Many people say that we're by far the greatest team the world has ever seen, so I reckon he has definitely heard of us, unless he's an idiot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSA96 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Q: What sort of impression did you get from the manager? "I think he is a handsome guy, you know? He has a good beard and long hair. I want to be like him after the football career. I want to get some beard! But he's a very good guy. He's very kind and he told me about football things and life in Southampton. I have a good feeling with him and I can't wait to work with him." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reservation defensively is that he seems to go to ground a lot. Could get caught out by better players if he doesn’t stay on his feet (like when he nearly took Edozie out at SMS last preseason).

Surprised we've managed to get this one over the line, he was being watched by some top European sides. Being watched and then having a bid submitted are two different things. Maybe clubs want to see how he steps up in a higher league before committing. Although too early to go overboard about the signing, I’m reasonably optimistic on this one, and agree with someone saying he could become quite a cult hero. Also await the return of the bloke nearby being able to comment about ‘the jap’s’ playing well/shit or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see Armstrong on the end of a few of those peach crosses into the box, but emphasises our need for that elusive centre forward. Hopefully BBD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CylonKing Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 It's why we love our club, our true fan favourite players and the feeling of belonging. I'm not sure you get that with some other clubs. It's not the winning or glory, it's a deeper affinity, that some players get I think. Love Southampton, but wish it was easier to listen to match commentary outside of the Solent area.

SambaMaverick Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I've said it before but why can't we go out and get two or three more like him? 24-26 so plenty of upside, comes from a middling league but has experience in Europe, decent fee... it just makes sense. Is it me or has scouting gone backwards? It's not just us, all PL clubs just seem to be tossing about the same pool of players ad infinitum.

Think it might have improved a fraction over the last year (Downes, THB, and high hopes of Sugawara) but it still has a long way to go before it gets back to 2014-16 levels. It's been a decline since then 2022/Jan 23 possibly the low point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing it was tactical: with them down to 10, and likely to sit deep, bringing on a more tricky attacker did make sense. Although I'd have preferred taking off a CB. Agreed though: I thought he was excellent. Really encouraging debut. Looks very good indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I like him, a really technical player, got a lot of grit to him as well. A very, very good pickup by us for the price. The cheap gems are still out there...! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
