More stories about: Marek Saganowski
ALAN Pardew has admitted there is no place for Marek Saganowski in his vision of Saints.
The Polish international has not even made the bench over the past couple of months.
That is a far cry from his desperation to move on from Saints in the summer to protect his international career.
Pardew has been keen to trim down his squad, but that has not proved easy.
Saganowski is one player who is not in Pardew’s long term plans and will be sold – if he can find himself another club.
Pardew said: “Saganowski’s career is elsewhere from here at this time.
“It’s pretty evident to him because he hasn’t been on the bench and he is doing everything he can to find himself a club.
“The climate is not easy at the moment for any player, whether you are a non-league player or an international player, to get a club that is willing to take any more personnel.
“It’s difficult for him and I feel for him because he’s been good and proper around the training ground every day and he’s not caused me one problem.
“But I don’t see him in my vision and therefore we are looking, and he is looking, for a club.”

At the end of the day he would have played for Saints had he been able to score goals...but he can't do it in this division so is well passed his best. He doesn't have the pace or the intelligent movement that Connolly possesses. Saints need another quality striker in the mould of Ricky...Patterson needs to be loaned out as well to see if he can cut it...

Do think that Saints need another quality striker, but don't underestimate young Paterson, he is a very good talent and if he didn't have the likes of Lambert, Papa, Connolly and Adam in front of him would be playing first team football now. If he's not involved much after Christmas think he will go out on loan then. Saga had the chance to go to Notts County - probably thought it was beneath him.

I think it will always be a case of what might have been for Saga. Somepeople have a winning mentality that fits with their ability. Unfortunalty the Saga had great ability but low expectations and a poor work ethic. In the end the memory wont be of his first 10 games, his partnerships with Bale and Surman but and a few special touches. It will be of a slightly overweight player constantly running into cul-de-sac's and some pretty embarrassing dives. sw=past-blue Perhaps were getting crouch back

This is great news. Saga is a financial migrant who is only interested in his next deal. When he was a loan player he was excellent for saints but as soon as the deal was signed he just sat back and took the wage. This unfortunately is too common in football now players who just sponge of the clubs with little interest in giving 100% effort on the pitch. Goodbye Saga the Saints will not miss you. Infact we should have a whip around for his flight out of Southampton

I have no problem with Saga, anymore than I have with the current crop of mercenaries - no matter where they are from. If someone offered you stupid £s to do your job, do not pretend you would not take it.
I have some sympathy for Saga. Who knows what personal circumstances were behind his apparent disillusion? It was a thankless task being a target man for the naive and uncreative team we used to have, and the saints crowd is typically unforgiving; we cannot expect non-local players to have allegiance other than to the players they find themselves with, and a manager's style of football, rather than the club.

I do feel for poor old Marek, because him and Kelvin nearly single handedly kept us up last year. So I feel for him, but we have Lord Richie, Connolly, Paterson, Lallana can play a more attacking role, and Kayne McLaggon come back from injury, so he is 4th or 5th choice at the moment with a League One club not amazing news if he wants to be playing International football. So he will have to probably look elsewhere for first choice football, and it would help our wages even though we have Lord Markus' generious money. Marek it has been a pleasure having you as a striker over these 3 seasons. You have been a fan favourite ever since you got here, where we can't say that for some other players. I would love to see you playing first team football with a new club hopefully in England still, so we still hear your progress.
Good luck and thank you, on behalf of me and the entire Southampton Football Club Supporters.

I think the poles lost faith with us over the last year. Now we have lost faith with them. The hand was there and Saga could have taken it, yet he wanted away. It isn't the sort of player we want here. Instead we lost Surman who would have stayed. But because if he didn't leave the club it would of been dead. We needed his money to pay the club wages. Yes he went to the premiership, but home is where your heart is and to lose a player like that is a tragedy. Was last season his best, no it wasn't, he was another young kid leading others. What did anyone expect. I bet you would of seen the best of him in this side and yes I do think he would of got in it.
