The Echo is claiming that he's open to a return to Saints. Yes or no?
For me a yes, he has a wealth of experience and even at 39 he's fit and has another season or two in him. He could even take over as manager if Martin doesn't work out. |  | | |  |

Do you actually mean play??
If you meant to work in Martin's team then I'd say that's a good idea.
If you mean to play, in the Championship at 39 years old I'd have to say that is mental. |  | | |

More for his experience. And maybe a last ditch substitute with ten minutes go to shut a game down.
I did read his wiki profile though, seemed to be giving away a penalty or two late in his career which probably indicates some desperate tackling as he's slowed down a bit.
Still a wealth of experience though. | | | |

Makes a lot of sense for me. He definitely improved the players playing alongside him before and can also act as a mentor/leader - something we have been crying out for for some time. | | | |

Nick's mythical leader at the back... All his dreams would come true if this happened. 😠| | | |

Yes.
Stephens and Bednarek stand in his shadow. | | | |

Of all the posts here, this one perhaps most represents my view, he would be a good organsiser late in a game and certainly could be a good defensive coach.
But the Championship is faster and far more physical than the French League which with the exception of a handful of teams, is not as good a standard as the Championship.
I am also a bit worried that some of his muscles may have been damaged by the wild horses than dragged him kicking and screaming out of St Mary's in 2017. |  |

Still one of the best defenders at St Mary's in recent years. | | | |

Cant argue with that, we have had a few with perhaps better ability & potential, but since he left no one has really matched his consistency and leadership in the centre of our defence | |

If he wanted to do his coaching badges ok, but not playing.
We need a leader like him at the back thats for sure and removal of ALL the numpties at CB last season. [Post edited 8 Jul 2023 18:31]
