Hello
ED's what is Claude Puel's playing style and favourite formations?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - He used a diamond formation at Nice and occasionally 3-1-4-2.}

Sky are saying juanmi is in England for a medical and 5.1 million pounds looks fast I sooo hope he is good if so he is a bargain.
1.) 15 Jun 2015 20:08:25
looks as if he is signing
just hope now that Les Reed tells liverpool to get lost as they are rumoured to be making a higher offer for Nat Clyne

He is a young player, looks like he could do with sharpening up a bit. Where better to do that than saints! Just hope he can be a goal scorer next season if we get him. His 8 goals in 38 appearances doesn't look like the hit man we need. Fingers crossed
3.) 15 Jun 2015 22:28:33
If Clyne signs for Liverpool, he's an idiot. How many millions does a man need? He'll play every game at Saints, with a hungry settled side, with his England rb slot intact. Not only that, He'll learn far more from Ronald Koeman than he ever will from Brenda or Klopp or whoever replaces Rodgers. Southampton Football Club has one of the best mà nagers in the world. Enjoy the Koeman years. Hope he signs another contract.
Let's hope Juanmi signs up.He looks very useful. Up the Saints.
Anyone up for a trip to Europe?
4.) 15 Jun 2015 23:00:10
I would rather us spend our monies on a proven EPL goal scorer.
If this rumour is true, it surely puts to bed the Austin signing rumours, shame, I'd have liked to see him play for Saints next season.
5.) 15 Jun 2015 23:31:07
As above i'd be gutted if we didn't take a punt on Austin
6.) 15 Jun 2015 23:33:53
Interesting signing (if it happens). I thought Koeman liked big, target men strikers. This guy's 5' 6". I wonder if this means a change of tactical emphasis, less aimless long punts up to Pelle.
Perhaps he's thinking of going with a fast, mobile, flexible front three of Mane, Juanmi and Rodriguez, all swapping and interchanging positions. Time will tell, I guess.
Personally, it's the kind of signing I like seeing Saints going after - young, bags of potential, stock on the rise. I think that's more in keeping with the long term vision for the club than 29 year olds with no sell on value.
A deal for Cedric is supposedly nearly complete too, possibly before the week's out.
I wouldn't worry about Clyne. If he was ever planning on staying, he'd have signed a new contract by now. Move on.
7.) 16 Jun 2015 00:58:21
I was thinking the same thing, qwerty. We have Gallagher, Rodriguez,Pelle,Mane and potentially Juanmi. A good mix of pace and power giving Koeman plenty of options. Jay Rodriguez will be fighting for his England squad place for the Euros,along with Pelle and Juanmi. Frankly ,if we could keep Alderweireld ,I would be even more excited. That lad is mustard. If we are lucky,Ronald will have a couple of gems for us yet to be unveiled .
8.) 16 Jun 2015 10:48:08
Juanmi isn't a striker, he sits in behind the striker, like Djuricic and Lallana did, we'll still need to sign another striker
9.) 16 Jun 2015 12:27:03
Why does everyone have their heart so set on Austin? Yes there's no denying he had a quality season but there are much better footballers out there. Still think a CB needs to be signed before we look at any more attacking players
10.) 16 Jun 2015 17:17:31
Just read that were offering a 4 year deal to feddel don't no nothing about him maybe someone on hear does.
11.) 16 Jun 2015 19:16:43
Juanmi confirmed on the official website
12.) 16 Jun 2015 19:30:58
Feddal? That Morrocan centre back at Palermo? ;)
13.) 17 Jun 2015 00:44:03
Yeah that one lol

Just red this
http://outsideoftheboot.com/2015/07/23/tactical-philosophy-unai-emery/
and now really feel that emery is the right man for the job
{Ed002's Note - Does it say anything about his command of English?}
1.) 05 Jun 2016 00:01:01
I don't think he can speak the best English but he is an amazing manager and would hopefully be willing to learn.
2.) 05 Jun 2016 00:47:44
we've still got poch's translator around though right? ;)
3.) 05 Jun 2016 07:24:25
Koeman learnt English the summer he was appointed at Saints. MoPo is still learning the language. Can't really see that would be a major issue.
We even had Strachan as a manager and no one could understand a word he said!
4.) 05 Jun 2016 08:36:12
Absolute gold, saint Martin haha.
5.) 05 Jun 2016 13:49:54
I think there is massive difference in Turkish to Spanish
And even bigger from Dutch
Dutch and Spanish have a good understanding of English
Poch could speak English and so could keoman
Poch was full of the usale
I no speaky engly.

Just wondering what everyone thinks about Ruben Semedo, in my opinion he looks like a very composed defender but seems like he can play cdm as well so what do you guys think of him and where do you think we would play him?
17 Jan 2016 21:03:47
It might just be me but I have been hugely impressed by the performances of Matt Targett the last few games and I am starting to think that his future might be as a LM instead of a LB. What do you guys think?
1.) 17 Jan 2016 22:34:49
I thought we'd been playing Bertrand at CB with Cedric and Targett as wing backs? At least that's how it looked vs Watford.
2.) 18 Jan 2016 00:00:32
Yup Bertrand played as a centerback, with Target a fullback in both Watford and Baggies games.
3.) 18 Jan 2016 02:24:19
Either way without the responsibility of defending he's looked good going forward.
4.) 18 Jan 2016 12:03:36
Two really good performances from Saints - its the two clean sheets in a row that will have the management happy - you only need one goal if the oppo can't score. We have created loads of chances and even during our poor results run we still looked likely to score goals, but we were a bit soft at the back. The current 3 + wingbacks seems to be very solid - let's have a look against Martial and Rooney next week.
I don't think FF has really had a save to make yet - but I think he adds a feeling of confidence to the team compared to Steklenberg. I feel sorry for Gazza - he did not get a long enough run in goal I feel.
So its only just past the half way point and two more wins out of the next 3 games gets us into European slots.
Hopefully the bipolar fans can stop throwing carp at the management and business sides of the club and start supporting again.
FU2.
5.) 18 Jan 2016 18:05:51
Targett with Bertrand to cover him, Cedric with Virgil to do the same. Great way for them to build confidence and develop. Could be a masterstroke from RoKo.
6.) 19 Jan 2016 12:35:56
I think if we keep playing this way then another CB is a must.
7.) 20 Jan 2016 12:08:54
Grades is close to a return.
8.) 20 Jan 2016 15:21:29
I still think one more CB is a must gardos coming back but I think yoshida is a poor rb option and don't think he's right to play in a 3 CB line up.
9.) 20 Jan 2016 16:06:36
Suspect a CB will be a summer priority. We do need cover and time to start thinking about how much longer Jose can continue, and remain free of injury.
23 Aug 2015 18:04:40
i don't get what has gone wrong, in my opinion we should have at least 7 points by now but only have two.
12 Jul 2015 17:35:16
Does anyone know how much clasie will cost if he signs?
1.) 12 Jul 2015 19:40:11
supposedly 9 mil
2.) 12 Jul 2015 19:59:14
I think it's around £9m. But I see on a Feyenoord site between £12m and £15m.
3.) 12 Jul 2015 22:14:34
How about a cheeky bid for Stefan de vrij I beleive roko knows him from feyenoord days
4.) 12 Jul 2015 23:57:06
Lazio have qualified for the Champions League. I doubt de Vrij will swap that for Saints.
04 Jun 2016 21:51:21
Unai Emery is the best for us, personally.
05 Jun 2016 00:01:01
I don't think he can speak the best English but he is an amazing manager and would hopefully be willing to learn.
04 Jun 2016 16:17:43
I love the look of the PSV manager, I think he would suit us.
It is a really good watch
