Nordic Saint Posted 22 September, 2019 Share Posted 22 September, 2019 ... They are facing each other 4 times: Serbia v Portugal x 2 in the European Championship & Ajax v Lille x 2 in the Champions League. So far, it is 1-1, with one win for Fonte &Portugal and one for Tadic & Ajax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordic Saint Posted 22 September, 2019 Share Posted 22 September, 2019 Calum Chambers has just scored for Arsenal. A few on here wrote him off too soon. He was Fulham's Player of the Season last year. He's still only 24. We could certainly do with a player like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still only 24. We could certainly do with a player like him.Who was "writing off" Calum Chambers when he was playing all of those 22 appearances for SFC? He was only ever thought of as a great prospect and great competition for Clyne and his sale was the last straw for many at the time. God knows what sh it point you think you are making. At least him being 24 means you have probably an entire decade of making that sh it point over and over again, so knock yourself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 22 September, 2019 Share Posted 22 September, 2019 Chambers was good for us & left far too soon... With that said, not sure many of us would have kept him & NOT signed Toby & Mane for the money we got for Chambers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't to be and everyone moved on, and as you say we signed some decent defenders immediately after. Even if he goes on to get 75 England caps and three Ballon D'Or trophies I fail to see how that could be seen as proving Saints fans "wrong" or some retribution against imaginary fans "writing him off" while he was here. We didn't want him to go, but he did. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 23 September, 2019 Share Posted 23 September, 2019 (edited) Wenger tried to sign him in January before he did leave so they were obviously pretty keen on buying him . Before barely playing him and then loaning him out and then, while on loan, he has managed to be part of a defence to get relegated twice from the PL all at the tender age of 24. if saints had signed a player like that you'd never here the end of it on here.....

Heisenberg Posted 2 October, 2019 Share Posted 2 October, 2019 I have always been one of the more vocal doubters of Mopos "world class" title I felt with us he could have done better and Koeman quickly proved that. Then with Spurs he seemed to get a lot of credit for winning nothing I pointed to a squad worth nearly 1 billion and a club with a history of top 4 finishes. A lot of players are struggling under Mopo - WTF has happened to Ali for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was probably sold the idea he would be either first choice, or at least competing (alternating) with Taylor. I guess he has to wait for his chance, then take it.

Palace is close to his heart, he's been there since he was a kid and was a local lad. VVD had no ties to us besides paying his wages and putting himself in the Premier League shop window. Zaha is 27 next month, he probably feels it's now or never to try again at the top, but credit to Palace for keeping him and credit to him for knuckling down. I still think he'll be gone by the start of next season, but Palace will be a lot richer for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course no one expected him to stay for that long, but if he'd done a Morgan and given us one more year without downing tools then fair play. Same with that **** Lamina.

spyinthesky Posted 23 October, 2019 Share Posted 23 October, 2019 Talking to a mate of mine who is a Blackburn fan. He reckons Sam Gallagher has only scored once in the League in 600 days!! I have no beef with Sam and really thought he was worth a run in the team primarily on the basis of his wonder goal (ironically) against Blackburn a few years back in the Youth Cup. But to get £5m for him and a similar amount for Charlie Austin, who doesnt seem to be tearing up the Championship with his goal scoring exploits seems to have been reasonable business.
