Smirking_Saint

That just makes it worse then, you should've stuck with 12

TBH his posting style points to him being about 12 so dont be too hard on him

How about a massive picture of clattenburg wity the words He thinks you've changed, we think your a **** Maybe more subtle

This Some of the things posted however are completely mindless, unfortunately Ive lost all respect for Adam however he doesnt deserve people writing crap such as hoping for him to break legs or die, thats disgusting. He has however tainted his saintly image, I get him leaving completely. But the fact he kisses the badge, signs a five year deal and pledges his future barely a year ago and then to be found forcing a move, signing another shirt and saying things like he has always wished to play for them is frankly insulting to me as a Saint. Surely we deserve more respect. Im not getting it to the history of whether he has tried to get a move before etc or the news he wouldnt play certain positions as its frankly speculation however his events upon leaving mean a lad that could easily have remained a legend has shot himself in the foot. A page in the echo doesnt cut it, actions speak louder than words and his actions unfortunately show he wasnt very interested in remaining a saint or anything other then building his bank balance He wouldnt even hand in a transfer request

What are you on about ?

You are the expert on the subject

The fact that Shaw and Lambert got decent send offs and adam got **** all says it all buddy. Lines Read Lines

Id be inclined to file under bull****e

You really are a massive ****

Thats not something im particularly worried about in a DM tbh

Glasgow, you'll always be a prize cock

I think he is vastly overated, will be expensive and wouldnt suit the system personally

Please god not hernandez

Ahh, thought this was a tour de france fitties thread.... Boooooo

Here we go again......

Shame she has a face like a kicked in pasty

Is this facts now ?

Pretty much this, astounding that many are asking for a complete overhaul in what was, as you say, fundamentally an excellent way of playing. It was obvious that J Rod was used as our furthest forward striker and often ghosted in from wide positions, a tactic used more and more these days as CBs essentially can be dragged out of position by a deeper lying striker and the 'wide forward' is able to get in behind, usually only looked after by what are usually attack minded FBs. The problem was always the striker, and it was last season too, many said if we have to rely on Lambert there for a season we would struggle and I stick with that. Its not his ability but the fact it isnt his game. Another reason that parking the bus against us was due to what appeared to be a risk averse strategy, the priority was possession, now, it was needed a little as high pressing is tiring, so the idea is to reduce the tempo and thus take a breather but too often we camped on the 18 yard box waiting for a run in behind which was never going to happen. This year Id like to see much of the same but with a little more freedom of expression and a striker, perhaps even a wide man too thats a bit more mobile. Koeman may have other ideas, but realistically we wont venture too far from what we have seen the past 3 years IMO

Well no, not really they didnt, some peak players but no real world class players, except for the odd mercenary

We could always see if Blackburn will swap for Rhodes ? Rhodes and sharp upfront.... Mouthwatering

Exactly. We tried a bit of counter-attacking, early in Adkins reign, it failed really. The way we play is excellent, I really dont want to move from that and Im surprised anyone else does. The only realy differences from Poch would be to take a few more chances, effectively under MoPo it was a risk free strategy, keep the ball and probe. If we have possession around the oppositions box Id much rather have a few pops or try a few more through balls

Im hoping we dont change much except to add a striker thats able to provide much needed mobility.

Of all our talent, Rickie, Lallana and Shaw included, my personal opinion is that he would be our biggest loss, the real jewel in our crown

Prat

Ummm, only in mobility
