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.

He's left footed isn't he?! Happy with JPM to be honest. And She-ra will suffice.

JPM plays on the right?

I think both 'wingers' we have are better than Lee Holmes.

I loved Lee Holmes when he was here, What a hero.

Don't think we'll get him or generally need him.

Holmes is far better than any wainger currently at the club.

How come he's 'surplus to requirements' somewhere else then ?

Sam Parkin was quite good when he was here originally too.

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.

I remember him scoring a few and being the best player for Walsall before moving on too.

If he is not wanted at Southampton we have got to try and sign him perfect replacement for McNamee.

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.

Indeed. Played really well for them here and scored from a free-kick if I remember rightly?

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.

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.

Seeing as Wilson seems to have a knack of getting the best out of his players, I'd sign him up tomorrow.

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.
