Jai27 Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 He also follows Soccer AM and Chris Kamara so maybe he's hoping to get a job at Sky? Can't do a worse job than Kamara...
VectisSaint Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 The Roman poet was also pretty cool. The Aeneid is epic.
derry Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 He looked a lot more disciplined last night, however Celtic set up pretty carefully to protect their lead.
ErwinK1961 Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 He also follows Bill Styles who is apparently a 1st team sports scientist at Saints. Looks like he used to be at Celtic
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 He looked a lot more disciplined last night, however Celtic set up pretty carefully to protect their lead. He's a good player. Quite aggressive in the tackle, physically imposing - wants to compete. A little slow getting out and creating a high line at times. More Lovren than Alderweireld from what I have seen of him.
Convict Colony Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 Fairplay Ted Bates, you were doing a good MLG on the Talkceltic forum over Virgil, quite reasoned tho I thought and only a couple of celtic fans got emotional the majority seem to like us.
sambosa75 Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 This guy could add a bit of bite to our defence.... Not sure what Ted DiBiase and Irwin R Schyster would make of it. I suppose everybody's got a price...

Convict Colony Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 You mean that isn't MLG? :lol:I'm 90% sure it's him. Oh is it ? hahahah they did say it was the 3rd season in a row he'd been over there during the summer, they seem to know him well so it probably is MLG, good skills if it is mate.
Saint Charlie Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 So, are we going to have to wait for them to know 100% either way about the CL because that will be virtually the end of August? Can we handle PL and Europa Playoff til then with just 3 CBs? Probably yes if nobody gets injured or suspended but it doesnt give Ronald many options.

It's what we did last season with Forster wasn't it? Had to wait until they were out of the CL.

Can we handle PL and Europa Playoff til then with just 3 CBs? Probably yes if nobody gets injured or suspended but it doesnt give Ronald many options. We only had one proper striker all of last season so getting to the end of August with three centre-halves feels like a luxury. No point making a panic signing now when we can wait a few weeks to try and get a better target.
Saint Charlie Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 It's what we did last season with Forster wasn't it? Had to wait until they were out of the CL. Yes, but the PL started later so he played the first game. Wasn't as much of an issue to get it done earlier.

Yeah, I mean it's pretty blatantly him right? [ATTACH=CONFIG]1782[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]1783[/ATTACH] Celtic fans love him Edit: Sorry about small files (I don't know how to insert them as not thumbnails) it's Ted Bates showing off our "brand new" 60k seater stadium and explaining the expansion plans... Sound familiar? Edited 7 August, 2015 by farawaysaint
DT Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Didn't see much of the game last night but saw enough to think that Caulker is a bit off the pace. Got skinned at least once and was way out of position for a big chance for them on goal. Really hope this goes through as we definitely, obviously need a solid defence
Ken Tone Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 So is it that celtic want to keep their best players to make sure they qualify for the champions league proper, but once they're in the league bit don't care anymore because they know full well they have no chance of winning it ... So can let players go? Bit of a cynical way to treat their fans if so. (almost as bad as West Ham last night)

Wade Garrett Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 So, are we going to have to wait for them to know 100% either way about the CL because that will be virtually the end of August? Can we handle PL and Europa Playoff til then with just 3 CBs? Probably yes if nobody gets injured or suspended but it doesnt give Ronald many options. Bit of a risk. They might decide to keep him, he might have a change of heart and want to stay or another club might come in for him. Then we could be panic buying in the last week of the window. That said, I reckon the club know what they're doing.
mrfahaji Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Not sure what Ted DiBiase and Irwin R Schyster would make of it. I suppose everybody's got a price... Well seeing as you've brought them up, surely a song of "Mane, mane, mane, mane, maaaneeeeeee" would work pretty well?
Batman Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Celtic play Malmo in the next CL round ffs is it on live anywhere?

(almost as bad as West Ham last night) Or that once they're in the league they know they'll get some more money and can budget for a replacement?
Saint-Armstrong Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Wouldn't be hugely surprised if Malmo stick them out. Either way, after this round I reckon Virgil will be on the move.
Saint Charlie Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Wouldn't be hugely surprised if Malmo stick them out. Either way, after this round I reckon Virgil will be on the move. When does the round end? If its the same as ours then its 27th Aug, which as has been said, would be risky to wait unless we know 100% that we couldnt get gazumped and that Celtic would definitely sell him.

Saint Charlie Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Their CL status will be known by Aug 26th. Pretty late.

Pilchards Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 I must admit we are pretty slow at bringing in players, Certainly need another midfielder and it has to be the right price for the club blah blah....!!! So many of the middle range clubs are buying some cracking players these days and I often think why did we not go for them. Toons, Palace, Stoke and Sunderland to name a few.
Saint Charlie Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 @MurrayGroves: #SaintsFC interested in #BHAFC midfielder Dale Stephens too after doubts emerge over Jordy Clasie fitness.

So many of the middle range clubs are buying some cracking players these days and I often think why did we not go for them. Toons, Palace, Stoke and Sunderland to name a few. How many of them would actually get in our team though? Cabaye and Wijnaldum aside, I can't think of any and we can't sign every available player. Club knows what to do.
Nolan Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 (edited) @MurrayGroves: #SaintsFC interested in #BHAFC Dale Stephens too after doubts emerge over Jordy Clasie fitness. I don't think he's mentioned any other club but Saints in his made up Tweets in the last year... So believeable. Edited 7 August, 2015 by Nolan
CB Fry Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Their CL status will be known by Aug 26th. Pretty late. The last day of the season is May 16th 2016.
mcbendy Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 @MurrayGroves: #SaintsFC interested in #BHAFC midfielder Dale Stephens too after doubts emerge over Jordy Clasie fitness. Wikipedia says he played 6 games for us on loan in 2011... Can anyone remember him?
Saint Charlie Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 The last day of the season is May 16th 2016. But players can only be signed until 1st Sept. So to waittil 26th Aug we need to be sure the deal can be done. Which seeing as we havent signed another CB or been particularly heavily linked with others, we must be.
The Cat Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Wikipedia says he played 6 games for us on loan in 2011... Can anyone remember him? Yes. Tidy midfielder. We had him on loan from Oldham. He went to Charlton after.
S-Clarke Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Wikipedia says he played 6 games for us on loan in 2011... Can anyone remember him? Yeah, he was here at the back end of our L1 promotion season. We got him from Oldham, not a bad player, but never really stood out. He's not developed to any sort of level to be in a PL team though.
St Chalet Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 We turned down Cabaye, let's hope the black box got that one right.
Barry the Badger Posted 8 August, 2015 Posted 8 August, 2015 Wikipedia says he played 6 games for us on loan in 2011... Can anyone remember him? YES. WHERE THE **** WERE YOU?
Shance Posted 8 August, 2015 Posted 8 August, 2015 We turned down Cabaye, let's hope the black box got that one right. Were we actually in for him?
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 8 August, 2015 Posted 8 August, 2015 We turned down Cabaye, let's hope the black box got that one right. Has been awful for PSG since he moved there, very high wages and no sell on value. Would have been a risk.
SO16_Saint Posted 8 August, 2015 Posted 8 August, 2015 MurrayGroves: Southampton stepping up their pursuit of Celtic defender Virgil Van Dijk as a replacement for Alderweireld. Next week is the week #saintsfc Like this week was the week?
St Chalet Posted 8 August, 2015 Posted 8 August, 2015 Were we actually in for him? No, but I understand he held off Palace for a while to see if we were.
Pancake Posted 8 August, 2015 Posted 8 August, 2015 Just a whisper but been mentioned to me that we have asked about Jedinak. Source: mate in the press. Edit. ****, wrong thread sorry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Saint Garrett Posted 8 August, 2015 Posted 8 August, 2015 Just a whisper but been mentioned to me that we have asked about Jedinak. Source: mate in the press. Edit. ****, wrong thread sorry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hmm seems like an odd one, he's ok, not great.
Beckenham Saint Posted 8 August, 2015 Posted 8 August, 2015 Hmm seems like an odd one, he's ok, not great. http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2014/10/29/jedinak-rated-europes-best-midfield-player
kermitsaint Posted 8 August, 2015 Posted 8 August, 2015 Dear god no ! Jedinak is awful . Even worse that he plays for Australia. Living here is bad enough but if we signed him it would be much worse . Not the sort of player we want .
Window Cleaner Posted 8 August, 2015 Posted 8 August, 2015 Hmm seems like an odd one, he's ok, not great. But every season he's among the highest rated statistically DMs in the Premier, probably because he scores goals from penalties or something.
GarrettIvo Posted 8 August, 2015 Posted 8 August, 2015 http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2014/10/29/jedinak-rated-europes-best-midfield-player Yeah that's crap though. I have to say I'd be pretty happy to have the captain of my national team at Saints. But he's not really a Morgan type replacement. Having him and Vic seems unnecessary.
sadoldgit Posted 8 August, 2015 Posted 8 August, 2015 Like this week was the week? That was the week that was
