Being sarcastic mate. Plenty on here think Nourry picks the team. Utter tosh. |  | |  |
Saito signs on 20:34 - Aug 25 with 2399 views | BeauRanger | Welcome back… had bags of energy last season & if he can compete for 90+ minutes he will be a big step up from what we’ve got. |  | |  |
Saito signs on 20:39 - Aug 25 with 2342 views | numptydumpty | Such an infectious character even though his English is still very limited. Even if he was useless, almost worthy of a place in the squad as to stop the team from delving into the depths of doom, if they ever lose 7-1. But he is also decent and i expect him to be much improved and have more impact in terms of goals and assists this season too. If its £2.8 million as stated, thats decent, probably with add ons, dependent on his impact. Can see Smyth being moved on myself, which if we have to, then fair enough. But myself am all in for Koki..... I am so so happy !!! |  |

You don’t like Nourry’s cooking here? And you think he appointed a bad head coach, who was at fault for the hammering we took on Sat? You are full of surprises. [Post edited 25 Aug 22:13]

Saito signs on 21:57 - Aug 25 with 1894 views | QPROslo | Best signing of the summer for me. Think he is a better left winger than anyone else at the Club and like Smith he helps the back with his aggressive defending. My guess is he will be worth a lot more than £2.8 M we are supposedly paying in a season or two. He is also great to watch. I'm very happy too. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Are we just making stuff up to get angry about now ? |  | |  |

No, I thought the same thing. It’s not making stuff up to get angry about just an observation that the club hierarchy recognised that the proverbial would hit the fan after the weekend and this triple announcement ahead of the training day allows those new players to be on show and everyone will be queuing up for a photo with Koki. If true then you can’t blame them. Hayden + RND are the sensible signings in principle and Koki is the feel good signing who brings a smile to our faces. Important to put things right VERY quickly on Sat lunchtime. I can see RND straight in to take the heat off of the young left back but I suspect Hayden is a few games out of being in contention to start. |  |

Said I'm not sure about the signing as I think the CM still needs strengthening. However, as Smyth has not signed a new contract then I can only assume Saito could be his replacement. What's wrong with that? And yet again, I don't think Nourry has appointed a bad coach, naive yes, but I've never said it was a bad appointment. It's to early to make a call either way. What does it matter anyway if I did think Stèphan was bad, according to the conspiracy theorists CN picks the starting team and sets them up. Strange though that all these players are signing for the club despite evil CN and his cronies. Why is that? |  |

Saito signs on 20:20 - Aug 25 by charmr | Not what we need. Money should have been spent on a midfielder. Great for the ‘project’ though with potential sell on. [Post edited 25 Aug 20:26]

As a person - top bloke. As a player - not going to add anything to a position we are over-loaded in. More pleased to see Hayden in as he might give a bit of steel to mid-field. But £2.8 M for a club that doesn't have a pot to pee in, is nonsense and makes a mockery of the 'project'. If we have (once again) ripped up the script as soon as we get a bit of cash, then go the whole hog and spend that 2.8 plus another 2.8 if necessary to land Ronnie and actually improve the team in an area that needs strengthening (not a huge fan of Morrison). A player that is comfortable playing out from the back, passing the ball forward and breaking the lines and will have a genuine re-sale value, even if Southampton have a significant sell-on clause included. |  | |  |

100% agree. Glad someone else sees it. |  |

Saito signs on 10:47 - Aug 26 with 986 views | guitarzan | Great signing. His energy will help us defensively as well |  | |  |
Saito signs on 10:55 - Aug 26 with 918 views | QPRSam | Mentioned this in a previous thread, but last year Saito was 1st for successful take ons and 2nd for tackles in our team just showing his versatility for us last season. With the bedding in period done I really feel like he can take off this season. Expecting a large increase with assists especially with Kone in the side [Post edited 26 Aug 10:59]

Yes, hopefully with better forwards (Kone), Saito's runs and pull backs will result in more goals than last season. |  |

I fondly recall him having to fill in at left back, and becoming our best left back |  | |  |
Saito signs on 11:27 - Aug 26 with 723 views | JQPR1 | Height aside, excellent player for ball control in a team that really struggles with that when confidence is down (which is 60% of the season). Did well filling in at LB and potentially could be a nice pairing with Vale on the left side as either of them can switch interchangeably between LB / LW. Will be interesting to see whether his stats improve with Kone in the team. Shame very few players we sign or have in the squad seem up to match fitness |  | |  |

Indeed. For a player who hasn't played a competitive game since April. I agree with the general consensus; he's likeable but the fact is that it's unlikely that he'll be ready to play/contribute in any great way for a good while yet, due to his inactivity since April. As for referencing his poor, my view, stats: goals to games (over 40 games last season), and blaming that on the forwards, it didn't prevent Chair from contributing 6 assists and 2 goals in just 28 games or Kolli contributing 3 assists and 5 goals in a mere 21 games. He has to do better. [Post edited 26 Aug 12:08]

I think he will. The first half of his spell here was settling in to a new club, new league, new country. I thought he improved as he went on. |  |
