fareham saint phil Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 Sadly gone are the days of "hes not good enough to play for saints", we are a league 1 side -10 points so not really an attractive proposition for players or a manager, we need solid hard working players who will sweat blood for the cause, not even 11 MLT's would get us out of this division. JW was never the most talented player to wear a Saints shirt but he did try even if his best wasn't good enough then, it could be now in this division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW was never the most talented player to wear a Saints shirt but he did try even if his best wasn't good enough then, it could be now in this division I agree to a certain extent but he was no spring chicken when he was released and we're a further year down the line. What we need and have been lacking in recent seasons is speed and athleticism. JW would make our already slow midfield even slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, for this level the standout attributes are muscle, stamina and/or pace. For Centre-Backs, height is a must and pace a bonus.

saint1977 Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 Morrison is avery good striker at Stevenage but again more than good enough for Div 1. Matt Gill at Exeter may well be on his way to Wycombe for Free...end of contract a very good player. Gill has joined Norwich which is where he is originally from. Exeter are looking done already next year having lost Moxey as well. Tisdale would really fancy this job I suspect. I'd like to see us pick Danny Graham on a free. Proven at this level but needs good management. Better athlete than McGoldrick though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 Without checking too much our old friend Jermaine Wright is available after being released, sits back and awaits the insults!!! never wanted hin to leave. Thought he did a very decent job at right back (Colchester away apart). I guess we were unlucky with Thomas' injury but going into the season with only a centre midfielder to play at right back (without any cover in front of him) was a massive gamble which for a large part of the season did not pay off. If James stays I don't think there is room for Jemaine back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Posted 10 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 10 June, 2009 I wouldn't really want Jermaine back. His head's screwed on the right way, but he is scarcely an improvement on Wotton in the tallent department. Also he turns 34 in October and I don't think he would be able to get much slower without breaking the laws of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity about Gill who is a very good mid field player...Started in Norwich Youth teams aged 10 but somehow ended up at Notts county then Exeter...But as you say he is pleased to be signing for his and his wife home town team. He was being chased by Peter Taylor at Wycombe. I think Moxey has gone to Derby...Exeter are in serious trouble of losing all their best players.....money like Saints....They still have a very good reserve lad called Bennet and Sercombe and Matt Taylor.. Let us hope Saints do not get left too far behind with any experienced players up for grabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottery st mary Posted 12 June, 2009 Share Posted 12 June, 2009 Morrison Striker at Stevenage. Saunders Winger at Dagenham Strevens Striker at Dagenham Gill Mid field Exeter Moxey Winger Left Midfield or Left Back at Exeter Woodards or Jones Full Backs at Crewe. Just a small shopping list of possibles on free or small change.....Just the job for Saints. Looking like the following moves are on the cards Saunders to Brenford. Strevens to Exeter or Brentford Gill has gone to Norwich Moxey has gone to Derby...almost Woodards has gone to MK Dons Billy Jones is looking like next Exeter buy....Good left back/left side who used to play at Exeter. Alex Inglethorpe is looking possible Manager for Watford..although they are also interested in Paul Tisdale.......Saints...Well we will see some of these players at St Marys this season.

Wright is actually a very good passer of the ball and one of the few Saints players in recent years who could take a corner. It is not possible to be slower or less skillful than Wotton.

The problem would be that a suitable midfield partner would have to be a creative man mountain, and we don't have too many players who are either, let alone both. I had the same gripe to an extent with Safri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strevens, Saunders and Foster from Dagenham have all ended up at Brentford under an up and coming Manager in Scott..Interesting to see how they go this season. Will we be in the market this year or too late and have to go with what we have and any favour loans when MLT and team get into gear...Sercombe, Frear and Bennett at Exeter worth watching out for this season.

Big John Posted 25 June, 2009 Share Posted 25 June, 2009 (edited) Grant Holt. Impressive work ethic and although not young and currently League 2, he might be able to work hard for David McG to mop up a few more than he did last season. http://www.cu-fc.com/page/News/0,,10424~1698796,00.html I hear that he has a lot of respect for us, and even as 'back up' may be considered a good acquisition. Edit: Linked to Colchester as they have just been knocked back. Shrews board want to sell him as they missed out on their 'bonus' last season (failed play-offs) apparently.

MerceSaint28 Posted 25 June, 2009 Share Posted 25 June, 2009 I can't beleive some of the naff transfers you guys are considering. Jermaine Wright !!!!! you must be kidding me, one of the worst players to wear the red and white. Some of the toilet we have brought in is unbeleivable the last few years and owes more to poor scouting than anything else. Teams like Burnley and Preston have been buying bargains and building good squads under our noses. Just because we are in div 1 doesn't mean we can't still be attrative to players, especially if this takeover happens. The following players are on free's and are much better than any of the filth you lot have suggested Sam Sodje - solid centre half who takes no prisoners. Spent last quarter of the season on loan at Leeds Michael Duberry - experienced centre half with loads of experience Carl Hoefkins - experienced Belgium centre half James Scowcroft - Rugged centre half who would toughen up our team and bring physicality. It would allow us to hold up play and bring in the flair players like Lallana and McGoldrick. Was gonna sign on loan but we had no cash at the time. Thoughts ??
