Harlee Dean

[The Pipe]

Have been really impressed with this young man in the 3 games I have seen him play, Barnett, Hartlepool and Bury and beleive he will grow into an acomplished footballer however I doubt that he will get into the Saints team for some time so may be available for us.

Karleigh I beleive is still remembered for some of the mistakes when he was coming through the ranks and playing in very dodgy defences, we have seen that he is a footballer and will, I beleive, have a good future in the game, for his benefit a move may be good as some will always harp in about the past, if he were to leave then Dean would be an ideal replacement, whether we would get much cash remains to be seen however if Charlton are interested I suggest that for all concerned a move would be good, cash for the club and potential championship football for Karleigh, probably on better money!!

 

[KGB]

Agree totally.

KO will never be fully accepted at BFC & will be much more appreciated elsewhere. Given some of the abuse he has suffered over the last few years, I would not blame him for going, especially if he can earn substantially more.

If we could use the money productively to strengthen elsewhere it would make sense.

Great interview, seems a level headed young man. Would be great if we could keep him longer.

Also nice to hear what he says about the fans, hope all take note

Could the Sammy Wood song be used for him?

 

[Orp_Bee]

Agreed, I really like the honesty regarding the dive as well. Be happy to see him at the club past Jan.

 

[Brentford 4 Life]

Dean has the potential to be much better than Karliegh because he is still only 20. I wouldnt mind too much if Karliegh goes (providing we get a fair fee) and he is replaced by Harlee.

 

[Balders Bee]

Early days yet but the signs are very promising. Haven't a clue how he is regarded at Saints or chances of a longer loan. Many will disagree but I would like to see how he goes alongside Eger as a partner. They looked pretty good against Barnet (admittedly not saying a lot).

 

[jlove]

I'd imagine that Saints would allow a longer spell and I've also though that he and Eger would make our best' footballing' centre-back pairing.

 

[brighton bee]

Maybe on the way back? On the bench today and Bennetts return seems to suggest that in my opinion

[Orp_Bee]

Suprised that there isnt really anything coming from the club about Harlee. I think hes been great and id be delighted to see him stay, especially if we lose Karleigh, but all seems silent.

 

[jlove]

Current loan isn't up until after Tranmere...

 

[Orp_Bee]

Well yeah true but generally id have thought if we wanted to keep him we would have said something by now e.g. the story that appeared saying were looking to keep Bidwell.

Great news. Would play him at Right back because he is comfortable getting forward and looks better than Logan. That would also allow us to play Eger and Legge in the middle.

I wouldn't drop Logan or Bennett for Dean at right back.

Dean will cover CB and also CM. As has been mentioned already, maybe a defensive midfielder, in a 5 man midfield.

??? I can't see it. Great news if true then hopefully a perm signing for next season.

I agree. I don't know about the long run, but currently Logan is out of form and maybe the number of games he's played is catching up with him given his injury/age. Bennett did OK at right-back against Charlton, but I think Dean is the better option while we give Logan a break.

Confirmed now Another good bit of housework done, maybe this news isn't as exciting as 'NEW STRIKER!' but it's important in ensuring we have a solid base and foundation as a team.

Got it now........... really great bit of news. I have been very impressed with him so far.

Forgot about Bennett tbh but from what i have seen i prefer Dean who also is fitter and sharper atm. Logan has been poor except at Bury and Rochdale since he has returned imo.

 

[GP200]

.............good stuff.............now to try him in midfield.............

 

[Balders Bee]

Good news I think, hope it's not the curse of the Loanee that he now has a big dip in form.

 

[shouldbee]

Very good bit of business, at last we have a Centre back who can pass and run with the ball. I think he has the potential to be top player.....

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Dean is not a right back

Looked very good at centre half and appears to be good with the ball at his feet!

 

[magicbees]

Thank goodness for one decent signing.

What's the matter with the other 2 ???

 

[Bridge Bee]

Good news, have been impressed and hopefully we pick him up at the end of the season.

 

[beebopalula]

I like him. My only slight concern is that he got caught out a couple of times against Muff where he didn't pick up a mobile striker who made intelligent runs. Hope he learned to look over his shoulder for the man and cuts out the ball watching.

 

[Stanley]

Good signing, really hope we could get him permanently.

 

[mundee4england]

Good signing, really hope we could get him permanently.

Agreed, do we know if his Saints contract is up at the end of the season?

 

[NorthamptonBee]

He got better as the game went on, he was one of the few that did IMO.

 

[readingbee]

If you watch his interview when he first signed IMHO it was fairly obvious that he knows he isn't going to make there. Lets hope that the Saints fans are having the same debate about him in a couple of years time that is going on about Grabban by some posters

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Great news

Looks like a solid defender plus a decent footballer

 

[Newbury Bee 09]

Good news

 

[CTBee]

Glad we've signed Harlee until the end of the season and I hope it becomes permanent he has the potential to be a top CB IMO and would like to see him and Leon be the CB pairing at BFC for years to come.

 

[Orp_Bee]

Yep it is. Signed a two year contract in August 2010: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2136827,00.html

 

[Ambrose_1889]

Should be a decent replacement for Karleigh...

 

[love and mercy]

Be prepared to wait til Jan

Its January

 

[JTofBFC]

Its January

He has been decent so far. He is 20 and had a bad game. Move on !

 

[love and mercy]

eger is better

 

[Malcybee]

From what Ive seen Legge and Eger should be our centre backs pairing. I like Marcel's technical ability.

 

[Stanley]

Quite. Two errors of judgement today led to two goals but I lilked the way he stuck at it and didn't drop his head,
He would have learnt from the likes of Woodman and Legge today on how to play those conditions.

uwe doesnt like eger everybody gets in front of him .
Eger must wonder why on earth he came here same as Grella

Glad to hear that. I think this lad has good potential, so hopefully he'll learn from today...

 

[love and mercy]

is It possible that we might sign him ?
If not why are we bringing players on for other club's to benefit .
Leaving our own players unhappy and sitting on the bench .It really pisses me off

You need to understand the balance between the loan system and having all of your own players. A club in our position can't afford not to use the loan system . Particularly when a new manager has something like 19 players under contract who were signed by the previous manager. It is obvious he will want to bring in his own players and use of the loan system is part of the way to do that and also a way of looking at them before they are signed. You won't find many lower league sides who don't have 3 or 4 loan players at this time of year. It is part of football. Of course if you borrow players then you can't leave them out of the side. You can rotate them like has happened with Bidwell and Dean but you can't leave them benchwarming otherwise they will get recalled. Its a difficult exrcise for someone like Rosler to get the balance right and I don't disagree we might be better with less disruption in the defence but its part and parcel of the game . Its not as simple as play your own players and be done with as some seem to suggest.

 

[love and mercy]

but we dont need Harlee when Eger is fit
Why get Eger in on contract and play loan signings ahead of him unless Eger is poor which he is not

Eger is unhappy? You know this? This pisses you off?

As Karleigh is off, we have only two fully contracted CBs i.e Legge and Eger [ I'm discounting Pim]. I'm certain that afetr his loan period, Dean will be offered a contract next season if he plays well. I think Bennett is a stopgap to give Logan competition while O'Connor is recovering. It seems that Legge is the permanent selection and Uwe uses Dean or Eger depending on the physical nature of the oppo. I expect them to rotate depending on who we are playing.

I understand the logic but Sheff Weds were very physical and Eger did well. I was surprised he didn't play today, but that's not a stick to beat either Dean or Uwe with. Just one of those things that was tried and didn't quite come off.
