Bearsy Posted 7 August, 2017 Share Posted 7 August, 2017 He would clearly take a few weeks, at least, to get into the rhythm of the team and how we play. Yeah that could be an issue. Coming from Juve he may well be accustomed to scoring goals + winning trophies, but I'm sure we can quickly get him upto speed with The Southampton WayTM Link to post Share on other sites
Verbal Posted 7 August, 2017 Share Posted 7 August, 2017 Yeah that could be an issue. Coming from Juve he may well be accustomed to scoring goals + winning trophies, but I'm sure we can quickly get him upto speed with The Southampton WayTM Not so sure you can be that pessimistic, Brian. Last year's signings seemed to slot into the missing goals/losing trophies thing very quickly. Link to post Share on other sites

Stoke fans speculating whether this is Delph, Gibbs, Townsend, Young or Lemina.

I won't admit to knowing too much about him, but going by some of the articles i've read.....it's like they've put together our wish list in a midfielder and put it into him. Will be interesting to see if that is the case! Link to post Share on other sites
Smirking_Saint Posted 8 August, 2017 Share Posted 8 August, 2017 Top signing this, I said at the start if we get through this window without losing anyone and sign a partner for Romeu and an attacking midfielder it would be a good one.
