Blondie, one way, or another......

 

Juanmi, or another, he's gonna getcha,

he's gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha

Juanmi, or another, he's gonna getcha,

gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha

Juanmi, or another, we're win yeah,

he's gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha

One day, maybe next week,

he's gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha

He will drive through your team,

And if Pelle has gone down,

Shane long'll be around...

Juanmi, or another, he's gonna getcha....

 

It's ok, I've got my coat..............

Pacey and a great finisher. I wonder how he would do in the attacking mid role or as a striker partner with Pelle as I don't think he would suit our style as a lone striker.

 

Pelle

Mane Rodriguez

Junami

 

would be a quite formidable front 4.

My take:

 

so overall I think he's a good signing, at a great price. I really hope he'll fit into saints system....but knowing the quality of the scouts and with koeman's eye over the whole thing, I'm sure they've done their research and that they really think he's a good fit.

 

Negatives:

* I'm being picky, but quite a lot of the video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHVF39HqNqo] he talks about just being able to play in the premier league, and the only references to saints are that southampton are a big club. there isn't much about the ethos or ambitions of the team/club (which I think as others have said...seems to be very high on the agenda at the club), and which I know other players have talked about. Maybe thats something that comes with time, though (I can't remember toby talking about it at all until a few months in).

* He never scored at santander when they were going down

* speaks no english

 

 

Positives:

* To counter the point above (that he's just looking to go to premier league and doesnt care where), he's been at malaga since he was a kid, and has a big loyalty to it. He doesn't strike me as the kind of player that would hop around.

* only 5 m

* from the videos I've seen, looks agile and able to find the met. maybe he'll be what gaston never could be.

Eddie, your picky point...is he any different than any other player? No one is really concerned about the ambitions of the club beyond how it affects their own ambitions and how it will allow them to make the next step up. To think otherwise is to view things from a fan's perspective. With the PL the way it is and the CL spots a pretty closed shop, we won't attract a certain level of player who demands CL footie, nor keep those who interest clubs that can offer it. Who we can attract are up and coming players (amongst others) who we can potentially turn into players capable of CL, while offering them pretty decent wages in a pretty competitive league.

 

As for the English, while I know he gave the interview in Spanish, maybe he was doing a Poch and wasn't confident enough but can speak it and understand it well enough to get by. If he has none, then I am sure that that will be on the agenda to learn it.

both very fair points. So the english, yup totally agree.

 

about the ambitions, of course I may be viewing from a fans perspective that isn't a reflection of the club, but I feel like there are certain players (fonte being a good example) who get the ethos of the club and want to stay because of where we're headed, even though they could probably get a few starts at a club like spurs or liverpool or less frequently at one of the top 4. Know what I mean? maybe I've just been brainwashed /convinced by the clubs slick words, but I get the impression there is a very coherent and well thought out plan for where we want to be, how we're going to get there, how we build/reinvest money to go forward. Not all clubs have that

£5m for a young Spanish International who is pacy and technically very good looks like very good business..

 

Well done RonKo, Les and Co. and welcome to Saints Juanmi

Seeing as our Manager can speak Spanish, Dutch and English, I doubt there will be any language problems.

 

He has a holiday home in Portugal and was Benfica manager for a year, so you can probably add Portuguese to that list.

His movement looks great judging by MLG's video of holland vs spain, very pacy looks to play on shoulder and finds space well.

 

I must say though it might be hard for him to get a good run in the first team, i expect we will play with a front 3 of jrod pelle and mane theres also tadic to think about who was fantastic at the start of last season and whos form dipped mostly due to playing through injury and also shane long.

Juanmi does add more depth to our frontline though and with the europa league schedule will be a usefull player

I saw my mate the other day,

He said to me we signed the white pele

So I asked, who is he?

He said he goes by the name of Juanmi

Juanmi, Juanmi

He goes by the name of Juanmi

(repeated)

 

Obviously the Wayne Ronney chant, but think it would sound good

and it was always Ju-an-mi always, and forever.

lah lah lah, lah lah. 'repeat'

 

Good, although you don't pronounce his name correctly singing it like that, as it's Juan rather than Iwan like it would be sung in that song.

This looks like a very good piece of business considering our lack of bite up-front last season.

 

Its a later first signing of the summer than we made in either 2012/13 or 2013/14, were you concerned?

Agreed, would prefer 2.

Heeyyyy hey juanmi (hoo, haa)

I wanna knoooow if you'll score a goal.

Repeat.

Second line could be different, maybe if he has scored it could be "how you scored that goal". But hey ho better than not suggesting anything.

Lol that'll be nice after my credibility battering last year. :lol:

 

Could definitely benefit with Juan more soon, but this is why saints try and keep it as quiet as poss... Always competitors in the prem

 

Looks like the Juan more is happening quicker than expected

You just need to add a 'you'.

Ju-an-mi are meant to be, walking free, in harmony...

 

This Cedric is signing at some point in the future, if it happens can I come back and smugly quote this and say I'm ITK?

To the tune of 70's classic and one hit wonder "Grandma":

"Juanmi we love you, Juanmi we do.

There's no-one quite like Juanmi..."

Potentially intimidating too when belted out by the Northam.

If the Northam sings anything to the tune of 'Grandma' I'm walking out.

He's from Andalusia so perhaps to the above Clash favorite we start

"Juanmi comes from Anda-lusia....."

 

Maybe leave the Spanish Civil War references out.

 

....apologies in advance.

Its probably not a very well known song in England, but I woke up with this song in my head this morning.

 

 

Eurovision, I presume? We don't want any Euro failures here, thank you very much. :shakey:
