James Patrick
Player Valuation: £10m
He speaks perfectly fluent English - what do you mean its not his first language ? His parents are English it's what he'll have heard at home all his life.You are looking at it the wrong way. The manager's first language is not English. He is basically saying that as of today he is a Southampton player. What will be more telling is if he plays or not at the weekend. If he doesn't play at all, then yeah just a matter of time. But if he plays, even 5 minutes, then clearly they are quite happy to keep him as obviously every minutes he plays he could end up injured.
