White returns to Saints and is aiming to impress
11:12am Wednesday 6th January 2010 in
STRIKER Jamie White is on his way back to Saints after a three month loan with Blue Square South promotion hopefuls Eastleigh.
Ex-Saint Ian Baird, manager of the non-League side, had been keen to keep the 20-year-old for the rest of the campaign.
But after two injury-wrecked seasons, Harefield-based White wants to show Saints boss Alan Pardew what he is capable of before his contract runs out in July.
“It’s a weird one really,” said Baird.
“I said to Jamie that I would like to keep him at Eastleigh, but after three months we can’t loan him month-to-month any more and we would have to take him until the end of the season.
“Jamie’s taken advice off his agent and he wants to give himself every chance of impressing the new manager (Pardew) and I don’t blame him for that.
“He’s been out injured for a long time and he wants to give it a bit of a crack there.”

He picked up the bits and bobs that occurred and scored goals! It remains to be seen if Pericard is capable of creating bits and bobs! Maybe AP thinks this is another possible option. I like the thought of Rickie getting the ball, facing the goal about 25 yards out! The boy can shoot! I'm loving the gossip and rumours! Happy days indeed! COYR!
Morning Dan:) Don't know too much about White but certainly wish him well with his future. As posed above, it will be difficult for him to get into the Saints squad with new signings coming in this transfer period. Pericard looks to be a cert:( COYRS!!

He might not score many, but Heskey doesn't score many either, but everyone seems to like playing next to him - maybe RL & DC will feel the same? Probably Pardew has discussed this with them.
Hell, remember that Saga only rally looked a good player next to Kenwyne Jones - maybe that's an alternative front line to give RL & Dc a rest from time to time?
Who knows - the point is that Pardew knows a lot more about football than me, and what he can get out of players, so if he wants to sign him then I'll happily give him the benefit of the doubt.

I thought he was quite good in I'm A Celebrity but surely his best days as a player are behind him? I don't think he ever recovered from letting Hendry back to beat him in the 1992 world championship final.

ship football and I think it's another very shrewd move from AP. Everyone knows Saint's have money and maybe AP's targets have been overpriced and he's not willing to pay over-the-top money for them or AP's transfer targets are not available at present and he will bide his time.

I'm so pleased that we are all having this discution, just think six months ago we would be biting the hand of any player that want's to ware the red and whites.
if he is good then great, but if not let him go, its always funny how many players want to impress the management when their contract is nearly up??? I only wish that they always want to impress all the time, because we are the one's who pay at the turnstiles to watch the flounder about on the pitch. What we got now is a fantastic blend of players who really want to play. I do however remember the loyalty of all who stayed with us when they wernt getting paid. its great being a football fan.
I do wonder about this fit and proper test that the FA set??? i mean Micheal fialka passed? and the arab two also passed? whats going on, I'm no skate lover but do feel pity for them. I hope they don't go bust because i'll miss our rivalry. come on jobless sort it out or thats what you'll be?
I think as we all have to pay a membership to be part of the FA, they should be held responsible for when clubs are in trouble. They were quick to give us a minus 10 when we were in admin, but yet to dish out any point deductions to a club who have failed to pay their staff 3 times in 4 months.
Lets dream of a fantastic 2010, COYR! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!

I am a season ticket holder in the northam and am pleased with the new regime thus far.But.....call me a fantasist and slap me round the backside but i really believe we CAN make the play-offs.(you gotta keep believing right).but my concern is this.we need for sure a right back,a centre back and a striker as a matter of urgency as we are playing huddersfield this sat.Now i would of thought that pardew would of been looking around for the last 3 months and the very minute the window opened he would woft the cash around.i mean southend would snap your weak wrist off for 800,000 for barnard.I cannot see what the hold up is there.But either way ill be there on sat singing my arshavin off.saints till i die my hard rocking amigos.peace out.

There will always be negotiations with every transfer as each side battles for the best deal. Unfortunately these things just aren't instant, it's not like buying a new TV from Curry's!
Hi guys,
I am a season ticket holder in the northam and am pleased with the new regime thus far.But.....call me a fantasist and slap me round the backside but i really believe we CAN make the play-offs.(you gotta keep believing right).but my concern is this.we need for sure a right back,a centre back and a striker as a matter of urgency as we are playing huddersfield this sat.Now i would of thought that pardew would of been looking around for the last 3 months and the very minute the window opened he would woft the cash around.i mean southend would snap your weak wrist off for 800,000 for barnard.I cannot see what the hold up is there.But either way ill be there on sat singing my arshavin off.saints till i die my hard rocking amigos.peace out.
I do hope we get some signings soon, but I am happy to wait another week or so for the right player, rather than rush in and buy the first player that accepts a deal just because we have a match on Saturday. Don't forget our current bunch have been doing exceptionally well of late and have only lost at 2 hard fought away matches against arguably the 2 most in form teams of the league.
There is no reason why we can't beat Huddersfield with the current setup.

Rather a local lad with a passion for The Saints than a tired old "journeyman" like Pericard. He was such a dissapointment during Nigel's tenure that most people can't even remember seeing him play.

Jamie White was one of the Academies brightest prospects but his progress has been hampered by injuries. He is a natural goalscorer and if he is given an opportunity to regain his form and confidence he just might save the club some money. Rather a local lad with a passion for The Saints than a tired old "journeyman" like Pericard. He was such a dissapointment during Nigel's tenure that most people can't even remember seeing him play.
