Dig Dig

This could be the first thread you've started which doesn't need immediate locking. Can anyone verify though that the WUM miltonroader is not making it up?

Yea, can see what you're saying. I think he's been bought in as Lamberts long term replacement as they have similar attributes, especially aerially. We don't have anyone who can replace lambert for a few games when needed so he's a good option to have and will provide a bit more mobility through the centre than Lambert currently provides. I think we probably won't see the best of Rodriguez this season, can see him taking some time to settle. I don't think that 6M is too much when you consider that Fletcher was sold for nearly 4 times that amount and Burnley fans rate Rodriguez as the better player.

No problem at all if you were a girl! I'll just have to stop touching myself every time you post from now on that's all

I think Rodriguez should be competing with Lambert for the central role. I can see Lambert coming off the bench often this season as the impact sub ala City with Rodriguez starting, particularly away. I really do think Adkins is just filling in holes until we get a couple of forwards in this week.

I thought you were a girl Maysie

It will be disatrous unless we get the right personnel in to play that formation. Pretty sure Rodriguez is just filling in and "doing a job" out left for now

After this week, Alpine will crawl back into his hole and will re-surface at an appropriate time in the not to distance future, most likely after one of our "butt ****ings" he's so found of. No doubt offering more pearls of wisdom.

That's interesting, thanks for sharing although I'm a little bit confused as Turkish emphatically told us all he's a winger and will play on the wing because he's a winger

We need a jimmy case type player more IMO

I wasn't serious about the quarter back comment FFS Agree with the rest of what you wrote though

Wrong AGAIN Turkish. He'll play the quarter back role for us. Btw, he played most of last season through the middle for Bologna. Did alright for a winger

De Zeuuw is now a detective in his native Holland. If Sol campbell is still unattached though, surely worth a 1 year deal?

Explain

Perhaps. I just don't see Fox as being the long term solution at LB at this level. If Boilsen or even Shaw can tackle, close down and be more progressive going forwards I would play them despite age and inexperience.

And the reference to Russia....what were you trying to say when the IPad changed that as well?

If we we're to sign his guy, maybe fox would be close to being moved on in this window or next. I don't think he's good enough for the prem. No pace, no desire to get forwards and never quick enough to close down....has anyone seen him actually tackle someone before?

Nixon sounded doubtful over Phillips as of last night. Said he would "cost a fortune". I would rather we bought a bog standard premier league defender anyway.

It's still your Saints, trust me......Saturday proved that!

Yea it would have been great to have James Collins or someone similar. These bog standard premier league defenders are awesome

Buried in among the other thread? Currently It's the last post on page 95. Not difficult for people to find is it? Is not even a good source and says nothing more than what people have already posted from Twitter.

****, subbuteo is fairly accurate, the researchers are top notch.

It was never in doubt

I signed him on FIFA 12. Gets to 87. You don't need to know anymore.

We might get relegated, we might not. The only thing which is certain is that none of the football geniuses on this forum are able to tell after 2 games. Swansea didn't score a single goal until October last season! 2 games in and the whinging and moaning has already commenced. Wouldn't have expected anything less.

As has been said on here already, too many square pegs in round holes at the moment. We don't quite have the personnel for 433. On the plus side, we created enough chances. Conceding the first goal killed the game
