CONFIRMED: Saints sign Lyanco

Maybe he doesn’t want to give away his password security questions!

 

I'd probably just show him the greatest film of all time.

"Right, Lyanco, you're Sigourney Weaver. The ball is Newt. That f*cking queen alien is the opposition striker. Look at the way Weaver protects Newt. Just do that in the game, alright?"

 

Great film choice

 

hah, watched that again just a few weeks ago. It’s so good.

 

You missed Gareth Bale's Q&A in the Guardian this weekend then...

I'm a bit concerned that he needs a break between the first and second parts of his medical. Surely this should be an automatic fail?!

 

Bloody hell. Thank God I have the very lovely Mrs Godders for company for most of my meals.

 

We interviewed an Italian football podcaster and journalist for Serie A on the show this week, he provided some good insight into Lyanco, what type of player he is and how he might fit into the Southampton team. If you want to hear the guys discuss it and the interview you can listen using the link below, the talk starts at 23 minutes.

That's great stuff - thanks for this. Gives me a lot of hope actually, and sounds like a shrewd signing.

 

Hmmm! That has lifted my spirits a little. So he is better than we thought and might take time to adjust to the Premier League.

 

Yes, interesting listen. I’ll be well pleased if he turns out a bargain. He looks technically sound as you’d expect, and if he has that long pass dimension to his game too, then this will provide another option offensively.

 

After Djenepo pass his medical, we have clearly made the pass criteria a little more challenging!

 

Will he need to quarantine on arrival before being able to train and then play? We might not see him for a while ...

 

Quality film, one of my all time favourites, and if I'm not mistaken Le Tissier is the French version of Weaver!

 

They have moved for a replacement so I expect this will be announced very soon.

 

It has tempered my enthusiasm a bit, he really doesn't seem like a Hasenhuttl/Saints type of personality.

The very mention of the "typical modern footballer" and self-celebratory Twitter accounts, reminds me of the last fellow who came over from Turin.

 

Interesting that their potential replacement is someone we were linked with . And I assume his fee will be higher than what they receive for Lyanco

 

Wasn’t the “typical modern footballer” comment mainly about being covered in tattoos? Didn’t bother anyone with Ings and many others

 

Almost certainly a lie though. Sort of thing Paul Gascoigne might say...
