The9 Posted 16 June, 2015 Share Posted 16 June, 2015 I like the club doing business like this.....no messing about! More please .... There is clear evidence just a few posts above that there has been plenty of messing about - this is our latest EVER "first signing" in the Premier League since we came back, in a close season where we haven't changed managers.

Ludwig Posted 16 June, 2015 Share Posted 16 June, 2015 Welcome Juanmi! We'll probably all hate you after your first 2 games so enjoy the love while you can get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dronskisaint Posted 16 June, 2015 Share Posted 16 June, 2015 Pleased with that, seems like the right sort of player for us in age, attitude - welcome Juan! NB Get used to **** taking about our name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Munster Posted 16 June, 2015 Share Posted 16 June, 2015 No negative posts yet. Can someone please trot out one of the following: "doing deals on the cheap" "typical lightweight Spanish player, won't be suited to the Premier League - look what happened when we got that bloke from Spurs on loan" "this definitely means Mane is leaving" "why aren't we using the perfectly good players we have in the U21's" It just doesn't feel right until someone has slagged him off. No, we're all reasonable here. We won't write him off completely until he's had at least 2 bad pre-season matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints4Prem Posted 16 June, 2015 Share Posted 16 June, 2015 Looking at the video there is grass on the pitch as he came out of the tunnel. I thought the pitch had been dug up and then reseeded?

Koolman Posted 16 June, 2015 Share Posted 16 June, 2015 From the BBC site Juanmi scored eight goals as Malaga finished ninth in the Spanish top flight last season Not exactly the sort of performance to set the Premier League alight.

Does anyone know if it has been turfed or was the video taken sometime earlier? Looks a good buy though welcome to St Mary's Juanmi. Last year they had to basically build a pitch from the start, as they had to lay under-soil heating. This year it's purely standard maintenance, so a strip back of the top layer and then re-seed (which I think was done a few weeks back, so would have grown a bit since then).

eelpie Posted 16 June, 2015 Share Posted 16 June, 2015 An early signing, an excellent and exciting prospect and a steal at £5m. Well done Saints. Yes, and so many of us were criticising Saints last season for selling players without having replacements signed up. I hope we manage to keep our stars, but if not this is the way to do it.
