chrisobee Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 Saw a few days ago he wanted a move and thought he'd be a very good signing. If Saints can land him and Hants sign Kabir Ali I'll be well pleased ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 Sounds great; seems to be a striker in between the attributes of Lambert and Connolly. Gives us some real options up front now, and should take a bit of the burden away from Lambert. And for £200,000 (plus Pogo I guess), he's pretty cheap.

Deppo Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 Would be a good coup to get a Leeds target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 Not cup tied as well so if we can get him in tomorrow would be a bonus. All we would need now imo is a proven attacking midfielder who can create stuff from the centre of the pitch. Then i think we would be well on our way to a very good team.

VectisSaint Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 He wouldn't. Why not? Connolly has, and David Healy is reportedly keen to rejoin Leeds. If the money is reasonable many players will play at whatever level that money takes them, and many see Saints (or Leeds) as a decent place to go at present. Ask Fonte about dropping down as well, doesn't seem to have any qualms about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Fonte about dropping down as well, doesn't seem to have any qualms about it. Connolly was released through injury and despite the success of the signing it was a gamble at the time. Healy isn't getting a game at Sunderland and would be rejoining a former club who will only be one league down from his former level within 5 months. Fonte was sold by a club desperate for cash who are only one league above us and seemingly going nowhere. Scotland is playing regularly for Wigan in the Premiership, has only just joined them and is working hard to succeed there on no doubt very high wages. He is also working for a manager who has mentored him up from the level we are currently at. We wouldn't be able to offer him more money or more prestige. It wouldn't make sense for him to drop down.

Toadhall Saint Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 http://www.shrimperzone.com/vb/showthread.php?t=57679 Another discussion on the same Southend website I posted earlier, which seems to indicate he's on his way to us. Some mixed emotions on there - very understandable IMHO. But they seem very resigned to the fact he's going. I'm seriously hoping that Patterson is only going on loan there - think we'll be shooting ourselves in the foot if we let him go permanently - lets be honest, how long has Connolly got left? Probably the amount of time it would take to get rid of Patterson's rough edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissyboy31 Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 Yup happy with a loan but permanent.......... I think he could become a good player but it depends on whether AP sees him ever being an 'above L1 level' player? We are buying players for this league, the one above and some possibly even higher. The question is, will Pato be good enough for that journey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for providing a potted history of each of the players mentioned, I am so thankful to learn such information. Doesn't change what I said in response to your original groundless remark, money talks and players (most) will go where the money is. If Mr Scotland is different then good luck to him, but I bet if we offered him the right deal he would be tempted. Wigan don't pay big money, I agree we probably wouldn't land Gerrard (well Steven anyway) but there are run of the mill prem players who would still be prepared to drop down to further their careers. And who's to say we will not be only one level down within 5 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st alex Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 Would be a little disapointed if we got rid of Paterson to bring in Barnard, as I always thought he looked alright and would develop into a useful player, although if Pardew's not going to play him then he may as well go. But could become a reversal of the Davis - Beattie deal, where they end up with a top player as Barnard falls into the reserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
