Just paraphrasing what the talk sport chap was saying. Maybe I misheard and he was talking more about the fact that saints being so close to a deal would alert other clubs to step in. All pretty obvious stuff I agree

No real insight from what I heard. Just said that Malaga were planning on building their team around him this season and that he was laughed at in Spain 2 weeks ago when he said he would be leaving for the premier league.

Sounds like he is very highly rated though. I still don't believe he's our striker signing fwiw.

pimpin4rizeal Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Don't think this guy looks that impressive from the YouTube clips. Looks more lightweight then djuricic without the flair.
Shance Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 I think he'll be a decent signing. Better than Elia and Djuricic.

Enjoyed reading that. Guess that blows my "he's not a striker" theory out the water though
JakkoUK Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 I would still think Koeman will play him as a CF/CAM that plays of the holding striker, would be the ideal player for it.
SNSUN Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Would be a decent transfer for £5 million if it happens. Looking forward to the other 9 players we bring in this summer.
The9 Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Have we just signed another striker to play in attacking midfield?
Saint-Armstrong Posted 15 June, 2015 Author Posted 15 June, 2015 Saints set to sign Juanmi, and a second player, this week - so says Telegraph reporter and 'friend of the club', Jeremy Wilson. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/11676968/Southampton-set-to-sign-Malaga-and-Spain-striker-Juanmi.html

buctootim Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Meeting the low release clause is the easy part. Lets hope another club doesnt hijack negotiations.

buctootim Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 S-Clarke said: Sounds like it's been going on for weeks, so pretty sure he's ours tbh. But its not like when two clubs agree a fee and get exclusivity. Its a free for all for anyone who meets the release clause - and its common for agents to delay signing on the dotted line whilst they wait and see if any better offers are flushed out.
Shance Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 buctootim said: Meeting the low release clause is the easy part. Lets hope another club doesnt hijack negotiations. Sounds like personal terms have already been agreed.

Saint Charlie Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 So, after all the Djuricic/Elia replacement stuff it is confirmed. He is a striker.

Doesn't really add up to his lack of goals if he's a striker, knows where the goal is so much etc. Anyone know how many of his appearances have been a full 90 and how much time he's actually spent on the pitch? What's his goals/per minute ratio?

verlaine1979 Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Goal every 269 minutes over the last two seasons in La Liga.
Sour Mash Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 verlaine1979 said: Goal every 269 minutes over the last two seasons in La Liga. Cheers. So a goal every 3 games, not too dusty considering his age/team over those seasons.

Not bad at all - Pelle's average for the league was 270 last season going by the same data (Transfermarkt). Juanmi doesn't look like he sets up many though - 2 assists last season, none the season before. I note Pelle only got 2 last season as well - considering Lambert got into double figures the season before, it perhaps explains a bit about why we sometimes looked a bit disjointed in attack.
St Chalet Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 One of the Talksport 'experts' was positive that Pogba would stay in Spain.....
Saint IQ Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Sour Mash said: If he's comfortable anywhere in the front 3 of a 4-3-3, why would we necessarily need another striker? Because we still won't have a out n out goal scorer, Rodriguez got most of his from the left, Pelle is our 'Target man', Long isn't going to get more than 10 goals a season n plays wide most of the time. I might be being greedy but if you say Jay Rod, Long and Juanmi mostly play wide or behind the front man that leaves Pelle as our only player who regularly plays the lone striker role!
Saint IQ Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Quote The more I look into him the more he seems like Bojan at Stoke, both in playing style and physically. And hopefully he'll have the same sort of impact too. Think this completes our work in the final third for this summer (Jay Rod extension, and Juanmi signed). That would mean the following players competing for 3-4 positions on the pitch at any one time: Pelle, Rodriguez, Mane, Tadic, Juanmi, Long, JWP. RW-Long/Tadic AM-Tadic/Juanmi/JWP LW-Mane/Rodriguez ST-Pelle/Long/Rodriguez Looks pretty good depth to be fair, but just lacking that 15/20 goals a year striker unless we rely on Rodriguez coming back even better and playing up top?

Only two new signings scored more than Pelle last season: Costa and Sanchez. 2. Which of Jay Rod's goals were scored from the left? Most were scored as a central player with Lambert moving wide.

How much do you think a 20 goal a season striker costs? What's wrong with Pellè, Rodriguez or Mane's goal return?
cellone Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Am I being a dunce. This a good right. The amount of wear and tear on the players next season will be worse than League 1. A good start to a sht part of the football year..
