Obviously there are plenty who do work in their own time but it's illegal for your employer to impede on you in after hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baggytrousers Posted 29 August, 2016 Share Posted 29 August, 2016 I'm jacked up for this signing. Are you? This write up on Bouffal from site EPLIndex : "It would be an exciting signing for the club, with Boufal becoming the best attacking midfielder at Lille since Eden Hazard. Although that is a huge claim, Boufal was sensational last season and caught the attention of the footballing world. He is a dynamic attacking midfielder, who will be great to watch if he does move to the Premier League. Boufal has great close ball control and his quick feet allow him to dribble through defences. His ability to beat players make him perfect for the Premier League. During his time with Lille, he scored some excellent goals and looked unplayable at times. In England, the pace of the game means that there are spaces to exploit and that is why players like Hazard, Riyad Mahrez and Dimitri Payet have been successful in this league. To an extent, Boufal shares characteristics with all three. He has been compared with Hazard during his spell with Lille and many see him as the most exciting player at the club since the Belgian. Last season, Riyad Mahrez took the league by storm and Boufal shares a similar past, making their names in Ligue 2. They also both opted to play for an African country rather than France, where they were born. Boufal has a larger reputation than Mahrez did at the age of 22, but there are a lot of parallels between the two. Dimitri Payet was one of the signings of last season and Boufal could emulate him if he joins Southampton. He is a player who has the potential to play regularly in the Champions League and it would be a coup for Southampton to sign him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghq Posted 29 August, 2016 Share Posted 29 August, 2016 I hope it's because this has dragged so long, but after all the rave reviews I'm starting to think he might turn out to be more Tabbadt than Hazard! I fervently hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fervently hope I'm wrong. Why do so many seem to want to append to their negative posts 'I hope I'm wrong' Assuming we all support Saints it goes without saying. I think Utd will beat us at Old Trafford. I hope I'm wrong. Although I guess there are a few on here who do actually get a hard on over any gloom.

Andy Durman Posted 29 August, 2016 Share Posted 29 August, 2016 The formalities are being tide up now and of course the very important medical, but this deal has been in the pipeline for quite sometime.
