Bailey Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 Does anyone know if his contract is up in the summer? Also, what's the latest with his injury? I'm guessing he won't be back until next season at the earliest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to respect WS's opinions, though I feel he gives Lowe the benefit of the doubt a bit too often. What you have written about UP's comments suggests nothing to me about how they feel about Wotte. I tend to totally disregard nickh's insights as PR bolllocks.

RinNY Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 I will say that we finally seem to have a reasonably settled back four that is doing a decent job -- Skacel - Perry - Saeijs - James -- and barring any serious slip in form I hope we can stick with them the rest of the way, no matter what happens with Thomas. There has been far too much chopping and changing in the team, and it's contributed to our poor and inconsistent results, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Saint Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 Just to set the record straight I have not heard any of the players are against Wotte although they say he is a hard task master and that was not in a critical way. I was not at the Sheff Utd game as I had a meeting and dinner appointment but against Swansea and Preston we showed individual and team determination missing previously. As for Thomas, I believe his contract was for 2 years and is up at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 I don't think WT is highly regarded and he will not get his contract renewed. There is a view that if he makes a mistake he soon asks to come off with an injury. In other words not mentally strong. Burley's worst signing imo.

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 To return to the original question Wayne Thomas signed a 3 year contract in August 2007 (£1.2m) : http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/search/?mode=movenav&page_id=8870 So unless a extension has been signed (of which I'm unaware) he will be on contract with SFC until the end of the 2009/10 season .

Benj540 Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 I always thought Thomas was a good centre back, pretty solid and quite quick. Just prone to the odd mistake and then his confidence gets knocked and it just goes downhill. I wouldn't mind seeing Thomas along side either Perry or Saeijs.

I remember hearing just after we signed him that Dowie at Coventry had a £150,000 bid turned down the week before; I'd say their valuation of him was considerably closer to his true value than ours sadly. All I'd ever known him doing before he signed for us was lamping Viafara and getting red-carded the season before, and I haven't ever seen any similar fight in him playing for us.

Bailey Posted 22 February, 2009 Author Share Posted 22 February, 2009 I've just had a flashback of his first half performance in pre-season. It was either against Celtic or Stoke.

Thedelldays Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 i remember when we got him....we were desperate for a CB..one of those "burley" moments I think shame he costs so much...lets hope it was not the 1.2m up front and a chunk based on promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint_stevo Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 Thomas was excellent in the cup v Brum Couldnt believe when we paid 1.2m for him, then Burnley went out and replaced him with Clarke Carlisle for 100k ish who is probably a better player!

Arizona Posted 22 February, 2009 Share Posted 22 February, 2009 I think Thomas like Skacel is a good player, but will always be criticised for the amount of money he cost. £1.2m is double what he is worth, but we've just pretty much matched that for Morgan Schneiderlin, who it has to be said has contributed far less than Thomas did last season.

AndyNorthernSaints Posted 23 February, 2009 Share Posted 23 February, 2009 Thomas could play right back and give us better height defending set pieces as well as allowing James to play right wing and get forward more with his crossing ability.

austsaint Posted 23 February, 2009 Share Posted 23 February, 2009 If we go down - I don't want to think about it either - WT would be good value as a Div 1 CB, given Size will be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 23 February, 2009 Share Posted 23 February, 2009 Saeijs -whilst not saying he likes him, says training and preparation is now hard and intense The question is why wasn't it hard and intense before, and if it wasn't, why didn't Wotte, Hockaday or anyone else get something done about it? It's been bleedin obvious the payers weren't fit enough all season. I don't know, but maybe the training regime getting tougher has something to do with Killer getting involved?
