Will Still hasn't left any stone unturned in framing a positive first impression in front of Southampton fans.
Recently, Southampton delivered their much awaited Will Still transfer statement which every Saints fan was longing to hear. And note the timing, the Arsenal match wasn't done and dusted when the club unveiled the curtains on their new manager hire.
Indeed, that's proper ambition from Southampton which almost appeared drying out throughout the past year. Well, these high aspirations don't stop here as Will Still has also shown glimpses of his ambitious Southampton plans.
As quoted by Southampton's official website, Still commented on the incoming Championship stint: "I'm eager to get to work this summer and start building a close-knit group that can make everyone proud and ultimately get us back to where we belong; in the Premier League."
Will Still sparks Premier League motivation among Saints
Every time a Premier League club suffers a second division dip, they are tipped to fare well in general. But the promotion task isn't straightforward, be it via clinching the two direct spots or battling a trio of opponents to win the playoffs.
Add to that a manager who hasn't travelled that Championship road even once, and then, chipping in with these words does the world of good to the fans morale.
I know it's early but Still has managed to win the vast majority of Southampton fans with his initial thoughts itself. The rest, needs to be done on the pitch and that progress will start from the fast approaching transfer window.
Now, Will Still's perfectionist approach to the January transfer market isn't new and let's hope he remains the same stance with the summer one as well. Simply put, upgrading the squad without compromising on proven first team performers.
Ultimately, let's stay optimistic that Still manages a huge turnaround in Southampton's Premier League status for years to come.
