Dank Posted 7 July, 2022 Share Posted 7 July, 2022 Based on the post from the Rangers fan (thank you) it seems Joe Aribo can also play at LB. This provides some cover if Perraud is injured and Small is not deemed ready. It also could free up JWP in mid field to cover RB if KWP is injured. This gives us options until Tino is back up and running. This flexibility takes pressure of full back cover and allows us to focus on improving the attack. Hopefully we'll get to see KWP and Tino both play on the right when fit. Also think Perraud did a good job for his first season so would like to keep them all happy and playing. The other thing the Rangers fan mentioned was the quality of Aribo's first touch and close control. Brings back memories of Fabrice Fernandes (yes, I remember the crop circles) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brings back memories of Fabrice Fernandes (yes, I remember the crop circles) Yeah, there's a lot of versatility in his game and for 'just' £10m that is just priceless. I don't think we can go wrong with this one at all. I keep watching random youtube vids of him and his touch is just out of this world, that's why he probably finds it easy to play anywhere. Has a bit of a physical presence about him as well. He's always been one which has stood out for me at Rangers, and as we all know too well there are some absolute gems hiding in the SPL (VVD/Steven Davis/Armstrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted 7 July, 2022 Share Posted 7 July, 2022 Think this is a no-brainer - guy looks class, flexible in role and in tune with Ralph's playbook. With our new improved coaching set-up think the season is starting to look brighter. Hope they get this one over the line asap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brings back memories of Fabrice Fernandes (yes, I remember the crop circles) He's literally played 36 mins off the bench at left back - he isn't in any way a defender and I'd be amazed if he would ever be considered to play fullback in the Premier League.

I like the idea of Rangers shredding his contract and that they feel they have "made a killing" on the deal. When Jacob Tanswell one day ends his coverage of Saints on the Athletic, this is the person we need to take over. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 8 July, 2022 Share Posted 8 July, 2022 Could have got him for £300k three years ago, but maybe now for £6m we get a more experienced player. Can't wait to see him in a Saints shirt. About time we got `lucky' with one of these flair players. Boufal, Djenpo and to a slightly lessor degree Redmond, just haven't worked out as well as we hoped. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint IQ Posted 9 July, 2022 Share Posted 9 July, 2022 On 06/07/2022 at 07:16, Rangers72 said: Hey guys, Rangers fan here, just wanted to jump on to the forum to tell you what kind of player you’ll be getting. First of all, sounds as if the race is between you and Palace but that you guys are going to win it. To which I say, congratulations, because you’re getting a hell of a player. First of all, one of the things to understand about Joe is that his intangibles are off-the-charts good. He’s reliable (played 70 games last year), consistent and versatile (he played every outfield position bar two (RB and CB) for us). Above all, he’s a really likeable guy and there’s not a Rangers fan who has a bad word to say about him. Easy to root for. Never complains. His best position is as a No.10 but you can play him as a No.8 too. On to the pitch, and the first thing that stands out is his control and dribbling. He has the best first touch of any player I’ve ever seen - there are numerous clips of him just instantly controlling a ball falling from the moon with one touch. He also has the ability to beat a man 1v1, and often multiple men (check his goal in the 3-2 win vs Braga to see what I mean - he scored it while playing left back FWIW). Hes also surprisingly good at winning the ball back, and he’s extremely athletic. He has other strings to his bow, but these are his main selling points. Downsides are he doesn’t get great numbers, but if you have plenty of that in your team then I wouldn’t worry about it. Overall, he’s just a brilliant player to watch and definitely one to get excited about. Rangers fans love him but understand that three years is a long time at any club, and that for the London boys the PL is a big draw. I’ve no doubt he’ll be a success for you - he’s done it against some top teams in Europe in recent years, which are a higher standard than all bar two EPL teams. Enjoy him you lucky bastards! Thanks for that. We still definitely need to invest in a striker who can bang in at least 10 + goals a season then I think we are nearly there 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
