The 27-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Southampton, is out of contract this summer and could be set for a return to England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tac-tics Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 I completely forgot about that nob. Hardly surprising considering Pulis loves signing ex-saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxfordshire_saint Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 Also linked with Porto, WTF? I know the Portuguese league is sub-standard, but he'd still end up playing Champions League football and that'd just be wrong.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northant Saint Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 I thought he did quite a good job for us when he was here tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_saints Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 Got to be one of the most tactically inept players I've seen play for us. Okay, he was reasonable on the ball but his positioning etc was sh1te!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_stevo Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 better than Molyneaux tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellone Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 Thought he played well under Pearson. he's surley worth merit for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 Not as bad as some are making him out to be on here. Having said that, he's not that great either and the prospect of him playing in the Champions League with Porto is a strange one. I can't even see him having enough quality to hold down a regular spot in Stoke's team, yet alone playing against some of Europe's best teams.

Saint_clark Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 Was awesome under Pearson, one of our best performers. I admit he was f*cking shocking before that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyer Posted 25 July, 2009 Share Posted 25 July, 2009 Hes on trial at QPR now, a bit of a step down from the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 25 July, 2009 Share Posted 25 July, 2009 I completely forgot about that nob. Hardly surprising considering Pulis loves signing ex-saints. Can't we give Anthony Pulis a short run in the team so that his old man buys him back as well ? Oh forgot.He's perpetually injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 25 July, 2009 Share Posted 25 July, 2009 Got to be one of the most tactically inept players I've seen play for us. Okay, he was reasonable on the ball but his positioning etc was sh1te!!I think this statement covers 100% of the team, at most times during last season. DONT YOU THINK! :smt078 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 25 July, 2009 Share Posted 25 July, 2009 Took a while to settle in, but was actually very good later on when we had a proper coach/manager in charge. We should have kept him last season was one of the ones we let go unjustly in my opinion, but then he wasn't Dutch or just out of school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Posted 25 July, 2009 Share Posted 25 July, 2009 Think Vignal was perhaps the best player in the second half of the season, along with John. Positionally he was pretty poor, but he was a commited no-nonsense defender and he took a mean penalty. If I had to list my top 10 highlights of that season, Vignal would feature on more than one occasion, including the number 1 spot. His late penalty right in front of me at my first ever away game in Glanford Park. Not Prem class IMO, but good luck to him. I think his initial poor form owed more to Burley's tactics and playing behind Euell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dellgirl Posted 25 July, 2009 Share Posted 25 July, 2009 I thought under Pearson he played some quality football and was pretty impressed that he played with a broken arm as we were so short of decent players and didn't whinge about it I wish him luck wherever he goes.
