Ex Saints who still play you would welcome back?

Just looking at the pictures and comments on the David Hughes testimonial thread got me thinking... which Saints that still play would you welcome back to SMS next season?

 

I'd welcome Oakley, Prutton and Cranie back and would love Niemi to join us as goalkeeping coach. I would even consider approaching Telfer too, as his fitness, experience and professionalism certainly wouldn't go amiss when rebuilding.

 

No real point to this, just something to think about other than consortiums and relegation :)

Can't see us getting Oakley back. He is still easily CCC class and was doing a decent job for Derby in the Prem a little over a year ago. Not offering him the 2 year deal Burley offered Wright was madness IMO.

 

Realistically we'd be looking at players like Ormerod, Cranie and Prutton. I'd welcome the latter back with open arms just for his effort.

 

Oh, and Gregory Vignal is available on a free.

Considering .....it's League 1....

 

Why not,Telfer ?, (for 1-2 seasons.) He's the fittest player we've ever had.

Oakley in midfield YES - especially as we'll likely lose Lallana and / or Surman.

Crainie has a long history with Saints - but he's no more than average IMHO.

Prutton - nice guy - but terrible discipline - almost ADHD sometimes (!)

Niemi as coach ..YES..and Michael Svensson, too!

 

James Beattie (? ) - well, you can dream, I suppose....in 2 years... maybe.

Wayne Bridge....in 3 years ...maybe

Theo Walcott....in 10 years ...maybe

A bit besides the point but James Beattie was just interviewed on Sky Sports news talking about Stoke whilst clearly wearing our shirt! :rolleyes:

 

It was at Staplewood and you could see some of our fans in the background! Most likely was today and Sky had blocked out our badge to not make it too obvious

I saw that this morning. I couldn't figure out why Beatts would be wearing last season's home kit. Surely it would be this seasons kit or one of the old ones from his time here. Unless of course Stoke aren't content with collecting our old players and now want our old kits for next season too.

 

Anyway, good to see Beattie doing something to support the club (though I have no idea what). I can't imagine Kevin Phillips doing anything like... whatever it is he's doing.

At Eastleigh, yesterday for Dave Hughes' testimonial.

Stick Matt Le Tiss on bench to come on for last 1/4 of hour- would increase gates even if only for a couple of matches...could take penalties too!!!!!!

 

 

he could just come on your penalties and the other 9 outfield players would have to cope

Nope, I would still take them.

Why, just because they are ex-Saints? JvD especially was a complete knob-head, and we wasted so much money on someone who couldn't give a toss about us. Davenport was one of the main reasons for relegation. Most others listed I would back like a shot, but these two were just ****s and I would not welcome back at any cost.

 

Just another thought, How about Tin Man, HCDAJFU (even Chala might be usefuk at Leagie One level)

Maybe not with regard to Phillips but I've always thought he was the most skilful player of proven standing at the club in recent years apart from Le Tissier. If he'd have been playing up front for us this season we wouldn't be going down now. Even with a points deduction IMHO.
