Its only going to get worse and ignoring things from both sides isnt the answer. We cant even deport a bloke convicted of preaching hatred FFS

I usually give players time, and sometimes I see things in players but for me I have seen very little of young Mayuka except for pace and a decent attitude. Hopefully he will show me the form which made him one of the worlds high potential youngsters

Andy Carroll pulls out of squad.. Lambert in?
Smirking_Saint replied to bowers-sfc's topic in The Saints
Exactly this, he is a huge handfull and has ability. Everyone forgets how he looked for newcastle before Kenny ruined him (as he also did for so many others) Id say 15m was a fair price, little high but its english premium and the scousers looking to recoup -
Carlton Cole 10's on Bet Victor to join us.
Smirking_Saint replied to chocco boxo's topic in The Saints
If they pay enough they can have him, as fir Caroll, he is underrated for anyone except for those that watch the game. 35m was vastly OTT for him, but 15m is reasonable IMO. He is mobile, young and a huge handfull. He certainly wouldnt fit our mould but can certainly see his value. Carlton Cole ? Seriously no thanks. Will be a champ player next year, whether its too or bottom depends on his form. As for Saints ? We need a mobile front man, big, strong and that can lead the line. Lukaku or Bentekeish -
Get Scott Sinclair firing again and he will be a decent signing.... Dependant on price

How did you make all your money then ? Only play with one team 433 Lloris Richards - IF Sagna - IF Skrtl - IF3 Enrique IF Wilshere - IF Sissoko - IF Gerrard Ben Arfa - Torres - Hazard

Hammond a european player ? I dont think so

They really aren't they just wouldnt be as effective without Carroll, he is basically the new Heskey, employed primarily to be a battering ram and causing chaos, you can tell nobody wants to play against him. The way chelsea play I cant see them lending him to WHU anyways, he will go to a team that plays similarish football

We were not the only ones that made a mega profit, I imagine all of the big four did. The price of energy is absolutely horrendous right now. Mainly because fuel prices are skyhigh and as a country we are at max capacity when you look at usage vs generation. EDF is state owned yes, the profit margins are as the company as a whole though. As a whole SSE made around 1.5bn profit and 410m of which was retail. Regardless the only way to attempt to drive prices down is to create a competeyive market, if we go back to state owned supply then the industry will suffer (generation/distribution etc) The fact is we have private companies working in a v heavily regulated industry within which the government ploughs millions into infrastrucure reinforcement and new generation. If the government had better plans to deal with the amount of energy we produce vs use (and deal with transmission losses effectively) then the price of our electric will drop. It also doesnt help that any new generation site tends to be heavily opposed. You cant have everything.

Andy Carroll pulls out of squad.. Lambert in?
Smirking_Saint replied to bowers-sfc's topic in The Saints
Whatever his reason was he hasnt been at his best for 6 weeks. He has a lot of these little episodes when he hasnt been playing great which transpire to him playing through an injury during the period of time he has a dip in form -
What are you on about ? 7, but mainly as I dont think he has been at the same consistant level as Cork, Morgs, Clyne, Shaw and Boruc

He really doesnt atm -
They tried doing it publically, it didnt work which is why we ended up going private in an attempt to make the industry more customer friendly and in an attempt to introduce competition. The industry has become streamlined, the networks are becoming better run and in general people are getting a better service. Now I do agree that perhaps energy should be provided at as little cost as possible it will possibly remove competition and prices will remain mostly the same. You really should be asking questions of the government as to why we produce not enough energy but consume so much

Another slow news day then
-
True, but the way we play lends itself to the need of an all rounder, Lukaku, Benteke etc Im not great with European talent TBH but someone of that ilk. Michu would have been perfect. And in fact we almost replaced Lambert for Michu in the summer but Laudrup got his man.

Smirking_Saint replied to bowers-sfc's topic in The Saints
I dont get where his head is at TBH, when he turns it on he is brilliant but I think he wants to be top dog somewhere, he burst onto the scene and the Ronnie took his thunder. Now its RVP. He doesnt want to play midfield but he is so versatile it probably damages him. I just think he doesnt want it any more -

Smirking_Saint replied to bowers-sfc's topic in The Saints
Welbeck is a good player, I would ignore the haters, he definately excites me when he plays, Raw but with real talent. Sturridge will hopefully kick on now he is at Liverpool, explosive and technical, has a predatory instinct, will have a good year next year. Rooney was never blessed with pace anyway, getting older wont affect him too much and he is only 27 -
Very much my thoughts except I cant see Lambert or J Rod being capable for the whole season, J Rod isnt ready yet and Id rather see someone more mobile than Rickie.

Smirking_Saint replied to bowers-sfc's topic in The Saints
Dont necessarily mind Cleverley being in there but yeah, for me Clyne and Cork should have been there instead of Rodwell and Johnson. (Though with more games I see Rodwell being a V good player) -

Rooney, Sturridge and Welbeck ? All good players with potential -
What is yours ? Ill have a trawl through, I dont mean to trample anyones ideas BTW. Everyone is entitled to believe, in fact I think faith can be important. Its just not a concept that I can believe, perhaps one day Ill have to admit I was wrong. Just the fact that I think more from a scientific POV these days its hard to concieve that godcan be real.

Who likes a rumour or two? Here you go...
Smirking_Saint replied to Crab Lungs's topic in The Saints
Well I appreciate the info Crabby, whether it was known before or not. Shame we cant share info on here without heroes going on and on. A PM would be nice next time bud -
Well true Scotty me ol mucker, but still my point remains. Our lack of knowledge in this area is due to our current scientific inability to explain it. Quite how this opens the door to a theory that a higher being created everything billions of years ago and has then gone on to join the dole Ill never know

Smirking_Saint replied to bowers-sfc's topic in The Saints
You are talking about the striker thats looked pretty abject apart from one goal in the last X games ? Maybe Lambert is the next choice, but our future is around sturridge, welbeck, walcott and rooney. (And possibly carroll)
