I'm not going to claim to have ever heard of him before last night, so I can't gauge what kind of signing he'll be, however, there's a few things being overlooked by some here...

Gazzaniga has been in England since 2011, so not new to English football.
Secondly, he spent last season on loan in Spain (Segunda Division admittedly), playing regularly, so he needs to be judged on most recent form, not historic appearances.
Finally, and most importantly, he was at Southampton during Poch's reign, quite crucially under the coaching of Toni Jiminez, now our GK coach.
So this is not a signing based on some scouting reports, this guy has been watched/coached day in day out by our coaching staff, they'll know exactly what he will or won't bring to the party, whether they trust him or not, and whether his specific skills are suited to our game.

Edit. Obligatory google search does not fill me with confidence. Limited video footage, generally of mistakes. Fingers crossed my original theory above about the coaches knowing something we don't turns out ribbed true. Can't see as they'd sanction signing him if they thought he wasn't much cop.

Google search Moussa Sissoko...

Just as underwhelming as our long pursuit for that other 3rd choice goalie Pau Lopez.
Serously what is this fixation in signing a 3rd choice goalie?
Baffling, truly baffling. Especially when we have yet to spend zero on improving the rest of the squad.
Cos you do actually need one! Pau at least is considered to have a very high ceiling, wouldn't be surprised if we are back in for him next season.

Southampton just released their squad numbers and there's no number for Gazzaniga, so safe to say this one's done

Remember the out of the blue swap with Swansea ...BD and Vorm for Gylfi. Gazzaniga could be a makeweight in a swap deal for Wimmer. So who else would we want from Soton.......Boufal?

I just called her out on it hahahaa
Calling out a hot girl is porbably not the best way to slide in the dms, tbh. But at the same time, you do have to call people out for blatantly stealing itk from here. Big time catch 22

Btw, amy...sup?

Or we could just be signing a 3rd choice GK for £2m.

She's giving it the old I'm posting what my source tells me! I said well your source is mugging you off because what he is sending you is straight off of SC if what you're saying is true

For 2mill it's probably just so Jimenez has someone to dance with at training, he's been in a lot of Spurs vids lately and looks like he'd be a great laugh to be around.

Really not quite sure why people are getting annoyed by this. At best he’s going to spend a few games on the bench during the league cup.

Also from some saints videos I’ve watched a few seem to think he’s a decent player who kept getting thrown in at the deep end. Man City away or put in the team after saints had let in 15 in 4 games.

Still think we'll bring in Lopez on a free next summer.
