To the OP: Get a frigging life! Your post is complete BS. Lauging stock? We had a veryn good finish in the Prem, we are creating a lot of incrdible talent. We are the envy of many clubs more likely.

Sampdoria may buy him? http://www.football-italia.net/52485/samp-hint-osvaldo-swoop

"Derisory" is a very subjective term. For instance; I wouldn't pay a penny for some posts on this board, while the posters themselves would probably comnsider that derisory.

From Dutch paper De Telegraaf http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/voetbal/buitenlands/22872217/__Koeman___Vlaar_een_optie___.html Koeman: 'Vlaar een optie' Van onze Telesportredactie Sinds Ronald Koeman aantrad bij Southampton werden Dusan Tadic en Graziano Pelle al aangetrokken door de club. De Nederlandse manager zou de komst van Ron Vlaar ook toejuichen. Koeman en de 29-jarige verdediger werkten in 2011 en 2012 samen bij Feyenoord. Southampton heeft wellicht nog een verdediger nodig. Dejan Lovren heeft aangegeven graag naar Liverpool te willen verkassen. Als de Kroaat vertrekt, komt de verdediger van Oranje in beeld. " Vlaar zou zeker een optie zijn. Maar hij is nu niet goedkoop, denk ik. Nou ja, we gaan het zien", zei Koeman tegen FOX Sports. Vlaar speelt sinds 2012 voor Aston Villa. Bij die ploeg uit de Premier League is hij vanaf zijn debuut een vaste waarde. Vlaar maakte tijdens het WK in Brazilië een ijzersterke indruk. In zeven wedstrijden kreeg door Vlaar geleide defensie van Oranje maar vier doelpunten tegen. Translation: Koeman:’ Vlaar an option’ Since Ronald Koeman’s arrival at Southampton the club has acquired Dusan Tadic and Graziano Pelle. The Dutch manager would also welcome the arrival of Ron Vlaar. Koeman and the 29 year old defender worked together at Feijenoord in 2011 and 2012. Southampton may need another defender. Dejan Lovren has made it clear he would like to move to Liverpool. If the Croatian departs the defender of the orange team will come into the picture. Koeman told Fox Sports: “Vlaar would certainly be an option, but it won’t be cheap I think. We’ll have to see” Vlaar plays for Aston Villa since 2012, and has been very valuable since his debut for the club. During the World cup in Brazil he made a very strong impression. In seven matches the defense, led by Vlaar, conceded only 4 goals.

My brother (football agent in Holland) feels that Tadic is definitely an upgrade over Lallana. Not too sure about Pelle. I guess we'll have to wait and see how they adjust to the English game

Agreed. He did well, and seems a straight shooter. I am very proud of my fellow countryman.

He's not wrong But he is exaggerating And the lay out of this article Is indeed irritating

Getting Clasie would be awesome

Amazing how many people are just looking for anything they perceive to be incorrect or wrong so they can criticize the board. Absolutely pathetic

No, it's not a little dig at MoPo ......... It's a giant dig at MoPo

Didn't pay for renewal in time?

Awesome. That's the winner

De trainer van Southampton heeft Graziano Pelle, met wie hij succesvol samenwerkte bij Feyenoord, en Dusan Tadic (FC Twente) aanbevolen bij de clubleiding. Koeman kijkt intussen ook bij andere clubs. Hij weet dat FC Twente vanwege de hoge financiële nood genoodzaakt is Tadic deze zomer te verkopen. Hij noemde de Servische linkspoot een paar maanden geleden in de aanloop naar FC Twente-Feyenoord de beste speler van de eredivisie. De Enschedese club, onlangs door de KNVB teruggezet naar categorie 1, wil ruim 12 miljoen euro voor Tadic vangen. Behalve Southampton heeft ook Sevilla concrete belangstelling voor Tadic. Translation (essence of the article) Koeman shops in Eredivisie Ronald Koeman is looking closely at the Eredivisie to strengthen his selection. The Southampton trainer has recommended buying Graziano Pelle, with whom he successfully worked at Feijenoord, and Dusan Tadic (FC twente) to the club’s board. Koeman is also looking at other clubs. He knows that FC Twente is under financial stress and is forced to sell Tadic. In the run-up to last season’s Feijenoord-Twente game Koeman called the Serbian left footer the best player in the Eredivisie. Twente will want 12 million Euro for Tadic. Seville also has shown real interest in Tadic.

chicken & egg situation. No players leaving - no need for Pelle?

In Dutch Paper De Telegraaf: http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/voetbal/buitenlands/22793985/__Koeman_meldt_zich_voor_Pelle__.html ROTTERDAM - Southampton heeft zich bij Feyenoord gemeld voor spits Graziano Pelle. De nieuwe club van Ronald Koeman heeft de directie van de stadionclub officieel op de hoogte gesteld van de interesse in de Italiaan. Feyenoord zal waarschijnlijk de hoofdprijs vragen voor Pelle. Technisch directeur Martin van Geel weet dat Southampton na de verkoop van Lambert, Luke Shaw en het aanstaande vertrek van Adam Lallana naar Liverpool genoeg geld te spenderen heeft. Bovendien loopt het contract van Pelle nog door tot 2017. Translation: Southampton has approached Feijenoord about forward Graziano Pelle. Ronald Koeman’s new club has officially informed the board of Feijenoord of their interest in the Italian player. Feijenoord will likely ask a high price for Pelle. Technical Director Martin van Geel knows that Southampton has plenty of money to spend after the sale of Lambert, Luke Shaw, and the departure of Adam Lallana to Liverpool. In addition, Pelle’s contact runs through 2017.

If only MoPo had realized the importance of the FA Cup, and hadn't fielded a B-team when we had the chance to really go for it, I am convinced we could have won it last season.

Totally agree. No need to panic. The club did well, and Koeman and Rees will give us some good surprises before the season starts

Dutch paper De Telegraaf is reporting that Suarez has an agreement "in principle" with Barca

I am very excited about Koeman. I expect MoPo will soon be forgotten and Saints will become a real force in the Prem.

After the latest biting incident, my guess is that he will get a very long suspension

No. Just the most overrated team to go out
