Great future imo. Saints fan, and many on this site wanted to sign him. But Rupert knew best.

 

Didn't sign him because we couldn't afford him (we were destined for administration remember?), but hey ho ... anything to beat up Lowe and co with I suppose.

Comparison to Spiderman and all the other dross that Rupert and his Dutch dream Queens hired....Vokes any day at least he is footballer.Spiderman is a fairy and Gasmi/Pulis the ugly sisters that go missing.:smt082

WE don't need anything to 'beat up Lowe and co' They have dug their own grave (metaphorically speaking) - and ours.

Of course that would fly rather well if we hadnt then signed Morgan and our selection of ****e loan signings!

How much did he go for ?? bet it wasn't much, not as much as the other crap we wasted money on, simply the player we need at the moment, big strong and an eye for a goal, and obviously has an affection for us !!

 

Well missed Lowe and co

 

bITS AND PIECES HP UP TO MAX £100,000.:mad:..mind you we missed him as a Saints Schoolboy?:)

Rupert and the Dutch crowd...JP,Wotte and Big Kim and later Gorre were not listening To Hockaday..moved out..why? OR Henderson ..DEMOTED..WHY?

 

So our knowledge and decision making was left with NO knowledge of the time of day regarding CCC and other leagues.....Rupert is or was the kingmaker...Not interested outside of his own circle including a few of the Rupert Tiller girls on here.

 

Now if he had listened to many of the experienced posters on here he could have had some real direction.......Mind you one size was a reasonable aquisition and that was suggested by an Englishman.......McClaren in Holland. Wise Owl told me.

I liked one size, can't believe we let him go. Can't believe some of the past decisions as far as releasing players and crap aquisitions, problem is different managers have different ideals and we have had far too many new and arguebly conflicting ideas that have catastrophically all mixed in the ways that they have attempted to stamp their own personal ideals on the squad.

 

IMO

£300,000 fee. So we paid Euell a £200,000 signing on fee each season and £10000 a week, what a bargain.

 

Lol, put it that way its a dreadful decision, thought he had a good game today, great in the air, big and strong and worked hard. If we are gonna bang long balls or just persist with wotton we need someone like him to do something with these balls.

I thought he signed for Wolves at the end of last season?

 

Lowe took over the club and rid us of Pearson....He already had JP and Wotte to be Managers..commenced 30th May?

Whilst Lowe was messing around games re Pearson...Vokes was offered to Saints...But Lowe would not commit as it was left to new management team decisions who had no idea of English players..(Not even Pulis..not JP decision at all) Vokes wanted and hope to come to Saints BUT Wolves pushed it through Bournemouth to Wolves 23rd May? IMHO of course....Maybe it wouldn't have mattered and I am just beating Rupert for prevaricating in MAy 2008...But he got what he wanted...not Vokes but the likes of Spiderman, Gasmi and Pulis....Rupert decisions.:)

we could have got him for peanuts and he wanted to come but the chiefs had other ideas,he is a saints fan and he must be hurting like the rest of us hence the lack of a goal celebration,but after all is said and done he is employed by wolves and he is paid to score goals so the best of luck to him.

him playing or not wouldnt have made a difference,we were outplayed,out muscled and were tactically poor,they deserved their win and i hope they go onto better things its just a shame that we caved in so easily instead of fighting for our lives.

poor tactics,poor managment,poor players,brilliant support.....wolves deserved the win.

How many has he scored for Wolves this season ?

How many games has he started in this season ?

How many games did he start/appear in when first signed ?

Was Lowe at the helm when he was being whored out by Bournemeouth ?

The photocopier salesman stated Vokes was very much in his plans how could anyone have competed with that ?

8 goals in 6 games

 

Lowe was in charge and was only interested in his Dutch boys and players called..

Spiderman, Gasmi and some boy called Pulis. So I am told by a mate called Kim.;)

I cannot believe some of you on here.

 

By all means give Lowe a hard time for mistakes he made BUT:

 

VOKES SIGNED FOR WOLVES FOR £250k IN MAY 2008

 

This was before Lowe retook the reigns.....and that means Crouch, Pearson and co decided not to pursue Vokes.

 

Still never let the truth get in the way of your witch hunts.

Or perhaps Crouch and Pearson were told by Lowe not to buy or sell any players as he and Wilde were about to take over?

 

So, indirectly, Lowe was to blame for it. I firmly believe with the Lymington links between Crouch and Vokes that we would have got him.

Is Kim still with us Ottery I presumed he has left the club now as no one left to advise.

 

Still advising Wotte by smoke signals and morse code.Unfortunately two skills Mark is yet to learn.

 

They way they are playing I think he also advises Charlton part time:D

 

I am determined to find out who he is:rolleyes:

I have written to Interpol and Crimewatch and The Dutch Samaritans to identify this man who made so many big calls for The Mighty Saints....Even Ruperts Dream team on here have been kept in the dark re his identity.

 

Mind you with some of Ruperts cheerleaders/supporters on here they don't even know the name of any of the Saints players.:)

 

If anyone knows who Kim is please put me out of my misery...I need to report him and Rupert to Trading Standards.:cool:

Not 32 appearances and 6 goals ? that ratio not sensational is it ?

Signed for Wolves May 2008, when did Lowe come back ?

 

Not meant as a slight on Sam himself as I wish him all the best fully aware of how much a fan the old man is of our club

OK so everyone commenting on here put yourself in his position. You are a lifelong Saints fan, but you are playing pro football for another club. Hey, beggars can't be choosers and anyone who gets offered a pro contract anywhere is daft for not taking it up. As it is your team are virtually guaranteed promotion.

So you are playing against your boy/girlhood team who are at risk of not even existing in the very near future, and a cross comes in that you can get your head on,

Do you,

 

A, say f uck it, you are paid to score goals and ****** to everyone else

 

or

 

B, in the melee of the box duck out of the header and save 'your club' from certain relegation for another week, for the sake of a small wage bonus.

Doubt much thought was going through his head simply acted on instinct as did Beattie in our fatal season, if you recall he had to catch himself on when his instinct as a goal scorer was to celebrate.

Vokes 23rd May to Wolves.....Lowe in chair early May....JP wotte 30th MAY

KIM....? I really did not know his total appearances but thought he had onlt started 6/8 games...sub appearances and mins not checked..Told he had a good rate for minutes actually played....Stand corrected if you have checked actual facts....Nothing sensational about it....Would like to have seen him at Saints but not to be.....But then again Kim was the boss.:mad:

 

Vokes offered to Lowe before 23rd May So the info is....Lowe had been in discussions with Wotte and JP for some time...allegedly they stated they were ready to go before employment day and many players were in the bank or earmarked as possible aquisitions....Maybe they just didn't rate Vokes or lost the reports on him.;)

Wolves site shows 6 games 28 subs and 8 goals...Today 1 appearance 1 goal

 

Does that mean 7 games with 9 goals.

 

Not sure how long each sub appearance ie mins on pitch.....many are only for short duration near end of game.

 

Still a very good record for young lad and worthwhile signing in my view...

 

IF Rupert had realised/Been told or rated him....My own opinion of course.;)

He is a massive Saints fan[ As I put on match thread], he was hoping Saints would

hijack his Wolves move at eleventh hour- Fact.

His best mates father works for my mate, and I know this to be 100 percent correct.

Hence no personal goal celebration as already mentioned.

 

corsacar, I had a long coversation with sam and his Dad Tim ( who was in the Saints end today) after the game today, Tim used to go home and away to watch Saints, still does as and when Sam is not playing,

and what you have said is 100% correct

Sorry Sam, but you are a ****!

 

 

Don't talk ****e.

 

How would you feel as a fan if one of ours did that? Maybe you should discuss it with sam's dad ...
