Hopefully a dutch speaker can properly translate it as the google translation is, well...this Besides FC Porto have also shown interest in Southampton and Lazio Jordy Clasie (23). Feyenoord wants tenfold Orange International in principle to sell and requires a transfer fee of eight million. Furthermore Terence Kongolo interest from Southampton, VfB Stuttgart and Hamburger SV. In The defender prefers to stay at Feyenoord, but a substantial salary improvement must reciprocate stand because he is still one of the lowest-earning players in the club belongs. For him, however, the same as for Clasie (photo): basically, he can not leave because Feyenoord watching for an exodus. Left earlier after all Bruno Martins Indi (FC Porto), Daryl Janmaat (Newcastle United) and Graziano Pelle (Southampton). "If we Stefan de Vrij selling is the past," said technical director Martin van Geel previously al "We want to own this season for the day with a strong team." Incidentally had to start this week, no club has reported for the surprisingly good WK-goer's Free. "That never ceases to amaze me, 'says Van Geel. "But it's still early in the transfer window. I can not imagine that it remains so quiet. " Clasie next week against Besiktas (Champions League qualifying round) simply Feyenoord captain again. Assuming he still plays at De Kuip. The international took last season tire on Graziano Pelle, who in turn was succeeded Stefan. Quite the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still stand by my suggestion for him that he probably should support some other team, even if he claims to have "supported" Saints since 1954.

Sometimes it is justified - my neighbour looked at me in a rather strange way when I asked in the 85th minute and when we were 3-0 up against Norwich at SMS last season, whether he thought it was in the bag yet. The descent into Championship, financial meltdown, the brink of liquidation etc. But amongst all that, with me there are times of huge (and unrealistic, like most fans) optimism. It is the lack of these optimistic times that pervades the posts of too many posters. Maybe it's an age thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadoldgit Posted 23 July, 2014 Share Posted 23 July, 2014 (edited) DP is a saintsweb legend, part of the old gang who lives through the highs and lows of being a Saints fan with humourous and humble spirit. Very engaging and educated mind. The forum used to be fun with characters at the fore. It has changed now and keyboard abuse seems the accepted norm, it isn't! I know the characters are still here, they just keep a low profile! One day maybe we will take a step back and realise we all have the same aim Goodness knows why DP is now coming in for some flak? This place is gradually being taken over my mean spirited, depressive, pessimistic wrist slitters who, through their blinkered filters, not only want to suck the joy that any of us have in supporting SFC, they clearly do not have any themselves. If it really is that bad for you, go away and do something else. You may be miserable but there is no need to drag everyone else down with you. Rock on Phil!!!

Badger Posted 23 July, 2014 Share Posted 23 July, 2014 I'd have thought we'd have been better off signing Timothée Kolodziejczak from Nice for £5 or £6 million. Just as much of a gamble but a lot less money. He's 6ft 2 and can play at left back or centre back. And at only 22 he's a good age and will probably gives us a couple of years before we sell him on at a profit. Another player we were linked to last year was Lucas Mendes at Marseille - a Brazilian who can also play at left back or centre back Rojo would be a sign of intent though At one point he looked set to join West Ham.One report I read at the time of this falling through said Nice wanted £9m. Although this article suggests agents fees were a problem: http://www.insidefutbol.com/2014/07/21/west-ham-capture-of-nice-defender-timothee-kolodziejczak-scuppered-by-agent-fees/151015/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently that is 2 for 3/4, but if Lovren goes we are looking incredibly weak in the back 5.

CB Saint Posted 23 July, 2014 Share Posted 23 July, 2014 it's all part of Phils persona. Very generous if you ever meet him. Ok if like myself golf is not of interest then your eyes glaze over when the stories are recounted but if you like golf some will be quite envious of his news. Discount him if you like but the man has a fantastic insight to the Arab mind and world and anybody thinking of doing business over there would be best served if they spoke to him first. Personally the insults are unwarranted but this is the internet and you do get some weirdos I like Phil - I called him a massive W4nker because his titbit has consigned me to a day of checking this bloody board hoping for something special to happen, all the time knowing there will just be pages of hysterical hand wringing.

Come on PR machine, get your heads off the pillow and get into action. As I read it everyone wants out and no bugger wants to come in as a result.
