The9 Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 I like the club doing business like this.....no messing about! More please .... There is clear evidence just a few posts above that there has been plenty of messing about - this is our latest EVER "first signing" in the Premier League since we came back, in a close season where we haven't changed managers.
Ludwig Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 Welcome Juanmi! We'll probably all hate you after your first 2 games so enjoy the love while you can get it!
dronskisaint Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 Pleased with that, seems like the right sort of player for us in age, attitude - welcome Juan! NB Get used to **** taking about our name!
Dark Munster Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 No negative posts yet. Can someone please trot out one of the following: "doing deals on the cheap" "typical lightweight Spanish player, won't be suited to the Premier League - look what happened when we got that bloke from Spurs on loan" "this definitely means Mane is leaving" "why aren't we using the perfectly good players we have in the U21's" It just doesn't feel right until someone has slagged him off. No, we're all reasonable here. We won't write him off completely until he's had at least 2 bad pre-season matches.
StMarv Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 Quick feet, oozes skill and tidy around the box. Must say i'm excited to see what this lad can do for us.
Jonnyboy Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 He looks like a Spanish Matt Dillon's dweeby little brother hth.
krissyboy31 Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 There's only Juan Miguel Lopez, Juan Miguel Lopez, Walking along. Singing our song. Walking in a Juanmi wonderland!
Saint Fan CaM Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 Looks to be an absolute steal. With JRod back and Juanmi signed thats put paid to any thoughts of our two loanees coming back. Now onto Toby and Clyne please.
Roboze Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 Quick feet, oozes skill and tidy around the box. sounds like my mrs
Steel City Saint Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 Know Juanmi Knowing you Ahaaaaaaaaa Winner!
sotonjoe Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 First signing before first sale, that's good. Shows there was money to spend regardless of outgoings. How does it?
Chewy Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 Chant ideas? Not my forte so someone else needs to work out the lyrics, but surely something based on Take On Me by a-ha?
jawillwill Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 He plays on the left He plays on the riiiiiiight That boy juanmi Makes Lallana look shyte League 1 player at best We get it, you want to be more like Turkish.
Saints4Prem Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 Looking at the video there is grass on the pitch as he came out of the tunnel. I thought the pitch had been dug up and then reseeded? Does anyone know if it has been turfed or was the video taken sometime earlier? Looks a good buy though welcome to St Mary's Juanmi.
Koolman Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 From the BBC site Juanmi scored eight goals as Malaga finished ninth in the Spanish top flight last season Not exactly the sort of performance to set the Premier League alight. Guess time will tell....
S-Clarke Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 From the BBC site Not exactly the sort of performance to set the Premier League alight. Guess time will tell.... He is not an out and out striker.

Does anyone know if it has been turfed or was the video taken sometime earlier? Looks a good buy though welcome to St Mary's Juanmi. I should think we've already returfed it in the 2 weeks since the record-breaking match, our season starts in 6 weeks, no time to hang about.
ART Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 Good omens. Today is the New Moon, hence Les ensured he didn't sign before.

Does anyone know if it has been turfed or was the video taken sometime earlier? Looks a good buy though welcome to St Mary's Juanmi. Last year they had to basically build a pitch from the start, as they had to lay under-soil heating. This year it's purely standard maintenance, so a strip back of the top layer and then re-seed (which I think was done a few weeks back, so would have grown a bit since then).
Whitey Grandad Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 Juan down, more to come. Welcome to the club, together we can really go places
Sour Mash Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 From the BBC site Not exactly the sort of performance to set the Premier League alight. Guess time will tell.... It's a relatively low risk purchase based on his potential. What sort of goal return from last season would get you excited?
trousers Posted 16 June, 2015 Author Posted 16 June, 2015 Good omens. Today is the New Moon, hence Les ensured he didn't sign before. CB Fry to the main board please....
S-Clarke Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 CB Fry to the main board please.... ''Box of frogs''
Matthew Le God Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 Looking at the video there is grass on the pitch as he came out of the tunnel. I thought the pitch had been dug up and then reseeded? Does anyone know if it has been turfed or was the video taken sometime earlier? The pitch was ripped up on 5th June and new seeds planted on 7th June. It doesn't take long for you to start seeing green shoots.

Matthew Le God Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 If they reseeded a month ago it would be growing strongly by now. It was reseeded 9 days ago. But thats still enough time for green to start showing.
krissyboy31 Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 If they reseeded a month ago it would be growing strongly by now. It was only just over a week ago, after the charity games.
scotty Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 ''Box of frogs'' Absolutely hatstand. ...reaches for Viz and looks for Roger Irrelevant.....
CB Fry Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 Good omens. Today is the New Moon, hence Les ensured he didn't sign before. This.

Slated to be sold to Liverpool in the summer of 2018 for 30 million.
buctootim Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 how about a cynical post? Slated to be sold to Liverpool in the summer of 2018 for 30 million. I'd be very happy with that. Would mean he had done very well for us to justify that fee. Three years free goalscoring and a £25m profit. Perfect
VectisSaint Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 It was reseeded 9 days ago. But thats still enough time for green to start showing. First mow after 2 weeks (21st) http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/20150606-st-marys-pitch-renovation-under-way-2484431.aspx
Nolan Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 It's much too late to find Juanmi's left you behind He's run into the box and he's beat your 'keeper. We got Juanmi, baby. We got Juanmi, Oh! We got Juanmi, baby. We got Juanmi, Oh!
david in sweden Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 first signing of the summer......just juan-derful !
hasper57saint Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 Bet he learns English quicker than a certain manager who shall remain nameless. Welcome to Southampton Juanmi.
Dig Dig Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 Bet he learns English quicker than a certain manager who shall remain nameless. Welcome to Southampton Juanmi. The one who already knew how to speak English the second he walked through the door?
Bucks Saint Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 The one who already knew how to speak English the second he walked through the door? But never did till he went to London. Yep
The Cat Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 Bet he learns English quicker than a certain manager who shall remain nameless. Welcome to Southampton Juanmi. Strachan?
The Corellian Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 There's only Juanmi, unless you're schizophrenic.
SNSUN Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 We have a lot of comedians on SWF! :-D Welcome to club Juanmi. I know nothing of your talent but look forward to finding out. One thing sticks out though - at just £5 odd million this is a very low risk transfer in today's market. (A la Mayuka. :-) )
Puddings and Monkeys Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 I really don't get people leaving messages on here for him - he's not going to read them you know.
eelpie Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 An early signing, an excellent and exciting prospect and a steal at £5m. Well done Saints. Yes, and so many of us were criticising Saints last season for selling players without having replacements signed up. I hope we manage to keep our stars, but if not this is the way to do it. Welcome to SFC Juan
SNSUN Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 I really don't get people leaving messages on here for him - he's not going to read them you know. You lie, I have you know Osvaldo nutted Fonte because of something derogatory Jose put about him on SWF. (The above may not be true.)
