Spors will favour athleticism, height, power and pace as the default requirement of SFC players. Whoever is new manager not only MUST comply but ideally is already a believer.

I expect someone will make a reasonable enough bid for Jan and we'll keep Stephens for "character" and versatility. I don't profess to be an expert on contracts and how they work unlike some of the chaps on here but if a manager at the beginning of the season took them both to the side and told there's no future for them at saints, I'm pretty sure they'd both want to play football at this stage of their careers rather than being part of the reserves. I suppose you can never really tell but I think that sort of approach might make them feel like leaving.
CB Fry Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Not really sure who you think we would be selling him to. QPR won't be able to afford him. Selling him to a Championship title rival would seem pretty insane and I'm not sure anyone would stump up the fee we'd want for a player on a long contract. 1
revolution saint Posted April 26 Posted April 26 (edited) Thought I’d have a look at the QPR V Burnley game to see how Edwards is getting on. Half time and QPR are 3 nil down but Edwards has done ok. He might have reacted quicker for the second goal but it wasn’t his man to pick up. Seems to have decent awareness and anticipation and cleared off the line on one occasion. Shown enough to indicate he’s relatively press resistant and comfortable in possession but hasn’t been adventurous in his passing or stepped into midfield. edit: subbed on 79 minutes. QPR went to 3 at the back and it didn’t suit Edwards as well, showed a lack of mobility a bit and picked up a yellow card Edited April 26 by revolution saint

That’s good news per se, but it will require almost the entire current squad to be sold , as none of our current players have any of those attributes 1

CSA96 Posted April 26 Posted April 26 5 hours ago, AlexLaw76 said: How do you know what Spors will favour? Because Spors said it himself in his only interview since joining Saints? "A very intense style of football is something that fits here. This leads to my scouting processes. I think players need to be physically strong. They need to be fast. They need to have some aggressiveness in their mentality. If you just give these headlines to a scouting department there is already a clear profile. Then we will go into much more detail with our data analytics and traditional scouting." 1

Andrew Watson Posted May 23 Posted May 23 In the provisional under 21 squad for Euros in june. Well done Ronnie. 8
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted May 25 Posted May 25 QPR fans love him. He's had a great season for them. Looking forward to having him back at Saints next season and him continuing to improve. 2
Toussaint Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Whenever I see his name I think of the “great train robbers”. An amalgam of Ronnie Biggs and Buster Edwards. Don’t know why a felt the need to get that off my chest. 1 4

sockeye Posted June 6 Posted June 6 He has been named for the under 21s Euros tournament this summer. Good luck and don’t get injured, this season will be a big one for you. Go on and lift the trophy so we can boast about having two youth Euro winners. 6
Badger Posted June 7 Posted June 7 Am looking forward to seeing him play for us next season. Ideally alongside an older head and experienced CB.

Matthew Le God Posted June 7 Posted June 7 (edited) 1 hour ago, Badger said: Am looking forward to seeing him play for us next season. Ideally alongside an older head and experienced CB. I'd rather they went for quality in his partner, not experience. Ronnie Edwards isn't a novice. He has played 172 professional games, including 143 league games. 56 games of which were in the Championship or higher. Edited June 7 by Matthew Le God 1
skintsaint Posted June 7 Posted June 7 When I see Leeds played with Ampadu & Roden most of last season it shows the gulf in class. Both I think are very average yet they did the job, i think conceding half of what we did when we got promoted the year before.
