    From what I've read he does sound very much like a box-to-box Wanyama.

    Could end up being an absolute steal.

    Sounds like a mini Morgan possibly.

    From the little I have watched of him.. Albeit Youtube vids.. He seems a little clumsy and tries to do abit to much, But he does look strong, Athletic and Quick.

    Victor it is then!

    That article I posted above would seem to bear that out too.

    I think he will improve those areas with a good run of games.

    He will have a good captain to shadow too.

    I'm thinking Man U raided Juve for the wrong box to box midfielder. And this one has better hair.

    I agree, I think we have a replacement for Morgan, with Oriel filling Victors roll. Now we need to get a new CB and I am relatively happy with who we have on the books, lets see after a couple of games.

    Sounds like me! Why didn't Saints sign me? I would have been a much cheaper option.

    In this transfer window, Southampton have spent more than ...... Real Madrid. Just checked, but Real did sign Dani Cabellos from Betis, hardly a headline transfer but he would probably have cost 20m euros.

    Be interesting to see how Pogba performs now he is released from that holding role now that Matic has joined; l think we will see a very different Pogba this season if Matic finds his old form... Chelsea may well regret letting Matic join a rival team.

    I can't really recall seeing him play before, but everything I have read does excite me. Especially if he provides that additional defensive protection alongside Romeu as part of his game that we have lacked since Morgan and Victor (even if it is only until Rom is sold next summer).

    Impressed
    Strong, Combative, Fast, Clever, Good decisions in midfield, less so near opponent's goal so should fit in well :emoticon-0105-wink:
    This is a player for those key moments of transformation from defence into attack, which was a key miss last season
    I could see Shane and Gabbi on the end of some of those forward balls
