he was bought as a target player i believe,hes not so did saints actually watch him before buying,if they did then that person should be sacked.Watch him hes trying to play the same as armstrong playing on the last defenders shoulder to run in behind.His pre season goal was exactly this.

fact is they were quite happy to keep his midfield partner and let him go for inflated money,says it all

the only difference between the pair is one makes mistakes and a few saves the other makes mistakes and barely saves anything,how poor must george long be to be behind these two chancers.

he wouldnt be a good fit for them as every player works his socks off

i have been suffering this virus for weeks and can promise you being active has been the last thing on my mind.

he was done when they sacked all his backroom staff and kept him on

or motor boating,much more fun

this is the key point,they want a yes man who wont rock the good ship sports republic

i so want will still and my team to do well but i have to be honest he worries me

we have 2 basic problems,we cant keep a clean sheet and manning is a big part of that problem and now he doesnt attack either,the other is we move the ball far to slowly nobody takes a chance with a pass forward teams have loads of time to set up against us,we never knock the ball into space and turn teams round,if we did this teams would sit back and give us more space.Quite frankly if you take away the messing around in the 6 yard box we are exactly the same as last season

if you watch him hes trying to do the same as armstrong which is play on the shoulder to run on to things,however saints bought him as a target man and he clearly isnt that so that begs the question did saints actually scout him,ie watch him i would say clearly not because if they had it would be clear he wasnt a target man and couldnt trap a bag of cement if it fell on his head.

sadly most saints fans could set this side up better even with what we have.Two other points why doesnt jelleart start as he was our best player at liverpool and who in there right mind thought that manning was a better option than charlie taylor.

this is where the old combination league is such a loss,you would have played them in that and they would have played against experienced pros so you would already have a handle on them,all this academy football teaches them nothing and thats why they get loaned out

worryingly we recruited him as a target man which he clearly never has been in his career and the fact that he lacks one of the skills a pro footballer needs which is how to control and keep the ball.

we need to stop making excuses for our goalkeepers,none of the 3 of them would or should be anwhere near championship teams.
