I know hat a 10 is, but what exactly is an 8? An attacking midfielder but one who plays deeper than a 10 was my interpretation of it? Replacement for Powell then who is always injured?

If we're playing so well by the time Powell's fit again that he doesn't immediately get his place back then that will be an encouraging sign for us.

Good signing I think, replacement for Vrancic and like you say, good completion for Powell. We’ll likely need both for 46 games

Careful now. You’re in danger of making complimentary sounding noises in reference to the manager. Down with that sort of thing. I have no faith it won’t be as flat as a pancake don’t worry. A double negative. So I'm thinking you don't actually mean that...? 😂

The bit I’ve seen of him he looks very confident on the ball, is a decent passer and likes a shot.
Great loan signing

Keeping it on topic, I won't lie, got a fair bit of wood with this signing. Sorry, but I have... Guy I used to work his surname is Case, no guessing what his parents gave him as a first name, it’s Edd btw and his sisters named Vanity, 100% legit

If the wannabe Ivor Novello winners on here can’t craft an amusing song out of that name, it’s time to pack in.
Little, Willy, Willy he ... scores goals But you can't push Willy round Willy won't go Tried telling everybody But woh no Little, Willy, Willy he ... scores goals

Another offensive midfielder.
Where is the disciplined defensive midfielder we have been desperate for?

Hasn't actually played that many games for Southampton, and I don't believe he has ever been tried as a CAM, CDM or as a box-to-box midfielder. So he's a bit of an unknown quantity, but from what I've read about him one of his greatest qualities is versatility. He would likely suit playing in front of Baker and Laurent in the midfield three, or as the CAM if we ever went 3-4-1-2. However, for Southampton reserves he has often been used in the attacking three, so another option for us if we go 4-3-3. With his creative skill, he could work some magic for Dwight up forward. Perhaps he can also play behind Laurent and Baker as the 'orchestrator', but I don't know if Kilkenny might be a better option for that.

Can tell straight away in his brief 30 minute outing that he is a quality player and exactly what the midfield is missing. Think he will make a massive difference playing week in week out for us.
A great addition.

A great addition. For me he did more in the first 5 minutes than I’ve seen any other midfield player do in preseason. He actually wanted the ball and looked to do something with it.

Great loan signing All for it, bring on a young and hungry youngster with a good reputation and a player who gives us cover. Really hope he grabs his opportunity with both hands. I also really hope he gets plenty of minutes. I’m just sadly grown to be expecting that he won’t get a chance. Please let me be wrong!
