AndyNorthernSaints Posted 18 October, 2008 Share Posted 18 October, 2008 Have had a quick look at defenders currently not playing 1st team football in the Premier league. I know some will be too expensive with wages but surely Saints could get someone in with some experience to shore up the defence? rather than get more midfield loans in. Valente - Everton Knight - Villa O'Halloran - Villa Hunt - Bolton Gardner - Bolton Khizanishvilli - Blackburn Baird - Fulham Nosworthy - Sunderland Bardsley - Sunderland Hreidarsson - P*rtsmuff Gibbs - Arsenal Collins - West Ham Taylor - Wigan Boyce - Wigan Robinson - WBA Shawcross - Stoke Gunter - Spurs Plus there must be many others playing in the championship or below who could do a better job. Failing that we could always play Thomas and Skacel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gully Posted 18 October, 2008 Share Posted 18 October, 2008 Any of those would improve our defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted 18 October, 2008 Share Posted 18 October, 2008 Once again though the sticking point is money - I can't see one of those being available for the kind of money we could afford. Perhaps Chris might come back and help us purely for the 'love of the club', errr but then again perhaps he'll stay at FFC picking up his 20k a week!

Rebel Posted 18 October, 2008 Share Posted 18 October, 2008 we should bring back Chris Baird tomorrow surely if we pay half his wages - 10K a week - Fulham will pay the other half - after all he's not doing them any good is he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild-saint Posted 18 October, 2008 Share Posted 18 October, 2008 I was chatting to some firends about the money needed for a defender. I remember as a kid going to alternate saints and portsmouth home games 30 odd years ago and at Fratton when money was real tight they used to have big drums outside for fans to chuck change in. If a decent player was to cost £5k per week, I personally would chuck a coulple of quid in the pot to pay for a player. Imagine a decent centreback? that would change the face of this side.

Chez Posted 19 October, 2008 Share Posted 19 October, 2008 O'Halloran - Villa has he improved since the last time he was here then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 19 October, 2008 Author Share Posted 19 October, 2008 has he improved since the last time he was here then? Did he start/play many games? i've no idea. The point i was making was there are players out there that could do a job in defence for Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 19 October, 2008 Share Posted 19 October, 2008 Defenders ? What are they ? There's been more sightings of Paul Allen at SMS for the last 3 or 4 seasons, than a quality defender in red-and-white.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976_Child Posted 19 October, 2008 Share Posted 19 October, 2008 we have to get someone in who knows what he's doing at the back. Their second goal there was no one on either of the posts when the corner came in. School boy stuff really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 19 October, 2008 Share Posted 19 October, 2008 we need some `units' like Wayne Brown (available on loan from Hull), some defenders with bite like Chris Biard, some height at fullback like Djimi Traore (kicking his heals down the road) and maybe some talent in Quedrue (Brum) or Ryan Taylor. None of these are financially viable though. But maybe if Skacel and Stern went out on loan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been more sightings of Paul Allen at SMS for the last 3 or 4 seasons, than a quality defender in red-and-white.... Even you can't slate Andrew Davies, really.
