can be interpreted as you wish, but I was.. interested /amazed ..to see some stats. on the FA site. Saints are one of the top 3 - for shots on goal, and McGoldrick has had more shots than anyone else in the CCC. (shock, horror)...but only 7 goals to date. I can't figure out how this works - unless they are last seasons figs. ??? but there they are for all to see. Certainly he's had a lot of shots wide, and some saved, BUT can that be real.... Comments anyone ?.

1.90 is around 6'1½ ..to be precise, and at 81 kg. he's not overweight either. he seems to have been playing regularly -even andd even got a few goals. if it wasn't top level stuff and one assumes that his Dutch wages weren't too high either. Let's hope he gives some stability to the back line.

I agree with that adrians.. The largest part of our "debt" is obviously the stadium, but if thats anything like my mortgage it's spread out over 10-20 years, and isn't a debt that needs to be paid off this year. It doesn't seem PC to say anything positive about Rupert Lowe, but it's fairly obvious that a lot of stupid dealing was done when he was " in exile ". I can accept that the Rasiak deal was made in Lowes first term, but GR was on enormous wages at Spurs having been bought for £10 million, so 12K would seem a good deal -if thats the case. Wright-Phillips transfer fee was part paid by the Coca Cola prize and his wages at Man City must have been pretty high, too. Most of the other deals seem to have been made after Lowe was " deposed " and so the second Board had responsibility for deals made in that time, and I agree with others that we don't seem to have got value for money from those deals ; Thomas and Euell in particular. Whether this a PR spin, or not it's obviously borne out by Echo facts. I'm not saying that Lowe hasn't made some mistakes, but there are other facts that he has no control over, namely contracts like Thomas, Rasiak and Euells which take valuable money away from the club at a time when we are almost bankrupt.
