saintwarwick Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1692905,00.html As it says on the can. I hope we can keep him for the new season, can easily score 20+ goals and the sort of poacher we will need in this league. Would like to keep Saga as well but can't see him staying.

OldNick Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 Oh s###. There is another big lump to go back on the wage bill. I doubt that is what the club needs at present.Nobody will come in for him until the last moment and so we will have to carry his wages for a couple of months.

DutchSaint Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 he will probably have a rupert contract which means he gets less wage if relegated. So maybe we can afford him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
once_bitterne Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 He was given Prem level wages when he signed. The last thing we want is his wages back on the books. There's no way we can afford to pay him on L1 revenues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedAndWhite91 Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 With Lynam stating the client in the Pinnacle bid is worth 'hundreds of millions' we should be alright like SaintRobbie said, but it's whether or not people like Rasiak and Saga want to stay and play in League One. It's my guess they will be wanting to play Championship at least because they are involved in the Poland squad and they will be pushing for World Cup call ups next year. Only time can tell now I guess.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was making a good point. Rasiak was signed on very high wages when we got him in our first season in the CCC. Far too high for a L1 to support. Given that Rasiak's stock has fallen in the interviening time period it would be very likely that no CCC club would want to pay him what we are. In which case no wonder he is turning up with a smile on his face for pre-season fitness assessment. He may well turn into our very own Winston Bogarde. Given that we were a freshly relegated Prem team when we signed Rasiak I would assume there is not a chance in hell that a clause in his contract being added to cover the eventuality of relegation to L1.

St Marco Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 Only nickh could make having a 20+ a season goal scorer in your side look bad while having a nipper barely scrapping 10 from 46 games look good Seriously though he wont be staying. He is a proven striker with an almost 1 goal every 2 games ratio. He scored 8 goals from 12 starts last season at Watford, if he did not get injured he probably would of got more. Someone will come in for him its just a question of how much. If however our new owners have cash to spend and can get his wages down, maybe performance bonus' rather then a massive weekly wage then he could be vital for our push back to ccc. Leicester had big holding type strikers like Howard etc. We have nobody in that mould here. So Rasiak could fit in well. One thing is for sure it matters not how talented the players are, what matters is they will try in every game for the cause, have pride in wearing the shirt. In my view the fans have been somewhat out of order with Rasiak. We signed him at a time when we were meant to be going back to the prem league. It is not his fault he is on his contract. If someone came to you and said right we want you to work the same hours but for half the pay i doubt you would happily accept that. He is a good footballer with a good record but our club is probably now not in a position to attract players of his caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 I'm a bit confused by these Saga and Rasiak stories which keep appearing on the OS. I'm trying to figure out the club's motivation for this and can't come up with anything other than they are reporting the news. I guess after last summer's abysmal treatment of the senior players, I was expecting headlines like, "Euell cannot be arsed", "Wright-Phillips born in Pompey", and "Saga cruel to baby animals" to try and discredit them. It would be great if we got taken over by someone with the collateral to keep these guys. I also think we could comfortably afford them without much investment, if we tell Euell and BWP to take a hike and Davis leaves/takes a wage cut.

Saint_clark Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 10 in 25 games (many as a sub) If he had played in 50, like DMG, then in theory... A very good record for a player who was used as a target man for a long ball game. If you use him properly, with wingers who can cross and centre mids who can pick out a through ball, then he will score more. As was proved when he had Bale/Skacel/Belmadi whipping balls in and Surman/Guthrie picking out the passes during 06/07. AND let us not forget that he was dropped for pretty much the whole of the second half of that season, for some bizarre reason which Burley never fully explained.

Aaaaagh. Pleas let's not go down the comparing DMG to Rasiak alley. They're like chalk and cheese, two completely different players. I'm not about to get into a debate about who we should keep, who is worth more etc. because it will jsut go round in circle. MLG - DMG did well go get into so many shooting situations last season, regardless of what possition he was playing. However a shot is a shot, and his conversion rate was poor. He needs to improve that is he is to become a decent striker. Nick - Yes DMG is younger and will likely get better whilst Rasiak gets worse. However Rasiak is still an exceptionally good player at this level. He may get less mobile, but he will still be an excellent poacher for 5 maybe 10 years. My point wasn't that Rasiak was better, just that he could have scored many goals in our side last season. You questioned whether he could get 20, I was just pointing out that he could. FWIW I think they could form a decent partnership next season. In Rasiak, Saga, DMG and Lallana we have 4 decent strikers already, but we NEED to play 4-4-2 with a couple of decent wingers providing service. Those 4 players, if they stay MUST play as out and out strikers not winger-come-supporting striker in the hole types who just drift around in no-man's land not doing anything.

niceandfriendly Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 It would be unbelievable if we could keep Rasiak for League 1 - he's been our best striker over the last few years and that was when we were in the CCC. In League 1 he'd take the p*ss. Can't quite see it though as he must surely want to play in a higher league, which then begs the question as to why the OS are bothering with these types of stories about Ras and Saga?

VectisSaint Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 Notice that true to form the OS reports several items under one heading but fails to link the items together: (1) Rasiak returns (2) Players given fitness targets (3) Did Rasiak meet the requirement? (I would be shocked if he did, unless the target was set based on that of a stunned slug) Of course Rasiak would be an asset of sorts in Division 3, but the only true reason for reports about rasiak is to put him in the shop window for interested parties.

No wonder we as a nation is so heavily burdened with debt. He scored 8 goals from 12 starts last season. Acording to http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/Shooting/0,,10794~200810400~7,00.html He had in the league 27 shots on target and 19 shots off target. So total of 46 shots. Of his shots 56% were on target. And 17% of those were goals. Another interesting thing is that he assited 4 goals. Now compare to say DMG who had 45 starts and 12 goals. Having 64 shots on target and 54 off target. Meaning of his 118 shots 54% were on target. However that means only 10% of his shots resulted in a goal. If you take away his penalties would make it look a lot worse. So off starts last season Rasiak has a 66% chance to score upon a start. While DMG has a 26% chance to score upon a start. Its those stats that show the actual gap in level of quality really. Next season we will need more then the 12 goals DMG scored this year if we are to go for promotion. Someone like Rasiak would bag a bundle in league 1. But as i said he wont be here next season, and if he is not signed by a club will be out on loan. I cannot see him wanting to play in division 3 sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(metaphorically) DMG - 127 shots - 13 goals Rasiak - 45 shots - 10 goals While I don't argue that Rasiak is clearly a different class of player from McGoldrick, I'd also say that McGoldrick's style and position tends to leave him further from goal and thus much less likely to score from shots he does have. Besides, Rasiak can't even kick a ball more than 18 yards and toe-punts everything beyond 12, so he simply doesn't shoot unless he's close in and though he gets a good return from that, that in itself limits the team's chances to score from some situations. All that said, if we can afford him we should keep him. As few if any of us have an idea what the budget is, it's really a pointless discussion. Holmes to Rasiak in the box would score us about three times the goals that Holmes to McGoldrick would though, IMHO. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone like Rasiak would bag a bundle in league 1. But as i said he wont be here next season, and if he is not signed by a club will be out on loan. I cannot see him wanting to play in division 3 sadly. None of those stats mean anything if you consider McGoldrick's much deeper starting position for about half of his games. And mediocre though he is, McG has already had a half decent return in League One even playing for tripe like Bournemouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
