Bailey Posted 11 December, 2008 Share Posted 11 December, 2008 http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/3969888.Bournemouth_chance_for_Idiakez_/ Good luck to him I say! Looks as though they're after him to replace the retired Anderton. Not sure how many appearances they'd get out of Idiakez should he sign though. At least their physio will be busy!

RobM Posted 11 December, 2008 Share Posted 11 December, 2008 Good replacement for Anderton. The sort of player who can come on as a sub and have a big impact, especially at their level. Good luck to him... and them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say if Bournemouth can afford his wages then let's get him back here, he is still good and experienced enough and would work well with our kids. I can't believe alpine thought he was completely f**king useless especially from the comfort of his armchair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he gets on well down there, he deserves it after (literally) running himself into ground at the end of last season. I liked his fight with Euell (I think) on the final day, it showed how much both cared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungle Posted 12 December, 2008 Share Posted 12 December, 2008 Idiakez played very well for us - in the play-off season let us not forget that our best run of form in the autumn coincided with him partnering Jhonny V in the centre of the park. Shame his body wasn't up to it anymore, but that's no reason to hate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When his fitness allowed, he put in some excellent performances for us and had a real impact on many games. Sadly, he was injury prone which limited how effective he could be for us. But he was far from useless. A fully fit Idiakez would be perfect for us right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be prepared to take a low wage for Bournemouth to be able to consider it. If he has a lower wage expectation now then I too would like to have him back. I believe we let him go as he was one of the higher wage earners. On the injury front, he was only getting these niggling injuries as he wasn't playing consistently under Burley. Once he had a good run in the team, his fitness improved and so fewer injuries. Come back Idi, 5K a week, ok for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best game IMO was Bristol City home. I'd think he'd do quite well in the current side but fitness was always an issue with II sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted 12 December, 2008 Share Posted 12 December, 2008 If he could play for Bournemouth then he could play for us. I'll never forget his reaction when Stern John scored the third against Sheffiel United. He was jumping up and down like a three-year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be worth seeing if he's up to much on the football field still!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Porter Posted 12 December, 2008 Share Posted 12 December, 2008 Wasn't my favourite player before Pearson took over, infact he annoyed the hell out of me. He like Euell really turned the corner when Pearson took over and helped us avoid the drop. Would be a very good signing if Bournemouth can get him back to his end of season form and fitness.

I've no doubt he has the athletic ability to play 90 minutes a week still, but I'm not convinced his body can take it. It certainly seemed not to be the case when at Saints. That said, as an impact player with the experience to guide the younger players, I'd be pleased to see him back. Even having him around to guide and encourage on the training field and from the bench would be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Posted 12 December, 2008 Share Posted 12 December, 2008 Don't think wages will be much of an issue. II has been without a contract since he left here 6 months ago. They could offer him peanuts and he'd probably take it. At the time, signing II seemed like a good signing. However with hindsight it was a poor decision as he was never fit enough to build a midfield around. Best of luck to him anyway. His legs may have gone, but I don't think he lacked effort. I don't remember II as being that good under Pearson though. Against WBA he was awful, play just went right round him in the middle. It was a similar story in games like Scunny away.
