saints triumph Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 (edited) What of our current squad are on loan untill January. My concern is that we may well lose some influential players which may unsettle the team. What players are actually Saints?

Saint Charlie Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 Only Cork and Pekhart are on loan until Jan I believe. Don't worry this is perfectly normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungle Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 (edited) We have two loan players. Two. Good to see some negativity though. I was getting worried all the negative people had run away. Also, you have used the word "loose" - which makes no sense. Edit: I see you have edited your poor grammar. I must wonder, how many of our players did you think were on loan? Are you this negative in every day life? Edited 27 August, 2008 by bungle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you have used the word "loose" - which makes no sense. So true, especially when most other clubs have signed someone on loan for a month initially., at least we are forward thinking. If TP and JC play well for us, either their loans will be extended until the season or thei clubs will want them back as is their perrogative. Chill.

a1ex2001 Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 pointless thread, we will lose two players one of whom hasn't even played yet so can hardly be described as influential. If I remember rightly last time Birmingham were promoted half there first team was on loan from Arsenal and it didn't seem to bother them much. For the first time in ages I'm enjoying being a saints fan and hearing people talk about our football rather than our off the field problems lets just enjoy it while we can?

Saint_clark Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 Getting them until january is perfect. If they turn out crap we can just get replacements in the next window. If they turn out decent we can just extend their loan. One more player coming in I think, and that'll be our squad for the season..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints triumph Posted 27 August, 2008 Author Share Posted 27 August, 2008 Being a Saint for so many years I can't help thinking some b@stard will p155 on my bonfire. Have to say I am enjoying the ride while it lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 Don't worry mate - the two loans we have in now are not first choice, so it makes little difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwill Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 Tom Pekhart is on loan for the whole season. However when he finds out we don't play in front of 30,000 every game he may have other ideas! (He is quoted as saying "They have big ambition and that is what lures me and every game their matches are attended by 30,000 fans.") http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8727_4052937,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More worried about january when they all come waving their cheque books (and they will if we keep playing like this).

More worried about january when they all come waving their cheque books (and they will if we keep playing like this). As for now loving what im seeing a) we will have played 26 league games. b) the young players who have been playing great football, in an exciting team, would be out of their minds, to go somewhere else to play in the reserves, or go on loan, when some of them have been waiting ages to get first team football. c) I have no intention of anticipating what will/will not happen over 4 months from now. d) The young loan players if they are successful and enjoying their football, will IMO want to continue, rather than go back to the reserves, or go somewhere else on loan., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 If they are in the first team, I can't see them wanting to go back to Chelsea/Spuds reserves. If they aren't in the first team, it's not the end of the world if they leave. Also, Saganowski's loan is only until January also, so if Pekhart doesn't stay, we may well Keep Saga to fill the void.

Junction 9 Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 They probably wouldn't want to go back, but if playing that well might be recalled by their clubs and would have no say in the matter. I'm not being negative I'm just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More worried about january when they all come waving their cheque books (and they will if we keep playing like this). As for now loving what im seeing I should imagine the vultures will be looking at our future stars for the new season (2009-2010), a bit like Bale. Although Theo left in the Januaary window this was slightly different as he was not under contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 If they are on loan they are on offer.. FACT! Stop worrying, if they were considered really that special they wouldn't be at SMS believe you me. You've forgotten how big is the gulf between Chelsea, Spurs and us in terms of playing strength and ambition. If we can off-load the old has-beens / never-was's before then don't bet against signing them both. What future for Jack Cork at Chelsea with Kaka and all the rest of the £50m + contingent?

Arizona Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 Sadly, footballers aren't blessed with logical brains. They have bright lights and media induced starry-eyed dreams. Mills and Cranie come to mind. Even Oakley, if you can believe it..! I don't think you can say Oakley was ever a glory hunter. He moved from a Saints side who had a new manager with money to spend and were widely tipped for promotion, to Derby, who had just finished something like 18th and were in serious debt. He moved because Burley wouldn't give him the same 2 year contract he offered Wright less than a month later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wightman35 Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 Being a Saint " Some b@stard will p155 on my bonfire.". This could be our new motto; except the new team of Jan and his merrie men may well have rid us of that hoodoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
