Neal Trotman or Darren Powell?

[Dusic]

If you had to sign one of them to replace Wesley Hoedt, who would it be?

 

[Bwanamakubwa]

Neither. For me it would be Richard Dryden

That wasn't the question.

That wasn't the question.

Look, I know the current board would struggle to attract a calibre of player like Dryden, but I don't see why we should be limiting our ambition to Powell and Trotman

Ross Wilson has watched Dryden a number of times and hasn't been impressed and his judgement of a centre half is exemplary.

 

Now: Trotman or Powell?

[benali-shorts]

According to Ross's new algorithm, Darren Powell will be worth £37m in two seasons' time, so he is our man.

[Bwanamakubwa]

Trots for me if I was forced to choose. He will keep the wage structure intact

Neither, bring back Jan-Paul Saeijs

Is that Glen Murray in the first photo?

 

Now there's a question Glen Murray or Gabbi which would you rather have?

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

We need proven Premier League defenders IMO. Sadly, we will never see the likes of Andreas Jakobsson & Calum Davenport again though.

Glen Murray wihtout a doubt.

[Lighthouse]

If we signed Glenn Murray, we’d be pinging long balls over the top for him to run on to.

 

Back to the OP, Trotman - I actually thought he was alright. Darren Powell was one of the most hopelessly I gifted footballers I’ve ever seen in a saints shirt. He had a 50p head, Toblerone feet and ran like he was carrying a sack of cement. On the rare occasions he wasn’t injured (or suspended for violent conduct in a pre-season friendly) you wished he was.

Duh, but that would mean he has to play every game. I'd take Chris Perry to give us some leadership and PL know-how. Quicker than Hoedt and better in the air than Vestergaard; hopefully he's kept himself in good nick, I'd get him straight in next week.

[Lets B Avenue]

I'd go for Scott Marshall. Played twice for us and scored in both.

 

In our net.

Who was the Irish CB we had on loan from Reading at the begining of the 2007/08 (?) season when we lost 1-4 at home to Palace ? That really was a standout debut.

 

Certainly had a great recruitment dept in those days.

Alan Bennett.

Alan Bennett. The only footballer I’ve ever seen who seemed surprised that a ball would bounce.

All thanks to Powell being sent off in a pre-season friendly with Bournemouth (?)

[LGTL]

I'd have Alan Bennett over Hoedt, and he's one of the worst CB's I've ever seen in a Saints shirt.

[Super_Uwe]

I would like us to sign 47 year old Chris Lucketti please. As opposed to the 36 year old version who we signed originally. We need experience.

[Badger]

Alan Bennett.

Thanks, had forgotten the name but not the woeful performance. Made Callum Davenport seem like Beckenbauer iin comparison.

No.

His brother Paul was immense though !!! ;-)

[SaintAndy14]

Just looked up Alan Bennett to see how his career turned out - 2 caps for ROI, both in 2007, and played in the Europa League for Cork City a couple of seasons ago!

 

Was woeful when he played for us.

[The Cat]

He gifted Jamie Scowcroft a hat trick. It was probably the worst performance I've seen from a Saints player and I was there when Ali Dia played.

[Colinjb]

Yet Alan Bennett eventually looked decent. By looking better as time goes on he could be a positive role model to Hoedt.

[St Chalet]

Alan Bennett, comfortably the worst debut I have ever seen. Got better though.

[Cabbage_Face]

[sotonist]

Hajto

[SaintAndy14]

Ironic that the pic above has "sporting heroes" written next to one of our many poor pieces of transfer business from around this period.

 

Also ironic that Bennett received his only 2 full ROI caps in '07 when he was all over the show. If he did indeed get better, going on to represent Wycombe Wanderers and Cheltenham Town amongst others, then the ROI had clearly seen enough.

Yeah, Bennett actually became OK. Davenport was ****e and remained ****e.

 

Anyway what's Allaedine Yahia up to?
