Me ?? Or the fake S_S ??

What about Nile Ranger on loan from Newcastle ??

Not really jumping up and down, but if it helps us out i am happy enough. We've been through the storm.

Looks like your top goalkeeper is off then, that will weaken you !! http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_6279806,00.html

Expectant

I agree with this Problem is i find myself looking at the team and looking at the result and thinking that we must have underperformed, however i keep myself realistic by reminding myself that if we HAD one 8-0 or something humbling and rediculous i would be saying to myself that it was only pre-season and TBF it's not really a judge of anything. The only thing that is important in these friendlies is for AP to find the best team for Plymouth, getting the players to a fit level without picking up any injuries that could affect the season, at the moment i am pretty happy with things, richardson aside. I am confident that AP has identified the areas that need addressing and that we will have the players soon.

Imagine if the FL looked at them and said, no you are cheating, then made them play with 10 players That would be funny

bag

Don't get me wrong, i am not anti pardew mate, i am not negative, today was pre-season, just a fitness and form exercise. I am however able to look at things objectively and speak what is my opinion, if that makes me an anti-pardew mong then so be it. I just don't get caught up with the wrist slitters or the happy clappies.

He is not a sh*te manager and TBH i think Wotte's mum would have little excuse not to get us promoted this year. AP is not as godly as everyone thinks however, ATM we play pretty one dimensional and he doesn't seem able to change it from a long ball game, even though we seem to have the players to actually PLAY football.

Lee Holmes has absolutely zero pace and sugar legs.

Touche I normally hate Pedants, just remember teh saying.

Only if Hardcore, whats your online name ?? Staff_saints ?

True, but he was involved in the club, we...........as a club deserved it, the same as any club that goes into admin deserves -10, as for Lowe, his ego was too big and he thought he would get away with it.... the tw*t

More importantly, does he know Skacel ?? Can he speed up negotiations ?

And garbage

That IMO is the sort of signing we should be looking at for our 4th striker, not automatically him but a young up and coming player that may wish to progress his career at an upwardly mobile club (hopefully) we have a good set up, money, stability and a sound future ATM in that respect i would imagine we would be a good side for youngsters such as him to learn his trade.

Fair point, i would concede that, Puncheon may sting you next season mind, he does f*ck all and then pops up from nowhere, Jaidi is a monster at the back, Davis is one of the best shot stoppers i have seen in the last 3 years easily, but that first season he was with us was embarassing. Dickson may end up being a real star, Hammond works f*cking hard but i don't think technically he is all that, breaks the play up well though. Wotton..........well........ he is a footballing god.

Dickson is unknown in my eyes ATM but comes highly rated, so i will just have to wait and see. I would have Puncheon over your wide men excluding Tudgay, he was 2nd highest assisting at the club last season after half a season and can turn a game at times. Barnard is a hard working little b*stard and has a good eye for goal, he scored 20+ last season with many coming from a club that created very little. I would rather Barnard than any of your strikers excluding and on form Morrison.

I would love to see Austin in a Saints shirt. But then again, Beattie had about 1 good season when paired with the industrious BO and everyone creams their pants over him.

Looks better than i thought TBF, that said, harding is fantastic at this level.

Plus i read a little while back that a few top clubs actually half use FM ratings as an estimate because they are formulated by researchers that watch the said players week in week out.

Who ?? Puncheon, Richardson who were in team of the year ? Barnard who was one of the top scorers ? Dickson who as wanted by championship teams and comes highly rated ? Or Fonte ? I don't even need to comment on his pure class.

I don't think he is much all that TBF, never really cut it at Liverpool and never set the world alight at Preston, he will probably be a good player at this level however, but nothing i would write home about, i am confident Lambert and Barnard with connolly on the bench is a better threat than Mellor and Morrison (who may or may not find form). As for Heffernan i have never heard of him, unless he is related to Doug from Queens. I quickly looked him up and he is a somewhat uninspiring signing.
