Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 Well that's just weird. We need an experienced centre back a lot more than we need another striker. I seriously think we need both! Probably 2 CB's. Why don't we just send Hoofiveld back to Celtic as part of a deal to bring VvD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miserableoldgit Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 I may not be able to support him if he carries on wearing that cap. ...especially as he is wearing it back-to-front...Knob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeySFC Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 (edited) I may not be able to support him if he carries on wearing that cap. I concur, people wearing baseball caps will be the first to go when the revolution comes. So long as they wear them the right way round, with the shade bit at the front, I'm OK with them. It takes a particular type of moron to wear it at the back and think that they look cool. You all sound like you're all at least 60.

saintsmike25 Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 I think it's a Les Reed signing without a doubt. Glad it's free and adds competition for places in midfield, next up a centre back (or two) possibly a right back, not too bothered about GK, Boruc is more than capable, and a striker would be nice.

VectisSaint Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 Firstly he's wearing a Basketball Cap (Brooklyn Nets) and secondly you all sound like you're all at least 60. Well, I'm only 59 and still makes him look like a bit of a knob. But then his haircut needs to be covered up by something I suppose. A netball cap does the trick as well as a rounders one from that pov. I guess its what 5 year olds do though, good thing about him only being 5 is that we will not have to wish him a happy birthday or send him a cake during his loan, as he won't be 6 until 2016.

ratio_decidendi Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 I get the feeling we'll make four more signings: Rojo - Les Reed making waves in Portugal, this signing would show ambition from the club. Forster - Being reported everywhere and not convinced that Celtic will make it through. Ings - To get the #7 shirt, good solid signing with bags of potential Schelotto - will provide competition on the wings and backup to Clyne at right back This is just my gut feeling and I also what I realistically hope happens.

doddisalegend Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 Seems like a decent deal to me get rid of Osvaldo and get in another player to bolster our paper thin squad. Would really have liked to see a CB instead of another midfielder but as I'm I expecting Morgan to be off in January anyway this could just be good forward planning.

smarmy Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 "He can play as a controlled midfielder, but he can also move up around the box and up front". So can play DM or AM/wing? Anyway, looks skilful and combative from clips. Also, we really can't count Osvaldo as a player out. He was out already and we did well without him.

Viking Warrior Posted 7 August, 2014 Share Posted 7 August, 2014 (edited) Duncan Thank you for your interesting profile of me ,that's your opinion , sometimes I can be a little bit irrational , sometimes grammatically incorrect but some of that is to do with the iPad certainly the spelling aspects . I will try to improve my grammar but cannot guarantee it will always be perfect, I did mention a while ago in the excellent all the saints book has some grammatical errors , I'm not bothered about them and would not have noticed them , it was only a musician who was staying with me for the St Magnus festival , he was reading this book and the suited and booted book , he just happened to be a depute head teacher from Glasgow and asked me whether two players were twin brothers as they were born on the same day and same place . I replied I didn't think we ever had twins playing for us , clearly it was a typo I don't have a go at all bed wetters per sae , But what does get to me is the 24/7 negativity , my impression is that some are doing it deliberately, as they seem get some perverse sense of satisfaction by preaching negativity . We will not all agree about the signing of new players but let's give them a chance at the club My question and it was just that a question as to why sky should think osvaldo was joining the mass exodus along with shaw , lovren llallana , chambers His move is for totally different reasons , his position became untenable at the club and therefore the club had no option but to get rid . I don't think the sky exec sit about discussing ways to stir it . Please re Read my original post comments , all I would like to see is balanced reporting , especially about DO , he was a thug , it was not just not one violent outburst , but two , during his brief time with us . Yes I was equally annoyed and angry about some of the players leaving , but they have gone and you just brush yourself down and get on supporting the next chapter of saints I respect your views Duncan , but I will not change mine,I'm too long in the tooth and I know where my loyalty and heart lies when it comes to supporting the saint and the club Yes I am worried about the forth coming season I'm equally excited . Like every other football fan up and down the country we will belive this our season to win a trophy do well and relegation us the last thing most of us worry about .
