      This guy is gunna be boss- 15 national team caps and youngest ever player for Bayern Munich, just shows the quality we can attract now 👌👌😀😀😀

      Wait and see chaps – note that most of time at Bayern he was out on loan (albeit to good clubs). We have strong mid-field (even after Victor left), so he will need to get into the first team squad first. He does look good – priority should now be a striker – no Pelle or Mane (where most of goals came from). I like his attitude very much though!

      Congrats Southampton with this absolutely stunning transfer, I'm a danish Manchester United fan, but this guy is a beast. Though he is young he is a very smart player both on and off the pitch.

      JK Kerma already did a accurate analysis of him, so I just wanted to add this video – You may think it's just a crying boy, but he's so dedicated, proud of his teammates and humble… at the age of 19. He's a character and will no doubt be a fan favorite from the get go.

      (Are we
      ready?)

      exhausted man .."

      Interviewer:

      "What part of your performance are you most proud about?"

      Pierre:

      have unity and we have the whole stadium with us" 

      Interviewer:

      "So what exactly is it that touches you so deeply?"

      Pierre:

      "I'ts beyond my limit .. that we win, and in this way – in these surroundings.."

       Interviewer:

      "It seemed like 2'nd half was one big struggle for survival, is that the way you
      see it?"

       Pierre:

      "yea yea it was tough man, they we're well positioned and they are good footballers
      – they made it hard for us, they have some good players, but so do we .. and
      damn"

       Interviewer:

      "How
      is it to see Yussuf, who you grew up with, have so much success?"

      PEH is such a boss. Here in Denmark we have very high hopes with this youngster. He is such a mature young man, and his skills are great. Hardworking midfielder, who is always playing with his heart on his sleeve. He can play box-to-box, as a playmaker, as a ballwinning spoiler, in the defensive midfield or even in the defense. Give him a season or two and you will make big money when you sell him. Already at this young age, he is the most expensive danish player of all time. Furthermore I think that Saints is 100% a perfect choice for him. A lot of players in Pierres position would have opted to go for one of the topclubs in the PL, and end up on the bench. But this guy is making the right choice every time. Very excited about this move. All the best to PEH and Southampton! 🙂
