spyinthesky Posted 26 January, 2019 Share Posted 26 January, 2019 Just about to move from Lazio to Juventus. Who remembers his short term time at SMS? Think I saw him once playing for the U23's and a cameo performance in a first team game. Looked decent on the ball but nothing special which belied his time playing top class football on the continent and for Uruguay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintBitterne Posted 26 January, 2019 Share Posted 26 January, 2019 From what I remember he spent most of his time messaging women around the Southampton area and getting exposed online by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 26 January, 2019 Share Posted 26 January, 2019 This. Top class centre half who should have been retained under Puel. Always amazes me when people say we should have kept him. It was blatantly obvious from day one that he came to us on a 6 month deal just to bring some money in for him and to offer cover for us - we were always going to play Stephens ahead of him to get him the experience, Caceres was there purely in case we had ANOTHER injury at the back. He was never interested in staying at Saints long term, it was just 6 months of getting paid and move on to bigger things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan The Flames Posted 26 January, 2019 Share Posted 26 January, 2019 Who remembers his short term time at SMS? You say this like he played for us in the 1980's, he was here less than 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted 18 August, 2019 Share Posted 18 August, 2019 I can’t recall ever seeing him play. Was he any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 18 August, 2019 Share Posted 18 August, 2019 It’s strange. He’s played for some great clubs, he’s still an international yet no club he’s at ever offers him a new deal. Even now I’m pretty sure he’d be better than anything else we’ve got though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 19 August, 2019 Share Posted 19 August, 2019 I can’t recall ever seeing him play. Was he any good? He only played 1 first team game for Saints against Middlesbrough I think. I saw him in the U23's once and he was just a different class to everyone else on the pitch, although that's to be expected from someone with his pedigree. He is, or maybe was, a very good player.

His first inclusion in a squad was for the EFL Final at Wembley. Of course he didn't get on the field. Assume for that he received a losers medal. Was a decent player ut was too small to be a effective CB in the PL, he was better at RB or at least on the right of a 3. As a RB though his legs had gone by the time he rocked up at SMS.

Give it to Ron Posted 19 August, 2019 Share Posted 19 August, 2019 Wasn’t there a few off field issues with him..that may be the reason why clubs won’t take him on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
