Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 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... http://www.krcgenk.be/nl/a-kern/spelers/vossen/463 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!
CWD Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 When I first saw it I thought it was Matt Crocker, the Academy manager. Looks a bit like him: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2086644,00.html
Saint Charlie Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 Doesn't look like Vossen, too old. Probably someone who works at the academy.
S-Clarke Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 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.
Minsk Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 vossem is the Russian word for the number Eight. One number less than nine is eight. We kept the number 19 free for someone, maybe Vossen?
S-Clarke Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 Looks nothing like Vossen or Gorrks, probably just a member of Cortese's team.
Minsk Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 this guy? He is very carefully covering his earlobes. He doesn't want to be identified by the Saintsweb detectives for some reason. Hmmmmmm........
revolution saint Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 this guy? Well it's definitely not Vossen
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 7 August, 2011 Author Posted 7 August, 2011 Don't think that's the guy they showed on the screen in the ground though not the Sky coverage. Not the fella I thought I saw although it was only a quick glance!

St. Neil Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 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.
revolution saint Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 Bloody phones! It could be early onset alzhiemers - get yourself checked out. Better safe than sorry and all that.
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 Actually it is a problem between keyboard and seat
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 7 August, 2011 Author Posted 7 August, 2011 That's where I went wrong. It's touch screen & I was standing... Nonetheless, did I make my point?
Silvercherry Saint Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 this guy? Looks like he is getting thumped in the head!
saintstr1 Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 Looks like Frank Lampards younger Brother , LOL
Belgiansaint Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 Damme it .... not more Jelle .... check this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtfqfKzyXqo not so bad for a left-footed player
Crab Lungs Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 this guy? Looks a bit chunkier than J Rod, tbf
Matthew Le God Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 (edited) 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. Edited 7 August, 2011 by Matthew Le God
saint si Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 Don't mean to pour water on all this speculation, but I am reliably informed that the guy who was shown on the big screen at SMS (don't know about Sky) is our financial director...
Dazza82 Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 The bloke in the picture has a wedding ring on all the players mentioned are not married i presume

Don't doubt Flybe's new fleet of propulsion-based A338's.
Pahars_Legend Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 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.
Pilchards Posted 7 August, 2011 Posted 7 August, 2011 (edited) 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? Edited 7 August, 2011 by Pilchards

That bloke looks like a associate with the club, same suit as Sibley in his twitter pic. He is also wearing the same Saints tie as Adkins and Sibley do. He is just a club official, not a potential signing.
