fish fingers Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Never heard of him. Would have preferred Titus bramble.

Crab Lungs Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/saints-land-lovren-868792.aspx Watches on show!

The Kraken Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Excellent news. Has also played right back and left back for Lyon so he also offers some versatility. Very happy. CB was our posirion in most need of prioritising for improvement and we've done it, and done it early. Well done SFC. A top striker next and the squad is really starting to take shape.
pingwing Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Awesome! Daily Mail hinted at a £12m fee, hope he's the quality cb we have been craving! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2337720/Southampton-want-Lyons-Dejan-Lovren.html Never heard of him. Would have preferred Titus bramble. You'd have preferred a rapist/thief?
beavis17 Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Nice! Out of interest which newspaper/media outlet reported our interest in him first?
trousers Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 @SouthamptonFC: Mauricio Pochettino: "We are very happy because Dejan is a very good player with good potential." #saintsfc #welcomedejan
Batman Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Excellent news. Has also played right back and left back for Lyon so he also offers some versatility. Very happy. CB was our posirion in most need of prioritising for improvement and we've done it, and done it early. Well done SFC. A top striker next and the squad is really starting to take shape. indeed. On the face of it, he is a real step up in quality to the squad.
Saint Garrett Posted 14 June, 2013 Author Posted 14 June, 2013 Quite funny how the watch is a topic of conversation on the video! Any idea of transfer fee? Would assume around £6m?
Saint Charlie Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Kudos to Billy, a genuine ITK! Also Monk whose info was right.
MOSaint Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 France football weekly say the fee is €10m (around £8.5m)
Saint Garrett Posted 14 June, 2013 Author Posted 14 June, 2013 Was last year as well. Fair play to him.
Edmonton Saint Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Anyone know much about his main attributes? Is he quick? as I think pace at the back is a prerequisite with the way Poch will have us playing.
Saint J 77 Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 I don't know anything about this guy, is he the real deal?
Olallana Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Wonder if this ends our interest in Astori? True.....and who of the ones we got at CB will leave first? I would think Jos, even though I think more clubs will be wanting Fonte, specially some in the Championship. (or perhaps back to Palace??)
fish fingers Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Wonder if this ends our interest in Astori? Hope not, would like to see two quality centre halfs brought in.
trousers Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 @RBairner: OFFICIAL: #Lyon centre-back Dejan #Lovren sold to Southampton for €10m. #OL
Matthew Le God Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Lock this please mods. Why? The other thread was discussing the possibility of him signing, this thread has confirmation in the opening post.
LatvianTolix Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Never heard of him. Would have preferred Titus bramble. you joking right? widen you footballing horizon, mate. there are lots of excellent football elsewhere than UK.
RobM Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 I prefer the one that has 'Confirmed' in the title. It's better.
Appy Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Why? The other thread was discussing the possibility of him signing, this thread has confirmation in the opening post. Other threads beat you to it and are more popular.
Andre Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Sounds like a good signing, but unfortunately the end of the line for one of our beloved centre-backs... oh no, wait, Hooiveld can go. Any idea on shirt number?
Saint Garrett Posted 14 June, 2013 Author Posted 14 June, 2013 this is about as deserving of a new thread as the Ramirez leaving one. Really ?
iansums Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Why? The other thread was discussing the possibility of him signing, this thread has confirmation in the opening post. Your Lovren signs thread is ****, I'm going over to the other one!
Dig Dig Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Anyone know much about his main attributes? Is he quick? as I think pace at the back is a prerequisite with the way Poch will have us playing. Well I don't think he's particularly quick but if pace at CB is a prerequisite as you suggest then we wouldn't have signed him. In fact, we were defensively better under MP with little pace at CB
CaneNero Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Fantastic signing. Glad we're willing to splash the cash.
Saint Garrett Posted 14 June, 2013 Author Posted 14 June, 2013 His Missus is well fit...just saying Photos needed...
RobM Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Great to see us doing our business early this year and strengthening a position we knew needed attention. Lovren + Forren as our new CB pairing? It will certainly push JOs and Fonte to improve if so, giving us great depth in that position for once!
Crab Lungs Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Most interesting thing for me about this signing is that we have attracted a player who could have played in the Champions League next year....
iansums Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Stu, don't be sat he all on your own mate, come over to the other thread. Not the MLG one that's **** and he's having a sulk.
pingwing Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 This years FM says he's brave, strong, determined, good heading and most importantly good positioning. That's Jos the Boss out the door then...
beatlesaint Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Hope not, would like to see two quality centre halfs brought in. Forren ?
pap Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 I don't know anything about this guy, is he the real deal? Very big clubs had their eye on him. This would be a coup, I reckon.
Saint Garrett Posted 14 June, 2013 Author Posted 14 June, 2013 Most interesting thing for me about this signing is that we have attracted a player who could have played in the Champions League next year.... Depends, someone mentioned on another thread he was Lyons 4th choice CB, so understandable they're happy to let him go (if true)
Golden Balls Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Seems a very positive signing and yet another player who mentions talking to the chairman as a reason for joining.
DuncanRG Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Wonder if this ends our interest in Astori? I would imagine so, especially if the fee's as high as £12m. I am absolutely delighted with this signing.
Golden Balls Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Yep. Other one is better for me. This is rubbish.
trousers Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Photos needed... This is now officially the best thread
