Good, if I was him I would grab it as his chances of getting into the England team are getting slimmer all the time
Before we played Leeds in that first Championship game after promotion , I was discussing the future of Saints players with a bloke. He had a clear idea of footballing talent. Lallana was about to be shown up; Lambert was never going to make it and so on. On Hammond he simply declared that he was "****ing useless" as he always hid during games. He concluded that Saints were going to get stuffed that day. I didn't see the bloke after Hammond's shot put us on the way to a comfortable win. The shake out of players as we moved through the leagues was pretty ruthless, but when people say that Nigel was short-changed I think of the way we treated Dean Hammond.
He went from playing 48 games in the 2011-12 season to just one in 2012-13, in the League Cup, so was literally not given a chance in the PL.
Ralph Krueger is being linked away to a return to NHL......maybe. https://readsouthampton.com/2019/03/08/saints-chairman-krueger-linked-with-nhl-return/
https://southamptonfc.com/news/2019...hampton-tottenham-hotspur-premier-league-1819 In this presser Ralph H mentions a friendly game against a Championship team? Presumably a behind doors match to fill the gap in the 3 week lay off? https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/1...anny-ings-will-miss-the-match-with-tottenham/
Dear Ralph, I have been looking for signs of insanity in you for a while now. Well here we are. You must tell me which Championship team is going to want to send its boys out for a kickabout at SMS? There is almost no such thing as mid-table safety in the Championship at this time of the season with play offs to chase and relegation to avoid. But hey, you probably know more than me. I look forward to the press release that says James Ward Prowse sustained an injury playing in a friendly. That'll go down well with the fans.
I’d assume it’s the team who are not playing at the weekend for the same reason. The team who were to play Swansea?
Already saw that in a blog last week....yes, I know just a blog, but it doesn't take long for people to sniff round. The author thought Valery wouldn't command the usual Southampton bonus....suggestion was under 3 million. Yeah, right. Do think he needs a contract extension though.
I am thinking, We are waiting to find out if we are staying up before contracts are done, But yes.. He deserves a 5 yr deal.
