Okay so some of them have had there day but there is a few on here that could offer vital experience and cover including a few I think that could get in the team now! Craig Gordon Sam Dalla Bona Steed Malbranque Nigel Reo Coker Sebastian Boesnich - polish internaional left back!!!!! Ricardo Rocha - ex skate I know! Stephen Appiah Del Piero Artur Boruc Owen Hargreaves - pay as you play! What does everyone think,would any take your fancy?
Gordon, Boruc, Reo Coker, Hargreaves and Del Piero would all improve our squad, fitness and wages permitting.
No desperation from me simply looking at a decent list of players and asking a question on a "Saints forum" if people believe they could improve the squad we already have?
These players are free agents for a reason. They're either past it, injured a lot or demand more money than they're worth. Unless Nigel Adkins knows somethiing we don't, I would run a mile from this lot.
Boesnitch and one of the goalies is the obvious two choices from me! Boesnitch has been released by bremnen and is only 25 years old, could be a steal!
We signed two keepers, I think its safe to say we won't be signing anymore. And Owen Hargreaves, how does this lad keep getting one last chance, just how many minutes has he played in the last four seasons? Ten, 20, that list should be for Qpr's eyes only.
If Boruc is still capable of producing the form he had at Celtic, it would be an absolute no-brainer.
I would take Rocha....but I would place him in front of Northem and let every single fan boot a ball at him. See how he likes it the dirty ex skate! Then tell him to **** off! (those of you who missed it, booted a ball into the Northem end, with power for no reason during 2-2 draw) Prick! [video=youtube;Bvh6kyJHZP4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvh6kyJHZP4[/video]
I would take the left back, need cover there but I don't know how good he is. Hargreaves on top form is one of the best mids in the world but he's probably never going to get over his injuries. No to the rest of them.
Cheers for posting that vid st-nom, I'd forgotten how much I disliked that scumbucket. How the hell he got away with the things he did that day, I'll never understand.
This blog from 4 years ago gives us an insight into his decline: http://poland.worldcupblog.org/1/squad-watch-week-3-what-happened-to-artur-boruc.html I don't know if he's put all that behind him but it's a lot of baggage and I'm afraid I'd have to say no. Boenisch is an interesting one but I'm not sure he's much of an improvement on what we have.
