Title: Lee Holmes Post by: Berniman on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 11:52:44 A few Sarfampton fans are saying that he is surplus to requirements and will be available in January, What do we reckon?
I think he would be a very decent replacement for Macca. Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: Sippo on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 11:55:44 He's left footed isn't he?! Happy with JPM to be honest. And She-ra will suffice.
Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: Berniman on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 11:58:10 JPM plays on the right?
Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: Sippo on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 12:02:20 I think both 'wingers' we have are better than Lee Holmes.
Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: strooood on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 13:05:26 I loved Lee Holmes when he was here, What a hero.
Don't think we'll get him or generally need him. Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: DMR on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 13:29:45 I think both 'wingers' we have are better than Lee Holmes. Hahahahahahahaha. He was an absolute king when he was here, sign him up. Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 13:43:05 Holmes is far better than any wainger currently at the club.
Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: nevillew on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 14:18:46 How come he's 'surplus to requirements' somewhere else then ?
Sam Parkin was quite good when he was here originally too. Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: Power to people on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 14:21:48 That was quite a few years ago that we had Holmes, depends what his pace and crossing ability is like now that he's older
Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: Arriba on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 14:27:12 his career has been on the slide for a while aint it?
never fulfilled his early promise Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 14:31:45 That was quite a few years ago that we had Holmes, depends what his pace and crossing ability is like now that he's older He never had much pace but his left footed delivery was some of the best I have ever seen in a Town shirt. Hes had a lot of injuries in the last couple of years but is still only 22. A mate of mine who is a Saints fan says he has never settled down there and that Pardew doesnt rate him and also hes on good wages and the Saints need to cut the wage bill before the new owners invest more in the team. Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: Berniman on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 14:33:53 I remember him scoring a few and being the best player for Walsall before moving on too.
Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: bobby on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 14:38:52 If he is not wanted at Southampton we have got to try and sign him perfect replacement for McNamee.
Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 18:43:33 I remember him scoring a few and being the best player for Walsall before moving on too. Remember him scoring a couple at the CG for the Saddlers, in a particularly woeful display from us, season before last. 6 or 7 of that side are still here. The only saving grace from that 3-0 defeat was Mooney didn't score the 3rd. Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 18:44:43 I remember him scoring a few and being the best player for Walsall before moving on too. Indeed. Played really well for them here and scored from a free-kick if I remember rightly? Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: Spencer_White on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 18:50:18 Typical English youth player. Early promise, lots of reserve football. Then all of a sudden, hes in his mid 20's and everyone thinks he's crap.
Derby should have let him go a lot sooner. But he didnt help himself. His record at other clubs doesnt lie and I think we should stear clear. Overrated. Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: DiV on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 18:51:52 He's not even close to his mid 20s.
Was good for us and I'd have back in our squad no problem. Our wingers are JPM, Alan O'Injured, Lloyd Macklin and a left back. Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: Luci on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 19:36:00 Seeing as Wilson seems to have a knack of getting the best out of his players, I'd sign him up tomorrow.
Title: Re: Lee Holmes Post by: Spencer_White on Thursday, December 10, 2009, 20:41:52 Problem with players like this is that they are on the way down. The dream has gone for them. Too much money too young, not enough football.
We need hungry players. He played 15 games for Swindon, and while he was decent, I would say that he didnt make it in some pretty crap Championship sides. The form he showed for us he should be a regular in the league above. Somethings gone wrong and I think he would be an expensive mistake. |
