A St Mary's source told the NLP: "The new manager Alan Pardew is on the lookout for a big, no-nonsense centre-half from the Non-League game and, from what he's been told, the boy at Kettering fits the bill perfectly."

saint peach Posted 17 August, 2009 Author Share Posted 17 August, 2009 Why? Possibly because he is looking for players who are both physical and enthusiastic. We need commited players who want to be here. Sounds like he fits the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verbal Posted 17 August, 2009 Share Posted 17 August, 2009 Is he pacy? Because the best way to use his long throws is for him to take them and then scoot round and nod them into the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Londoner Posted 17 August, 2009 Share Posted 17 August, 2009 I saw him a number of times last season through Setanta's coverage of the Blue Square Prem. He's about the size of Wales and just as mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres Posted 17 August, 2009 Share Posted 17 August, 2009 George Boyd, Fitz Hall and Michael Kightly spring to mind And the list of good players picked up from non-league goes on, but I wonder why the "source" would specify that Pardew was looking to sign someone form the non-league game. Seems to me that that bit may have been added to give this rumour greater credence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 17 August, 2009 Share Posted 17 August, 2009 (edited) That is the greatest name in the history of creation. Never mind football. of course if it was creation ...he'd be called Genesis, I suppose..maybe he has a big brother, too ? ....but it's a fantastic name - isn't it ? I think we should sign him - just so as we have him on the squad list. OK - so he can't move as fast as Usain Bolt.. but at 6' 6" ...he'd make the goal 3 feet narrower when he stands on the goal line ...great tactic AP !

I've come to the conclusion that they're being clever and either the new owner has bought his season ticket for £5m or their new players are all playing for free but are being paid a large pro-rated signing on fee.
