Saints enquiring about Stuart Holden
Can't see why they would look seriously at a player who has suffered such a serious injury. Must be better options.
Doesn't mean me wont play and get back to his best, would be good signing for saints because holdens Is a good player
He's a good player when fit. The Premiership is not somewhere to take a risk and with squads down to 25 players next season can Saints afford to have one place taken up by someone who might break down?
I think there are better options out there, who are not such a risk.
There is a bloke called Drogba..... could get a few goals for us you think?
Nah. Spends too long on the floor. Like having 10 men on the pitch.
There has been a rumour that Saints will make one signing which will make the Premiership sit up and note their serious intent, like they did years ago with Keegan. However, it is probable that the wages for someone like Drogba would preclude him.
Holden would also make Saints much more appealing in the US. Might increase our merchandise revenue quite a lot.
I hope not about 1 signing, might sound good but we would go back down, the least amount of players we would need sign to stay in prem would probably be 3 a right back, attacking mid and winger or centre back
It means that one of the signings will be out of this world! doesn't mean we will only sign one player!
Why he is scottish? {Ed001's Note - he is American, he has US citizenship, not UK.}
If he can recover from his injuries this season this would be a great great buy. Works hard for the team, got pace and creativity, not a massive ego and most importantly from what I know of him he is a top, top guy. Seems very grounded, gets on with fans, great work ethic. I know we want quality footballers but we also want players who will fit into our team and the work ethic and team spirit that already pre-exists and has produced back to back promotions.
Easy to put this rumour down because he isn't a big name, but he was decent in his few games for bolton before he got injured, so if he can recover and put a run of games together I can see him being quality. And, like I said before, all round good lad. Will be relatively cheap too and Bolton prepared to sell. And good to get some N American interest.
Hope this happens.
