I bet the two Reece's are delighted, surely it's time to integrate one of them and stop hiring hasbeens

Hideous signing on the face of it. We won't see a penny back. Don't see how it's a good move from his point of view either - what's the motivation?

Errr, guessing his motivation is money and moving to London.

Burke needs to be in the team & Oxford isn't that far behind, please don't sign any CBs!

Likely we allow Ginge to go and this will still allow for the Reeces to come through with an experienced international to supprot them

V we don't know what he's cost so might be a bargain

I'll amend my view if details change. He'll be on a fat wage, that's a given. I'm not sure I'd support the signing as a free transfer, let alone £12m.

Quite a weird signing if you ask me, David Gold banged on about selling on potentials when asked about Defoe, yet he is part of a board that is about to sanction the multi million pound purchase if a 33 year old centre back.

This does sound like a strange signing. I'd rather wait until the summer and use what we have until then. Give the 2 Reece's some game time.
The money could be better spent elsewhere.

Thought these days were behind us, surely time to blood in Burke and Oxford rather than waste £12 million on a 33 year old.

sends out all the wrong messages to our younger players but confirms the short termism of the board. it'd be interesting to know if slaven wanted this cunt or if he's connected to one of Sully's agent pals

The Sun says £4m. Slightly more believable.

Is he better than what we already have, in my opinion he is and improves the team, in that respect I am not interested in sell on value.

If it's £4m then I start to wonder what Southampton actually gain by selling? What do they know about him that we don't?
