Minsk Posted 5 February, 2009 Share Posted 5 February, 2009 (edited) http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=11334 "I am very pleased to be here at Southampton," said Liptak. Of that, I have no doubt. "We got clearance on Thursday and we have two Reserve matches next week, so I think it's best for Zoltan to play a couple of games like that first to get used to the players and the system," Wotte said, making his first excuse to get out of his original claim that he would only sign players, "Better than we already have." Liptak also knows what lies in store in English football, having spent time with Essex side, Southend United in the 2007-08 season. But the OS still fails to mention the fact that he never actually played a match for Southend's first team, or that he was subsequently loaned out the Stevenage Borough, were he also failed to hold down a first team place. Anyway, I'm off to read my Pravda - it's stories give a more balanced view than those on the OS! Edited 5 February, 2009 by Minsk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minsk Posted 5 February, 2009 Author Share Posted 5 February, 2009 lets give him a chance - all signings thus far have been poor or average so heres hoping he's an unexpected diamond! Don't get me wrong, I hope he turns out to be a mixture of Rio Ferdinand and John Terry, only twice as good the pair of them put together. However, his previous (last season's!) achievements would indicate otherwise. Oh, and yes, this was more a dig at the OS than at Zoltan. But I will be keeping a 'weather eye' on his progress. Match 1 - played at SMS for Ujpest, helping them to conceed 5 goals against Saints a few weeks back. Iknow, I know, you don't believe that any team could conceed 5 goals against Saints at SMS, especially this season, but it's true. DMG 2, Spiderman, Pulis (who?) and Gasmi (who?) were the scorers. I notice the OS didn't mention anything about the match, result, who played, scorers, etc in the Liptak article (or anywhere else) simply that, 'Liptak's parent club, Ujpest FC, are currently lying in second place in the Hungarian top flight and recently played Saints in a 'behind-closed doors' friendly at St. Mary's.'

VectisSaint Posted 6 February, 2009 Share Posted 6 February, 2009 Think maybe people are being a touch unfair to Lipstick. Seems quite clear to me he was signed as cover, our first choice centre backs are Perry and Seijs now. Lancashire is also (emergency) cover. With Killer now seemingly finished it was important to have some specialist cover, unlikely that Perry and Seijs will manage evry remaining game. Lipstick has played 15 times for Hungary u21 (although he is now 24) and made 26 appearances for Ujpest (he has only been there since June). Now Ujpest may not be the greatest team in the world, but 2nd in the top division in Hungary is probably still at least as good as mid table CCC (better than us in other words). For a cover thats OK, as long as he is fit, and has decent ability. His proposed transfer to Southend seemingly ended mysteriously, no hint that he wasn't good enough, Tilson said he desparately wanted to sign him. I am as critical as anyone how this club is being run, but criticising Lipstick before he has even played is out of order in my book, I would expect we will only see him play a handful of times if one of the others is unavailable, he can't be any worse than the guy from Reading last year (sorry dementia setting in), and in the end he turned out to be quite good.

ottery st mary Posted 6 February, 2009 Share Posted 6 February, 2009 Southend want their £50,000 back after he walked away from them because he was not getting a first team game. Apparently he was not good enough.. Maybe he will promise to pay this back himself. Just like JP did to Helmond. My own view is that a couple of reserve games will not tell you everything but at least they will have a clue by then. I do hope for the sake of the CCC strikers that Liptak is made of chocolate as they will eat him alive. He is due to make his debut about the same time as Pulis.

I think you are being a tad harsh on Alan Bennett. Yes, he had a shocking bebut for us but got better. In all, over the past season and a half, he has played 10 games in the CCC and 37 in League 2. During the same period Liptak failed to make the team ONCE in League 1 and only TWICE in a 2 month spell in the conference, as well as whatever he did in Hungary. Now, I haven't seen Lipstick play, but judging their stats I would rather have had Bennett back. You are right, of course, not to judge him until you have seen him play. And I am sure like me you want him to turn into our next Mark Wright, Claus, or Killer, but if it was announced we had signed a 6' 5" Belorusian CB called Vitaly Lubkov would you be saying the same thing? I am sure you nothing about Vitaly so I would presume so. But maybe you would do a little research and come to a conclusion as to how good he is based on this. And then maybe you might compare the fact he has never played a professional match in his life with a statement from our 'head coach' that, 'we are looking for a player who has experience of a certain level' and 'who is better than we already have.'

Minsk Posted 6 February, 2009 Author Share Posted 6 February, 2009 but most people were happy to lap it up when kelvin said he wanted to stay....not one mention of OS bullshheet It's a tad different TDD. I do truly believe that Kelvin wants to stay. Whereas on Jan 30th, the day before we signed Zoltan, Wotte told us: "I don't want anyone who isn't better than the players we have," Wotte said. "It's no use bringing someone in just because the window is open. We can always bring someone in on loan afterwards. "If I bring in a player from abroad it has to be someone who has proven his quality and had played at a certain level. Jan-Paul Saeijs was not a risky signing because we know him very well." That's, 'better than THE PLAYERS we have' not 'better than another back-up who may be called upon to fill a role in the team.' And "Someone who has proven his ability" how/where has Zoltan proven any ability? And then we get the, "Zoltan has experience of English football after his spell with Southend" omitting the fact that he never even managed to play a match for them for the whole season he was on their books, and was then loaned to a CONFERENCE team where he also failed to keep a place in the team. The OS obviously think we are all totally fookin stoopid. This is the point I am making. Oh, and yes I know of loads of non-league players who have been signed by professional clubs and gone on to good things, Andy Townsend is a good Saints example, so of course it is possible. But were their clubs hailing them as 'proven quality internationals' at the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being harsh on Bennett at all (thanks for reminding me of his name), re-read my post and you will see that I was saying he was good after looking absolute crap in his first 2 games. Like you I may have preferred to have Bennett back, but that isn't happening, and never was going to. I think the rest of your post is just complete drivel. Lipstick has played at a decent level (better than bottom of CCC) and is also Hungary u21 internatinal 15 times. He has been brought in as cover because we only had 3 recognised CBs. I don't expect him to be our next Mark Wright, I actually hope he never plays, because that would mean our first choice CBs Perry and Seijs are injured or suspended. There is no inconsistency between Wotte's stamenent and Lipstick joining - he is better than what we have, because we have nothing for 4th choice CB, and to be fair he is probably better than Olly currently is (he will be good one day). Fair enough blasting Lowe and Wotte, i do it all the time, but find something valid to blast them for, there are plenty of things that fall into that category, and get off the back of a player who has come here to help out, won't be earning much money, probably won't play much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
