CB Fry Posted 9 October, 2009 Share Posted 9 October, 2009 Putting Ali Dia in any list really is pretty lazy journalism. Oh, and they've wheeled out Marco Boogers as well. Groundbreaking stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 9 October, 2009 Share Posted 9 October, 2009 Delgado in any 'worst strikers' list is sloppy. Now, most ill judged and injured list on the other hand..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintDonkey Posted 9 October, 2009 Share Posted 9 October, 2009 How do you 'rate' a striker? Ormerod scored 12 goals in 98 league appearences for us, mostly in the Premiership. A strike rate of one in eight would mark him as far worse than many on that list. Yet most Saints fans remember him affectionately and he probably won't make a list of the top 10 worst Southampton strikers - well perhaps not the top 5 anyway What do you think would be the top 10 worst Saints strikers? I'll nominate Uwe Rosler for the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissyboy31 Posted 9 October, 2009 Share Posted 9 October, 2009 Craig Maskell David Speedie Kerry Dixon BWP Off the top of my head, I don't think any of them played for us in the Premier League. Pretty sure Maskell, Speedie and Dixon were pre-PL and BWP only played for us in CCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treggs23 Posted 9 October, 2009 Share Posted 9 October, 2009 Think Dixon and Speedie were first year of prem and Maskell was around in 1994 - scored against Pool on Valentine's day that year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona Posted 9 October, 2009 Share Posted 9 October, 2009 I think their criteria must be biggest wastes of money. There is no way Sheva and Rebrov are in there based on tallent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 9 October, 2009 Share Posted 9 October, 2009 Those two were utter.... They were what we got for Alan Shearer. Dalglish must have been laughing his tits off at us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie Posted 9 October, 2009 Share Posted 9 October, 2009 shed loads of sunderland and Newcastle players in there! Christoper Wreh ended up playing for my local non league team Buckingham Town last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenilworthy Posted 9 October, 2009 Share Posted 9 October, 2009 Gotsmanov didn't get much of a look-in though since Shearer, Rod Wallace, Rideout and MLT were around. He only made a couple of starts and when he did play I thought he actually did quite well. Really he was probably only signed to keep Cherednik company, but he did score against England at Wembley.

Fair point - I wonder if he was on the forgery lark that Cherednik got associated with. Saints players who have scored against England at Wembley - step forward Ron Davies!

I'll nominate Uwe Rosler for the list. It's a difficult one, isn't it? We could easily add Mark Hughes, an internationally-renown striker, but rubbish for us in that position and ended up as a midfielder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
