niceandfriendly Posted 31 January, 2023 Posted 31 January, 2023 Jumping the gun? I know these threads should ideally start with “Surely deserves his own thread now as Fabriano Romano has tweeted…” but this fella is apparently reputable too.
iansums Posted 31 January, 2023 Posted 31 January, 2023 Delighted with this and Sulemana, even if I hadn't heard of either of them. 1 1
Saint Matty 76 Posted 31 January, 2023 Posted 31 January, 2023 We needed something. At the very least I'm sure JWP can land a couple of corners on his 6'7 head.
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2023 Posted 31 January, 2023 This guy is someone I remember having my eye on in the summer, along with Sesko. (that ship sailed). He is a massive lump of a CF, cracking goal record, experienced (not a kid). Exactly bang on what we need in a number 9 position. Someone else on here was flogging his name around as well in that he'd be a great shout for us. 17 in 22 this year, 23 in 43 last year. Guy knows where the goal is. I'd say this ticks more boxes that Vitinha in the sense he's more proven, costs less and has much better physicality. 7
JustinR Posted 31 January, 2023 Posted 31 January, 2023 Get him to Newcastle quick... tallest prem player versus second tallest prem player
Nolan Posted 31 January, 2023 Posted 31 January, 2023 For size reference, he's 1 inch shorter than Crouchy.

Jeremy Corbyn Posted 31 January, 2023 Posted 31 January, 2023 Just to add a boring point - he should really help sure up our defence at set pieces, one of our biggest weaknesses. Also, who doesn't love a 6'7" behemoth of a striker.
derry Posted 31 January, 2023 Posted 31 January, 2023 6ft - 7.13ins / 2.01m Help us defend set pieces.

I just made an assumption that the team-mates pictured next to him were either really small or standing further away from the camera.

Also, who doesn't love a 6'7" behemoth of a striker. Will make a diffefence in that regard certainly. My only concerns, despite his good goal record: - Can we get enough runners around him to avoid him being quite static up front? Hopefully Kamaldeen, Edozie, Armstrong, Alcaraz can help here. - From open play will we revert to just smashing the ball up to him because he is big and good in the air rather than trying to build up and get crosses in from good positions? - He doesn't play 90mins very often in Belgium (reguarly subbed in the 60s) and the PL is much faster... Lets hope for no failed medicals... 1
Give it to Ron Posted 31 January, 2023 Posted 31 January, 2023 Is he any good in air ? That last 10 mins when need to change tactics is he an option?
Give it to Ron Posted 31 January, 2023 Posted 31 January, 2023 Having medical in Nantes how does that work anyone know? Do we send a rep over? Do we use a football club or medical centre etc?
OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint Posted 31 January, 2023 Posted 31 January, 2023 So super tall. Wonder what type of football NJ is after? With our mega fast winger, just need to go off to elocution lessons 😀

goodymatt Posted 31 January, 2023 Posted 31 January, 2023 This shows he’s a bit cumbersome at times 😂 Still feels he offers us plenty we’ve been missing with his key attributes.

I’ll take him scoring terrible hattricks for the rest of the season. Just as I’d take us winning terrible games of football as long as it keeps us up. 1
Saint IQ Posted 31 January, 2023 Posted 31 January, 2023 Thank fk for that, I thought we weren't signing anyone. Makes sense now that its all being done abroad as how I would know we are signing someone has not happened, was really angry logging onto here 😂 1

The Cat Posted 31 January, 2023 Posted 31 January, 2023 We'll be unplayable with him on the end of Salisu's famous long throws. There will be a glut of goals coming from those just like when we had Crouch and Delap. 4

leeham_69 Posted 1 February, 2023 Posted 1 February, 2023 I know we're dead last but isn't it nice to not be absolutely skint anymore? If we were in this position in any of the previous seasons pre-takeover we would have had to sell JWP to panic buy or more likely do nothing at all. 2

Haha that first is funny, but we all know Che would have missed those first two. Second one he composed himself to put the rebound away. Penalty was standard. Welcome aboard please please be good.
stknowle Posted 1 February, 2023 Posted 1 February, 2023 Welcome aboard Paul. Please please please become a club legend for completely different reasons to the last ‘striker’ we signed in a January transfer window.
Singapore Saint Posted 1 February, 2023 Posted 1 February, 2023 I like that he says "Southampton" (twice) rather than "the club" like most players do when they sign, as if any club would do as long as it was the Premier League.
Saint_clark Posted 1 February, 2023 Posted 1 February, 2023 Genuinely really excited by this signing, more so than I would of been by Vitinha, Beto or any of the other strikers linked. 1

CB Fry Posted 1 February, 2023 Posted 1 February, 2023 We needed a goalscorer and we have signed a goal scorer. Well done Saints. 5

Turkish Posted 1 February, 2023 Posted 1 February, 2023 Well we finally got one in. Appears to be big and powerful Decent goal scoring record. Bit of experience so not a YHGTI. Ticks all the boxes we’ve needed. Well done Rasmus 2

Yeah me too. This is the signing I really wanted. It gives us genuine hope. I see Everton didn't sign anyone, I wonder whats going on on their site today !!!
Mr X Posted 1 February, 2023 Posted 1 February, 2023 Welcome Paul Let's hope he isn't an Adam Armstrong mk 2
