Southampton have signed free agent Willy Caballero on a one month deal to cover for injuries to both Fraser Forster and Alex McCarthy, will it be an inspired signing or a failure, we will soon find out.

Ralph Hasenhuttl doesn’t.seem to be happy with any of his keepers at the moment, Alex McCarthy has endured.a torrid few games and felt his managers wrath on Saturday with Ralph accusing him of being unprofessional, in truth it is hard to see that he has a future at the club after that outburst.

With Fraser Forster picking up an injury in training Saints have acted fast and signed former Chelsea and Manchester City keeper Willy Caballero.

The only problem with this is that the Argentinian has barely played a game in 7 years since joining City, he barely got into City.s side playing only 23 Premier League games in 3 years and then only 11 in 4 at Stamford Bridge.

That is not going to set the pulses racing but at the moment devils can’t be choosers.

landerwal added 13:26 - Dec 7 Could be a good move. Willy Cabello was signed by both Manchester City and Chelsea. He was always in the wings, but those two teams can afford to keep a good keeper on the bench. Could be a good buy. We shall see. He could not be as bad as MaCarthy has been.

halftimeorange added 20:20 - Dec 7 Anyone remember Kevin Miller? Signed for Saints in 2006 after retiring in 2005. He played seven games in the Championship which included five wins and a draw. Will history repeat itself? He was about thirty-six at the time.

SanMarco added 11:33 - Dec 8 And the purpose of Harry Lewis is? Given Saturday and now this I would say there is no point even having him on the bench. Presumably if Caballero is injured on Saturday Shane Long or someone will come on gloves in hand...
