    Going by what this guy says Carlos has played in a few different positions.

    In his OS interview he describes himself as being a midfield player that likes to shoot from outside the box, score with headers and drive the team forward from midfield.

    He is only 5"9 as well, anyone starting to get Tim Cahill vibes?

    I like what he said about Ward Prowse. I like the way he plays I am similar and I hope to learn a lot from him.

    Here's how I read your post.

    I like what he said about Ward Prowse.

    I [SaintMarv] like what he said about Ward Prowse.


    I like the way he plays


    I [SaintMarv] like the way Ward Prowse plays.


    I am similar and I hope to learn a lot from him.

    I [SaintMarv] play football in a similar way to Ward Prowse and I [SaintMarv] hope to learn a lot from him.




    I thought we had an undiscovered star in the making on the forum. I also appear to have lost my ability to understand posts.

    Thought so, great to hear. Cahill was my favourite non-saints player growing up, bit of a random one but i just loved his fight and how he influenced almost all parts of the game.

    I'm absolutely certain that his record at Luton was the clincher. As opposed to Roger Schmidt and Benfica, both renowned for their inability to bring through kids.

    If he can get us to love him a fraction of how much he loves himself we'll certainly have seen the team progress. ****ing hell

    I mean, even if it was true, why say it? A lot of players that he has signed in the past have in fact said that Jones played a big role. The fact NJ does speak spanish makes it plausible that he spoke with Alcaraz and helped convince him. But he just comes across as a bit of a twat by saying that <laugh>

    I don’t think I’m ever going to like the guy as a person, but who cares really if he gets us playing well. I used to think Adkins was a wally too, so possibly on my own there.

    See, I liked NA as a personality, but thought he was limited as a manager.

    Lol back to back promotions and the probably the most enjoyable years for me as a Saints fan. Proves WTF do I know <laugh>

    Nah Adkins was an annoying bell end, can’t fault what he did as a manager though
