trousers Posted 18 February, 2011 Share Posted 18 February, 2011 Saints have signed goalkeeper James Shea on loan from Arsenal following an injury to Bartosz Bialkowski. Shea, 19, has joined for one month and goes straight into the squad for Saturday's trip to Rochdale. The young 'keeper is known for his superb shot-stopping ability, and he has recently signed a contract extension with the Gunners, who rate the youngster highly.

Scummer Posted 18 February, 2011 Share Posted 18 February, 2011 He'll only see action if Kelvin gets injured. Hardly likely to drop our keeper for someone who's only here for a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any footballer going on loan will be hoping for first team experience, but everyone knows that opportunities for keepers are massively restricted. Everyone involved with the deal will know that he is cover for our number 2 and so will only be called upon in an emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 18 February, 2011 Share Posted 18 February, 2011 I see that according to the Echo Saints have loaned Arsenal keeper James Shea. Really a from a newspaper with some sort of journalistic skills you'd expect better. NB: Echo, you cannot loan something which you do not own, you can take it on loan though.

st alex Posted 18 February, 2011 Share Posted 18 February, 2011 Would have thought that Poke would have been our next back up, I hadn't realised that he had even left, just checked and he's at Brighton, anyone if he at least even makes the bench there?

DT Posted 18 February, 2011 Share Posted 18 February, 2011 Was really hoping that this was a replacement for Davis. Hope he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not usually no,Ankergren starts and Brezovan is on the bench. However the latter plays cup games and Poke did get one Cup start JPT maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 18 February, 2011 Share Posted 18 February, 2011 Was really hoping that this was a replacement for Davis. Hope he plays. WTF some kid on loan just out of nappies. If Nigel has any intention of replacing Kelvin, Bart would have been a regular in goal for some time. Seeing as Kelvin is still getting picked on a regular basis I think it's fair to say that Nigel still rates Kelvin. We need cover for an injuried Bart, Forecast ain't upto it so this kid is coming for a month. Replacement for Davis .......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really a from a newspaper with some sort of journalistic skills you'd expect better. NB: Echo, you cannot loan something which you do not own, you can take it on loan though. I prefer the term "borrowed" for that instance. Even when I was a kid about half of my class didn't understand that you loaned something to someone and borrowed it from them.

Smirking_Saint Posted 18 February, 2011 Share Posted 18 February, 2011 you cynic. Perhaps I hope i am wrong, all i will say is Christiano Ronaldo. They will never admit it is a done deal, but i honestly wouldn't be surprised if he moves in the summer to Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to say tho, if I'd been offered a choice between Adam Lallana or AOC staying here, I'd have snapped AL's hand off getting him to sign a 4 year contract.

latter day saint Posted 18 February, 2011 Share Posted 18 February, 2011 after reading this article on the lad, i hope Kelv stays injury free as i dont feel overly confident of a keeper who has 10 put past him in 1 game or is described as small for a keeper! http://arsenalyouth.wordpress.com/2011/02/18/big-test-for-shea-as-he-joins-southampton-on-loan/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whizzpop Posted 19 February, 2011 Share Posted 19 February, 2011 He is their fourth keeper, so going back in time to our prem league days would we have felt comfortable with a keeper to the standard of Scott Bevan, Andrew McNeill, Poke or Darryl Flahavan in goal...i dont think so.
