trousers Posted 5 December, 2008 Share Posted 5 December, 2008 Might be me reading too much into a quote (for once)....but when Poortvliet says: "We are very satisfied with many of our loan players and we hope that they will stay here," isn't he implying that he's not satisfied with all of them? I wonder which ones he's not "very satisfied" with? http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=11023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Porter Posted 5 December, 2008 Share Posted 5 December, 2008 Pekhart and Smith haven't been too good. I doubt he would mean Robertson after playing him three games in a row, he's not been great but you can't knock the effort he's putting in. Maybe he means Gasmi although would be a bit harsh to judge someone who's not even match fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Porter Posted 5 December, 2008 Share Posted 5 December, 2008 Pekhart and Smith are just a waste of space it seems. Cork and Pearce superb. Robertson I haven't seen enough of. Robertson is somewhere in the middle, not brilliant but certainly not a bad player. Wouldn't mind getting him in exchange for Dyer, he at least gives us an option upfront.

I wonder which ones he's not "very satisfied" with? http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=11023 You know what, Trousers, I read it and the same thought crossed my mind. Most, but not all. I think we all agree on who has excelled, who has done ok, and who seems a waste of our (very scarce) money. If Smith was supposed to backfill for Holmes, we sure won't want him when Holmes is back in harness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli Posted 5 December, 2008 Share Posted 5 December, 2008 Wow. A positive message from Jan and someone has to pick holes in a possible negative. Whatever next. He could simply be saying that others have not yet had an opportunity to prove themselves. Robertson, for example, has said he is only just getting back to full fitness and we knew we would have to wait a while longer for Gasmi and Pulis to be available for selection. He can hardly say he is impressed with them but that's not to say they will not shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West End Saint Posted 5 December, 2008 Share Posted 5 December, 2008 Pekhart and Smith are just a waste of space it seems. Cork and Pearce superb. Robertson I haven't seen enough of. Agreed if we could keep Cork and Pearce I would be 1 happy bunny they are awsome not that botthered about the rest I would rather see Patterson get a run out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Posted 5 December, 2008 Share Posted 5 December, 2008 We have Holmes, Skacel, Surman, Gobern and apparently BWP who can play LW, so Smith can go back to Millwall as far as I care. Pekhart hasn't played much but by all accounts hasn't been impressive. Robertson puts the effort in, but has never really looked effective. Looked average at Reading, very poor against Plymouth and there were hardly rave reviews from Charlton. Gasmi hasn't had a real chance for the first team yet, but I didn't get a boner watching him in the reserves. So, on the face of it I'd keep Pearce and Cork given chance, but they're the two we're leat likely to get. On a slightly different note, why did we get rid of Licka and sign Pulis...

Legod Third Coming Posted 5 December, 2008 Share Posted 5 December, 2008 The kid from Milwall has been anonymous and the striker from Spurs has fallen well down the Peck(hart)ing order..... Too early to write anyone off. Does no-one recall the lad from Reading who was made sacrifical lamb after one game - where admittedly it looked like he had never seen a football before in his life...

team-saint Posted 5 December, 2008 Share Posted 5 December, 2008 On a slightly different note, why did Lowe get rid of Licka and sign Pulis... I have corrected your post Pearce and Cork should be kept We don't have to worry about Gasmi at the moment because he is on loan until the end of the seasom.

um pahars Posted 5 December, 2008 Share Posted 5 December, 2008 Too early to write anyone off. Considering his non appearance recently (and the comments made by JP) it would appear that Jan has written him off!!!!! Cork and Pearce have been good loan signings, but after that I can't help but think the others have been a waste of time, effort and money.
