Guly signs contract extension
11:03am Sunday 15th July 2012 in Saints News
Guly do Prado
Guly do Prado has signed a one-year contract extension to keep him at Saints until 2014.
The Brazilian was entering the last year of his contract but Saints have moved to ensure the 30-year-old remains at St Mary’s for at least another two years.
Do Prado has earned mixed reviews from fans since joining from Cesena following a loan spell that started two years ago, with some loving the South American’s style and others not so keen.
He has been utilised both as a striker and a right sided midfielder and has scored 22 goals in 85 appearances for Saints thus far.

From the 45 mins I saw of him yesterday against very good opponents he didn't look out of place especially given his comparable lack of fitness.

However, regarding Chaplow: I think he's going to surprise a few people - I think he's going to rise to the challenge and become a premier league quality player, I see a lot of promise in that guy still to come.

Good to read this news, I think he will do well in the Prem. Also thanks to the above posters for your thoughtful comments, truly a breath of fresh air.
Alas, the day is young, I doubt everyone will be as thoughtful and objective as those above have been.

Everyone makes the odd mistakes, but in my reading Guly is always trying to do play the right ball, while others in the team might not share his vision so clearly and turn what was good intention into bad result. Hopefully with better players around him, and more time and space, he will show his class.
But, and it's a big but, the Guly-baiters need to know that you reap what you sow, and if they rain down disaproval from the terraces, any player would drop his head. Be Saintly!

Nice to see Seabourne back, but time is moving on and no keeper or CB has arrived.
.
I would happy with Rod, Buttner, Davies, Clyne, Zaha, a CB and a GK.
.
A year to consolidate, we will then attract better players and then we move onwards and upwards

Le Tiss was the most gifted player I have ever seen in our shirt, but some would grumble about his work ethic and would say he was lazy. Berbatov, ask Spurs and Man U fans the result is the same.
Benali was one of the least talented players I saw play in our shirt, his distribution out of defence was shocking. However, he was a Southampton boy and his work ethic was admirable. He also divided our opinions.

He is not perfect but he is a far better player than he is given credit for. Yes there are times when he seems not involved. Overall he deserves this and whilst the criticisms will remain, the ball into space and the defence, splitting pass, the ability to read the game and think ahead of the game are all criteria that are going to be crucial in the premiership if we are to survive.
One or two have moaned about our performance against Anderlecht, yet take into consideration that was our first pre season friendly and their sixth.
There was an article on the games yesterday in the mail. Very Arsenal biased surprise surprise.

This was always going to happen, NA rates him. He has the flair to excite and the laid back attitude to frustrate. Agreed he is an enigma. Yet there must be times when he gets frustrated. he often thinks ahead of his team mates and lays off balls or makes positions that are not exploited by those around him. For example how many times has he made a run from a good position and we have played an extra pass in midfield instead of sending the through ball, those vital seconds rendering him off side? How many times has he laid a ball into space for the player to run on to and they have not read the game thus leaving it looking his fault?

I sit on the fence as to Guly.
As a centre-forward I think he's truly exceptional.
As a midfielder on a day when he feels like putting in effort I think he's superb.
As a midfielder on the days when he just can't be bothered, we effectively play with ten men.
Hopefully we'll see more of him in the first two roles.
He gets a lot of stick and I think it's because of the days when he just doesn't appear to care at all. It's a terrible shame because, as I say, I believe that when he's trying he's terrific. The problem is that once the crowd's on your back it takes a lot to get them to see past that on the good days.
NA rates him; I just hope Nigel can lift Guly's attitude to the right level for EVERY game.

All of which I felt was justified.
Guly Do Prado played brilliantly in our promotion game against Coventry.Effort and quality.
I think it was his best game for the club.
I think he gets moved around too much in the team, he seems to get unsetalled by this.
He IMO is not a winger or a centre forward he is an attacking midfield play maker.
If he is played there then I think he can fulfill our hopes for him,he has undoubted quality.
Keep him busy,keep him involved.
Alan Ball made Matt LeTissier a better player this way, so why should it not work for Guly?

Ideally Osgood liked the ball a yard in front of him to run on to. So your momentum is already there. It was one of the reasons we bought Charlie George he had that type of vision. Though Charlie was fated with knee problems. It was Osgood that spent hours helping a young and aspiring Steve Williams become the great player he was for Saints, in reference to where and how to play the ball.
Then came the great Alan Ball who had such an influence on our young midfielders, Holmes, Baker and Williams. For awhile we had a side that boasted 5 home grown players in the first team players. the three above plus Channon and Moran.
Of course that later was bettered by the Le Tiss, Shearer, 3 Wallace brothers, Townsend and Maddison. In the same first team squad.
So I guess in a couple of seasons or so we may find 5 home bred players in the team. Its a hard task but not impossible.

I think Guly's natural position is in the hole behind the striker(s). Unfortunately for him, because of the systems we play, not a position he gets to put into very often. So we don't always see him at his best. But the man has great talent, vision, can pick a pass and score goals. Although at times he is not the quickest over 10 to 15 yards and his concentration is lacking which shows in his first touch. But who hasn't got faults.
Good luck to him this season and can the the 'Wonker' behind me shut the fack up because I've had enough of you!
