Saint Garrett

He was utterly dreadful today. Surely not that bad usually? Only one English RB on show today.

What a goal.

Was fantastic first half. Not surprised he was replaced by Davis as we needed a bit more structured with already being in the lead. Was asked to do a job in RM of a 442 today and did it very well. More performances like that and he'll be we'll worry the £11.8m.

Who by? John Westwood?!

How can you say he wasn't?

Who knows?!

How can you not understand the fact demand drives cost?!

That's just stupid. He's on that money because he's a full international and has had a lot of interest in him.

He hasn't been "sh!te" though has he. He has struggled at times along with being superb at times. If you were expecting any 21 year old from a different continent to come into the Premiership and win matches on his own consistently then you're even more of an idiot. You said you'd much rather but a cheap player who will run a lot and be up for a relegation fight? You need goals to stay up and it's clearly the reason why we bought him in. I hope he has a superb game today and you shut up moaning.

Will want megabucks...but if money wasn't an issue then I'd definitely take him. He'll probably go back to Everton or go somewhere like QPR if they stay up.

Yes we would have been much better just getting someone like Glenn whelen

They haven't scored in 5 of their last 6 games or something. They'd probably be saying if they had gaston then they'd be further up the table. Don't understand some people on here it's almost like they want him to be sh!t so they can have a go at the chairman.

But they can't score goals?!?

Gaston said he was on about 65k a week.

But you have no idea about how much these players are being paid? Or signing on fees etc. Berbatov for example is probably on over 100k plus a big signing on fee. And we were never going to compete to bring in players such as Vertonghen loris and Dembele!!!

I like Bournemouth...

I meant minutes.... Just worked it out because I'm sad (based on a full game being 90minutes)....Morgan has played 2520, Gaston 1439.

Morgan's probably played twice as much tbf...

One of the best dj's on the radio IMO. Seen her twice and she was epic. Sure they'll be an awful lot of people on here who don't agree....

To be fair though, if you were to make a decision on Gaston after 4 games, or whatever Coutinho has played, you'd have said he was class. He was superb in that villa game, scored Everton away looked decent when he came on at Arsenal, and was superb vs Newcastle. And Coutinho does have Sturridge playing alongside him whereas Gaston had Lambert in front of him. As much as I love Rickie, he's not going to make te most of Gaston's intelligence.

People have short memories...a quick flick through this thread... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?40095-Ramirez

He came on at Chelsea!

Agree. I think it's called making stats fit your agenda. 5/6m is really not a lot of money in the premiership. Yes there are players who stand out as cheaper and done better, but there are also plenty who are expensive and poor. Yes for 12m you'd probably say that he's not been value for money yet, but don't understand people writing the lad off yet. Clearly got talent but has had a tough first season with injuries/family problems, i'm confident he'll come good and definitely don't think we should sell him at a loss.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Isgrove on the bench. We now have Lallana and Gaston back to fitness, J-Rod improving and worthy of his place in the XI, Puncheon should be starting at the moment, Mayuka not even getting on the bench for whatever reason. In CM we have Cork, Morgan, Davis, JWP. MP has clearly been given the challenge to bring the youth through IMO hence us getting rid of fringe players getting in their way (IMO)

There en lies the problem. England are just not very good.
