As it says really. If the deal is dead and no appeal can/will be made, who will we go for now. We need someone in his mould, a big bugger that can pocket strikers and is good in the air.

 

Who?!

 

If AP hasn't got a back up ready to sign up I would be gobsmacked! If Thomas isn't fit god help us...

I mentioned him on the HCDAJFU a few weeks ago. Josh Thompson, 18 years old and 6"4 and interesting Premiership clubs. They unlike us won't be able to offer first team football.

 

This is exactly the sort of player we should be busting a gut to sign IMO.

 

£250,000 is the rumoured price.

They however,unlike us will be able to pay a ridiculous salary to more than compensate for sitting on his arse without making the first team.

 

The best we might hope for is a loan after Sir Alex or whoever has signed him.

Josh Thompson for anything south of £500K would be a very good call indeed, Josh Thompson and a work permit for Jaidi would give us an awesome central defence.

 

Thompson would certainly frighten the opposition, he has the appearance of a giant vampire bat!

When did big muthas who would merrily rape you in a prison shower become part of the job spec for Saints CBs?!

Mathias Doumbe is available from Plymouth. He's been offered a contract by Millwall but has yet to sign. He would not need a work permit.

If we were serious about buying the best emerging talent then I'm sure we could pay him the sort of wage that migth shift him. The key though is to pay the likes of Thompson the same wage as someoen coming down the ladder like Jardi. That is a very brave move but if you buy the right talent you will get the results.

 

I keep coming back to Boyd signing for Perborough, he was a record transfer from the non leagues and therefore a considerable gamble. That vision Ferguie had has helped get the posh a double promotion.

 

If we go that route and compliment it by one or two best in your own league signings like

Chris Taylor at Oldham and pretty quickly we will find ourselves moving in the right direction.

 

Don't get me wrong I am not against signings CCC cast offs like Jardi and Murty, but there is nmore than enough emerging talent in the lower leagues and despite going down a league I still don't see us tapping into this.

Ive seen him play several times for Plymouth, has lost his way recently with Siep and Timar playing well. This would be a very good move for Saints.

Completely agree, though I guess part of the problem has been the sorry state of the scouting network. In the absence of decent infrastructure, we're just that much more dependent on established players since you know what you're getting and this keeps the risk down, though we're unlikely to discover any gems. Still, without that infrastructure, its more likely that a gamble will be ill-informed and so fail - as we consistently showed last year. Hopefully things will change with murdoch.

No to Sh!ttu, as someone has stated, he will cost £2m and is being courted by Prem/CCC teams, he will not come to us.

 

Same with Sol, there is no chance we could afford his wages.

 

Sodje is a good shout, as is JPS and Fortune.

 

Dibden, how old is Antwi? What made you suggest him?

 

Early 20's. Know someone who does some work with Liverpool youth and said he's pretty good. Big lad too.

 

Screw that, looks like he's gone to some Turkish club.

The authorities are trying to make us waive our right to appeal, hear AP is going to walk away...

 

The League have however stated that Jaidi's availability to play for us and the work permit issue are inextricably linked.

Well, i am fit finally (by fit i mean injury free) could half run, run out of puff and then begin to jog again for a good 45 minutes. And due to the chunk that has deposited itself around my waist over the past few months i don't think i'll be playing up front for a while.
