Dejan Lovren

[BobTheCharmer]

You have to say that Southampton played a ****ing blinder.

He may yet to turn out to be our saviour, but £20m in the bank is a result for them regardless of how good he might be for us.

The same with Lallana.

We paid the complete premium for those two.

I hope he settles soon. At least start looking dangerous from corners and score a few.

He's been there for 5 ****ing minutes.

[Daniel 7]

5 minutes that have been ****ing shocking

[G]

He came in as a leader and yet says himself in that article he was never one before! He's exactly like Skrtel, looks great in snapshots but invariably has a goal costing lapse to take the sheen off.

Still, you bumped the wrong thread Bob cos everything is always Sakho's fault

Yes and? Read the post Nigel. I'm saying he can still turn out good but regardless Southampton did well. They could not have got more money for him from anyone else.

[Shaggy]

Extremely early days so not gonna tear him apart but seen very little so far to change my opinion that he's not going to be up to it.

[G]

The 8m Southampton paid for him seems about right as of now.

I thought it was Sakho but by God Lovren was awful all on his own tonight. Its probably him making Sakho make those mistakes.

Whatever it is, £20m spent and problem not yet fixed.

[Daniel 7]

Lovren and Sakho are as bad as each other. Lovren will last longer, Sakho will be gone in the summer transfer window next year.

[G]

Lovren is the managers signing and has his confidence. Sakho apparently isn't and doesn't so he's on borrowed time regardless.

Next summer.

Yeah, Sakho's not going to cut it. Darren Williams is.

Interesting shout.

Darren Williams (born 28 April 1977) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Northern Premier League side Whitby Town where he is also the clubs manager.

It's strange with Lovren. He seems to have all the tools to be a top class CB, but it's not coming together. I still like him over our other options at the position, by far. I'd give him time.

[Fredo]

Interesting shout.

Ashley Williams.
