Patrick Bateman Posted 12 April, 2015 Share Posted 12 April, 2015 Rehashed (as usual on the internet) and not allowed for various reasons, one of them being that we have two Goalies who have played in the Premier League already, in the squad.

Patrick Bateman Posted 12 April, 2015 Share Posted 12 April, 2015 "If it is granted, Cech is being lined up, although it’s unclear whether Jose Mourinho would be willing to let Cech go." Stupid internet blogger speak for "I've rehashed a story that is balls and I'm going to cover my backside, twice". FFS. And don't get me started on the f**king appalling grammar!

Delboy Dave Posted 12 April, 2015 Share Posted 12 April, 2015 On the verge of joining but not sure if Jose would sanction it. Sounds plausible ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Grandad Posted 12 April, 2015 Share Posted 12 April, 2015 If he joined in the summer I'd be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted 12 April, 2015 Share Posted 12 April, 2015 If it was possible under the rules, I could see this happening. We play citeh on the last day; would be typical mourinho to buy a bit of an edge just in case it did go to the wire (which I doubt it will, tbh.) If a loan from chelsea gave us just an extra half chance of turning over the mancs, I reckon he'd do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano6 Posted 13 April, 2015 Share Posted 13 April, 2015 What's the point? We're not going to finish 4th. We're not going to finish 8th. Kelvin's good enough as a stand-in. Just see the season out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 13 April, 2015 Share Posted 13 April, 2015 I'd even add on why aren't we giving Gazza more gametime experience rather than use Kd. Because the club knows/thinks that he'll never be good enough for the PL and they plan to move him on in the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorne Malvo Posted 13 April, 2015 Share Posted 13 April, 2015 Because the club knows/thinks that he'll never be good enough for the PL and they plan to move him on in the summer? Couple of decent performances would put him in the shop window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted 13 April, 2015 Share Posted 13 April, 2015 To be fair if it is true that Jose didn't want to loan/sell him to Arsenal as they were fellow title or top 4 challengers, I think saints are exactly the sort of team he'd loan him out to. He'd get gametime every week, we aren't challenging chelsea for the top 3 spots so no problem there, and also he's still in the premier league so mourinho can keep watch on him. I'm not saying it's definite, but more unlikely things have happened... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted 13 April, 2015 Share Posted 13 April, 2015 Couple of decent performances would put him in the shop window. Really? You really want to try that? I don't like attacking our players, but this guy needs experience elsewhere before we let him in the 1st team again. He's still relatively young and obviously they saw something in him, but he needs a couple of seasons in the Championship I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's few million quid in prize money from the difference between coming 5th and 7th, and potentially the difference between the Europa League Group stages and not qualifying for Europe taken care of. Bloody good job you're not in charge, we haven't got to where we are by just ignoring the possible increments of improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redslo Posted 13 April, 2015 Share Posted 13 April, 2015 Well, that's few million quid in prize money from the difference between coming 5th and 7th, and potentially the difference between the Europa League Group stages and not qualifying for Europe taken care of. Bloody good job you're not in charge, we haven't got to where we are by just ignoring the possible increments of improvement. This. Plus even a 3.3% chance of the champions league (what the computers say we have now) is nothing something you give up just to give a young goal keeper experience. This link is provided only to support the 3.3% chance figure (see 2:08 ).

Lorne Malvo Posted 13 April, 2015 Share Posted 13 April, 2015 Fair enough. kelvin did impress versus Burnley but hasn't really had too much else to do since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsteve7 Posted 13 April, 2015 Share Posted 13 April, 2015 Gazza in this side would be a very different prospect to his last run in the first team. I'd bet that we are still up there in the conceding the least shots on target this season so he'd have a lot less to do then last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody good job you're not in charge, we haven't got to where we are by just ignoring the possible increments of improvement. I'm not suggesting we play NO keeper! Kelvin is fine and has let one goal in in three, so don't know why you think we are suddenly going to plummet just by virtue of not bringing in Cech. Plus you are very keen on prize money but much more cavalier about spending wages we don't need to. You do realise it's all the same currency right?

rickylambert Posted 13 April, 2015 Share Posted 13 April, 2015 Ronald said in his programme notes: "Kelvin has a lot of experience which will be important in the remaining games." That says to me no one will be signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we're going to plummet - it's practically impossible for us to come below 7th now, but you just said you were happy to let the season play out, rather than trying to improve the keeper situation. No-one is saying that Cech wouldn't do that either. The money gained coming 2 places higher in the Prem would more than offset Cech's wages for the under 2 months he'd be our responsibility, hypothetical though it might be.

I'd bet that we are still up there in the conceding the least shots on target this season so he'd have a lot less to do then last time. But if he would still let pretty much every shot in, which he did in every match OTHER than away to Cardiff last time (and that got him an ironic verse of "he saves when he wants"), that still isn't a good place to be.

The rest of it, other than that Skate Hislop knowing exactly how much money Man City need to shift to meet FFP, which is profound by UK pundit standards, made me just want to punch the bloke who said "what?" all the time - and I'm not a violent person. I am now going to dig out the tried and trusted probability website, which will work it out for me based on a mostly decent model. In 4 weeks' time you lot will be sick of the sight of it.

You think it's worth making a bet on bringing him in, I don't. Personally I don't think we will finish above Liverpool with or without Cech. Now if we could bring in someone who could score some goals, I'd say get the chequebook out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
