Looks like this will likely be announced tomorrow. A cracking deal if the fee is correct at up to €7m, add-ons included

Bittersweet - whilst he appears to be a good signing it almost certainly means we say goodbye to Kyle. He has big shoes to fill.

TBH I'd always assumed that was likely even if we were promoted, so it's hardly a surprise. If anything surprised me it's that he stayed last season, so if he leaves it'll be with my best wishes.

Anyway, now let's get cracking on some 'sugar' based songs for the new guy.

Suga (DO-DO DO DO DA-DO)

Oooh Sugawara (DO-DO DO DO DA-DO)

You are our superstar

And you've got me wanting you

Oh oh oh

Suga (DO-DO DO DO DO-DO)

Sugawara

etc

 

Basically perfect. Easy. Maybe in the new Northam is able to land new song-based chants, bit I wouldn't bet on it.

It can't be perfect if it doesn't mention his hatred of Portsmouth (that he's probably never heard of).

Simple yet effective - our new Northam Wall are gonna urgently need some more chants, 90mins of OWTS and the usual skates crap will be painful.

Cheers KWP, as mentioned, big boots to fill and strangely never did have a chant for him - Sugawara will get one immediately.

Brown Suga how come you play so good?

brown Suga like we knew you would 

(maybe we could change the brown for our so as not to appear racist)

Surely there’s only one chant….utilising the great Def Leppard…’pour some Sugar on me’. 
“score more Suga for me….(in the red and white)…..score more Suga for me…(and he hates Pompey)”….score more Suga for me…(he fires us up)….score more Suga for me…(he’ll fuck you up)

you get the gist. 😁

Meant to be a joke tbf. Think it would be pretty funny hearing St Mary's sounding like they're doing a tribal war chant.

Wonder why the club have dawdled to announce Suga - something to do with KWP’s exit perhaps?

How have they "dawdled" when jounos like Romano are only saying it is confirmed this morning?

Sounds like an announcement today then. Expect this will get the KWP & Downes deals moving. 

Sorry to see KWP go but then I didn’t expect him to stay last season so that was a bonus. If it helps smooth the Downes deal so much the better.

He's probably never heard of Southampton either.

I hope KWP can do better for himself than WHU. Top six club or he might as well stay here.

Before we get too carried away it's not pronounced like the English for sugar it's pronounced su - gah so none of the songs will make sense to him

I'm aware of that, thank you. Sadly I'm struggling to think of UK chart hits which actually features the lyric, 'sugawara'.

Would never have thought (in the 70's or 80's) that The Archies, Sugar Sugar, would have been something to consider singing on the terraces !. 

For pure nostalgia, had a look on Youtube for it being played on TOTP or similar. From 1969. Strange and sad to think that all the slim little Doris's in mini-skirts then, are now possibly grannies, with tits down to their knees. Or dead.

Aneka - Japanese Boy, another contender from the backlog.

Agreed. I love Kyle. All the very best to Kyle if he leaves and ditto to Sugawara if he is ours.

 “Suga – yes, please . Won’t you come and stop a goal for me
        At right back, cos we need.  A little kicking of the other team”
To the “tune” of…  Maroon 5 - Sugar (2014 pop)

Great ideas here everyone. Actually I added Maroon 5 so I could post a "top 10" on https://www.facebook.com/SaintsInJapan ...   here you go... 

------------

Top 10 Sugawara Saints Terrace songs:
 Yukinari Sugawara seems about to sign a four year deal as new Southampton player according to his previous team AZ today – and now fans are planning his terrace tune. Greeted as “a cracking deal “ on saintsweb community, they are planning songs to serenade Yukinari Sugawara onto the pitch, and to celebrate when he breaks up an attack or scores. 
In the UK, not every player gets a song.  Football fans try out different songs and if everyone joins in, that becomes a player’s song. Notably recently Joe Aribo got “Gold” by Spandau Ballet – which also gets played over the sound system: https://www.tiktok.com/@matchdayvlogs/video/7317292951854386464
For Sugawara, there seem to be lots of “sugar” related tunes - although fans know it’s not an identical pronunciation to “Suga”. And there are always some Pompey references (to reassure struggling rivals Portsmouth FC that they are still in our thoughts)   

So here’s some early chart predictions…

Top 10 Sugawara Saints Terrace songs:  JAPAN CHART (as of July 13)

1. “Suga (DO-DO DO DO DA-DO)
Oooh Sugawara (DO-DO DO DO DA-DO)
You are our superstar
And you've got me wanting you…”
Or
“Yuki, do do do do do do, ah Suga Suga
do do do do do do [repeat]”
or maybe…
“Yukinari, do do do do do do, ah  Sugawara
You’re my right winger…”
to the tune of… The Archies, Sugar Sugar,  (60s hit)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsXEbXwG_oQ
(By CB Fry,  Saint Clark, +) 

2. “A spoonful of Suga helps the Pompey scum go down,
It’s the Southampton way” 

“A spoonful of Sugar, keeps the goal difference right down,
The goal difference right down…
Clap clap clap, we hate Pompey…”
to the tune of… Mary Poppins - Spoon Full of sugar (1964 musical tune) 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftxnr28LDXc
(By Maggie May, TURKISH,  GOLAC))


3. “Sugawara, suga suga sugawara, suga suga sugawara, suga suga sugawara, suga suga sugawara…”  
to the tune of… Blue Swede - Hooked on a Feeling (1974 pop with Tribal chant)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrI-UBIB8Jk
(By Saint Clark)

4. Suga-wa---ra, (you’ll ) break up their attack, you’re making our points go up daily…
to the tune of… Simon and Garfunkel - Cecilia
(1970 pop)  (1995 Suggs dub ska cover)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73dySD8Bddk
(By Colinjb, added to by me) 

5. “Yukinari Suga(waaarrra)

Quiet news day yesterday. Thought we might announce his signing. Maybe not as close as social media indicated

Yes, it would be a bitter pill to swallow if we now don't get him..

"Oh a spoonfull of Suga helps the medicine go down, the medicine go down..."

Sorry, it's before my second cuppa of the morning..

You got me lifted, feelin' so gifted
Suga, how you get so fly?
 
Suga, how you get so fly?
Oh, Suga, how you get so fly?
Oh, Suga, Suga, how you get so fly?
Oh, Suga, how you get so fly?

Maybe he's going to be announced or introduced as part of the new kit bash Puma are holding at St Mary's next week ?

Loads of extra sales from the Japanese market straight away 🤣

Yeah, makes sense from a marketing Ng point of view to hold fire on player incoming announcements until after kit launch.
