Confirmed Signing Cuco Martina

[Nymzee]

MARTINA, CACERES LEAVE SAINTS

Southampton have confirmed Cuco Martina, Lloyd Isgrove and Harley Willard have all left the club.

Martin Caceres also leaves at the end of his short-term deal.

Gutted if true really, this is what Southampton fans were moaning about Koeman for, getting Trash squad filler instead of letting youth play.

Kenny will be on a one way trip to Glamorgan Fc.

Perhaps it escaped your attention but Seamus Coleman is currently injured.

IF Kenny is good enough then he will start. If not, he will be back up.
IF Kenny does start and he breaks a leg in the first game people would be castigating Koeman for not signing any cover at R Back.
We NEED at least 2 options for every position.

Just because we need to sign someone doesn't mean we have to sign someone crap on a free. Looks like it's going to be another summer of spending pennies until we sell someone.

Cover for right back, and also used in a back 3 as well.

He could be our Azipilicueta next season and be a revelation.

Not exactly happy or thrilled about him signing.

As long as he is only used as a back to to Kenny (who deserves his shot) and its a short term deal then it isn't a massive issue. He is just a squad filler, hopefully.

I do trust the manager and I don't think he'd suddenly lose his faith in youngsters, he's stuck by them this season and I see no different in the future.

I think he might just be covering a really threadbare position player wise, with someone he knows is a good pro and won't complain about lack of game time.

No he won't, Kenny is good enough to play for plenty of Premiership teams and if he doesn't get the chance at Everton he
will move for a very decent transfer fee, I hope Koeman realises what a good player he has got in Jonjoe.

and if we had signed a top class Right Back THEN your previous post about not giving youth a chance might have carried some validity. You can't have it both ways.

Funny how people are back to slamming Koeman for 'not playing the yoooofff'

Didn't he start 20+ games for them last season? Might be completely wrong, but thought I read that somewhere?

He signed for Southampton on the July 2015 and has made 24 appearances.

would prefer alex bruce to stake a claim for this role

Do we pay southampton or do they pay us to take this player. I got a feeling we will be alot weaker next year than an already average team this year with double the number of games

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

The saddest thing for me is that he's already scored the one wondergoal he was ever going to score in his career so we wont even get that.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

He's a backup available on a free. People here need to get a grip.

Have never seen him play myself so can't really judge what he's like. Sometimes though you can get the jist of what a player is actually like, he was third choice at Southampton and they deemed him not good enough to keep on as third choice.
