Is that the end of Perry then?

 

Nope, the end of Lancashire. You can't expect 3 CB's to be enough for a season especially when one is an error prone youngster like Lancashire and the other is a 35 year old.

 

I imagine Perry will get a rest for a bit after Tuesday, he's played lots of games in a row for someone his age.

Looking at some of his stats, then I think he's more back up than waltzing straight in.

 

Almost joined Huddersfield in Jan 2007, but eventually went to Southend that summer, but never made a start for them.

 

He went to Stevenage on loan for a month at the back end of 2007, but only played twice (his last game against Salisbury in Dec 2007).

There are some very strange people in this world. lol

I like the Steve Tilson was "desperate to sign him" quote on Wiki. So desperate he never played a game as was shipped out to non league soon after!

 

We can't half pick em!

The echo:

 

 

Saints have made a last gasp swoop to sign Hungarian defender Zoltan Liptak.

 

The 24-year-old 6ft 4in centre half has joined on loan until the end of the season from Ujpest FC but he won’t be considered until Saturday’s match at Watford.

 

Liptak has previously had a loan spell at Stevenage and trials at Huddersfield and Southend.

 

The transfer window has now closed and the club have confirmed that there have been no departures today.

 

Wotte said: “He is a player we have been looking at for a short while and he impressed us in a recent behind closed doors friendly with how powerful he is in the air.

 

“He is extremely composed on the ball and gives us more options in our defensive positions.

 

“I am happy that we can add his quality to the team, and with his height and technical abilities I am positive he will fit in very well in this league.

 

“After Jack Cork and Alex Pearce left the club and the injuries to Wayne Thomas and Michael Svensson I felt that it was the right thing to bring in a centre back in order to compete with Oliver Lancashire, Jan-Paul Saeijs and Chris Perry for the central defensive positions.”

 

Liptak added: “I am very happy to join Southampton and hope to help the Club climb out of the relegation zone and up the league.”

Hmmmmm, seeing as Wotte stated that he would only sign players 'better than we already have, and who can go straight into the team' (or words to effect) I sincerely hope this guy is better than his list of previous clubs would suggest.

 

I mean: signed from a Hungarian 2nd div team, who we beat 5-2 without Saga and Surman (to name but 2); previously signed by League 1 Southend, but couldn't break into their team; loaned a conference team for a month, where he made just 2 appearances.

 

So, either this guy is much better than he would appear or our other defenders are deemed as less than conference level players in Wotte's eyes. ;)

 

Good luck Zoltan, I hope you prove to be a success at SMS.

You also missed out the fact that we beat them with JP in charge on the day he had decided to quit and playing at home where he had a hoodoo for winning matches in SMS! :D

been much debate on here as to how many CBs you need for first team squad,

if its 2 -is he better then Perry and Saeijs?

but if its 4 is he better than those plus Lancashire and..?

You need 2 to play in the TEAM; at least 4 in the SQUAD; IMO.

 

Wotte said he would not bring in SQUAD players, only those good enough to walk into the TEAM.

Oh come on. We haven't lost anyone and although our 'signing' may be a bit left-field at least it's an indicator that we're not quite as deep in the sh*t as some would have us believe.

 

If we hadnt signed a CB either in the window or in the Loan window and Perry got injured it would be another reason to have a protest for. :rolleyes:

We've not lost anyone because all our players are sh1t and no one else wants them.

So in short we lost Robertson, Cork and Pearce and we got Saeijs, Saga, Liptak and Molyneux in return. Not a bad January considering the predicament we are in.

 

You missed out the massive loss of Pekhart!!!!!!!!!!;)

 

As you say (and as I posted on another thread), I think we've come out the other side of January stronger than we went into it, so that's a plus.

 

But that's not to say that we have to be happy clappy on every signing, and so I think it is also fair to remain to be convinced of this signing who struggled to get a game for Stevenage!!!!!

brilliant news. I've been saying for donkeys that we need to replace Perry with a big solid centre back offering height, pace and ability on the ball. For all Perry's comittment in the tackle he is poor at set peices, slow on the turn and terrible on the ball. I hope this fella is decent.
