Remember I've got destroyed for this post, ha ha! ...

Koeman knocks himself on his chest, he is a gorilla, at Barça they called him Floquet de Neu (the albino gorilla). Haha in all seriousness, what he meant was that he expected Pellè to start good in the Premier League and to score some goals. 'Without myself knocking on the chest' means that he doesn't want to sound arrogant or as someone who knows everything. There is a boy from the Saints U18 squad who comes to Koeman to clean his shoes, Koeman told he is impressed by it, a good way to creates respect for eachother inside a club. It doesn't happen in the Netherlands.

I also do think it's the strongest league in the world if you look at the whole league. But if you look at the topteams this midweek, Dortmund won against Arsenal, Bayern won against City and Schalke played 1-1 at the Bridge. I know that doesn't say everything but the German and Spanish topclubs are currently better than the English topclubs I think but it can be totally different in may 2015. And even when the Premier League is not the best league, it's still the most beautiful league, I enjoy every game, no matter what game. How do you people think about it?

Haha basically he said: From the first moment everything was perfect, we have a good and balanced coaching staff and we can work perfect together. If there is anyone who doesn't understand the google translate translation ask me. I also love the Premier League, I don't say it's the strongest league in the world but it has something special.

http://www.stream2u.me/watch/41421/2/Premier-League-Southampton-FC-vs-Newcastle-United.html This one, it works perfect. Pellè is superb, he is an upgrade on Lambert

Graziano Pellè is world class, everything is perfect about him, his hair, his body, his anger issues, his interviews, his girlfriend, his playing style, everything! Haha no in all seriousness, Lambert was a proper striker, it's kind of overreacting from me to say Pellè is ten times the striker he was, but I like Pellè very much. I've seen at least 60 games of Pellè so I know where I'm talking about and I'm not the only one who loved him. Ex-striker Pierre van Hooijdonk would have wanted him in the Dutch squad if he was Dutch, I still want it due to the fact he never played for Italy. I'm sure a lot of Dutch journalists who are more knowledgeable than me would have preferred him over Huntelaar, thay says a lot, Huntelaar is one of the Bundesliga topscorers. There aren't a lot of players who are able to improve after the age of 27 but it seems Pellè does and why couldn't he be one of the PL topscorers? In 2013 Bony and Pellè were pretty equal and look at how Bony developed.. Pellè can be the perfect striker when you use him right, he is a typical 433 striker like Kluivert, he is strong in the air, can hold te ball (wins a lot of aerial duels), can score easy with both his head and foot.

I think Southampton have had the best transfer window compared to other Premier League. Basically, Saints FC have bought better and cheaper players than the players they have sold. If you compare them: Pellè vs Lambert, that's obvious for me, Pellè is ten times the striker Lambert is, if he is able to reach his usual level, he is world class, he will be one of the topscorers this season or next seaon. Tadic vs Lallana, I believe Tadic is as good if not better than Lallana. Tadic and Pellè were the two best Eredivisie players last season, you've got them very cheap. Alderweireld (on loan) vs Lovren, I don't think there is a huge difference between them, Alderweireld have had a worse year with Atletico but he has been outstanding in Amsterdam for years, if he is able to reach that level then I don't think Lovren is better. Bertrand (on loan) vs Shaw, you have sold Shaw for so much money, one of the best deals in the history of football, Shaw is undeniable better than Bertrand but I don't think Saints have ever depended on Shaw, he is a huge talent but at the same time a young and unexperienced player, won't really mis him. To be honest I haven't seen a lot of Mané but it's a well-known fact that RB Salzburg produces a lot of good player, their midfield is physically strong and very dynamic. Chambers left Saints but there are still Clyne/Alderweireld at RB and Morgan in midfield, no problem at all. The best signing is Koeman, great manager, good tactics and a lot of experiences, the fact that he made De Vrij Feyenoord captain at the age of 20 says a lot about Koeman and how he works with young players. Saints are going to be top 6!

Well, Narsingh is after a long injury period not the same player as before, he isn't even a starter for PSV. He won't be a good singing for any EPL team at the moment, maybe next year when he probably reach his old level.

I don't really believe that he will go to a big EPL club like Manchester United, he is a young player and he needs to play every week as starter. I rate the chance that he will leave 50/50 and when he leaves PSV I think he will go for a club like Southampton or Spurs, but he will cost you at least 20m pounds, I'm afraid. Otherwise an attacking line up with Tadic, Pellè and JWP is good enough. What players do you want to see to come?

I think based on what I've seen there is no reason to be bitter at all. Likewise Koeman said the points will come if we keep playing like this. I'm really impressed by James Ward-Prowse he played superb, Tadic also played a proper game. I'm hoping that Southampton will buy some good players and that Schneiderlin will stay in Southampton, what players do you like to see? I hope Depay, maybe not realistic but I think it'll be a good step up for Depay to play in a EPL club where he is sure he is a starter. For the central defender spot I'd say Fonte and Yoshida are actually ok and good enough, I don't know what central defender would be an ungrade on them. Maybe Vlaar but I don't see him leaving Aston Villa.

Agreed. GK: Stekelenburg, a quality GK for almost every club in the world if he reach his old level or Vermeer from Ajax. CB: Vlaar or V. Dijk CF: I'd say Hernandez if possible. Fer, Leiva and Rojo are nice 'bonus signings'

Exactly, Hiddink signed for the two next years till Euro 2016 after that moment it's sure Danny Blind will take over the job. Before Hiddink's announcement there was a little competition between him and Koeman but Hiddink gets the job and gets his revanche for 1998. It's Koeman his dream to manage Barcelona or Dutch NT once, but I'm sure he will stay a few years at Southampton if they don't fire him. So don't be afraid after Hiddink it's Danny Blind who will become manager. About the transfer rumours I've heard the name Hernandez, for me it seems like an excellent signing but I don't see how he can play together with Pellè. Pellè is more a 433 striker, with only him up front, with Hernandez you should play whether 442 or 352 with two strikers, I think. Do you think he can also play as winger? Of course Pellè also played with Feyenoord in a 352 system, but it's not his thing, he is an 'aanspeelpunt' a striker that holds the ball and passes the ball backwards so that midfielders can run to the goal and shoot. Rojo or Vlaar, both great players, gonna be happy if one them joins Saints FC.
