I expect at least one more signing this window and then we will strengthen in the summer. We will keep our best players if they fit in with Poch's vision, but we can expect a clearing out. We all know in our heart of hearts that some players will never play again for Southampton.

And i'm glad some won't, a lot have been given their chance and failed.

Conversely, usually someone who was out of favour returns to the first team when a new man comes in. Will be interesting to see. Could De Ridder be back in!? <laugh>

You never know this manager might actually play players in their best position and find out that's what should have happened in the first place, I don't think Steve D is quite up to Premier class, but if was played on the right wing he might actually do what he is best at?
 
A change of position could suit some players. He has no sentimental link to any of our senior players, so may see things with fresh eyes. Perhaps he will be able to get the best out of Ramirez. I bet Lallana wishes he was fit...must be dying to impress the new man.

Why do you think it's so likely? What's your reasoning behind it?

And why do you think it'd be such a bad thing? Because Spanish players are notoriously terrible, right?

There's a fine line between signing quality (ala Michu) on it's own and buying a core of players from Spain that will ruin all the good squad work we've done over the last few years.

Yes, there is. But are you going to answer why you think it's so likely to happen? Isn't it more likely he brings in one or two players of suitable quality that he knows from spain?

It's not like Pochettino has a history of bringing through youth........... Oh wait!

Who knows what will happen, but Pinocchio will know players from Spain and chances are he'll be interested in them. It's the same as if we got a new manager from another club and we were linked with a dozen of his former players.

Your second question is that yes, he might bring in one or two for now, but over time I'm sure he might bring in more.
