I wouldn't be disappointed with Austin. Sometimes there is a chance to get a player who represents real progress and, for me, Ings was one of those chances (as Song also is). I'm just disappointed we have missed out on such a player who, as it happens, is also a Saints fan. Austin isn't bad. He just isn't Ings. Ings doesn't give the ball away lightly. Austin......he's pretty average as a build up player but not necessarily bad.

I've seen many instances this year where he has shown decent build up play.

It is your right to disagree. I think Ings is on another level both in terms of retention and vision but I don't want to keep banging on about Ings so it looks like I'm his long lost lover. I would be, as I said, not disappointed with Austin. He's not a bad player. He has many plus points. I just don't see that he represents real progress for us but I will cheer very loudly when he shoves that down my throat next season.
Wrensup Posted 8 June, 2015 Posted 8 June, 2015 When did he say this? Looking for a source but can't find one.

I mean you're going in hard with the man love there. What do you mean by progress though? Don't know what you're getting at there really.
Reynoldson!! Posted 8 June, 2015 Posted 8 June, 2015 When did he say this? Looking for a source but can't find one. it's obviously a play on the Brenda quote
