The same man who was close to joining saints but left for villa for a bigger sign on fee?
More evidence that he was a southampton target who got away and Walsh and Koeman agreed on him.

..
So let's judge him on what he's actually signed
Williams 10 mil down the drain mid table player not good enough for club who wants to win trophies.
Bolasie same as above but paid more for an up market Mcgeady
Lookman looks out his depth and not ready for prem
Morgan good player but hardly a great unknown find and would of joined with no walsh due to Koeman.
Valencia lol.
So his track record isn't really great is it and with addition of wanting few other no marks who thankfully didn't join would of been worse.
My point was he has to earn his money or be replaced.
Williams was a stop gap proven premiership player to replace stones. I'll agree he's been largely disappointing.
Bolasie took time to settle and played in a period when the whole team lacked confidence. How I'd love to see him in the side now.
Lookman? How is he out of his depth. Definitely one for the future and koeman has admitted the lad has got talent.
Morgan - koeman signing as you say.
Valencia - a loan fee only but what an impact sub he has proved to be. I don't think he will be bought come end of the season, but he's hardly been laughable as you suggest.
