TheUltimateWinner Posted 19 January 2011 Posted 19 January 2011 A battle is ensuing to land Jason Puncheon with a number of Premier League clubs stepping up their interest. The Southampton winger is ready to leave the South Coast club, having already spent time on loan at Millwall earlier this season. However, his form with The Lions, where he scored five goals in seven games, has alerted a host of other clubs. A battle is now ensuing for the 24-year-old, and skysports.com understands up to half-a-dozen Premier League clubs are now looking at him. Amongst the club hunting him are Blackpool, Wolves, West Brom and West Ham. As well as Millwall, Championship sides Swansea, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth and Leicester are also chasing Puncheon. His agent Tony Finnigan confirmed the interest in him, telling skysports.com: "There is considerable interest in Jason. "He is capable of playing at the highest level and it is not a surprise the clubs are showing an interest. "But at the moment, all enquiries need to be fielded by Nicola Cortese [chairman] at Southampton." SSN Article
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 19 January 2011 Posted 19 January 2011 Name thrown in there now we've got some wedge. Doubt there's actually any interest there, he's a tidy player, mind.
Jackirius Posted 19 January 2011 Posted 19 January 2011 What Michael said... name just probably thrown in because we are the new championship rich boys and we will be after every player on offer apparently. Definitely would not say no though.
MPH Posted 19 January 2011 Posted 19 January 2011 rated him when i saw him on oan at plymouth a couple of years ago.... sign him up definitely.
SMX11 Posted 19 January 2011 Posted 19 January 2011 He is the type of player we need, can play on either wing as well.
shailen Posted 19 January 2011 Posted 19 January 2011 Good player, doubt sven will want him. Sven is more keen to get bench warmers in the premiership then good quality players in the championship. However i have full faith in sven and in whoever he signs.
Alexikokopops Posted 20 January 2011 Posted 20 January 2011 Mr February on my flatmate's Southampton calendar. Looks good
ajthefox Posted 20 January 2011 Posted 20 January 2011 As has been said I doubt we're really in for him, and to be honest I'm a little sceptical. I can't claim to have seen him play properly, but he's obviously done something right at millwall and now everyone wants a piece of the championships hot new talent. Seems like a bit of a bandwagon to me and I wonder how long he'll continue playing as well as he supposedly has.
Stevosevic Posted 27 January 2011 Posted 27 January 2011 Good, he is no better than we have in the squad already.
Wymsey Posted 27 January 2011 Posted 27 January 2011 He would most likely to be a bench warmer and then if anyone is injured in his position then he would come on.
