Boruc Pens Saints Deal

 

Saints can announce the signing of Polish goalkeeper Artur Boruc until the end of the season, subject to international clearance.

 

The 32-year-old stopper, who was a free agent after leaving Fiorentina in the summer, agreed terms with the Club after watching part of today's 4-1 win over Aston Villa.

 

As a free agent, Boruc was able to sign for a team outside of a Transfer Window and Saints will now add him to their Premier League Squad List.

 

Boruc exclusively told saintsfc.co.uk: "I'm looking forward to playing in the best league in the world while I'm playing here at Southampton.

 

"I missed football, so I'm really glad that I'm here and I've finally found the club I was looking for.

 

"My dreams are coming true," he added of the opportunity to play in England.

 

"I've been talking about this for a long time, and finally I'm here in the Premier League."

 

Boruc becomes the third senior goalkeeper at St Mary's, joining Kelvin Davis and Paulo Gazzaniga in battling for the number one jersey.

 

And the Pole is looking forward to the challenge of getting into Nigel Adkins' starting line-up: "We'll see what's going to happen over the next couple of weeks," he said.

 

"I'll give 100% and try to get in goal for Southampton. I like challenges and I'm an ambitious guy, so that'll be good for everybody."

 

First Team Manager Adkins welcomed his new signing, saying: "We're very pleased.

 

"Artur has great experience from Celtic and Fiorentina, and from playing from the national team in Poland.

 

"He now gives us a third goalkeeper in the building, which is important because the potential for injuries and people getting sent off means we have to cover ourselves. He gives us great back-up and competition.

 

"Paulo is a very young goalkeeper and he did ever-so-well for us today, and everyone knows how much I rate Kelvin – what a great character he is and how important he's been in what we've done here at Southampton.

 

"Artur now comes in as a third goalkeeper with a vast amount of experience."

Thank goodness I won't have to watch Davis anymore. Sad for him, but probably for the best. The reactions had gone. And that was pretty much his game.

This is a fantastic signing.

 

Just read that Stephen Warnock has gone to Bolton on loan. Always rated him. Shame we're not allowed to sign players on loan as he could've done a great job at LB for us.

 

Yeah, saw that the other day. Would have been a cracking LB to have.

Football Manager says he has poor concentration & is very eccentric, on that basis I'd rather re-sign Alan Blayney......

 

But seriously this is a great signing & another 'problem position' sorted. Will this mean we loan Gazza out? It would be far more beneficial having him play regular football as opposed to sitting on the bench.

From what I've seen of him he's a good signing (can't say I've seen him that much though). Does anyone know how good he is with his feet? Its quite essential for our style of play that our goallie is capable of controlling the ball with his feet and passing it out (instead of randomly hoofing it).

Interesting choice. Is he still any good? He used to be immense...

 

He was immense for Foritentina last season.

 

This signing has shocked me, totally out of the blue.

 

Thanks for everything Davis, but it's good to see the club have acted to sort our clear shortcomings in that area.
