Confirmed Signing Cuco Martina

Cuco was likely our first signing of summer 2017 but ordered to keep it under wraps until some big names came in to avoid an avalanche of fume.
He'll probably get announced after, or alongside, Keane to further diminish discontent.

Good riddance. One of the worst players we've ever had since our return to the Premier League. No idea what Koeman sees in him.

Is anyone genuinely surprised? Coco is to Erwin Koeman what Jeremy's Pied is to Puel. He's out of contract, would have left last Summer if Pied had not been injured. Nice guy, but really not good enough for the PL.

Coleman is out, so they need to replace him well, and they have Holgate for competition...where does Martina fit in? Bizarre move for a really poor player at this level.

Everton fans are in for a wonderful surprise when they watch his unique take on defending

Pretty nifty going forward but defending isn't his strong point. Not a terrible back-up I suppose. Not sure why the high and mighty Everton would want him though.

Decent back up on a free transfer who won't make a fuss when he's not playing. Makes sense.

With Coleman injured long term, a Europa League campaign and Holgate the only right-back they have then I can see why it makes sense for them to sign Martina. He can fill in when needed and won't expect to play much, and the management team there know him.
He 'did a job' for us and whilst he was a very limited footballer he seemed a good professional. Good luck to him.

Nice bloke, terrible footballer. Other than the goal my main memories of him are miscontrolling balls when in 40 yards of space leading to him having to pass it back to the keeper.

He must have something over Koeman, like details of an affair or something?
One of the worst footballers to ever grace a Saints shirt in the past 20 years....and we've had some shockers!

I don't expect him to play much when we have Kenny and Holgate.

How many points will he cost us this season. Stek II

Seems like he can attack, but cant defend or control a football, maybe an option for when we play 3 at the back with proper wingbacks!

But as I keep saying, if Kenny is what we think, he can warm the bench.
 
If we're after cover for RB as backup to Holgate......whatever happened to Tyias Browning?? Looked decent in the few appearances he made for us.

Think Koeman just wants an experienced stop gap in case the kids flop. No problem with signing Martina for a year as long as it is only a year and not 3.

Browning, Holgate, Kenny, Connolly.

Can't see Martina being 5th choice (6th when Colemans back)

So clearly he rates Martina as better than most of our younger players. That's a huge worry
