Leicestersaint Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Welcome Florin - I hope you can do the business.
davefizzy14 Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Quality signing this! Saw some highlights on YouTube of this lad and he looks the real deal. Looks really commanding and again has got Champions League experience. Welcome onboard Florin. Can't wait for the season to start now!
SNSUN Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Bloody hell, is something in the water at St Mary's? Two signings! Welcome Florin! I'd still like to see another AM with an eye for goal, right back cover and another CM but beggars can't be choosers!
Smirking_Saint Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Happy with this, the long signing is ok, fills a gap, adds competition. But this Im very happy with.
SNSUN Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 ^Post above I meant CB not CM. I'm thinking we have enough CMs.
Donatello Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 That's not important any more. How hard would you say you are? You what, sonny-boyo?!
CB Fry Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Any idea of when the last time we signed 2 players in a day was? Monkou/Groves.
Smirking_Saint Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 ^Post above I meant CB not CM. I'm thinking we have enough CMs. I didnt wonder about that
Matthew Le God Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Any idea of when the last time we signed 2 players in a day was? I may be wrong but... 1st January 2009 Lee Molyneux and Ryan Smith signed permanent Southampton contracts.
Bobbyboy Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Any word on fitness etc? Still assuming Fonte-Yoshida for Sunday? How soon will he be actually available to play...? On the other point of whether we need another CB, we probably do but making Fonte captain is a statement that he's a regular starter so maybe a low-profile backup CB is what we're aiming for next? Someone for when the inevitable injury crisis comes along?
buctootim Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 I may be wrong but... 1st January 2009 Lee Molyneux and Ryan Smith signed permanent Southampton contracts. If you're going to be that pedantic surely its when we last signed up the academy intake lads on the same day
DT Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/resources/images/3203169.jpg?type=articleLandscape sufficiently big watch
saint_ed Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 I still expect a wide player to come in. My absolute ideal signing would be someone like Belhanda but I don't think we've ever really been in for him. Interesting he is still keeping Besiktas waiting. I expect Townsend to come in.
krissyboy31 Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Any idea of when the last time we signed 2 players in a day was? I remember the day Beattie signed as 1 of 5.
sussexsaint Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Excellent. A position we all wanted covered. RB still Needs cover. Do not want cork to go.
Saintmike5 Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Good stuff, may take a bit of time to settle in but we would have been cripplingly short of defensive options without him (we're still a bit short but I think this will probably be it as far as signings go). Welcome Florin!
DG Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Good to get this one over the line, let's hope he settles quickly.
S-Clarke Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Sounds like he's not going to be available for 2/3 weeks.
Weston Saint Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Comes over well in interview and decent English.
martel Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Florin..pah he's only a two bob bit Good One Patred44, however, I believe you are showing your age a bit, like it will only be the over 50's that will get it, made me laugh though.
Shroppie Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Florin injured for 2 weeks. Not good. Thought we only sold injured players, not bought
Saint Charlie Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Comes over well in interview and decent English. Certainly does. Sounds like he expects to be eased in gradually from that.
Convict Colony Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Am very impressed how well Florin speaks english, fairplay to the guy he seems like a decent guy and honest ambitions. Am a florin fan
Baird of the land Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Disappointing that he's injured. Leaves us rather weak at centre back for opening weeks of season.
hypochondriac Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Disappointing that he's injured. Leaves us rather weak at centre back for opening weeks of season. Unless we sign another.
eelpie Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Any idea of when the last time we signed 2 players in a day was? Oxy and Moron come to mind
eelpie Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Coming over here, taking our boys jobs. Taking the jobs our boys don't want to do
Lighthouse Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 You what, sonny-boyo?! I'll f**k you up, innit mush!
solentstars Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Coming over here, taking our boys jobs. ha ha" i expect those old lunatic fogeys from ukip will beout in force at our first home will be telling him to go home with pitch forks in there hands
Wiggles31 Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 So is this guy fit to play Sunday or did I hear he is injured? Not had a chance to read through.
farawaysaint Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 So is this guy fit to play Sunday or did I hear he is injured? Not had a chance to read through. Out for a while still, would explain the zillion medicals though.
Wiggles31 Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 So is this guy fit to play Sunday or did I hear he is injured? Not had a chance to read through. Yep just seen he is out next two weeks. Surely we'll be signing another? All we need now is one more CB and a winger/forward and we are looking pretty strong IMO.

Yeah, but extremely unlikely we will get another cb in in time for Liverpool so get used to a Fonte and Maya/Jos partnership (worth bearing in mind that Poch preferred Jos to Maya so given Koeman will quite possibly feel the same prepare yourselves for big Jos in defence Sunday).

Oh... sweet.... Jesus. Who knows maybe he'll have the game of his life. Seems that Yoshida has played more games. Whilst Yoshida could easily be replaced/upgraded he isn't as bad as some make out. End of 2012/13 season he was actually playing quite well. Sign Vlaar and a winger (Brighton youngster) and I'll be very happy.
Polaroid Saint Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Hello Florin. Welcome to the Saints. You will like it here. Hope you have the season of your life. Err, something about a fence.
Olallana Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Coming over here, taking our boys jobs. or more taking a Croatians job...

marc_saint Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 I remember the day Beattie signed as 1 of 5. Along with Mark Hughes and David Howells i seem to remember? Can't think who the other two were. (And can't be arsed to look it up!)
Clapham Saint Posted 14 August, 2014 Posted 14 August, 2014 Along with Mark Hughes and David Howells i seem to remember? Can't think who the other two were. (And can't be arsed to look it up!) Stuart Ripley?
