I saw in a greek sports website, that there's interest from Southampton for Greek National "Jose Holebas". He's made some really good games in the world cup against Cote D'Ivoire & Costa Rica.
He plays at Left Back, and can cover the whole wing. On the downside he's 30. His team (Olympiacos) had set his price at 2m GBP, but after the good WC matches they'll probably ask for about 3.

At 30, he could be a good role model to Targett, who would provide a season or two of development for Targett who would then in all likelihood go on to replace him. So looked at like that, a 30 yr old left back might not be too bad.

I like this idea as a short-term fix for the left back position while Targett grows into the position. I think Cholebas is a solid, attacking left back.

Think he could be good for us until target develops

If we go for a mentor then go for Ashley Cole not some Greek dude who has never been near the Perm.

Cole would be good, at the very least Targett would learn how to use an air rifle.

I was thinking get cole earlier now is free from Chelsea how ever his wage demands may be huge

Got to say I agree. This bloke hasn't played in the premiership and to expect him at 30 to hit the ground running is a bit tough.

No it's Targett

10.) 01 Jul 2014
I think you'll find it's Matty Targett

Holebas is a player Olympiacos was eager to sell since last year. They didn't find a club for him then, even though they were only asking for 2m, and both the fans and the board was really dissapointed with that. I doubt he could really help your team this year, even though he played good in the WC. Those good perfomances were pretty much his own personal attempt to prove all greeks that didn't believe in him so far.

ps. i'm an Olympiacos fan , that really like the Saints, and would love to see Holebas sold.
