Anthony Pulis

[Thedelldays]

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)..

 

 

SFC is great, isnt it?

[VectisSaint]

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!!

I think you can almost see London from up there on your pedastal.

lol

 

Check your English before making such statements

[buctootim]

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.

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.

[OldNick]

lets give him a chance. It is always difficult to play at a club that your father manages.

[Big_Bald_Si]

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.

[lordswoodsaints]

tbh if he was any good he wouldnt be coming here.

but everybody deserves a chance and that is what we will give him(hopefully)

His dad has said he's joining us.

[Andy Durman]

NO! We should not give him a chance. WE SHOULD NOT BE SIGNING HIM!

[NickG]

NO! We should not give him a chance. WE SHOULD NOT BE SIGNING HIM!

 

why?

you could say the same about schneiderlin then

[buctootim]

Thanks for the capitals. They emphasise the quality of that thought.

Yes some mongs have already managed to blame him for our defeats despite being one of our best players.

TBF most football fans judge players before they sign. For as long as I can remember most signings have been met by remarks like "we don`t want him - he`s crap" or " he`s class - a brilliant signing". More often than not the truth turns out to be very different in both examples!

As an example you only have to look at all the hype Rudi Skacel got, at best played about three half decent games for us.

[Chez]

Stoke fans don't rate him. Simple.

[Thedelldays]

Stoke fans don't rate him. Simple.

saints fans dont rate many players that leave us....

[Scummer]

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.

[exit2]

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.

And so the Stoke fans who are dissing him have seen him twice

[broncoboy]

He has been hiding his inate talent well then .Must have been saving it for us.

 

Look it must have been his Mum saying to his Dad

 

"That boy needs a club sort it or you are on short rations"

Sorry, I will not say another word about this signing as it is most unlike me

as you can tell re my comments about players in the past or present squad. Forgive me for my outburst and even though I have seen him play against Saints and several times in the west country I should keep my mouth shut and respect the person who made this decision. Once again sorry sIR.

I havent seen him play. You have and so your point is valid, but I myself will not be critical of him until I have seen him playing in a Saints shirt.

I cannot see any reason why we would sign him, other than Jan saw him and liked his play.

Or Pulis asked us to take him and it was hidden in with the deal

[VectisSaint]

Stoke fans don't rate him. Simple.

Yes they are, but whats that got to do with Pulis

[Fowllyd]

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.

 

Where did you get that £300,000 figure from? I hadn't seen it mentioned before.

Sounds like not many people have seen him play, he's appeared in so few games and most of them as a sub. Don't like the sound of him at all - even his own Dad doesn't rate him.

[exit2]

That crossed my mind to. Might be like the Delgardo deal where we had to sign his cousin Kleber Chala as well?

[swannymere]

Ferkin hell, i find myself in total agreement with TDD :cool: As a rule 90% of fans on messageboards hav'nt got a clue about a players value to a team cos they get all their information from the 'redtops' and interweb bull**** boards.

[Scummer]

Where did you get that £300,000 figure from? I hadn't seen it mentioned before.

 

Hmm, I might have imagined it. The number was in my head for some reason.

[Wildgoose]

But we're not signing anyone else so that we to have to take him.... they're taking Davies from us! I don't get it, and am hoping it may not happen anyway.

[Wildgoose]

Hmm, I might have imagined it. The number was in my head for some reason.

 

No, you're not imagining it, I read it somewhere too, but don't know where.....(and it was not on here)

.

 

That says enough.

[lordswoodsaints]

you could say the same about schneiderlin then

 

schneiderlin is a different case,he is here because another much larger team want him 'nurtured'.

[Fowllyd]

Hmm, I might have imagined it. The number was in my head for some reason.

 

No, you're not imagining it, I read it somewhere too, but don't know where.....(and it was not on here)

 

:-)

 

OK, was just wondering as I'd not seen any mention of money before. So it remains to be seen (a) if we're really signing him; and (b) how much, if any, money is involved.

 

What larks!

Stoke fans don't seem to like him....

[Andy_Porter]

Not exactly an inspiring signing, i'd rather sign a decent full back to allow Surman or James to move into midfield.

[devon saint]

You could say that about anyone !

[Andy_Porter]

It just seems to me that Anthony Pulis is one of the luckiest footballers to wear the red and white in Stoke City’s history.

 

Awesome!

[Minsk]

As far as I can tell he hasn't even joined us (I am hesitating to write the next word .....)yet, and may not even do so.

 

Can anybody point me to creditable site that says he will be coming to SMS?

 

Surely if it were as part of the Davies deal he would be here already? Davies signed for them yesterday!

[Rebel]

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

From all I have read about him, he seems more like the replacement for Ali Dia........

Only ever signed by his Dad - looks like Blair Sturrock Mk II and he follows Paul everywhere and isn't professional standard either.

[Rod Le Shearer]

holy smoke..for once I agree with Alpine.

this player is clearly not good enough for any team in the football league.the only one in his entire career who has given him contracts..is his father,FFS.

[saint1977]

Exactly. 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.
