I’m always disappointed when I see keyboard warriors knocking Redmond. He made a few nice inroads being deployed in a more central role and I think there’s a lot more to offer once he gets a confidence boosting goal or assist. On another note It was interesting hearing Dean Hammond recognizing Mousa Djenepos overlooked defensive work rate in recent games- known as a flair player, we’re seeing him expand his game with some disciplined defensive performances “against the ball†as Ralph likes to say |
| News Comment | Is the potential takeover going to hinder Saints in the summer transfer market? at 16:03:31
Thanks for the article Arron- nice job. There's not much for us saints fans to do but speculate and anticipate at the moment, and I like reading anything out there about our team. Saints are now at another offseason crossroads but, as was stated by the chairman, we don't need to sell.The squad contract situation is strong. Taking that statement at face value for now, the major hurdle is player unrest. They've had a season of largely unfulfilling,inconsistent football. We have some very good players underperforming or underutilized. Expecting Van Dijk to stay is unrealistic given his profile now, but it's up to him to fight to leave. Saints know his value won't drop if they hold out another season,so could resist all offers in hopes of strengthening the whole team. By all accounts he seems pretty level headed. Van Dijk staying one more year is the part of the key to raising saints image to both the team itself and also us fans and our wider public perception. The other part is an inspiring manager. This transitional period of possible new ownership and possible management changes is very delicate, and the stakes couldn't be higher. What manager, that WE would REALLY want to join us(enough to displace Puel who on paper had a good season, on grass a mostly boring one), until they knew where our ownership was heading? What can the current ownership do until a deal one way or the other for the major ownership stake is settled? |

Our second goal yesterday was a mesmerizing. Redmond comes deep to gather the ball, his low center of gravity used to wonderful effect as he drives, weaves and releases the ball to JWP,who flicks, spins and passes in one masterful motion to Tadic who takes a look and cuts the ball back to the man that started the move,Redmond, then BANG. Utter precision. Team goal of the season for me. Very encouraging for the future |
