I personally wasn’t a huge fan. Defensively solid but I like my full backs to offer more going forward than what I saw from him personally.
Would much rather keep KWP.

I’d take that. Not really the most exciting transfer, but he’s a better player than Lamela.
That said, we shouldn’t even consider up front until we have a DM and competent FBs.
I don’t really understand as his primary position is on the left where we’re well stocked - Son, Bergwijn, Sess. Don’t know how effective he is on the right.
He offers the same aggression as Lamela, but unlike Lamela is 2 footed to the extent when you watch him play you don't know what is his strong side
I know for sure he has played on the left the right & central, im all for this move, makes more sense to sell Lamela and loan this guy in
Love Lamela but he just doesn't offer enough
The tweet says "swap" not loan.
Tweet = Fact
What a horrible cunt I am making a sensible suggestion
Not at all... But plucking the idea that Inter would loan him to us out of your arse is (to be polite) random.... It also assumes that they have the money we'd want for Lamela rather than using Peresic as payment.

Being completely honest brother you're find it nearly impossible to sign someone so technically deficient for £30 m ( today 40) as our lovable cult classic , big bad wolf Sissoko.
Bergwijn on the right, Sess left back or loaned out, Son sometimes to play more centrally.
Saints fans seem to be of the opinion that they can't wait to get rid of Holjberg and he is an average player at best.
Is this sour grapes or is he actually any good?
be a lie to say I've watched him alot

Probably that he’s not as good as we want him to be but not as bad as they want a player who’s leaving to be.
They do the same with every player that is leaving them. Wanyama and Van Dijk had the same treatment, and I'm sure the likes of Ings and Ward-Prowse would if they left.
Basically every fan base does this with every player, more or less.
I agree, he had a great game up until that mistake. After that nothing. I think a loan would be great and if Leeds get him they are making a nice deal.
I watch a lot of Bayern games and to be honest Perisic has been pretty underwhelming. I think his best days are behind him. Could be a good threat off the bench though
His game was mostly based on driving wie runs at pace - almost like a budget version of Robben
Once legs are gone it's all downhill but he can still adapt much like Giggs did in his later years
I've always liked Hojbjerg and thought he's stood out as a good player in a mid table side. Genuinely believe he's a really solid signing for us and improved the team without being a truly top class player.
Saints fans think that he gives away the ball too much this season and late last year, which is probably true. I think maybe the frenetic pace of the Southampton play in some games, and Hassenhutls encouragement to loft passes into the channels results in low passing stats as much as any technical deficiency. He has a tendency to screw the odd pass off course.
All in all, strong ball winner, great attitude, lifts the effort of those around him, has the ability to pass well and pass forward, but he will have a few that really make you wonder.
Pretty spot on assessment of Hojbjerg. He isn't the next Kante/Ndidi, but would certainly improve us and almost guaranteed will not be a flop.
Four years ago he wouldn't have been the best signing...but given our current situation, and the state of football in general, I really think he's as good as we can get.
