This really doesn't need to be a thread.

 

I think it probably does. An interview with Guly, during the off-season. Seems reason enough to me.

 

No

 

It's a headline story on the OS, if they think it's that important who are we to argue?

It's an interesting read, though short of any real substance. I guess it indicates he won't be leaving over the summer at least (if he has any choice that is).

 

Okay then, that was a pretty convincing argument. I'm sold.

 

It's an interesting read, good enough for OS then its good enough for on here.

 

Pretty sure I read the same interview a couple of weeks ago somewhere?

Wait. I am stupid. 2nd line confirms this. That shows me for skipping the intro lol.

 

It was originally in the Stoke programme... maybe that is where?

 

Yeah I just skipped the intro. Would have seen it in the programme. Fail on my part

 

It seems like it was printed in the programme v Stoke. I don't have one because I'm not a brainwashed sheep with no principles etc . I'm not sure if he will stay but I hope he does, definitely a role in the squad for him to play 10-15 games next season. He was the difference between the pretty good Tottenham performance and the mediocre Sunderland/Stoke ones, for example. The usual predictable round of comments on Facebook (and probably Saintsweb?).

 

Guly has had to do it long enough and is comfortable playing there, but he admits: “I’m happy playing further forward. Going through the middle it is easier to score goals.”

This part is key really to his performances. Since he started being used only in wide positions by Adkins last season he's struggled to make an impact in terms of goals and assists.

I have all the home game programmes for the season

 

Guly is entering the final year on his deal. I remember an interview in Brazil, where he said he wished to return to Brazil before retiring.

With that in mind, I'd definitely keep him around the squad next season. Then when his deal elapses, I'd let him move on.

 

In fact I didn't even go to the Stoke game. I'm such an individual free spirit.

 

Do you exist ?

 

I am glad he is staying and I hope he plays more as that will annoy the moaning gits that sit behind me.

 

I really cant see him playing for saints next season, He has the odd good game but if we are supposed to be aiming higher I cant see how he can justify a place in the team. Championship player without a doubt.

 

He doesn't justify a place in the team. I've not seen anyone suggest he does. He justifies a place in the squad though.

If he's committed, happy enough and can do a shift now and then - great. That's all we need for the next year.

 

I still blame Guly for Saints not winning the league. Its a wound that will never heal.

 

Yep, Fair call
