Miltonaggro Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Adds set pieces as well. Terrific signing and could well provide that extra little bit of quality and impetus for the autos. Combined with KWP, Downes, Armstrong and Fraser, in particular, there will be games when we will be relentless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 4 hours ago, Whitey Grandad said: Cup tied presumably. He is, but if he can play the league games either side it frees up another current first team player to go strong in the cup. I wanted us to sign him when he went to Bournemouth, has so much quality just needs more game time, looking forward to seeing him play for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 This lad is quality. Us signing him and Leicester hopefully losing Dewsbury - Hall is going to make the rest if the season very interesting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a1ex2001 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 looks like a great signing assuming we manage to get it over the line, shame there doesn't look to be an option to buy if we go up and it surely adds some complication picking a matchday squad as we have so many loan players? Maybe we need to turn one into a permanent move now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodymatt Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 https://youtu.be/Lxusx6eAu_g?si=DJGewBOACD-bJ9ST In depth interview with Brooks 9 months ago on his return. Interesting insight into his journey. Seems a humble and somewhat introverted person who just wants to get back to where he was. I think coming to play in our team right now is a great place for him to do that. If he ends up back at Bournemouth after helping us achieve our goals then fair enough, but the idea of him getting back to full fitness and coming to Saints permanently sounds good to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_SFC Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) He is a lovely lad. Had a good chat with him whilst he was helping out with a kids summer holiday football camp in Poole a few years ago.

Comes from a lovely family too. Cathryn and Ian certainly did a good job raising him and Ian actually has a soft spot for Saints after he worked in the city in the 80s. This is a great move for everyone. Edited January 30 by niceandfriendly 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gio1saints Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) I think that is excellent as his “score a goal or do something special on the pitch song”. 😇 Can’t be singing it as he walks on or heads it out for a corner. Fuck it. Of course we can. It’s even better if it’s just a 3 yard square pass - or similar simple ball - if somewhat ironic. 😃. Might change the lyric slightly though- either “ don’t you wish you could play like David Brooks” or “ I wish I could play like David Brooks” I’m in - if he plays next home match I’m singing it whenever he gets the ball. 😂 Edited January 30 by gio1saints 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gio1saints Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Would be a major surprise if DB gets to play v Rotherham but would be a nice surprise if he did. Rothwell got a run out first match so if he’s signed and fit it may be on. He is Cup tied for the Watford replay so otherwise despite his spoken need to get minutes his next chance to start is Huddersfield 10/2. By which time I’d hope he’s fully immersed in our PB style.

Footballer interviews are always full of cliches, and PR driven responses - but what a difference that was, it was just like listening to an everyday guy telling us the horror he'd had to go through. Came across so down to earth, very humble and a proper genuine person. Very relatable and refreshing to hear the good news story at the end. Don't wish what he went through on anyone, to get back to where he is today would have taken some serious graft. Defo. an amazing character with the right mentality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusic Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Our bench is going to be ridiculous when we are at full strength and now that Edozie and Kamaldeen are almost back it gives a chance to make changes during Feb without making our attack weaker. Noticeable that our recruitment has focused on British players - probably our best starting XI only has one non British/Irish player and not often we could have said that for a good few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is, Who is our best left winger option. I'd say that Brooks and Arma are pretty locked in on the right and through the center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Excellent. Can't wait to see him play for us. We should have signed him back in 2018 instead of wasting £16m on Ely. Can't believe Bournemouth have allowed him to join us. A great opportunity for both of us. Hopefully we get see him glide through championship opponents while at the same time falling in live with the place leading to him signing for us in the summer to help us next season in the Prem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
