dannysfc Posted 14 March, 2011 Share Posted 14 March, 2011 (edited) Have just watched the last 10-15 minutes of the Norwich v Bristol City game and the one and only Andrew (Drew!) Surman was playing and he scored one of the goals in Norwich's 3-1 win and I know that we've moved on and that but I still have a thing for him n I am gutted that he isn't here anymore and would be Good if he came back to watch a Saints game or something as that'd be Good but we'l see!?! Just thought i'd share this with you and see what your thoughts are!?! Thanks! COYR !! Edited 14 March, 2011 by dannysfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thedelldays Posted 14 March, 2011 Share Posted 14 March, 2011 Which was proved right at wolves wasn't it? At least for the time being. He hasn't reached the performance levels of his best games with saints. Still the same league we were in with him. Nothing against him especially, just found it frustrating he took all the set pieces when he was so poor at them. well, thats drew on his way to being a good prem player (like baird is now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 14 March, 2011 Share Posted 14 March, 2011 I have a differing opinion from some of you on here then. Surman was immense all night. His workrate was tremendous and he rarely gave the ball away. To the untrained eye, that might not seem spectacular but believe me he's performing an important part in a well-oiled machine. What I can stand is people who think just because someone does a few pointless flicks and tricks with no end product then that makes them good players. I refer to them as "football thickos", of which a number of my friends are. (btw, not calling anyone a football thicko on this thread, just using an example of something that irritates me). Surman's retention of the ball and his passing was superb and complimented his and team's work ethic superbly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colbury Posted 14 March, 2011 Share Posted 14 March, 2011 Yeah a player who's performing in a team currently in the top 2 in the championship is nowhere near good enough for Saints :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Saint Posted 14 March, 2011 Share Posted 14 March, 2011 Lambert (Norwich Manager) rated him so much he followed Drew when he was on honeymoon, spoke to him and signed him up. When Drew was injured the first time he was brought straight back into the team but was injured again against Leeds. As soon as he was fit again he was back in the team. He is one of Norwich City's highest paid players. He still has a love for Saints but happy at Norwich. If they get into the Premier I predict he will still be a regular choice in midfield. Shame we had to sell him when in Administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame we had to sell him when in Administration. Pass on my best regards, so glad he is doing so well. Many of us appreciated his performances in a saints shirt and the fact that he perhaps was forced out when we needed the money the most (although i am not completely niave, he was paid ) I have always regarded him as one of the better, more solid players in the Championship, like Crab Lungs posted earlier there are far too many sofa coaches that believe the best players only score goals and run at players 24/7. Surman however was pretty consistant, his passing, tackling, general play were never outstanding but for me always good. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he will ever be a world beater (and i don't think he does either, no disrespect meant either) but I can see him playing at a decent level, and yes i can't see why he couldn't do a decent job in the premiership.

I think he left us a year too early and going to Wolvs didn't do him any favours. Another season with us and I am sure he would have developed into a much better player than he was at Wolves.

Charlie Wayman Posted 15 March, 2011 Share Posted 15 March, 2011 Thought he was average to be honest. Not near lallana standards and IMO not the poise to play CM like Morgan or the pace and threat of chamberlain. Tidy player with a nice touch but honestly don't see how he'd fit in here even if he was ours. Probably not by your reckoning but good enough for the Premier League evidently as that's where he'll be playing next year whereas Adam won't be.

VectisSaint Posted 15 March, 2011 Share Posted 15 March, 2011 Watched about 30 minutes of the 1st half, it was at least 15 minutes before he even got a mntion, I assumed he wasn't playing. Looks very slow sadly which was the impression we had of him when he was at Saints. Shame really because he has talent but thats not really enough. Would probably do well in Spain or Italy where games are played at a pace that would suit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithd Posted 15 March, 2011 Share Posted 15 March, 2011 my friend was at Surmans wedding last year, and spoke to the man himself regarding Wolves. He was always kept informed by McCarthy of why he wasnt picked, he just wasnt part of their plans. happens a lot i guess. took the opportunity to play for Naarch and i think he suits their style very well, good passing team playing good football. i'd like to say much like us, he'd fit in perfectly in my humble and would love to see him back here one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surman's retention of the ball and his passing was superb and complimented his and team's work ethic superbly. I thought he was too slow to play left back well and not creative enough or good enough at tackling to play attacking or defensive midfield well. He was pretty decent overall, but nothing special, which is why we got relegated when he was one of our best players. He'd probably get a game at left back or centre mid at the moment for us though, most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting logic that by getting promoted to the Premier League you automatically become a good enough player to play in it, when almost all of the sides who go up spend massively trying to improve their side so they don't come straight back down. It was 2002 the last time all three promoted Championship sides stayed up, which means that in each of the 8 full seasons since then, at least one of the teams you've just implied which is full of players who are all "good enough for the Premier League evidently" has been relegated.

"Disgusted" with signing a player who already had Prem experience over a bloke few people had heard of (albeit the division's top scorer) from Bristol Rovers ? I'm pretty sure a lot of us would have been delighted with signing a well-known player. Well that's cemented my argument, which is that just because a player is in the Prem or the Championship it doesn't mean they're necessarily good enough to play in it. For instance I reckon that Jason Puncheon from Blackpool would be useless in League One... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
