Guilherme do Prado joins Southampton
11:47am Monday 23rd August 2010 in Saints News
Saints snap up Brazilian
SAINTS have announced the signing of Brazilian midfielder Guilherme do Prado from Serie A side Cesena.
The attacking midfielder has joined on a five-month loan deal.
Saints have the option to make the switch permanent in the January transfer window.
The 28 year-old will wear the vacant number 11 shirt.
And he could be available for tomorrow’s Carling Cup tie against Bolton Wanderers at St Mary’s, subject to Saints receiving his international clearance from the Italian FA.
Italian top-flight duo Roma and Chievo and second tier side Torino have all been linked with the player this summer.
Do Prado didn't play in Cesena's final pre-season friendly against Brescia on Saturday and was apparently at St Mary's instead to watch Saints' 1-1 draw against Leyton Orient.
Do Prado, who counts Perugia and Fiorentina among his previous clubs, joined Cesena last summer.
He played 34 times and scored nine times as they secured promotion to the top-flight.

I reckon he'll drop into the right of the midfield and poor old Barney will miss out with Lallana moving up top alongside Rickie. Just my opinion but might work! If not you have to make the choice between Spiderpig and Hammond...

it is a common problem the Italian FA often hold things up, they obviously cant do any work between 12:00 and 16:00 as they are all sleeping. But hopefully see him strutting his stuff tomorrow night COYRs.
but so glad we have another option on the wing I've been saying for ages we need some extra wingers to replace Papa and Antonio and also add competition for those places coz from what I saw from Puncheon on saturday he needs a kick up the a**e and fight for his place he looks far too relaxed too many touches for no reason allowing the oppostiotion to reorganise

Tons of Raymundo vids online.. plays both sides up the middle and in the box, a play making midfielder with two feet, he's tall, looks quick, has super touch and he can bend it like Beckham on pills.
Dare I say this chap looks like a cross between papa and Ants with more skill and touch than both.. let's hope.
I can't blame the Echo for not wanting to buy a photo though.. way to much photoshop on poor images on the OS shame.. Mind you Pards looks very pleased to be shaking his hand.
Cracking gain for Saints.

I am wondering whether we might now have a 'home' side and an 'away' side.
The home side based around Gully to get over tight defensive play whilst the away side use more wide players for the quick counter attack play that's wanted at away games.
Just a thought. COYBRS

Last saeson we had the -10 that stopped us this season we have the odds n to win the division? is this too big a cross for our team to carry!! it did Leeds in over the last couple of seasons and they only just made it out last season.
So come on you saints shart showing us what you ar made off and get some points on the board please!!!!!!!!!!!

Hammons and Morgan are too similar, said this last year and no others are starting to agree. In this league at home at least we need one sitting midfielder and one who can run at defenders. With those changes to current team then goals will flow and the number of free kicks and penalties we get will increase.
Teams coming to SMS for a draw need to be pulverised , if we get two up they will be forced to open up and then you will see us scoring for fun.

More importantly - and I'm remembering Marian Pahars here - is that we now have someone with obvious talent who can take the ball from the centre of the park and run for goal (unlike one Fabrice Fernandez who would zig-zag the whole pitch before ending up where he started from).

I feel good about this signing and - if it works out - then credit must go not just to Pardew - but for those working in the background at Saints who have brought Guly here.

Why so excited/ Do we know that much about him? is it because he is Brazilian? Lets face it why should a good Brazilian player want to play for a English League 1 team who are winning nothing at the moment?

Deano normally gets forward a lot more so maybe he is lacking a bit of form. Punch would do better to control things in front of Spider in the middle...he's too predictable now on the right as he has no right foot! Alex can still be a good change late on in games with his pace but we need to start getting a couple of goals ahead in games before he's thrown on...
Looks good on the YOu Tube clips. I think Puncheon will move inside, Guly on the right and Hammond to the bench.Fonte as the new captain. Hammons and Morgan are too similar, said this last year and no others are starting to agree. In this league at home at least we need one sitting midfielder and one who can run at defenders.

Seaborne - Exeter staff think he's a future star and cost a little over 100K.
Otsemobor - Short term cover
Ants - Loan and contributed to a cup win
Papa - Loan and contributed to a cup win
Hammond - Fantastic business for 250K
Harding - One of the best free transfers I remember

I think most of us last season said 'lets judge after 10,then 20 games' and the same applies today.
I certainly don't see Guly as a replacement for Hammond except in emergencies. Hammond likes the midfield whereas Guly gives the distinct impression that he loves going forward whenever possible. In other words, exciting, not a word that describes a hardworking,disrupti
ve midfielder like Hammond. Some people on here don't believe that he's dominant enough and are calling for such a signing. Whilst I don't agree with them I have a feeling that there might yet be another player coming in.
After all Pards keeps saying so.

They didn't pick on a London team cos the press up there wouldn't allow the asset-stripping to go unchallenged.

Has someone at SFC nicked your carrot.
You must be either on the wrong tablets or just taking the p*ss.
How can anyone asset strip, their own assets?
In case you forgot we were a little bit broke 15 months ago, the stadium was owned by the banks, that is not the case now thanks to one man, who's family will continue to build a team that their father and brother wanted.
I suggest you crawl back under Ampfield rock and stop be so silly, hopefully your mum might send you bed now.

The unpopular jasper has got a point.
What if loads of people are getting loads of commissions paid for all these player movements.
We don't see it.
Pockets are lined.
Whether or not the team do well.
Bassett Bill asked "How can anyone asset strip, their own assets?"...
Well BB, company directors are the most common asset strippers of any company...
Jasper - tell us what else you know. Am I going to score at Reflex on Friday?

Prado might be a good signing,but will he be any good in this league. What gets me with Saints is,Carlise are top of this league,and we are near the bottom,don't get it.? and please don't tell me its early days.

I thought we started to play well when Puncheon dropped deeper and more central, a bit more time on the ball and he can pass well.
the midfield on saturday just wasnt functioning as a unit in my opinion. Something didnt seem right. Maybe this fella will shake things up. One thing i know is that puncheon needs to play in another position or needs a good kick up the arse
Some changes in tactics are just round the corner, sometimes 442 works, some it don't. I do hope that after his display on Saturday Barnard stays in the team, I get the feeling that he could really start hitting a purple patch this season.

How ridiculous is it that a player, Mascherano, can blackmail his team into selling him.? And, presumably, still get paid.?
Agents of course.
But that has absolutely NOTHING to do with our club. How much can an agent earn from a free transfer or a player on loan. Peanuts or nowt.

Keen to help Saints to the highest level..
Saints sporting a new smart Brazillian.
Is there any down side to a 5 month loan with a signed deal to seal.. he's on Appro deals do not come any better and it is a result of scouting abroad.
Sit back and watch his many videos and wait for his debut.

Papa came on, and saved us from a humiliating defeat, got us a draw for a penalty shoot-out, which we won. He was consistant enough throughout the rest of that (which you may consider unimportant) competition, and was good enough to play a big part in getting us to Wembley. He upset plenty of opposition defenders, and make us plenty of chances, in both cup and league. If Guly proves to be as good as he Waigo, then he will get my vote, especially on a 5 month "no committment" trial.

Best of luck against Bolton boys. That is a tough team. A result against them will be a major announcement that The South Coast Team mean business.
