He has many excellent qualities... but he's actually quite limited as a footballer, in my opinion. Obviously the stuff he does well (superb passing, dead ball scoring, incredible fitness, winding up Zaha) he does REALLY well and of course he'd do a job for us if he returned. His free kick goals alone would net us points. But his weaknesses I think are actually amplified here due to how RM wants us to play. JWP isn't great at taking players on, he doesn't travel with the ball especially well and his playstyle inherently slows us. And while I'm of course not blaming him, let's remember that he was ever-present throughout a long period where Saints were the poorest they've been while I've been a supporter (since the early/mid '90s). Plus, in all honesty I don't think he was an especially great captain, either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that but still think for a loan he would provide valuable experience (along with Ramsdale and Lallana) and a bond with the fans, which is important, sometimes more than performances alone. His dead ball contributions would also be handy to link to the striker I hope we are working on now. So personally all for it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may get a loan in but likely they'll just keep Gilmour. Sucks for O'Riley though.

Although he did a great job for us there under Ralph. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked unplayable, not just domestically but internationally he was scoring for Albania most games. Got to wonder if his career would have panned out differently had he signed for us, as we tried to do that in the January. He'll probably end up at a top half Championship team in the second half of the season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he explained himself rather well. He didn't explain himself at all, it was a cleverly worded statement that avoided explaining what beliefs it is that prevent him from participating in the show of support. Had he at least included something like 'I fully support peoples right to equal treatment whatever there sexuality' I might have had more time for him but he didn't he just made a nicely worded statement that basically says I don't believe in supporting the rights of people with a different sexuality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
