davefizzy14 Posted 14 August, 2014 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 14 August, 2014 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 14 August, 2014 Share Posted 14 August, 2014 Happy with this, the long signing is ok, fills a gap, adds competition. But this Im very happy with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 14 August, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbyboy Posted 14 August, 2014 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint_ed Posted 14 August, 2014 Share 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.

Saintmike5 Posted 14 August, 2014 Share 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).

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
