Sweet. Can he play centre back too?
Thank fuck for that
now where is the Centre back
Speculation buy, not assured quality but as long as we know its a gamble, I suppose they say they’ve been watching him for 12 months?
Les taking the piss here…Southampton director of football Les Reed said: “We are delighted to have secured the signing of Manolo Gabbiadini, ahead of a number of other clubs who were interested in him.

“We have followed his progress for a significant amount of time and have worked hard behind the scenes to agree a deal for him this month.
“ With Jay Rodriguez, Shane Long and Nathan Redmond all in good form , and Charlie Austin making encouraging progress in his return from injury, Manolo is another exciting addition to our attacking line-up ahead of the final months of the season, as well as for future campaigns.”

Who would have been ‘assured quality’? Ibrahimovic? Costa?
Why don’t we just say our policy is one of speculation buying to sell later on?
Why would we need to say that?

Les is a belter, the media love him and the way we do things but it is just lazy, he is on the beak and crack if he genuinely thinks Nathan Redmond is anything other than shite.
Good from the club, now let’s see what he can do.
Centre back please.
Why is he dressed like a monk?
No ‘habit’ jokes.
Because they make him wear a kit during games. Looks quality.
They’d be too old of course - no resale

He doesn’t celebrate much… is that because he only comes on and scores when the game is already won?
Jury’s out for me at the moment - not sure this guy is the answer.
I hope I’m proved wrong…
what, based on his lack of celebrations? If the jury is out it would be better to point to his goal scoring record rather than lack of celebration.

anyway, we don’t need anyone else, we got Boufal who last night showed how brilliant he can be. Now he is d fit and will get a run of games we will win every game. Mark my words.
He is hardly prolific, a gamble but one we have to take as assured quality is not our business model.

Crap sake Barry, any player purchase is a gamble. Torres worked out well for Chelsea, Carrol worked out well for 'pool, Veron for United, di Maria for United, load of City players.
Spending more doesn’t guarentee a player will work for you.
