Mettomo signs on

Championship Southampton

comment on the article

Lucien has signed after the speculation, George has admitted he's not fully fit, but they're going to work hard to get him some extra cover. Big, strong, dominating. Extra options, but not a right back so Wright will still play, but Burley seems to be trying to work through the speculation. I think as long as it's tight Burley'll stay, as long as we're scoring goals and not getting hammered, but if that starts happening then we'll see. Or if this continues for too long that'll be it. Results, results, that's what we need.

<<<maybe mettomo cant play at right back but i think both thomas and dailly can! yaaaayyy! no more wright for a bit at least>>>

Don't speak toop soon. I can almost guarantee Burley will continue to find a spot for Wright.

Either way, it seems that Burley has FINALLY signed the two CB's we've needed since the start of the season. Dailly will continue at the centre until Mettomo is fit, then when (if) Dailly goes back to the Hammers, Mettomo should be fit and ready to challenge Powell for the centre spot.

AT LAST! Still, we'll see how good he is. He may be a flop yet, though surely not as bad as Bennett.

I can't see what everyone's problem with Wright is. He misplaced about 2 passes against Barnsley and everyone started blaming him. He gives a solid performance every week, and i think he's a great utility player for the club, but should be on the bench. Mettomo will be quality!

Mettomo's a good signing for you - he did really well for us in Division One.

Everyone's problem with Wright is that he should be on the bench, but is not. And he is not a right back, Ostlund is. Ostlund runs with the ball, and tackles firmly. Can we at least see Ostlund for more than 10 - 15 minutes?

We need to defend from the front,impossible as Rasiak chases nothing, He is the weakest link !!

good signing its about time we sorted out our defence- 15 goals conceded in 7 league games....not good.also burley needs to find out who our 2 forwards are going to be because at the moment we seem to have different strikers playing every week.

I'm a City fan and I really rated him when he was with us and was sad to see him go. I've never seen a defender so composed in my life. He'll have your heart in your mouth when he dribbles it round three players in his own crowded penalty area before playing the ball but he never got caught out to my memory!

He can play at centre half or right back BTW.
