Sounds like a very hot connection to me. I really hope it's gone cold I wonder if Derby will come in for him given the saints Derby connection after all Shilton and Mark Wright both went there the same season in 1987 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he'll be off to the world cup too. Personally, I'd rather he stayed under the radar for a little longer, and had a four week break this winter to resume the season with us when it re-starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertyell Posted 24 October, 2022 Share Posted 24 October, 2022 (edited) Doesn't look like he's in the provisional German world cup squad which has leaked. If they were holding off on operating on his shoulder because he was eying up the WC, they should probably get it booked now - it's a pretty long recovery period, IIRC.

At least TP did have a goal scoring record when he joined, Carillo was so obviously a shit signing it was hilarious watching divs on here trying to make out he’s scored one in two throughout his career 🤣 maybe we can get a tune out of him as late sub or something but he seems to be the exact opposite of what Martin wants in a player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suhari Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 He was solid tonight. Showed a little pace, made a strong headed clearance and a very good block.

I’m not sure he’s ever played for Martin, so he’s going on what he’s been told. ABK’s talent has never been in doubt but he’s earned his bad reputation. Much of it was earned in a shitshow season when we had lots of dressing room issues. But Martin has also earned his reputation as a good man manager so I wonder who has convinced him not to even try to rehabilitate ABK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSaint Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Recognizing that inflated egos are welded into most modern players, I still think we’ve had more than our fair share of really good players with bad attitudes. It’s very frustrating and it makes me wonder if there’s something on the inside at the root of it. Hate selling players like that but sometimes there’s little choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Mulgrew Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I see that Wolfsburg has just sold Lacroix, a CB, to Crystal Palace. How did ABK get on with Ralph? And did Ralph rate him well enough to be interested in bringing ABK back to Germany? Just putting 2 and 2 together to make 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Russ perseveres with a 5 man back line, then Suga, THB, Bednarek, ABK, KWP would be a superb back line for a newly promoted team. Add Ramsdale to that too. I guess it depends on whether anyone comes in for him. Same with TP, although with ABK coming on yesterday, it shows that perhaps he isn't as frozen out as TP is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
