Saint Fan CaM Posted 3 September, 2009 Share Posted 3 September, 2009 Radio Solent news have said that Papa's permit has come through in time for him to be included in the squad (Jaidi's has not) AND both Mills and Holmes are both fit to play if needed. Anyone else heard that?! If true, this has to be a massive boost for AP and the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow - we may be able to play with width! if that's the case....Mills on the left, Papa on the right - Adam behind lambo (as saga is away) AP...do it!

Saint_Mabes Posted 3 September, 2009 Share Posted 3 September, 2009 Holmes is a left winger so I see no point putting him on the right. I assume he is lacking match fitness so would leave him out of this one, Mills on the other hand should be ok as he played not so long ago. Mellis or preferably Papa Shango on the right for me but apart from that I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 3 September, 2009 Share Posted 3 September, 2009 (edited) Would be a big lift if Papa was even just on the bench. Shame Jaidi's permit hasn't come through though! --------------------------------------------------------- Saints twitter says Jaidi permit is 7-10 days away (so hopefully in time for Charlton away). Papa is a possibility for Saturday but will be touch and go. Edited 3 September, 2009 by Saint Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 3 September, 2009 Share Posted 3 September, 2009 Club have just updated twitter...they're not so sure on Papa yet. (Although may have changed in the last hour) Jaidi's work permit is probably 7 - 10 days away. Papa Waigo is a possibility for Saturday but touch and go. #saintsfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ART Posted 3 September, 2009 Share Posted 3 September, 2009 Jaidi's signing was announced on Tuesday to appease the masses who would have been up in arms had we not signed anyone. It was always going to take another 3 weeks to have him playing. Please recall that we didn't know anything about Papa Waigo till Wednesday, neither did the club, hence the panic of announcing the Jaidi deal. This is the Holy month of Ramadan and Jaidi's permit will surely not appear till it's all over. But what do I know in the face of such higher intelligence of the SCITK's?

S-Clarke Posted 3 September, 2009 Share Posted 3 September, 2009 (edited) Just listened to Pard's on Saints player.... 'pretty much confirmed the OP's post. Papa should be available for sat. and Holmes and Mills are both fully fit and pushing for a place. also made me laugh that Pard's commented that he's sure saints fans had been checking out Papa's dancing on youtubue doesn't sound like he personally knows Papa or how he plays - but he did say that one thing he knows is that he offers genuine pace - and we've lacked that. Said he's come highly recommended and has been told that he could be an unexpected bonus for us. Edited 3 September, 2009 by S-Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 3 September, 2009 Share Posted 3 September, 2009 There is absolutely no way that Lee Holmes should start the match. He was rushed back last season and he just ended up crocked again.

Trouble is, we've been saying that for sometime now about lots of teams haven't we?! It will be no different this weekend - a tough, tough game. We need to score early and convincingly (i.e. not off someones bum) to really stamp a mark. Just hope the midfield is up to the task and there's not too much hoof - that'll make a good game.

SFKA South Woodford Posted 4 September, 2009 Share Posted 4 September, 2009 No doubt - but I still anticipate an anti-climax. Some seem to think we have signed some sort of megastar. I hope they are right. Would be a bonus if he can find the net regularly, but it's equally important that the threat of his pace keeps the opposition defenders deeper in their half, giving Lambert more space to play in, so we should see just how deadly he really is.

Wes Tender Posted 4 September, 2009 Share Posted 4 September, 2009 This is the Holy month of Ramadan and Jaidi's permit will surely not appear till it's all over. But what do I know in the face of such higher intelligence of the SCITK's? Is it the Tunisian Government that issues the work permit? Silly me, I thought that it was the Borders and Imigration authority here in the UK. Of course, it could be that the Civil Service has been infiltrated by large numbers of Muslims as part of some PC initiative, but otherwise the permit should not take long. However, nobody has explained to me why Jaidi hasn't applied for an Indefinite Leave to remain instead, as he has been here over 5 years as I understand it.
