Emmanuel Mayuka - Officially Signed on OS - Work Permit Confirmed
Smirking_Saint replied to S-Clarke's topic in The Saints
We need pace, real pace, with a degree of what to actually do with the ball when we get there, this boy may be a great signing if true Lambert, Rodriguez and Muyaku our options, great bit of business if true -
Who will be our star player this season

In all honesty I can see it being either Adam if he adapts to a central role, Clyne or a new signing, CB -

Guly -
Because Norm we dont have the players on the bench to make an impact in the prem, we seriously lack pace going forward, rodriguez and sharp are really both out n out strikers, Rodriguez has a more to his game though. If the 433 set up doesnt work than we havent the players to do anything else. It was obv sat that Martinez had done his homework, he let Jos and Fonte keep the ball as long as they wanted but as soon as the ball went to the full backs they were closed down. Thus stopping us playing out from defence. Not too worried at the moment but the fact that we are primarily a passing side and have managed less than 40% of possession in last two games worries me.

We play GK RB CB CB LB ........DMF ....CM......CM AMF..............AMF .............CF

Exactly this Which is what Adkins plays with a 433 during the attacking phase and 451 during the defensive. 442 is too outdated TBH My point was I wouldnt want Ramirez in the centre of a 5 man midfield as you would always play 1 DMF but the other 2 CMs would need to have a defensive discipline too, Lallana and Ramirez wouldnt give you enough discipline IMO We will play with Morgs, Davis and Lallana wherever poss this season

Agreed, but these guys earn more than they will ever need, the wages are simply stunning in many cases and bare in mind that their reported weekly wage is AFTER tax. For me yes, I would want to earn good money but equally would want to make my mark and be tge best I can be. I cant see how sitting on a bench somewhere would achieve this. Its different if your going to still be playing, for instance Kaka to real being questioned if his move was money oriented as it probably mainly was, but to earn money and not even playing ? No wouldnt be for me that
-
Truelly shocked at the positivity TBH
-
Ramirez probably wont play alongside lallana in the centre IMO We struggle keeping the ball as it is without 2 out of our 3 midfielders being primarily AMFs
-
Downing is better than the stick he gets tbh A massive transfer fee and a poor manager in Kenny unfortunately have killed him, buy him ? No loan him ? Yes As per Sinclair, I see city as a poor move for him, he wont play much, but players move for mOney not sense, no chance of saints getting hom this year though.

You do realise thats not how it works at any club... Ever dont you ? Of course we would all like it all to ve sorted early, I personally believe the TW should end before the season starts, but it doesnt. Also I would rather wait until friday and get the signings we actually want then sign some radh signings akin to Jacobsson and Callum f*cking Davenport and ensure our departure back to the NPC even quicker. If you actually waited until Sat and we had not the required personel and THEN berated and moaned then who could argue with you ? The fact you dont and the way you post suggests to me that you only post for a reaction, this annoys me more than anything as I get infractions etc for the most pathetic of things, and Mods moan about threads going of topic but what is the most common reason for that I wonder ?

I got a warning for a fruit based gag... Maybe I am Dune ? Btw I not actually Dune

If we ever signed Kevin Kilbane, even in his prime then I would defect and support Fulham or someone. How he ever was a footballer, not to mention an international is mental.
-
Is he really 27 ? Come find me on page 127 anyways, ill me in the muppet show

This Turn up, wedgie the ex bully, bogwash the cool kids and spread some viscious gossip to do with genital infections about the it girls...... Done

This I know sh!t b!tches

This basically

There is another clause BTW tgat states even if the player does not play in 75% of his int countries games he can be granted one because he would improve the PL or something like that. This of course is aslong as he has not qualified for an EU passport which obv I have no idea if he has or has not, however spunking 20 mil on a young player tgats never going to ever play for you seems to only happen on Football Manager.
-
Billy is not good enough for the PL IMO Would happily be proven wrong though
-
I dont think thats quite the point he was making, but can see how it looked that way Fwiw, I dont either
-
Another one... I noticed a player taking far too long on theball against city, that was young adam, some tomes his fault, other times it depends what the movement is like around him. Difference is I see his merits to the team, as I do with Guly, players are going to make mistakes, course they will, at the moment we have no one better.

They would never use a nuclear ban, its far too risque, much more likely to use the dirtier chemical thread deletion warfare. It effects more posters that one.
