Saint Fan CaM Posted 5 August, 2009 Share Posted 5 August, 2009 LOL @ all those thinking this would be massive news of several signings. The only surprise is that it took this long to sign a 34yr old RB. Good player though that is another piece in defensive shake-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capel Saint Posted 5 August, 2009 Share Posted 5 August, 2009 A solid signing who will help galvanise what is currently a weak defence. If Jaidi signs today then it will leave Pardew to concentrate on a striker or two if Rasiak and Saga are very intent on still leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakovnetski Posted 5 August, 2009 Share Posted 5 August, 2009 The only hope is that he stays fit for the season as we have precious little cover for him in that position if Lloyd James is to move to midfield. Still a welcome addition of an old head with positional sense in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he improved solidly and will be the ideal backup for Murty as well as covering midfield ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he improved solidly and will be the ideal backup for Murty as well as covering midfield ???? Totally agree that James had a good season there and grew a lot in stature and confidence. Is James a midfielder or RB or just a plug when we have a problem? I saw him more a a maturing midfielder but, hey-ho, that just my take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 5 August, 2009 Share Posted 5 August, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks that James had a pretty good season last year ? I reckon he improved solidly and will be the ideal backup for Murty as well as covering midfield ???? Once he stopped throwing himself into 20 yard sliding tackles through the back of his man and getting booked in practically every game he did ok - he might have more to offer than Wotton alongside Gillett in the middle though, which is probably why Henderson was putting him back in there pre-season.

The9 Posted 5 August, 2009 Share Posted 5 August, 2009 Great news What number will he wear anyone know? 6, 7, 12, 14 and 16 are free, after that its 34-43. If I was a right back with that choice I'd want 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Nelson Posted 5 August, 2009 Share Posted 5 August, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks that James had a pretty good season last year ? I reckon he improved solidly and will be the ideal backup for Murty as well as covering midfield ???? James is definitely not a midfielder, regardless of his background. He waits for the ball to arrive to him rather than goes and meets it. Against Ajax his performance was woeful, not least if you compare it with Gillet and Fish. As a RB he will probably be OK as a back up to Murty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Nelson Posted 5 August, 2009 Share Posted 5 August, 2009 I welcome Murty to Saints. He is a good addition, but it was hardly a great surprise, was it? OS is back to it's old tricks by firstly highlighting the signing as BIG news, and secondly got it's toe curling, stomach acid inducing, teeth grinding, SPIN back on song again. "...Alan Pardew has moved quickly..." When you can describe one of the slowest signings we have ever seen in those terms then you don't respect your readers. The Echo, of course, picked it up and printed the same tosh unedited. It winds me up to be treated like a moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Nelson Posted 5 August, 2009 Share Posted 5 August, 2009 "Calm down dear, it`s only a website":) I think you and several other have got it wrong. It's not "only a website". It's the clubs voice to the supporters and it ought to do better. Since I'm checking other club websites around Europe, I am clear that ours is lagging far behind others. I have not suggested that AP has done anything wrong, but the suggestion that he had been "swift" is daft. Murty was here when AP arrived. There are other things the club no doubt will improve over time as well, such as the catering, but that is not as important as the communication with the fans.
