Pancake Posted 23 July, 2015 Share Posted 23 July, 2015 From the European rules: As a rule, a player may not play in a UEFA club competition (i.e. UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League, but not UEFA Super Cup) for more than one club in the course of the same season. Exceptionally, however, a player who has been fielded in the first, second, third qualifying round or the play-offs of the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League is entitled to play in the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League for another club as from the group stage. Moreover, as from the start of the round of 32, a player can be registered in accordance with Paragraph 43.01 to Paragraph 43.04. A substitute player who has not been fielded is entitled to play for another club competing in the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League in the course of the same season, provided that he is registered with the UEFA administration in accordance with the present regulations.[ Sent from my HTC Desire 310 using Tapatalk you are now the new The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a relative newbie to the forum what I have found "so *****ing boring" is the amount of vitriol and abuse aimed at fellow supporters/posters. Yes, some are pedantic and some have opinions vastly different to others but we're all Saints fans supposedly. Truth is you'd probably get on great if you met in the pub and spouted loads of Saints related nonsense to each other, but when camouflaged behind the anonimity of an avatar it seems people try to find a reason to vent their frustrations and anger at each other… rather than address what they are really upset/angry about.

Stephens played 41 games for Swindon last season, to go from that to 5th choice for Saints and rarely playing might not be good for his development. Might be better having a loan at a Championship club to test him more regularly now that he is used to playing every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 23 July, 2015 Share Posted 23 July, 2015 Would be a bit disappointed if our Toby replacement is him. Seen and couple of times and might be fine, but I was expecting more investment and someone younger. Unless we're struggling for money then I guess it would make sense. Les Reed confirmed Saints made a larger bid for Alderweireld than Tottenham made. So the money for a new centre back is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted 24 July, 2015 Share Posted 24 July, 2015 Stephens played 41 games for Swindon last season, to go from that to 5th choice for Saints and rarely playing might not be good for his development. Might be better having a loan at a Championship club to test him more regularly now that he is used to playing every week. It's premiership experience Stephens needs now imo. Given our whole mentality has been giving our own youngsters opportunities it would make far more sense imo for Stephens to take up the fourth centre back slot in Gardos absence.

Shance Posted 24 July, 2015 Share Posted 24 July, 2015 Wouldn't want Shawcross anyway. I don't think he'd compliment Fonte very well. Van Dijk would be a much better option imo. On another note, we do seem to like a knee injury or 10. That's Rodriguez, Forster, Gardos and Bertrand off the top of my head in recent times.

Saint Charlie Posted 24 July, 2015 Share Posted 24 July, 2015 (edited) It's premiership experience Stephens needs now imo. Given our whole mentality has been giving our own youngsters opportunities it would make far more sense imo for Stephens to take up the fourth centre back slot in Gardos absence. Koeman will know more than anyone what his current capability is. He looks a great prospect but being rushed into PL football, especially in such a key position as centre back, could ruin him if he isn't ready. I'm sure Saints will do the right thing but CB isn't a position for rookies IMO. There are barely any 20 year old PL CBs who are decent, probably Stones the only one. We obviously need at least one CB, preferably someone to start alongside Fonte. If that is van Dijk then hopefully we can sort something pretty quick. Spurs have 5 senior CBs (and thats discounting Chiriches who is leaving) yet we have only two so its the one area we are weak and ill-prepared currently for a long season of hopefully many games.
