Andy_Porter Posted 27 January, 2010 Share Posted 27 January, 2010 Excellent winger. We need this CM though I've said for a while we've needed either a left winger or an attacking midfielder. If we have Puncheon wide left and Waigo or Antonio on the right which free's up Lallana to play through the middle. Those three playing behind Lambert with two from Schneiderlin, Wotton, James and Hammond playing slightly deeper depending on the oppositon. Lets go back to 4-5-1 and we will start dominating games again with that setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Porter Posted 27 January, 2010 Share Posted 27 January, 2010 So Waigio might as well return to Italy as suggested by Alpine Mind you seems a better prospect than some of our recent signings Puncheon is left footed, I'd imagine it will be Holmes who loses out the most, although I can't see Waigo staying after his loan runs out.

S-Clarke Posted 27 January, 2010 Share Posted 27 January, 2010 So Waigio might as well return to Italy as suggested by Alpine Mind you seems a better prospect than some of our recent signings he's more a left-sided winger, primarily left-footed i think. Stops us having to play Lallana on the left hopefully. *edit - i keep being beaten to it today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StD Posted 27 January, 2010 Share Posted 27 January, 2010 Sky Sports News understands Southampton have agreed a deal with Plymouth Argyle for winger Jason Puncheon. The 23-year-old is currently on loan at Southampton's League One rivals MK Dons and scored in a 3-1 defeat at St Mary's earlier in the season. However, his time at MK Dons could be cut short after Saints boss Alan Pardew stepped in with a bid for the wide man. Plymouth are understood to have accepted Saints' offer for Puncheon, who has scored seven goals in 31 appearances for MK Dons. Though the Pilgrims have concurred on terms with Southampton, it is thought MK Dons would also have to agree to rip up the current loan arrangement. Puncheon has been attracting a wealth of interest during the January transfer window with Steve McClaren's FC Twente among his admirers. Championship trio Watford, Reading and Blackpool have been monitoring his situation, while Charlton Athletic and Leeds United have been linked with bids. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11719_5889206,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 27 January, 2010 Share Posted 27 January, 2010 If true this would be a fantastic signing !!!!!! Though if MK's had the choice of whether or not to rip his contract up why would they ??

I think the O'hara deal is more worrying. He has been very good for them and now they won't have to play Papa Booba Diop, who is possibly the worst player in the Premiership at this moment in time. After last night I am starting to get very worried about eh Derby game. I hope they sell Kaboul as he holods things together at the back for them and losing him would give us half a chance.

SuperSAINT Posted 27 January, 2010 Share Posted 27 January, 2010 Superb signing Saints!! Certainly never saw this coming (This season anyway ) TOP player at this level. Scores goals, creates, good left foot on corners and especially free-kicks (Will have to fight Lambo for those though). Wow, I wonder if that's it for signings? Or if he's considered the 'playmaker' we've been after? Props to Bailey on here who said 5 players would be coming in this window! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 27 January, 2010 Share Posted 27 January, 2010 Maybe a decent player but like I said on a thread earlier it will be just one more player and then just one more again and again with AP, he obsessed with buying players who we have no real need of.

saint-luco Posted 27 January, 2010 Share Posted 27 January, 2010 sooo if he is on a season long loan then he isnt ours until the summer..unless Plymouth had a recall clause or pardew does'nt want him to stop us getting to wembley ala fergie, when he brought andy cole. i dont think he really wanted him, just wanted to stop him scoring for newcastle. how much would he cost? how much would saints make if we got to the jpt final?

So we're going to pay money for him and then sit him on the bench to watch Lallana,Lambert,Antonio and Barnard play all the attacking roles?
