Do you mean a good half-season? They picked up 16 points from 19 games in the second half of the season. That's atrocious.
Capoue only missed the last 5 games- but their problems started long before that.Fair point, but didn't Capoue pick up an injury for a few of those games. I also think they stepped off the gas a bit when they got safe and to the semi-finals. I also think their 4411 got figured out second half and their manager should have changed it up a bit.
Bentaleb can be the upgrade on Bentaleb. He was looking like one of the best prospects in Europe prior to this injury plagued season.I like him, although he's been rash at times this season.
It would give us someone to rotate with Dier, and even to play with Dier if we feel we need a bit of steel in the middle in a game.
I hope though that we're also looking at a more creative central midfielder to compete with Dembele (i.e. an upgrade on Mason, Carroll, Bentaleb).
Ideal to bring on when 2-0 up at Stamford Bridge to see the game out
He missed 7 games through suspension, hardly 1/3 FFS. He received no red cards in 14/15.Sent off multiple times last season, we would lose him for 1/3 of games suspended probably, not worth the risk, loose cannon
To be fair I think some of his reckless play this year came about because he was denied a move to us last summer. He was playing a bit nihilist-style.Sent off multiple times last season, we would lose him for 1/3 of games suspended probably, not worth the risk, loose cannon

If he is average like some say why would Southampton offer him a 5 year deal?

He's played a blinder in big games too though. Was outstanding for Celtic when they beat Barca at home in the CL.I think he is a good player, but i do have doubts about his temperament, the pressure will be a lot higher at Spurs than SCBC

He's not my number one pick, but having worked with him, I'll bow to Poch's call.
A lot of them seem to have mellowed about us on there. Quite a few reckon he will come to us- there was also a picture from Kelvin Davis' Testimonial of Poch, Adkins and Koeman, and they seemed appreciative of Poch's time there. There's also a few ****s on there though. I hope they do have a meltdown though nobody has one better than them.I'd love to get him to be honest. Would be a very good defensive minded player, a real killer on the pitch along with Dier/Dembele. Would also be really funny to see a meltdown on SaintsWeb
I watched Soton numerous times this season (one of my best mate's is a huge Saints fan). Trust me, he is absolute class. He battered Arsenal at St Mary's and snuffed out our midfield a few weeks ago. Aside from being a beast of a centre mid - the lad can really play and has a football brain. As for his disciplinary record, bar the poor challenge against Payet (a def sending off) he was unlucky to be dismissed on the other occasions. Let's be fair, Dier could of easily seen red for his 'tackles' against Chelsea. I like the combative nature of his game.
If Poch is a huge fan and the Wanyama knows the manager's style and what is expected. He would be genuine competition for Dier and offer us even more steel if we want to play Moussa too. It would relieve pressure on Toby and Jan by allowing Dier to move back to CB if needed alongside Wimmer.
6'2, 24 years old with vast Prem experience (and some CL too)- absolute no brainer.
