Interesting first day for Pierre, walks in the door, whirlwind tour, sign here please, lovely, now off you trot - you got a plane to Washington to catch
 
Reading peoples views and im seeing nothing but positives. Must admit to having never heard of him before.cant wait to see him play. Assuming a striker will be next ?

I like the sound of the kid, he's got a spot on attitude and seems to have joined Saints for footballing reasons. Watched the obligatory videos on the Internet, and my first thought was we've found our new Morgan.
Big, strong, mobile, intelligent and reads the game. I'm calling Wanyama upgrade and a good pairing with Romeu...could be just what we need to get better service to the forwards and allow the fullbacks to do their thing with a bit more confidence.

Great bit of business and as usual off the radar until the deal was near as dammit completed.

Harry Reed better start looking for another club methinks, if he wants a starting place though, unless he has improved over the last year.

Should be plenty of playing time to go around...in midfield, someone is always either tired, suspended or injured.
Maybe, I am wrong occasionally :emoticon-0105-wink:. I think the last year won't have helped Reed's development and so he's playing catch-up - I suppose we'll see what he's made of if he does get chances
 
Not quite sure you understand. Saints could sell him next week if Man Utd bid £30m and his wages would be tripled. Player can go at anytime if the price is right and the player/agent feel they want to move on. Those facts have been demonstrated time and time again in recent years.

And don't quote the Schneiderlin case to me. He stayed for another year because at the time of his first hissy fit, Man Utd or Arsenal hadn't bid for him.


Not quite sure you understand. The appropriate time for griping and sneering is when we sell players, not when we buy them.
 
Were they less tired, injured or suspended last year?

No, but Koeman was rather stubborn about not rotating the squad. And we'll likely have an even more front-loaded schedule, with at least six more matches prior to Christmas. I'll be shocked if we cannot find time to work in the likes of Reed.

Yes I know. The available playing time is similar, it was down to Koeman.
