Gus said this morning Saints more important than Palace for him.

[Deleted User X18H]

Didn't want to talk about injuries but said Tano is almost first choice for full back position if fit.

Oh dear

 

[Superphil]

nothing

I know I will get shouted down for this but have on very good authority (cliche I know, but was an El Abd family memeber)that Adam will be back in contention for the Cov game, which I think is excellent news

 

[Icy Gull]

did he qualify it by finishing the sentence with "this Saturday"?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

It is more important, because the Palace game is HISTORY. The next game is always more important.

Brilliant news if true.
Will hopefully be back to his ankle-biting best and give that bit of strength that we need in the side.

He's had a really rotten time since being voted Player of the Season last year and must be chomping at the bit to set foot on that Amex pitch.
He'll get a hell of a reception when he does.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I will bite.

[Surrey_Albion]

Apparently, and I hate saying this because of some of the nonsense on here, Gus didnt want him involved with S'oton game because he is expecting a physical game so Adam would be saved for Cov, Agree cant wait to see him run out at the Amex he fully deserves it

 

[leigull]

I wouldn't read too much into HB&B's comments as they lack any sort of context and he's doing his usual drip feed of little bits of information to make himself seem more important

Absolutely hkfc. Gus does seem to have a bee in his bonnet about Nadkins though.

Yep agree with Gus, Saints are the bench mark of the division, the team we have 'to keep up with', to be near the top, while the palace defeat was a poor game, getting a result at Southampton is a bigger achievement as they are a far bigger/better club than palace, who I don't really care about, West Ham/Portsmouth are a way above them in the teams I want to see us beat.

The reason Gus want's this game more is for his own personal reasons. I personally know a highly ranked member of staff within st mary's (family friend), who stated that Gus was one of the three names on our shortlist, along with Howe and Adkins. Adkins got the job, which Gus was not at all impressed with and since has held a personal grudge with Cortese. I don't believe he dislikes the club, I believe it is Cortese that he is wanting to get one over on.


Don't take this as gospel as I don't know if this is 100% correct, however I wouldn't doubt my contact so expect that this is very, very likely. For Gus, Saint's, so long as Cortese is in charge will be the club he want's to get one over.

Andy Naylor tweeted that Gus said Saints game "bigger" than the Palace game. To the team it is, they are top of the table and the team to beat, thats always going to be a big game for the players and manager.

Interesting, as that would have meant Gus leaving us for Southampton

 

[Danny-Boy]

Shatkins did wind up Gus last season with some remarks, it seems a bit like a Venners/Mullers rivalry is developing.

Gus however gets on well with Dougie, they were on the same FA coaching course.

Even if that's not true, his first game was against them, so it will always mean more, anyway.

I find that highly unlikely as Gus had been here about half a season before Pardew was sacked and achieved nothing apart from avoiding relegation, I doubt he would have been allowed to attend an interview tbh. Adkins had proved his credentials with Scunthope's promotion, Gus had proved nothing and Saints were desperate to get out of League 1. Far too risky to have appointed Gus at that stage..again imo

Don't believe that.

Don't believe that Gus would have moved sideways at that point, given his relationship with Bloom.

Also don't believe that Gus had proved himself enough at that point in time, that Saints would even have been interested.
