Thedelldays Posted 20 August, 2008 Share Posted 20 August, 2008 welcome to SFC (if you have arrived) I see fans have already decided he is crap....what wonderful supporters we have (who have a major habbit of being wrong by the way)..

VectisSaint Posted 20 August, 2008 Share Posted 20 August, 2008 As I said on another thread he is the direct replacement for Jermaine Wright, Paul Telfer and Rory Delap. We need a blame figure, since Jasmine left we have no-one to blame for our defeats, whether the blame is valid or not. Pulis will soon be the most talked about player on this board.

I think you'll find that Lowe & Wilde took that position from Jasmine! And as regards to a player, I'm sure Kelvin Davis would still be the fans favourite in this area!!

buctootim Posted 20 August, 2008 Share Posted 20 August, 2008 DD is right. Too many fans enjoy wallowing in misery. Pulis has most likely been brought in as backup -which we sorely need. I'd back the clubs judgement against the depressive ramblings of many here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buctootim Posted 20 August, 2008 Share Posted 20 August, 2008 I thought the Stoke fans were way ahead of us in appraising his footballing talents. The fact that Pulis wasn't rated by a team of long ball hoofers encourages me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Bald_Si Posted 20 August, 2008 Share Posted 20 August, 2008 Do we know if he's actually signing? As far as I know, it was simply a fleeting mention he would sign on the "this is hampshire" web page. All reports since then on BBC and Sky Sports have made no mention of him.

SFC is great, isnt it? TBF most football fans judge players before they sign.

Scummer Posted 20 August, 2008 Share Posted 20 August, 2008 I personally don't see why we would be spending 300k on a player who's not that young but only has a handful of career appearances, when we've currently got Wotton and Euell as backup. But hey, what do I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exit2 Posted 20 August, 2008 Share Posted 20 August, 2008 I do agree, it is a bit harsh to diss a player before he has signed but his record is quite appauling! Pulis has a playing career which to be frank is crap! He has played for six clubs at an age of 24 (3 of which I think were managed by his dad) 2003-2004 Portsmouth 0 (0) 2004- Stoke City 2 (0) 2004-2005 Torquay United (loan) 3 (0) 2006 Plymouth Argyle (loan) 5 (0) 2006-2007 Grimsby Town (loan) 9 (0) 2008 Bristol Rovers (loan) 1 (0) (from wiki and soccer base) So a total of 20 appreances (13 as sub I believe) The other issue here is why are we signing a midfielder when the money could be better spent on a defender? But you never know he could blossom under JP, so we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted 20 August, 2008 Share Posted 20 August, 2008 let hope he doesn't join us - the last thing we needed was another midfielder I'd rather we got a right back or left back and let Lloyd James and Andrew Surman play in their proper positions - midfield And at 24 (?) and still unproven it doesn't suggested he's any goog plus he's Tony Pulis' son and a Skate to boot! he will become the boo boy for all these reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of whether this story is true or not, that should be JP's number 1 and number 2 priorities - 2 season-long loan full-backs. If there is anything left for a striker, that's important too but not top priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
