...and they said it was going to be a quiet window. Those guys..... And he's secured until the end of this very season.
Just love how the Pozzos do business - not a whisper, then BAM!! just the type of signing we were crying out for, out of the blue. I'll never doubt them again.
Lots of goalkeeping spots up for Foster, Gomes, Dahlberg, Adams and Bachman to fight for, so er, no, sorry apparently there's only the one.
Yeah that would makes sense, it's a short term contract too so just a chance for the young lad to prove himself.
At the moment Dante Baptiste (18 in February) is in goal for the U23s and safe-hands he ain't. He's a very good reflex shot-stopper and has a beautiful languid kicking style but his catching ability is below par I'd say. Worryingly, during the warm-up of a game recently Graham Stack, Head of Academy Goalkeeping, was still having to instruct Baptiste where to catch the ball when it came to him high from crosses. So with Howes out on loan (eventually departing?) the U23s need a more reliable 'keeper behind the defence for the remainder of the season.
Unconcievable..... must start on Saturday against New Castle. Goalies are this season’s midfielders.
Foster won't be happy on the bench. But who cares. This guy will be our #1 for the next 20 years. Or until we sell him to Barca.
He's better than Barcelona. People forget I've been watching Southampton U23's for years so I'd know.
