pressingon Posted 16 January, 2012 Share Posted 16 January, 2012 Looks like he could be a great addition and with Lee joining and when we have Sir Rickie, Chappers and Fonte back suddenly we will have a few options again, the bench has looked a bit weak recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 16 January, 2012 Share Posted 16 January, 2012 Great deal by the club. Only concern is what Harry wants from us. Is it a certain youth player? Don't trust saggy chops an inch. Clubs generally loan players out for their own reasons (give experience or lighten wage bill), it's not for doing other clubs favours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 16 January, 2012 Share Posted 16 January, 2012 I can't say that I'm wowed by this signing as he's moved around an awful lot for a 21 year old. Suggests he wasn't good enough for Barca and Juve or has an attitude problem of some sort and they both got rid of him because of it. Not good enough for Juve or Barca? Get him out, he'll never cut it in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 16 January, 2012 Share Posted 16 January, 2012 So that's our winger/creative midfielder then. I was hoping for Matt Phillips from Blackpool on a permanent, Jonjo Shelvey on loan from Liverpool or Soriano from Barca B on loan when someone said Spanish! . They say he can play in lots of positions so I hope he not our 'other striker' as well. I can't say that I'm wowed by this signing as he's moved around an awful lot for a 21 year old. Suggests he wasn't good enough for Barca and Juve or has an attitude problem of some sort and they both got rid of him because of it. I also thought we were supposed to be building a team for the Premiership - a 21 year old Spanish player on loan doesn't quite fit that bill. An 'Arry Redknapp hand-me-down doesn't feel right either. By the time he's adjusted to English football he will be back at Spurs. Where does this leave us with Puncheon as it doesn't look like he going anywhere is part exchange - or get a place in the team. I think we'll end up selling him to Blackpool for something far short of what we'd hoped for. It also looks like we don't actually have a lot of money to spend - or wont spend it if we do. It will be loans for us I think. Matthew Kilgallon, Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Adam Hammill on loan anyone? So many bull**** assumptions here....sigh...

Legod Third Coming Posted 16 January, 2012 Share Posted 16 January, 2012 Yago Falqué WTF!! A Spurs reject where the hell is Hooper!!! Hello. A Celtic reject is the best centre back in the Championship. We scored three goals without Hooper. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ART Posted 16 January, 2012 Share Posted 16 January, 2012 I guess Southampton's nearer to Sandbanks than north London. Sandra's always number one in Harry's thoughts. I guess Iago is problably one of Sandra's toy boy acquisitions from her holidays in Spain. As long as he doesn't come with Kevin Bond's blessings and a Ides of March curse tag.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 16 January, 2012 Share Posted 16 January, 2012 The only thing that troubles me about this signing is whether it is Iago or Yago. I see plenty of evidence for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 16 January, 2012 Share Posted 16 January, 2012 So we have Adam on the left and a faster Adam on the right. Sweet.

saints_is_the_south Posted 16 January, 2012 Share Posted 16 January, 2012 11 goals in 36 games from attacking midfield in the Spanish 2nd division for Villareal B seems pretty decent, anybody know the quality of their 2nd div? Sounds highly rated although apart from that stint at Villareal B, hasn't played an awful lot of 1st team games in his career. Will be interesting to see how he gets on.

CB Fry Posted 16 January, 2012 Share Posted 16 January, 2012 If West Ham or Cardiff had signed this kid then plenty on here would be spitting blood. So that's good enough for me. Hopefully he's got a bit of pace. Plus, as well as giving us another option, he might help improve De Ridder's game - he's got some real competition for his role now.

ART Posted 16 January, 2012 Share Posted 16 January, 2012 I was only being first on the latest bandwagon for a war amongst Saints supporters over how his name is pronounced. Yago is the Italian version of the name Iago so this is Saintswebs World War 3 topic in the coming months. I'm sure he'll end up being called Fred once everyone's seen him play.

DT Posted 16 January, 2012 Share Posted 16 January, 2012 If it is Iago, it is almost certainly the first Shakespearian character we have ever signed. I think Romeo Beckham will be the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 16 January, 2012 Share Posted 16 January, 2012 Wouldn't get too excited about this until i've seen him play , we have had too many loan players over the years who have had no impact, and the last one from spurs Tomas Perkhart is a good example, he was dreadful. If he has pace that is a good start, we definitely lack that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfc4prem Posted 16 January, 2012 Share Posted 16 January, 2012 Gutted we don't have a view to buy, but he is a promising talent so I didn't really expect it. Perhaps if he enjoys his time here on loan we can link up with him again and buy him on the sly when a few years down the line he isn't getting first team action. One or two more signings I reckon, one loan one permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSaint Posted 16 January, 2012 Share Posted 16 January, 2012 Harry wants his player to get games in a team that plays decent footy which will improve Falque. I suspect you're dead right, and letting us aid in the development of a player of his supposed calibre is a reflection of the respect that Spurs and Harry actually have for Adkins and our style of football. He could have gone to WHU and learnt next door to SFA, other than how to watch the ball fly over his head en route to the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
