Welington

[Mr Saints]

Bit of Ait Nouri about him. Promising.

He even runs like bertrand. Thought he was superb on debut. At last a lb with some pace and physicality. Great engine too.

Similarities to Bertrand were immediate.   I’m already worried about how we keep him at season’s end.

Being that players like to win and win titles etc., wouldn't you think a lot of them would like to stay and have a really big push for the title and make a name for themselves? I would. The alternative is, most of them will only get signed up by a bottom half team where they could end up in a relegation battle again. I would rather stay a season, try and win a league title, feel great and come back as winners.

Saints to interested clubs: 🖕

Two positions we probably don't need to worry about next season are wing/full back. Assuming we only lose KWP and Taylor we'd still have Bree, Sugawara, Wellington and Manning alongside any youngsters.

Oh, and Larios.

I’ll reserve judgment on Wellington until he’s been tested playing against better opposition.

In a months time perhaps we can claim our scouts have signed a gem, or be saying he’s off to Goztepe in the summer.

That may be wise, but he's certainly got some pace, which is always a good foundation.

Like the sentiment, but when you've got an agent making a fortune on a move and a player who could be offered double to move, the temptation is go to the crappy club. Plus our owners are in to the trading game, so will encourage profitable moves.

Welington just started and already you're seeing him getting the boot. 🙂

Looks to have bags of potential.
