    Great signing and great timing. Here's to a player with confidence who can invigorate the rest of them!

    Great stuff! Now just needs an accessory for his first game under Nathan Jones, tactical genius...

    Great news, can't wait to see what he can do, hopefully his ability and experience will make everyone else raise their games!

    So this goes to show do not believe all the little details that come out from various sources, he did want to sign, we did negotiate well enough to get the deal done and we didn't sign him on a 4 year deal. Fancy that!

    I imagine we will win some freekicks in and around the area with his speed and skills and JWP should benefit!

    That last goal for me was the best. The others were great but that last goal, showed such composure to just gently slot it past the keeper, very good indeed!

    Doesn't the PL have some petty rule around restricting obscure shirt numbers?

    Not been posting much as I’ve been busy in the midst of a breakdown, but just popping in to say this place is going to be amazing when we stay up. I can’t wait. It’s going to be a thrilling time watching all the ****witted trackbackery. Have a great spring everybody, a fab Easter and I’ll see you in the summer! Hugs and kisses!

    Whilst he has come in for a fair bit of (well deserved) criticism, this is something a lot of his Luton signings also said. They apparently had better offer from elsewhere but Jones' knowledge and plans convinced them to join.

    I get that we aren't his biggest fans at the moment, but a tiny bit of credit due here.... maybe.

    This is what is frustrating. There were a lot of players who Jones had worked with who were positive about him, but doesn’t seem like any of our squad are impressed with him.

    I watched these and tried to imagine he had our shirt on, if he can inspire our present squad, bring it on! SMS will make a lot of noise for any of those goals!

    They did at one time; I remember Renato Sanches being unable to keep his number when he joined the PL. I don't believe they do anymore? TAA wears 66 (and Kelleher wears 62, for that matter) so I can't imagine there's a rule that allows 66 and not 99.

    Premier League is a big step up, but a wide player who wants to drive at the defense and has an excellent shot on them satisfies a big need.

    I doubt he is impressed with a lot of the players either!

    Have to say, it's endearing to see all of the Dinamo fans wishing Saints well and hoping that we'll take good care of him.

    We're going to really sour them, aren't we?

    I don’t get that, I saw a team playing for him on Wednesday as they never gave up. Yes we were disorganised and there was no cohesion but there was effort.

    Thanks MOF, I find that interesting, perhaps a straw to grab at. I didn't see the game but can anyone who did confirm?

    I agree. They worked very hard against Fulham too. They’ve not stopped playing for him but I wonder if they believe in him?

    Interesting as many posters on here fail to mention that they seem to still be working for him, hopefully we will get a performance and a result today.
