You mean when Radlinski had retired? or the 1/2 dozen games he played back end of 2006 on 1 leg!

I'll agree with you there! About that time Wellens was better than him, 2004 and earlier there's only 1 winner!

And now a word from our sponsors......................................

Feck off knobs, hands off wello. He is still the best British full back. Briscoe, Briscoe, wouldnt shat on him. I fully support Wello until some body British replaces him pound for pound, and position for position. The rest is currently just Rhetoric!!!

2010 is his last contracted season I believe.

I have never been his greatest fan. He has always been an average player who has played beyond is natural ability and skill.

But

He is still our best option at full back. Maybe Lomax or even some else i.e. Foster, will eventually replace him but not for the start of the new season. As the season progresses this could change.

As for people that say Wellens should be played at 3, 4 or 13, that IMO is a complete not starter. He simply doesn't have the skill set to play for us in these positions.

If Wello does not play for Saints at full back then he does not play for saints.

I don't see why not, it's not like we've got any squad depth in the backs is it.

Paul Wellens has played on the wing and at centre at international level.

Sounds like that player will be slow too then.
