seems like a good lad! let's make sure he scores more than Theo this year!

 

Seems down to earth, yet confident. Just our kind of person. I like the fact that he is almost in awe of Southampton...I could get used to being a big club

 

Might be my memory failing, but didn`t he knock Saints back earlier in his career - around his Swindon days ?

 

Have to say I've been very impressed with what he's said so far

 

I'm really not sure where you got he was "disruptive in the changing room" from.

 

That was the story going round, but who knows if we were actually after him then?

 

Nice article. Now that the dust has settled on the transfer the most important part of it was this line...
At Southampton he is back with a former Burnley team-mate Jay Rodriguez, who is close to a return from his long-term injury problems.

Well if your memory is failing then so is mine. I made a point of this in an earlier post on Charlie Austin. I put it down to supporter rumour, but I think it was more of a quote from a newspaper, from when both Swindon and Saints were in League One and about to play each other. I'll forgive him the lack of respect back then. He was 5-6 years younger. All water under the bridge.
