I am told what a great goalscoring machine he will be in the CCC ........... well worth us accepting £300K ..........

"Best Goalscorer" .... past tense ... currently, NOT interested in Saints "Like seeing us score goals " ... yes I do, ... refer to answer above "subbed at 90 mins " ....OK, if you were Manager, when exactly would you put a player who has stated publicly, that he does not want to play for us. Exactly what sort of message does that send out to all the other players that are busting a gut for the cause ??? I am "cheering his exit" as you put it because he is a "Drain on the Rations"..... WHY should I show any sort of support to a Player whose SOLE ambition for Months is to LEAVE ????? I would have adopted the Lawrie Mac approach ..... " OK, if you won't give 100% whilst we are PAYING you 100% .... then you won't get a game ...... and kindly pass that on to your Polish Team Manager " ......... THAT would have worked By not giving 100% to Saints, he has in my book, lost all respect in my eyes ......... I would rather see ( another ) Young player running around giving 100% effort and committment to our cause:cool: It may be before your time, but the likes of Shankley would have chucked him in the Mersey long ago

Aparently, as much as you have for getting value for money ......... the fact that he would do quite well in the CCC has nothing to do with the fact that he is under contract to Saints, and being PAID by Saints ...... and as long as he remain(ed)s at Saints, he should give 100% to Saints, his EMPLOYERS As a Boss, would you pay anyone Mega Money, and then be content to sit back and watch that person give less than 100% ???? If so, can I come and work for you please ???

"GIVE THE BLOKE A CHANCE " .... are you his Agent ???, or just having a laugh .....Do you actually GO to St Mary's ???????? He gets a chance EVERY TIME he ambles on to the pitch ...... and for quite a while now .... he's done F All .... and has made it VERY clear he does not want to play for us !!!!!!! OK, I have no problem with that ... BUT, he is a PROFESSIONAL Footballer, ie he is supposed to play Football for a living ...... but by not giving a Stuff whenever he does come on the pitch for Saints, he is being UN Professional, he is letting the other 10 players down, and, IMHO he should NOT be paid for Services he is NOT providing You too, must be someone who has a Boss who wouldn't mind if you sat at your desk all day, working at 30% ........:cool:

I'm not on about him getting the "best deal" .... I'm on about him being UN professional with US ........He TAKES his Money, 100% of it ....... but he does NOT give 100% to his EMPLOYERS, ie Saints ....... Apparently, you think that, as he's in Div 1 .. "through no fault of his own" .... he can just stroll around until he gets fixed up with a Club of his liking ??? ....... Fair enough ...... IF he wasn't still taking 100% Wages for 30% Effort I assume that if you sat at your Work desk, only doing half your workload, your Boss would still be only too pleased to pay you Full Whack ????:cool: f

21 Employ Mr "Lienam" as Press Officer/Consortium "Lieason" Officer .....the "Pinnacle" of his career ...........:cool:

IMHO, Regretably, we need a RB as PRIORITY .... with the best will in the world, Murty is out Long Term at best ........:cool: Shame ... just as we were beginning to gel IMHO

Saints have had TWO bids in for him .... Reading and Watford ....... but, apparently, the Greedy B'stard "doesn't like" one of the Teams .......... I suppose mainly because they won't pay his inflated ego wage demands .... plus of course they want him to give 100% EFFORT to the cause ... something that has been sadly lacking fom him for us ...... even though he always accepts hi Wages with 100% enthusiasm Lawrie Mac would have sorted him out long ago just ask Mark Wright:cool:

Plus .... having a Ref so blatently Baised towards BC it was unreal .... with TWO "linesmen" who, though close to some of BC's late tackles .... uttered not a word Kelvin went on about BC's "Class" ........I certainly didn't see it .... just a lot of Cloggers with a Free Licence To Maim Saints were the only "Football Team " on the Park .... and the ONLY way Birmingham could counter that was to adopt their THUG approach Regretably, sometimes the Good Guys don't always win .......:cool:

Re 67-50-68-82-73-77-80 So did I ..... I just rang in and claimed £2M ............:cool:

....... " Because we're worth it !!!!!!!..."

My take on it was that Pardew had to offload some players BEFORE he could bring any in ......... which, IMHO, is very NEGATIVE from Leibherr/Cortese .... ie If the Poles STAY ..... no more signings .... and we will not do well with what we have currently got .... it's only HALF way there IMHO:cool:

Maybe not ... but it COULD happen still .......... The most elusive thing is OUR FIRST WIN .... once that happens, I think it could ease the pressure, and we would start winning regularly AP's BIGGEST problem is the fact that he inherited players used to LOSING, and he somehow has to change the Mindset to WINNING ..... Not easy ........ as we can see .......

The Echo ....... " Pole Axed " ...........

Well ... he'll be a scalp for somebody .........

Therefore, they should charge " a couple of nicker ":D

Yes ..... and they won quite a few on the trot .... cleared the -15 pretyy quickly, and therefore eased the pressure .......

Strange ... ???? on another thread, AP intimated that he could only bring more players in .... AFTER he had sold some ........ ... I would have thought the "Budget" would have allowed him to get more than he has ..... I'm sure that many on here thought that Mr Leibherr would have funded AP more than is apparent ??? We NEED more NEW players ........ Getting rid of the Poles was always going to be difficult ..... to compensate for their inflated wage demands, we will most likely have to give them a way for peanuts .. IMHO

REALISTICALLY, a Div 1 Team is not expected to beat a Prem Team ........ and as we are not playing as a Team (YET) ......... I fear that (another) defeat will only sap the Team's confidence even more Hope I am wrong of course, but I think playing a Prem Team NOW is not quite the right time IMHO

Surely it's Flat .........???

Fair point ... but I would have thought that Saints would have issued a "no longer interested" statement ????

..... " Refereee stops Boys playing with their Balls ...... " Shock Horror:cool:

Funny how people view the same game differently .... Me, I thought we were in with a shout to score ....more so than ANY time last season For me, last season was seeing some very good young Footballers play Pretty Pretty Football, but with no-one Up Front to finish the moves off with a goal We ARE better than last season, and IMHO, slowly but surely, we ARE Improving What AP needs is the hardest thing ... THE FIRST WIN .... that in itself would steady the nerves of the players .... just to see a 3 point chunk of the deficit wiped out ..... at the moment it's like a millstone ...... As for your last line .... no point bringing him into the debate ........ everybody knows he had a phobia re crosses ...... ( sorry to the religious fraternity )
