PokingFun Posted 2 May, 2009 Share Posted 2 May, 2009 Whenever his contract was up he was full of how much he loved southampton wants to stay blah blah blah He doesnt want to be in league one cos you get paid less there! END of story In fairness, who can blame him for that either. We all go to work to be paid what we are worth (or perceive we are worth) and footballers are surely no different. At the end of the day, hes a polish fringe international player who is better than League One standard and is entering the last year of his contract so of course he won't want to stay here and play at that level especially as we could not afford him anyway unless someone pretty affluent buys us. If you played champions league football this season and someone said to you they wanted you to play L1 and have a much reduced salary to boot, as well as ruin any chance of playing in the world cup for your country, do you think you would stay at a club riddled with debt, unsure if they could pay your wages, even if you did love the club?? Nah, no one would do that - not even our god matty would have done that surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madsent Posted 2 May, 2009 Share Posted 2 May, 2009 Great finisher, the best we've had for ages - but let down by a **** attitude. The fact he was so capable of scoring just emphasised how often he turned up but couldnt be bothered IMO. Actually, he's quite a poor finisher who had a purple patch for a few games under Burley (when we utilised the attacking threat of Bale, Skacel and Jones) and a run of 3 games under Wotte. People blame Leon Best for our failure against Derby in the playoffs but I thought Saga's inability to hit the target in those two games despite plenty of chances (I seem to remember him hitting the woodwork at least twice) cost us. Those people who say he didn't play much last season should remember that he went over 1000 minutes (approx 11 whole games) without a goal before scoring against Sheffield Utd. I admit that Burley messed him about but he had to be dropped after going 3 months without a goal despite having a decent amount of playing time. In all his goal drought covered 21 games in which he started 11 times and was sub 10. If you then factor in his lack of goals since the Preston game this season then I think it's right for him to go. He has never come close to replicating his initial run of goals with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daren W Posted 2 May, 2009 Share Posted 2 May, 2009 Funny how today we have two threads that revolve around "loyalty." NickH finds it hard to forgive a manager who stayed at the club for 12 years. Numerous posters on here find it hard to forgive a player who wants to leave after relegation to League 1 Personally I find it hard to criticise an international player who thinks that a drop to the third team will harm his career. Especially a player who was farmed out on loan for a large portion of his last season here and was only brought back when the situation got drastic. It's hard for a player to feel that much for a club when he's been messed around so much. No hard feeling Marek, I don't expect a Polish international striker to be playing League One...

Window Cleaner Posted 2 May, 2009 Share Posted 2 May, 2009 Bye bye saga. You won't be missed. What a waste. He had his moments, but really since he was in Portugal in 2005 or something like that he has had a bit of a chequered history, blowing hot and cold and actually being thrown out of the first team squad at Troyes for lack of effort or something of that ilk.Been a long season for him though with the Euro and they Danish League and the early rounds of the Champions League. No doubt he was bitterly disappointed that no-one came in for him in January,mind you so were we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt he was bitterly disappointed that no-one came in for him in January,mind you so were we. I had some Polish guys working for me during his hot spell on loan. They were laughing at me because I kept going on about him. They were basically saying "it wont last" and "he'll be rubbish soon". Evidently he was a boy wonder, until some sort of accident, they claim he's never been the same since. Unfortuantly I cant ask them now, as they all went back to poland.

St Landrew Posted 2 May, 2009 Share Posted 2 May, 2009 No complaints really. Saga has aspirations of playing for Poland in the World Cup, and if he's playing in League One then that's unlikely to happen. On top of that, we can't afford Saga's wages anyway, especially if we're planning for life in League One. He's been poorly treated by the club all season, and you can't really blame him for asking to leave. If anything, I'm surprised he hasn't asked to go sooner! Saga has been very good for us on the whole, and despite what others have said, he's a good player. Will never forget his hat-trick at Wolves! I wish him all the best in the future. Well said Bailey, I go with every word of that ! David Same here. I don't enjoy seeing and reading today's Saints supporters not appreciating the good that a player has done. I have absolutely no affinity with that attitude. Saganowski is a striker, and he depends on the team around him to give him good service in order to score goals. The fact that he always put in 100%, and played his part, whether he scored or not, seems to count for nothing these days. If I was him, I'd be saying no to League One as well. I'd know I was better than that, and he certainly is. He leaves Saints with my best wishes for the rest of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an international striker who can't score in Denmark or in the CCC. He isn't international quality and I doubt he'll get a decent contract anywhere else or play more than a game or two more for Poland. We were warned by a bloke in France as soon as we gave him a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm old enough mate I count myself as sane by the way - yes we had to cut costs, but it all goes back to Lowe's inability to differentiate between Cost and Value. I won't use the old Oscar Wilde quote again. There are other ways of cutting costs than farming your whole strike force out on loan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
