Lighthouse Posted 11 July, 2023 Share Posted 11 July, 2023 On the face of it, looks to be an excellent potential signing. Bags of recent Championship experience, playing at a decent level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribtickler Posted 11 July, 2023 Share Posted 11 July, 2023 Having watched Swansea in depth last season, I had a whiff Martin was 3rd choice for the scouts at Southampton, I like the Manning lad. He is like a good red wine, versatile, full bodied and gives you a headache. Good player to have thats all I will say on the matter 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's use alcoholic drinks to describe our signings this year. Terms like 'insane' and 'unbelievable' are so last year (and so 'prem'). So....who will be our champagne signing? Who will be a Guinness? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that basis Bazunu and Edozie would be a Top Deck shandy and a Babycham. Manning likely a Harp lager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always gave 100% in every match I watched, he scored some important goals and made few mistakes unlike the rest of the defence. He's not a world beater but I don't think anyone expected that when he signed. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's slow, always out of position, his crosses rarely beat the first man and often caught in possession. Granted he's got a good strike on him but that's literally it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the capital R and M giving the game away! Cracking signing - we've got better full back options this year than last. Hopefully we can upgrade elsewhere on the pitch too, and shift some deadwood.

hypochondriac Posted 11 July, 2023 Share Posted 11 July, 2023 Brilliant signing well done saints. Fair play getting him done in the face of stiff competition. I'd have been happy with him in the prem I reckon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSA96 Posted 11 July, 2023 Share Posted 11 July, 2023 (edited) Southampton manager Russell Martin said: "Firstly, he's a brilliant character. He's got a real edge to him. He's got a fantastic personality, a lot of energy and was a really important member of our group at Swansea, not just on the pitch but off it as well. "In terms of on the pitch, he's an outstanding footballer who has a brilliant understanding of what we want. He played in a few positions for us previously, and he's coming here as a left-back because he ended up performing as one of the best left-backs in the division last year. "We've beaten competition from two clubs in the Premier League for him, which I'm really pleased about, because I thought the lure of that would make it difficult for us, but he's come here because he knows the work and he believes in it."
