The Banana Factor Posted 15 December, 2009 Share Posted 15 December, 2009 Stupid poll, papa waigo has actually contributed this year despite being very frustrating! Just look at his goals and assissts. Jermaine wright also did a good job for us whereas the others were just truly awful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFrost Posted 15 December, 2009 Share Posted 15 December, 2009 Jermaine Wright was a solid player. I think he wasn't helped by Burley. I could understand his CM role in a kind of "keep it simple, keep possession" role. But RB?? :smt100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeckoSaint Posted 15 December, 2009 Share Posted 15 December, 2009 I reckon you could also add Mikael Nilsson, Andreas Jakobsson & Tommy Hajto to this list. I used to rate Jermaine & Pele in the middle of the park. But those 2 come nowhere near the current midfield combo of Hammond & Schneiderlin. At least Waigo has had a positive start to his Saints career - Over hyped possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 16 December, 2009 Author Share Posted 16 December, 2009 I remember watching him play at St. Mary's; think it must have been a reserve game though. He was utterly, utterly terrible! Laughably bad, in fact. I saw both Jacinto and Arias at St Marys playing reserve matches. I thought Jacinto had promise, but Torpedo had nothing. Jermaine Wright was OK, I suppose, but I couldn't believe how many opposition shots he used to deflect past his own keeper that would have been saved had he not got in the bloody way. I also couldn't believe how ordinary a player Neil McCann was. He seemed to be two seconds behind the match, and if he ever did get a touch, it was a bad one. I think he played OK for Scotland, in comparison. Bradley Wright-Phillips never produced any consistency at all. He seemed to have skill, but he sure didn't have brains. In the end, he was a bit of a waste of space. By comparison, Papa Waigo has skill, pace [too much it often appears] and, I think, a poaching ability which has yet to fully materialise. In the limited amount of times I've seen Papa Waigo, for me he's already a far bigger asset than the other players in the poll. Yet they were all hyped as something special. He's the first one who may turn out be so. Yeah, I could have chosen other players, but I didn't. And it was only meant for fun anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 16 December, 2009 Share Posted 16 December, 2009 Papa does have a touch of class about him, and I rate him more than I rate Antonio. He has that cheeky touch about him that can take the ball away from opponents, and his pace goes without saying. Granted he gets a few offsides, but he also weighs in with a few goals. He'd me my right midfielder of choice in the current team, I thought he was good tonight. Of that list above, which is most peculiar, I would rate Papa as the best in terms of quality, although Wright did give his all for this club in any position that was asked of him.

The9 Posted 16 December, 2009 Share Posted 16 December, 2009 If this is meant to be a list of bad players there are a lot worse than the options above. It doesn't seem to be a list of reserves either. Or a list of poor foreigners. Or a list of unpopular players. So other than being a list of slightly quirky Saints players, what is the point of this again ? Benji hit the nail on the head with Almeida anyway, poor kid had 20 mins of Thierry Henry on his debut, ouch. For the record, Kleber Chala has since won the Copa Libertadores, the South American equivalent of the Champions' League. Didn't get a look in for Saints though... Fernandes, Telfer and Griffit all ahead of him in the depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
