Saint Keef Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Sad to see him go, but probably the right move for all concerned. As someone else said, £7m for the service he has provided for the club is an absolute bargain. Sincere best wishes to him. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyNumber7 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Good luck Stuey and thanks for the memories, been a great servant to the club. Real shame his season ended with injury but played an important part in getting us back to the PL and will always be fondly remembered as a Saint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Very disappointed to see him leave. I can only assume the deal he was offered was only for a year and he wanted something longer? I think we need players like him for what's ahead. As others have said, I'd rather have SA than Lallana. Can't help but feel that this isn't a great start to proceedings. The club really needs to make sure that they get the Flynn Downes transfer sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Class, skillfull player, another of the underrated gems we've unearthed in recent years, much like Steven Davis. Loved the swerve on the Coventry goal. Seemed to decline a bit after he got caught COVID (one of the first in the team to come down with it, IIRC?) But on his day, unplayable for most opponents. We wouldn't have been promoted without his input last season. Probably one of my favourite players of the last few years, I'll miss the Scottish Messi and wish him nothing but the best in his next move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I dont feel the club wanted him gone. He has made a choice and we dont know how he will recover from his injury. Personally the extra step up to the Prem may be a bit too far for him a couple of seasons on. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the transfer window, we're obviously going to be looking to replace him and to put it bluntly I don't want either Stu or Lallana in the squad next season. We can't be sentimental if we want to stay up and decent Championship players aren't going to cut the mustard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I agree really that his time was up or that change was necessary. I do agree that he shouldn't be first choice anymore so if that is the criteria and he wants guaranteed games then it's for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I thought he'd get a decent championship club to be honest, but playing for Vancouver in the MLS probably has more appeal (although for a lot less money you'd imagine) than a season or two at Stoke or Preston.

Still have the pink coloured programme in the loft. Alan Ball also played and David Harvey was in goal for Whitecaps, I think Bruce Groballar (sp?) too. I also remember the 35 yard shootout, so either a draw was contrived, or it was an exhibition thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in there once on a school night and Hurlock, Adams, Horne, and Dowie were really tying one on, Dowie struggling a bit to keep up. He exited the upstairs toilet as I passed him, tripped and went down the staircase headfirst. Happy more gentle times when the players were fully embedded in the community.
