I must have misseds all these games where he was amazing and all these goals and assists.

THe most talented player we've ever let go?!! Are you sure???

Why would you suppose that? I think Lallana is very good on the left and also good down the middle, he interchanged very well with Puncheon last season so i would stick with that if we are to persist with 4-4-2. Personaly i am a big fan of 4-3-3/4-5-1 and think 4-4-2 is dated, i posted this a couple of weeks ago on another thread. I still prefer Puncheon on the right of a 5 ahead of Waigo.

No i haven't, because i went to most Saints game last season and know what i saw. Dont need to arse around tapping away at my keyboard to try and prove a point, i can do that having seen him play most of last season and actually knowing a decent player when i see one.

IMO opinion he technically wasn't better than nearly all our players. No intellegence at all, always offside, not a great first touch, an average finisher, poor in the air but what he was was fairly quick and unpredictable, and he ran around a lot (which is some peoples eyes all a player has to do to be brilliant) therefore a great option to come off the bench. And it is nonsense because you are using Pardew not using an average player when better was available as a stick to beat him with comparing it to keeping two top players like Tevez and Mascarano on the bench and picking Mullins. That in ability terms would be like picking Waigo ahead of Lambert.

An absolutely spot on assesment of him, IMO of course. I didn't mind him as a squad player but no more than that.

Oh right must be only me that thought our best form last season was after January, you know the run which if it had lasted the season would have been champions form. Which by coincidence was also when Papa was no more than a squad player. So who would you pick ahead of in our best 11, Lambert prehaps, or Connolly, Barnard, or how about leaving Lallana out for him, Puncheon maybe? Or last season he could have been picked ahead of our other world beater who is no longer here Antonio, but no, 99% of fans prefered Antonio and would still have him back given the choice of the two. I know some of you loved to romantisise about past players, but Papa was not good enough for first 11, not after January and not now.

THis is utter nonsense, The simple fact is Waigo was not good enough to be in our starting 11 when everyone was available. He was okay, not great, unpredictable and had his best games when coming of the bench to offer something a bit different. To say he was messed about is ridiculous. It's only now he has gone people are remising about how great he was supposed to have been and his goal against Torquay which got us through in the first round of the JPT.

I know what you are saying about if you aint done anything wrong etc but i was sitting in the Kingsland north on saturday, minding my own business and not causing any trouble with no camera aimed at me, but it did annoy me that there was a copper stood there filming for ages. Some people did get a bit to annoyed and started to remostrate with the police which is just plain silly in my eyes as all they will achieve is getting nicked or ejected, but it was antagonising a lot of people. I dont know or care why the police felt the need to film for so long, although i guess its part of the Echo sponsored crack down on our supposed hooligan element, but it was but it was provoking the crowd and winding people up, which is surely not what they are there to do.

Strachan used to do the same, i remember reading when we signed Prutton that they had a 'comittee' of 6, they all agreed on Prutton. Not sure who was on it though. Seems a great idea to have a few opinions.

So did Papa and Antonio, you know, the players you were so desperate for us to sign perform to a misleading level? Just as well we didn't get them then as they must have had 'Saganowski Syndrome'. Thank f*ck for that.

Isn't every signing? So least season he played in a team that was playing the league above our level, albeit in a foreign country, and that team was promoted, so to top flight, so it's a bit like us signing Kevin Nolan. How has Dicksons signing not worked out, after TWO games?

It's not hard to understand you being underwhelmed, not hard at all. Who where you expecting? Who would have made you all warm and glowing?

Such as? We tried to get Bailey and Danns and failed. Weren't you clamouring for the return of Papa a while back? he was a local lad wasn't he. You've got one of the signings you were depserate for, surely you must have raised a tiny little grin when you saw it announced?

You're right, they probably didn't do any research on him, just looked on Champ manager and picked anyone who was available. Fact is not every signing does work out, Veron, Crespo, Schevhenko etc, who'd have thought that when they signed. So why gamble £1m on someone that might not, when you can get them for minimal outlay have a look at them, them look at us and assuming all goes well get a permenant deal. Do you not agree or should we just sign him for the sake of it? If it doesn't work out f*ck it, we are rich, it's only a £1m quid.

Why? Surely this is ideal. What appears to be a decent player here who wants to prove himself, if he is good he is ours, if he turns out to be sh*te we send him back and not lumbered with big wages and spent a large fee on someone who aint up to it, how can the way this deal is structured be anything other than a good thing?

there he is

Or go with 5 in midfield with Puncheon, GUlly and Lallana advanced with Barnard and Connolly on the bench.

But what about if he gets injured? Who is going to cover for him then? We need to sign another player in case of this. And it's on f*cking loan, loans are not the answer.

oh look, something has happened, happy now?

Yep, two games in, it is f*cked.

we are 2 hours and 6 minutes into Monday morning Alp's what did you expect? A 9am announcement of 3 new signings?

The police ban everyone in the Northam and Itchen North for persist standing and abusive chanting directed at them. AP calls for calm as Saints fail to win at least one more game between now and October and the fans call him tactically inept and no longer the man for the job RL sustains a minor knock and has to come off for 20 minutes of the home game against Bournemouth, his loanee cover player makes his debut and doesn't score a hatrick with his first three touches leading the fans to declare him as not the answer and a poor signing. Our new wonder signing from Italy, who everyone declared as the new Pele on his arrival despite having never heard of him, doesn't perform at 10/10 in every game, and average a goal a game with 9 assists a game and everyone slates him as not being the answer and bad business Depsite strengthening our defence, midfield and attack during the last week of the window, certain posters claim that our squad is weaker than when we finished 8th the PL and we have no ambitions to be promoted

Why? What do we know about him? a 4 minute you tube clip of his best bits, that is all. Yes he looks a decent player but who wouldn't if they just showed their best bits in a short film. The much meligned Paul Telfer (who i though was okay by the way) scored a terrific 30 yarder for us when he was here, stick that on a video with a few other passes, tackles etc then i am sure everyone would give him the same reaction. Until we have seen him deliver consistantly over a few months we cant really comment on if he is the Lionel Messi of League One. It always makes me laugh when you see people cracking one out over a player who a few days earlier no one had never even heard of. So in summary would i be pleased if we signed him? Probably, looks decent enough based on what i have seen, would i be overjoyed and praising the management and the board for the greatest signing since Keegan? No, well at least not until he proves himself.

I like him, he is frustrating yes, he is a 6 out of 10 or a 9 out of 10 player. But what he does have is the ability to create something out of nothing.
