Excellent

 

[GoSaint]

Pleased to read that. Not heard of him but trust our club. One small point though, isn't 3 years a little short by recent standards?

That hair has got to go.

It's one year more than Cuco Martina got.

 

[GoSaint]

Ah, thanks

 

[SaintsFan86]

Do you know what the weekly wage is on this player, Connor?

 

[tomw24]

Very happy with this signing.

 

[SaintsFan86]

Potentially bringing in 8 players for the cost of 2 outgoing.

Only three year contract?

*when play chelsea* "He used to be your Romeu"" Basement jacks.

Reading between the lines this guy is a wonderful athlete who no doubt will do a great job. 1 goal in 108 appearances means we are looking for our goals from another source. IMO midfielders should be scoring at leas 5 goals a season. All we need now is someone like Luca Modric. Someone who can create!! Pity we didn't try to persuade Xavi to join us as that would have been an absolute treat!!

They are called DEFENSIVE midfielders for a reason!

And when we play two it means Saints are going to be very hard to beat. Who are our creative midfielders Tom because out in Mallorca I don't see a lot of Saints.

 

[The Archers]

This looks real good signing...would seem to have great potential, no better place than here to develop into a top player.

Any idea what the fee is?

Mane, Clasie and Tadic, though they're three wildly different types of creativity.

I do agree that I'd place an attacking central mid above another DM as a priority, but it would appear that Koeman thinks otherwise, potentially because they feel that Clasie will grow into a more advanced role.
