Just received this from a Dutch friend:

 

"Congratulations with Ronald Koeman. He did really well at Feyenoord. Hopefully he can do the same at Southampton. Rumours are that he is going to take our striker , Graziano Pelle with him. Also a great move. This Italian scored about 50 goals the last 2 weeks, very popular at Feyenoord. . A good bloke, sometimes a bit too full of himself, but when you score nobody bothers about that. When used well, he will do well over there. I’ll be watching Southamptom next season."

 

Seen Feyenoord and Pelle a few times but wonder how far they press as aggressively as us. Worth asking your dutch friend - really don't want to see that intensity or part of the game diluted.

@JWTelegraph: Ronald Koeman to #saintsfc now imminent. There was a formal offer Friday and contract now with lawyers...

 

@JWTelegraph: Koeman back today from holiday in Turkey and planning to bring his brother, Edwin, as assistant as well as fitness coach Jan Kluitenburg

 

Read this on Kluitenburg :

 

Especially in the beginning of the season has ended, there was some criticism Kluitenberg. So that he had found followers selection train too hard, causing Feyenoord not picked up from the first three league matches one point.

I read that as he trained the players too hard, leaving them tired for their first three games of the season, which they lost.

This is an exciting appointment, as disappointed as I was with MoPo's departure it seems we are not reverting to a journeyman manager. I also feel that RK is coming for the right reasons it is not a stepping stone he has been around to long for that. The futures bright the future red and white.

Nobody else think we're being played by RK? Contract formerly offered on Friday. He takes off to Turkey for the weekend to mull it over.

 

Or maybe he's gone to see what Galatasary are offering??

 

 

We've now done a bit of leaking ourselves to push for an answer..

 

Just me then :-)

He is from a nation that I am fond of. I have Netherlands blood... It is in the surname. I seem to end up back in the Netherlands for one reason or another and was close to moving there in 1991.

 

Went there twice with school and have worked for 2 companies with a head office there. One of them I had to go out to once a month.

 

Went on my stage do there and since being with my wife discovered that she used to go to euro camp a lot with her family do duinrell and yes you guessed in the Netherlands and have ended up back there 3 times.

 

Keep a close eye on the international team and have a soft spot for Ajax who I have been lucky to see twice.

 

It is a country I would love to live in!

 

Very happy and the right style of football for us!

After reading several sites , it all seems to be decided then. Ronald is on his way.

 

Cant be arsed to read the previous 23 pages but are we happy with this? I have no idea.

 

The poll at the top of the page might be of use.

I haven't got any Dutch blood.

 

But I once met a Dutch girl in a pub wearing inflatable shoes. I asked her for a date and she said 'yes', but she didn't turn up the next day.

 

When i tried to get hold of her I was told she had popped her clogs.

 

Coat? I'm OK, thanks, I'm wearing a thick jumper.
