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.
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

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 mànagers 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?

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.

As above i'd be gutted if we didn't take a punt on Austin

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.

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 .

Juanmi isn't a striker, he sits in behind the striker, like Djuricic and Lallana did, we'll still need to sign another striker
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

Just read that were offering a 4 year deal to feddel don't no nothing about him maybe someone on hear does.
16 Jun 2015 19:16:43
Juanmi confirmed on the official website
16 Jun 2015 19:30:58
Feddal? That Morrocan centre back at Palermo? ;)
17 Jun 2015 00:44:03
Yeah that one lol
{Ed002's Note - Nothing confirmed but Newcastle, who were also interested, are of the opinion he is moving to Southampton.}
