What rumours? There were off the pitch issues going on. Punch admitted that himself. And that's why cortese tried to flog him in Jan.
2nd half Saints team: Gazzaniga; Richardson, Fonte, Seaborne, Harding; Chambers, Hammond, Chaplow, Shaw; Guly, Sharp.
Personally I disagree. I don't think he was picked because it was generally considered he was on his way out at the time. Also because other players deserved the places because of previous performances, which punch wasn't given the oppertunity to have. On ability I would rate him above chaplow and De ridder by quite a way
Sorry, but Puncheon is not good enough for our team and our ambitions. He couldn't get into a struggling QPR side last year, and he has never had even one stand-out game for us. What exactly does he bring to the team? Nope, please do not base anything of pre-season, it's just for fitness. I thought that was one of the 'givens' of football.
It was obvious when Puncheon did play, he was short of match fitness by a long way and that is the reason he didn't play much (I suspect) We'll see more of him this season, especially with 7 subs and an impressive pre-season under his belt
haha, I know that bit. What I meant to say was how to get it big without clicking, like the 'ball in the goal earlier' on the post.
Well at least someone sees sense. Thank you. I can name seven or eight of our midfielders I'd have in the team before him.
