Saints maybe watertight but his agent and clubs interested in signing him won't be
-
You're right to write him off after one game , particularly as he's only got a scoring record of one in one wearing a saints shirt . Quite frankly he should have hit the ground running and bagged at least a hat-trick .

Saints Won, Watford 1.....Post match meltdown
Lord Duckhunter replied to Ohio Saint's topic in The Saints
If he was a foreigner , we'd have binned him by now . Overhyped because he's home grown . The club have a blind spot because he's an academy product -
Saints Won, Watford 1.....Post match meltdown
Lord Duckhunter replied to Ohio Saint's topic in The Saints
Tadic & VvD were different class than the other starters . How the **** does JWP get anywhere near the side , he just not good enough . Too weak, too polite , what is he actually good at ? He's not even taking corners and free kicks now ( not that he was any good at them ) . He was truly dire today , like a little boy lost . The difference it made when he was swapped for a genuinely decent nipper was there for all to see . -
JWP must be ****ing brilliant in preseason

Saints Transfers Thread - Deadline Day
Lord Duckhunter replied to Saint Charlie's topic in The Saints
Talk about rewriting history . Ranieri was not the ambitious choice , he was a busted flush having been sacked by Greece . This forum would have been in meltdown if we'd replaced Poch with him . -
Saints Transfers Thread - Deadline Day
Lord Duckhunter replied to Saint Charlie's topic in The Saints
I think people are off their heads if they think we'd sign him , full stop . Doesn't appear to match our " fit and proper person " policy . Too much baggage , and overpriced for my liking -
Whose loyal ? The supporters and that's it . Greece won the euros , did that make all their players irreplaceable at club level ? No it didn't . From what I've seen of him I'd swap either of England's right backs with Cedric , yet England lost to Icland . Take the emotion out of it and judge Jose as a 32 year old centre half . He's a good player , but entirely replaceable . Personally , I wouldn't want to now as its late in the day , but it's not the end of the world if he wants out .

As I said in the bits of the post you didn't quote " he was great in the euros ". But history is full of players doing great in particular tournaments . My judgement is based on watching him regularly and he's a good centre half , but he's got a lot of miles in his legs having played many lower league games . Just because he won the euros doesn't suddenly change that any more than it makes Cedric a better full back than Clynne in the English game .

Even if he wants out
-
If you take the emotion out of it, he's very replaceable . Great servant that he's been , he's shown signs of tipping over the top of the hill . I know he had a great Euros and he's " last man standing " from our league one days , but there's no point in getting all soppy and emotional about it . The cold hard business decision would be to line up a replacement and sell. From this summer on it'll be a diminishing return in terms of transfer fees and personally I can't see him getting better . I'm not a soft arse around the captaincy ( VvD or Davo are just as capable ) so it's down to football . In football terms , he's a good player with a lot of miles on his clock , at his peak value . If we can get rid at top dollar and get a younger man in for the same money and wages , I'd do it . Look at Baines, Everton didn't sell at the top of the market and they're getting less and less value for money out of him . He's not John Terry , he'll need replacing or face better competition than Yoshida within 18 months anyway . Don't let the euros confuse the issue , VvD is our number one and there's plenty younger players who could slot in next to him

unless he's a complete see you next Tuesday , he wouldn't post "we march on "if he was leaving

The New Formation Thread : The Puel 4-4-2 Diamond
Lord Duckhunter replied to SuperSAINT's topic in The Saints
I'm not keen on it myself , I know Leicester won the league with 4 in there but personally I prefer 5 in midfield . If you want to play 2 upfront , then go with a back 3 . A 4-3-3 in possession becoming a 4-5-1 out of it would be my choice . I just worry that a 4-4-2 that has a number 10 and therefore only 1 CDM will leave us wide open imo . If he wants to play a 10 , then I'd want a 4-4-1-1 with 2 CDM's . -
Manchester United Away on Aug. 19

Mine came today and I noticed that as well . -
Exactly . These remoaners are so bitter they're too quick to post . They need to calm down a bit and take a deep breath before posting .

Stop confusing him with facts

Teresa May wanted to stay in the EU. What is the point you're trying to make ? That members of the Tory party who voted Leave and members of the Tory party who voted remain , wanted to leave something that had nothing to do with the EU , but aren't doing so now? I hope you've paid a £5 because that's a waste of a third of your posts today if you haven't .

Has anyone got their tickets yet ? -
6 weeks and the main remoaner is complaining that David, Boris & The good Dr haven't updated us yet . What do you want ,weekly updates ? The continued crying, bitterness and whinging makes our victory even sweeter , keep it up please .

Or he's not fit enough to play 90 yet

It's cheap , but that's about it The beer is pretty average , I've had some real dodgy pints . Alex has best beer , but you'll have to pay a lot more

No we didn't . If we did EU nationals wouldn't get child benefit for children living abroad

We didn't have a veto over who could work here or who received our benefits . I guess that's not important in Whitey World
