St.Patrik Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 And no news on Saints Twitter about this signing. On OS first like they promised : ) Now lets see who the midfielder is please.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 is he better than Patterson? at the moment, yes. Barnard is a proven player at this level (has scored double figures at this level for the past 2 years) and is at a good age. Patto may turn into that - but who knows? he's not quite ready for us. He's still got alot to prove to be compared with barnard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Not sure he was worth the money and Paterson in the long run. He doesn't have the pace we so desperately need either. Still in the short term he can play tomorrow (I think) - and he will be an alternative to playing Lambert every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Looking at his stats on Wiki, he hardly ever played a first team game for his previous sides (mainly loans from spurs). What suddenley made him prolific at Southend? Anyway, good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianoneils slidingtackle Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Get in, might even add a few ticket sales for tomorrows game, a clear sign of intention from Saints management over the last couple of weeks of where we want to be..

Thedelldays Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 nice one.. what sort of striker is he..? more of a big player or a nippy one..? with antonio and waigo we already have options to have real pace at the top of the formation..

Tom28 Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Does the 2 and a half year deal suggest that Pardew thinks he can do a job for us in this league, and possibly in the Championship, but doesn't have the quality to step up to Premiership level? As far as I'm concerned thats fine - if we got him for £175k (plus Patterson), its a punt worth taking. Good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Ringwood Saint Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Do you think there will be some strings to the Patterson deal ? Ie first dibs if he turns into the complete striker in the next couple of years, or a large sell on ?? Either way looks good business for the play off push....Just that dominating center mid to go then !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 if we got him for £175k (plus Patterson), its a punt worth taking. Southend OS says Paterson was a separate deal, so not a part exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Southend OS says Paterson was a separate deal, so not a part exchange. I know but it must have been tied in somehow otherwise why didn't we simply loan him to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Here's the a link that proves he's not cuptied, anyway : http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/8340964.stm Didn't play as Southend lost 3-0 to Gillingham in FA Cup Round 1.

saints_is_the_south Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Very good signing. Should mean Lambert can get a much needed rest. We now have a very very good looking squad. If we can a midfielder in, Stock or Danns perhaps & move a few players on now it will be a perfect transfer window. If we can get rid of Lancashire, Molyneux, Gillett, Pulis & Saga our squad will look something like this: GK: Davis, Bart, Forecast RB: Murty, Ostemobor LB: Harding, Mills CB: Fonte, Jaidi, Seaborne, Perry, Thomas RM: Antonio, Papa LM: Holmes CM: Schneiderlin, Wotton, Hammond, James AM: Lallana ST: Lambert, Barnard, Connolly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 I know but it must have been tied in somehow otherwise why didn't we simply loan him to them? Because with Barnard joining he is a long way from ever starting for Saints. If he was included in the deal the transfer fee would come down. Southend wouldn't bother saying it was a separate deal if it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Good signing. Welcome to the Saints, Lee. This is a good statement of intent from us. We can now rotate between Connolly, Lambert and Barnard, still retaining some decent quality up front and allowing for injuries or suspensions. We just need that midfield playmaker/General and we will just about have the complete set-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 (edited) what number is he..? Would be surprised if he didn't take over Paterson's number which was 17, failing that the lowest available one is 41, which is frankly rrrrrubbish. Hold on, who is/was number 27? Oh yeah, Jamie White. Edited 22 January, 2010 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucks Saint Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 He is about 5 inches shorter and a very different sort of player. So he will start scoring goals for fun straightaway after joining us? Even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
