I dont know why it should be, the guy has more premiership playing time than most in our squad. He isn't a bad player by any means, ok he may be up and down form wise but when he is on song he is a hell of a decent, tough player.
When was the last time he scored since you mention it ?
The odd goal as you put is are very few and far between......did he score a league goal in 2012 ?
It was and on the evidence of the times I have seen him (all at St Mary's admitted) his distribution has always been very good, especially his throwing.
If he is out for a while I would rather have Clyne at left back and bring Richardson in at right back. To me Richardson is the lesser of the two evils but I'm sure NA wont see it that way :-D
Why not, people on here have been getting carried away after he had one bad game when he hadn't played for God knows how long so wasn't exactly match sharp !!
I always think back to an interview on Radio Solent around last Christmas/New Year with either the club's accountant or some financial guy connected with the club. He said quite clearly that Saints had spent "nowhere near" what they expected to in order to be where they were (top of The Championship) at that time.
That leads me to believe that financially we are more than ok, and as Lighthouse says, if you cannot trust a banker to look after the money you cant trust anyone.
I doubt it. I think all our transfer business will be completed in the last week of January as NC plays hardball with the selling club(s) involved.
Its not a criticism, just what I think will happen.
Hope I'm wrong.
I would really love to hear an answer to that question from anybody who was involved in bringing him to the club.
I would also love to know why he has never really been given a chance. He scared Spurs something stupid when he came on against them and played wide right. Have we seen him wide right since then ? Have we hell.
They are....but they lost at home to WBA who then lost at home to Fulham, and they drew at home to Villa who then beat Liverpool 3-0 who in turn beat QPR 4-0.
Freak result hardly means they will be climbing the table anytime soom !
