Saint Garrett

Thanks for all your suggestions I shall bare them in mind. You're right in saying it feels like the Waterloo course at Sherfield Oaks goes on forever! Very nice though, despite being pretty tough. The rough is horrible, and its proved a bit too challenging for me at the moment ! Had a good round yesterday around Test Valley which we found a lot more forgiving, but also had a few boring holes, but was pretty nice and the blazing sun helped ! Would certainly go back there and see if I can beat my score, but will also keep an eye on groupon as that Romsey deal looks pretty good ! Thanks again!

Don't think so? Surely we wouldnt have had him while outside teh prem ?

Anyone else think the great man deserves a place on the SaintsWeb banner ?

I think it's more of a 'he was rated highly a few years ago, but since he has been relegated twice so will want to prove that he is good enough for the prem'. Despite it being a negative that he has been relegated, you can see Adkins using this as motivation for the coming season.

Didn't he win the Carling cup with Brum ?

LOL....It's Deppo.

I'm just not sure he is that good. I'd rather have Curtis Davies I think to Dann, he's been relegated twice in the last 2 years...not a great CV. I'm not writing him off as I'm sure he'll be a pretty solid signing, just think there is better out there to be had. Happy for him to step up though.

But he didn't though, did he. And surely that's more to do with Arsneal as they're so unwilling to spend big money and desparate for CB's...Plus he would have been available in Europe had he signed. Also...how close was he?

Think we could potentially do better but would be a solid acquisition if he joined. In Nigel we trust.

Nearly there... Or.... Davis Clyne, ? Hooiveld, Fox ........Morgan, Cork ?..........Davis..........Lallana ...........Lambert/J-Rod

Schneiderlin to really stand out next season for me and for us to finish around 13th/14th. We're more than capable, although agree what has been previously mentioned...we need to sort out CB.

Seaborne was pretty bad at CB in L1, done ok last year in the NPC but that was only a few games. He'd get ruined in the prem, Would be surprised if he is part of our 25 squad.

Now given clearance I think.

Updated OP.

I don't think we'll sign another striker. Think we'll go with what we have got and re-assess in January. Though a player who can play RW/LW/AM would be handy...kind of a step up from De Ridder. 2 centre backs and one keeper are a must though.

I think the fans of some clubs will be, but lets not get too far ahead of ourselves...Swansea play better football than us, and we do use the long ball quite a lot despite us playing football as well. We can mix it up to be as effective as possible, but I can see even our own fans surprised at how well a few of the players bed in, Schneiderlin especially. I think he'll look like he's played in that division for years.

I wonder if we insisted that Forepast went, rather then them asking for him. I'm sure we would have instigated that transfer.

eh?

Signed

Well I've received none of these emails, but tempted to cancel it...as I can just Sky+ MoTD and/or Goals on Sunday. plus they'll all be on soccer am/football focus/SSN and more than likely all the interviews will be on Solent anyway. I will see how it goes, if I dont use it. ill cancel it.

Alan Nixon did say on his twitter that we have been heavily scouting the dutch leagues. Once again, I've never heard of him, but in Nigel we trust.

If Guly wants to play, then he could have a huge part to play this season, but if he's not up for it, it's like playing with 10 men.

Harding was average in L1, pretty woeful in the NPC, and will be embarrassed next season if he plays in the prem.

Red not good enough IMO. Wouldn't be too bothered if Shaw and Stephens were our 2 3rd choice wing backs, and Ward Prowse our 5th CM, but wouldnt want to have to rely on these lads week in week out.
