Saint_Jonny Posted 26 January, 2015 Share Posted 26 January, 2015 Lovely stadium. Huge fan base. Just goes to show, only money counts in football these days. Saints are small time in so many ways compared to teams like Ajax, but in the ways that count these days (Money...) we are so much better off. Kinda' wrong, really.

Saint_Ash Posted 26 January, 2015 Share Posted 26 January, 2015 Blimey, a bit over the top. Like in the comments someone saying we'll do the same for Lovren and Lallana! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakkoUK Posted 26 January, 2015 Share Posted 26 January, 2015 Why is he saying bye ? I thought he played for athletico ? That's what I was thinking, pretty certain his an Athletico player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JxgrSaint Posted 26 January, 2015 Share Posted 26 January, 2015 That's what I was thinking, pretty certain his an Athletico player. Only went to Atletico last season (from Ajax) and missed his official goodbye then. Presumably decided to double up with Blind's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-Armstrong Posted 26 January, 2015 Author Share Posted 26 January, 2015 Toby left Ajax for Atletico and hadn't had a chance to go back, seemingly. Dutch clubs like a good send-off, so they invited him back because he had a great record with them. Obviously with him now being sidelined, he could go there and it was fine with both TA and SFC.

Saint_clark Posted 26 January, 2015 Share Posted 26 January, 2015 Played for them 128 times, be a bit like us doing it for Steven Davis. OTT if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-Armstrong Posted 26 January, 2015 Author Share Posted 26 January, 2015 (edited) Played for them 128 times, be a bit like us doing it for Steven Davis. OTT if you ask me. Well, from what they posted on their Twitter account, explaining why they were thanking him - they said he played 186 times. They've listed the following honours too... 3 league titles 1 Dutch cup 1 Johan Cruyff Cup - (community shield) Edited 26 January, 2015 by Saint-Armstrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 26 January, 2015 Share Posted 26 January, 2015 Why is he saying bye ? I thought he played for Athletico? I think one of the reasons he came to SMS was that he wasn't playing for Athletico .....(or not often enough anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redslo Posted 26 January, 2015 Share Posted 26 January, 2015 I think one of the reasons he came to SMS was that he wasn't playing for Athletico .....(or not often enough anyway). It sounded to me like he was persuaded that he would like playing for Ronald Koeman too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 26 January, 2015 Share Posted 26 January, 2015 Played for them 128 times, be a bit like us doing it for Steven Davis. OTT if you ask me. He also came through their youth system didn't he? Would be a bit like us doing it for Shaw if he'd played a couple more seasons and won a few trophies.

bilbot79 Posted 26 January, 2015 Share Posted 26 January, 2015 Played for them 128 times, be a bit like us doing it for Steven Davis. OTT if you ask me. I would say he deserved it too. Great player.

Coxford_lou Posted 26 January, 2015 Share Posted 26 January, 2015 Not strictly Saints-related, this past weekend Toby went back to Amsterdam for his 'official farewell' from Ajax. Classy stuff, nicely done. Can't imagine us doing this for any of our ex players - we'll still be sulking about them leaving several years on! Can you imagine if we gave Adam Lallana an official farewell?! It's really nice they do this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
