Jelle Vossen


Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Recommended Posts

Ok; below are a few posts from the Kaspars Gorkss thread based on a fella they showed on the big screen during the second half of yesterdays game. At first I thought it might have been Gorkss but, as others have pointed out, he was probably too young to be Gorkss. So I did a bit of searching and now I'm wondering if it was Jelle Vossen who we were linked with earlier in pre-season? Looks a bit like Gorkss but younger. Also - tenuous link time - on Friday we were linked with a massive bid and two of the names which came forward were a double bid for JAY Rodriguez and Danny FOX. Interesting'y, Vossen Google translated from Dutch (according to Google Translate) means FOX or FOXES and his first name obviously starts with a 'J'. Maybe these were clues leaked out but misinterpreted? All guesswork, I know, but stranger things have happened. Poirot, over and out...

 

Half way thru 2nd half' date=' they showed someone watching the game from 1 of the boxes. Think it might have been Gorkss but eyesight isn't the best! Anyone else see it? Could someone post a pic so I can try to ID it?[/quote']

 

Pic of him v Sheff Utd has him with short mousy brown hair.

 

yep pretty sure it was him, strange that they showed a 2 sec shot him, took a couple of mins for the penny to drop.

 

Just got in. Yes looks quite like him but not 100%. Fingers crossed!

 

If you're talking about the guy who they said was Cortese by mistake, I'm pretty sure it was NOT him. He looked too young to be Gorkss IMO.

 

Think you're right actually, now I've looked at some more photos of Gorkss.

 

This guy looks not dissimilar and is younger and we've been linked with him earlier in pre-season...

That might be something of a coup, if we signed him although it seems unlikely that he would end up in the NPC ahead of a potential European 2012 finals for Belgium.

 

In any event, I doubt he'd want to wear the No5 shirt

 

19 is free though!

I would be staggered if we signed him, He's being tracked by the likes of Everton and Juventus. FWIW I don't know who they panned to on sky, but It's probably not anyone to get excited about! If it was a potential new signing they'd be locked away in a box.

Right Vossen is Belgian, the Democratic Republic of Congo was once known as the Belgian Congo. The Congo has a huge jungle and the other day on twitter FootballAgent46 said

 

"Southampton going to be my tip for promotion from Championship. Jungle drums tell me massive bid been thrown in by them for more players"

 

So he has to be joining us I reckon.

Unlikely he got from Burnley to Southampton in the hour and a half between the Burnley vs Watford game finishing at 5pm and that photo being taken at 6:30pm. And then decided to put on a suit and Saints tie like all behind scenes staff wear. He is most likely someone behind the scenes in Cortese's team.

Don't doubt Flybe's new fleet of propulsion-based A338's.

Pretty sure if a player was signing for us they wouldn't be wearing a suit, just smart-ish clothes. The players themseleves don't wear suits to the games anymore I believe, just the club polo shirts. When Guly and Jaidi were watching us before they signed neither wore a suit. That bloke looks like a associate with the club, same suit as Sibley in his twitter pic.

One of the guys shown on the sky camera's could be a Saints official as he was wearing a saints tie, If you look about the 94 minute you will see him flapping his arms about near the touchline.

 

Any idea who he was?

He is also wearing the same Saints tie as Adkins and Sibley do. He is just a club official, not a potential signing.
