How many other 20 year olds can you name that had 6 assists in the Premier League last season?

Would the club look to potentially block the pathway for Reed and Ward-Prowse?

Why do they have to be exactly the same type of player? How do you think Juanmi differs from Elia? Juanmi has played on the left as an attacking player. Elia was often used on the left, that is where Rodriguez was so effective in 2013/14 and has now returned. Plus we still don't know for sure what is happening with Ramirez; with him, Rodriguez and Juanmi added to the squad we'd be +1 in numbers in terms of attacking players. Plus Gallagher is fit again and Seager is progressing well.

In terms of attacking players it may have balanced out already... 2014/15 squad - Djuricic & Elia 2015/16 squad - Rodriguez & Juanmi (plus potentially Ramirez)

He was born in Rotterdam and has a Dutch passport. He qualifies for Curacao through his parents.

He has played 0 out of 0 league matches for FC Twente in 2015/16. Happy, Appy?

You can watch it in post #32. Starts at about 10:00...

No he didn't, he started 31 out of 34 league games in 2014/15 in the Eredivisie. He played in 32 out of 34 league games for their first team.

This video is 5 years old, so him when he was roughly 19/20 years old...

The video is five years old (so when he was 20 years old and under), but he is used as a left back in this...

Koeman said 5 or 6 weeks.

Koeman confirmed he is interested in him and that its close to happening.

Supposed to start at 2:30pm...

News doesn't get better than this, the backdrop to the 2015/16 Staplewood press conferences...

Any more details on this? Cuco Martina one of them?

If they are using "expect" then that is different from "he will sign".

Saints have the structures and systems in place to improve, as they have done for the last 6 years. Their record over that time should give both yourself and Alpine more confidence in the club. From League One to within 2 points of Liverpool was achieved in a very short time. They clearly know what they are doing.

What is the exact wording they are using?

How did Liverpool pillaging work out last time? I've already covered it here as the gap between us closed significantly.

The "next level" Alpine suggests is challenging for the top 6. Something we clearly did last season as we were only 2 points away from 6th. How is that not challenging? All it needed was one draw to be a win and our vastly superior goal difference would put us above Liverpool. That is not the insurmountable glass ceiling Alpine makes it out to be... it is 2 points! We also scored more goals than Liverpool and conceded significantly less.

Us to continue wisely in the transfer market as we have for the last 6 years of Liebherr ownership. Which has seen us rise from 68th to 7th in England and close the gap significantly to Spurs and Liverpool.

Is it? We were a mere 2 points from 6th, 4 points from 5th. How is that not competing for the top 6? The gap between the sides last season was small and not insurmountable.

No he didn't, it can easily be picked apart for the nonsense it is. As I did in post #36

Intolerable? Really? intolerable adjective unable to be endured Are you really unable to endure the football team you claim to support finishing 7th with 60 points? Their highest league position for 25 years and achieving European football. We were 2 points away from 6th, 4 points away from 5th. How is that not contending for the top 6? How is a mere 2 point gap insurmountable? You say we are "unwilling" to make the step up, yet under Liebherr ownership have risen from 68th to 7th in England (2 points away from 6th) in the space of 6 years. You were a doom merchant last summer (as you always are), and yet Saints just had their most successful ever season in the Premier League. You thought last summer we were looted, but ended up with a better squad and closed the gap significantly on Spurs and Liverpool.

In order for a transfer to happen the player has to agree to it.
