Bearsy Posted 27 June, 2014 Posted 27 June, 2014 Like Pele but the 'l's are silent. So something like pe-yay. give over toon saint it clearly isn't that!
pangy Posted 27 June, 2014 Posted 27 June, 2014 Bendtner would be a strong sign of intent for life in the Championship imo £70mill in the transfer kitty,sign Bendtner on a free. I think the media/press is trolling Southampton hard at the minute,as if its not bad enough we lose AD & LS lets throw in a Bentdner rumour to send the fans over the edge,I will never take that man serious after this interview http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1268407/Nicklas-Bendtner-Am-I-best-strikers-world-Yes-Ill-prove-season.html
Toon Saint Posted 27 June, 2014 Posted 27 June, 2014 give over toon saint it clearly isn't that! It requires a sophisticated tongue bears. Do you have one?
Super_Saint Posted 27 June, 2014 Posted 27 June, 2014 Is pelle pronounced as in to rhyme with bell? Or is it like pele? Or some 3rd option which is yet to occur to me? It's Pel-leh
Saint Rees Posted 27 June, 2014 Posted 27 June, 2014 Di Marzio saying Pelle could be done Monday. Just seen this, 10m Euros, hope RoKo can get the best out of him and he's not another Wolfswinkle!
Bearsy Posted 27 June, 2014 Posted 27 June, 2014 It requires a sophisticated tongue bears. Do you have one? had no complaints! I've decided that, all evidence to the contrary, it clearly rhymes with bell. It will make life easier for headline writers i.e., "Arse hopes cum to a Pelle-End" - this is for when we knock Arsenal out of Champions League
WealdSaint Posted 27 June, 2014 Posted 27 June, 2014 As my wife is Danish, I have watched Bendtner playing a lot for Denmark. He is the opposite of a lot of our top players who are S***t for their country and great for their clubs. If Koeman can motivate him he might do well for us as a short term cover for JRod.
Saint Charlie Posted 27 June, 2014 Posted 27 June, 2014 Pelle on the face of it is a good signing and RK will know how to get the best from him. Bit of a gamble at his age on a 4 yr deal and £10m fee but we have a bit of cash to chuck around now.
Toon Saint Posted 27 June, 2014 Posted 27 June, 2014 (edited) Pelle on the face of it is a good signing and RK will know how to get the best from him. Bit of a gamble at his age on a 4 yr deal and £10m fee but we have a bit of cash to chuck around now. 10m euro so about £8m. Not a bad fee and at least he will be wanting to actually play for us. Edited 27 June, 2014 by Toon Saint
sydneysaint17 Posted 27 June, 2014 Posted 27 June, 2014 Going to put my neck on the line and relay that Pelle will be Soton player before of the week. Bear in mind same source told Poch had verbally agreed to stay 3 weeks before he signed for Tottenham...
doggface Posted 27 June, 2014 Posted 27 June, 2014 Di Marzio saying Pelle could be done Monday. Yep - Di Marzio is best in the business. No b.s. Welcome Pelle - no pressure mate : /
goneawol Posted 27 June, 2014 Posted 27 June, 2014 Not rumours as such, but two names that have reached me recently as potential Shaw replacements: Nicolai Boilesen and Jetro Willems. Both play in the Netherlands, almost certainly known to Koeman, both young and have fledgling or potential International careers. I know nothing about either, but their names have reached me so thought I'd pass them on. As for Southampton, they remain very interested in signing Kolodziejczak this summer. However, their new manager, Koeman, is thought to prefer an unnamed Dutch player for the same position. http://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2014/english-clubs-circle-around-kolodziejczak/
Baird of the land Posted 27 June, 2014 Posted 27 June, 2014 Not overly enthused by the notion of Pelle. 28 yr old with no experience of premier league. Suppose he can't be much worse than the last Pele we signed though. Bendtner, odd one. Clearly got buckets of talent and on a free but at 26 & no doubt ego sized wages make it less attractive.
Saint Garrett Posted 27 June, 2014 Posted 27 June, 2014 As a player if definitely take Bendter on a free. But his attitude makes me way less keen.
Mouldy Coat Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Willems a couple of years ago was destined for big things. He's a great player, very exciting to watch but he is out for a few months with a knee injury, so probably rules that one out
Whitey Grandad Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Bendtner in a free - The Metro Hmm, not convinced. If he were any good somebody would have paid good money for him.
Mallagroth Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 I worry that anyone really good is not going to want to come to us when every other fecker is trying to get out. Still bring on the next season. Even with 10 kids parked behind the ball, theres always the chance we can get a 1-0 against team, bring it on.
saint_ed Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 At the moment I'm somewhat underwhelmed by the prospect of Pelle, I just don't get a great feeling about it. I think we need to be looking for a proven striker from a much stronger domestic league in addition to Pelle.
Pastor Patrón Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Don't want pelle, he sounds and looks rubbish and if that's the clubs idea of a big signing to placate the fans they're f#cling clueless
Olallana Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Don't want pelle, he sounds and looks rubbish and if that's the clubs idea of a big signing to placate the fans they're f#cling clueless You´d still prefer Jordan Rhodes?
modern matron Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Don't want pelle, he sounds and looks rubbish and if that's the clubs idea of a big signing to placate the fans they're f#cling clueless Are you an expert on Pelle or a you the clueless one? Be honest you have no idea whether he will be good enough, he's not a big enough name is he? Maybe we should go for another big name like Osvaldo?
Pastor Patrón Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 You´d still prefer Jordan Rhodes? Without a shadow of a doubt, I'd rather we signed Rhodes to Ings as well
Saints foreva Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Without a shadow of a doubt, I'd rather we signed Rhodes to Ings as well Aren't Blackburn asking for a ridiculous sum of money for someone who has only ever played as high as the Championship?
Pastor Patrón Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Are you an expert on Pelle or a you the clueless one? Be honest you have no idea whether he will be good enough, he's not a big enough name is he? Maybe we should go for another big name like Osvaldo? You've just ignored the whole point of what I was saying. If they're trying to time it thinking it will soften the blow of losing Shaw and Lallana, then no he's not a big enough name or good enough. He might well turn out to be a good signing but it's hardly an exciting purchase to keep te fans and players happy, which is what the club needs
Saint Without a Halo Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 If claims of the board being so clueless are true they probably think they are signing Pele and he certainly would have been big enough to overshadow the fire sale! I seem to recollect we did sign a Pele before too and he didn't live up to expectations! hope this one does!
Faz Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 You've just ignored the whole point of what I was saying. If they're trying to time it thinking it will soften the blow of losing Shaw and Lallana, then no he's not a big enough name or good enough. He might well turn out to be a good signing but it's hardly an exciting purchase to keep te fans and players happy, which is what the club needs We get it alright. There is nothing the club can do that will impress you.
Bucks Saint Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 You've just ignored the whole point of what I was saying. If they're trying to time it thinking it will soften the blow of losing Shaw and Lallana, then no he's not a big enough name or good enough. He might well turn out to be a good signing but it's hardly an exciting purchase to keep te fans and players happy, which is what the club needs But you said he sounds and looks rubbish which is quite different. And wrong
Pastor Patrón Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 But you said he sounds and looks rubbish which is quite different. And wrong Yes because I do think he looks rubbish as well, compared to the quality of players bought in last summer it'd be a disappointing signing
Polaroid Saint Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 I seem to recollect we did sign a Pele before too and he didn't live up to expectations! hope this one does! aha! But I fondly remember the extra revenue in shirt sales. Happy days. Aha. still sent from my effing nexus 4, but I have found the setting now dammit.
teenagegsaint Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Without a shadow of a doubt, I'd rather we signed Rhodes to Ings as well Rhodes over Pelle? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh dear.
Ed Rooney Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Don't want pelle, he sounds and looks rubbish and if that's the clubs idea of a big signing to placate the fans they're f#cling clueless As a regular follower of Dutch football for a number of years, your comment made me laugh. Pelle for the last two seasons has been as good if not better than RVP and Huntelaaar were when they played in Dutch league. I am not saying he is better than RVP by any stretch but as a goal scorer he is as clinical as someone like Huntelaar. Not **** and would be a very good replacement and an upgrade to Lambert of last year.
Convict Colony Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Tenuous link number 462, just checked to see if Ronko has decided to add anymore people to his twitter feed and I can report he has added Jordy Classie.
Convict Colony Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 I would also like to think that the reason we haven't signed anyone at present is that our main targets are still at the world cup playing.
Batman Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 I would also like to think that the reason we haven't signed anyone at present is that our main targets are still at the world cup playing.
Bucks Saint Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Yes because I do think he looks rubbish as well, compared to the quality of players bought in last summer it'd be a disappointing signing Osvaldo? He was the only striker purchased.
Pastor Patrón Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Osvaldo? He was the only striker purchased. Osvaldo's a fantastic player, but I meant generally our signings last summer were all of an extremely high calibre. I really hope we can get Osvaldo playing properly for us this season, it'd be a monumental boost
Convict Colony Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 I live in hope, Brazil v Chile now and I am supporting Sampoali's boys.
Batman Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 I live in hope, Brazil v Chile now and I am supporting Sampoali's boys. gary medel and john bosejour?
Whitey Grandad Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 I would also like to think that the reason we haven't signed anyone at present is that our main targets are still at the world cup playing. Torres must be back home by now
TwoPints Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 And because Ronnie has been holed up in a nunnery for the past week and doesn't start work at St Marys until next week.
saint_ed Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 According to Corriere Dello Sport Stefan de Vrij is to join Man Utd after the World Cup.
Olallana Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 According to Corriere Dello Sport Stefan de Vrij is to join Man Utd after the World Cup. And for only £8m-ish....!!
Badger Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 According to Corriere Dello Sport Stefan de Vrij is to join Man Utd after the World Cup. This has previously been reported in the UK press as a likely move after the WC. I expect RK will make an enquiry, but if mancs are interested then we're buggered. Hope he has a bust up with Van Gaal in the next couple of weeks !! Or perhaps we'll pursue Van Dyke instead.
Badger Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Another of RK's proteges likely to be on the move, Bruno Martins Indi, to Porto 8.5m euros. http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/wk-voetbal-2014/22794745/__Martins_Indi_naar_FC_Porto__.html
northam soul Posted 29 June, 2014 Posted 29 June, 2014 Maybe the wrong thread but we have just tied up a deal with a kids soccer school to have first refusal on its youngsters. We have paid a serious amount of money for a 14 year old centre half of which the proceeds go to Plymouth I believe as he was on their books. Aston Villa also wanted the deal with the school but we were chosen. Perhaps this 14 year old can be a ready made replacement for Lovren come August.
a1ex2001 Posted 29 June, 2014 Posted 29 June, 2014 Osvaldo's a fantastic player, but I meant generally our signings last summer were all of an extremely high calibre. I really hope we can get Osvaldo playing properly for us this season, it'd be a monumental boost Look back to last summer plenty of people questioned the value of lovren it's only time that has proved him such quality, osvaldo was the one that had everyone excited and he turned out to be a muppet! Where is this obvious quality if which you speak?
Bucks Saint Posted 29 June, 2014 Posted 29 June, 2014 Another of RK's proteges likely to be on the move, Bruno Martins Indi, to Porto 8.5m euros. http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/wk-voetbal-2014/22794745/__Martins_Indi_naar_FC_Porto__.html Cheap as chips these dutch players
