Saints fans are asking whats happened to Anthony Pulis

Its fair to say that many Saints fans questioned the wisdom of signing Ant Pulis from Stoke, his pedigree in football was non existent and at 24 he hadnt even started his own age in career games and most of these were at a lower level.

But the wisdom of signing him in our current financial predicament becomes even more baffling when you look at the options we have in midfield, Pulis will be lucky to get a game in the reserves to be blunt.

But its that financial predicament thats more worrying, presumably we now have him on our books and have been paying him since August, this being the case and bearing in mind that Jan Poortvliet has mentioned that he expects him to be available in 5-6 weeks, why on earth did we bother signing him at all.

Either our medical staff are incapable of diagnosing the extent of an injury and the healing time correctly or we have money to burn, by Poortvliets guess he will be back around Xmas, so why didnt we wait until the January transfer window before getting him on the strength, when we were sure that he was fully fit.

The money we are currently paying out for his wages could have been better spent on bringing in a decent full back on loan, a position we are dreadfully short in.

Once again the Club needs to start telling the fans the reasoning behind some of its decisions,
