Anyone reckon he will start v Southampton??? Personally i don't think so.....probably the bench and possibly 20 mins towards the end of the game.....
Looking at our squad, we have some young group. It is very exciting - these players under the right guidance by Brendan will get better and better and better.....

Moreno is an interesting signing..if it happens. been lot of talk about him in Spain, especially over the last year. I wasn't really as impressed with him last season as others were. Technically good, quick and very aggressive but also bit rash, goes to ground way too much, can be naive defensively.
He is young& has all the tools there with the right coaching but i would worry about him in his first season. He will get tested aerially in the premier league & it's a big weakness in his game... also with the speed and tempo of the league he needs to stop going to ground as much.
Reading back it seems like a very negative post, i don't mean it to be. IMO i just wouldn't put all our hopes in him this season to fix our LB issue. In saying that, I reckon he'll get a lot more support & cover playing in our side... as oppose to Sevilla. Our work rate & stamina would be a hell of a lot higher than Sevilla.
Anyways if he signs, which i hope he does i reckon he'll should be eased into the side. I know we are struggling for quality options at LB but i wouldn't start him at Southampton.. it's way too soon IMO.
