trousers Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Just spoken with our Dutch visitor. Voice lit up when talking about Tadíc - "One of the best players I have seen in our league recently. Very talented, is technically gifted in ways that lots of other players aren't." He was keen to explain how good he is going forward and reeled off his goal scoring and assist stats that we have all seen - said he would fit in well. On Pellé (he pronounced it Pell-ah, though that could just be the way he speaks) - "He is a phenomena, we found him on the beach and Koeman gave him a chance. Before this no one really wanted him. He plays well for Koeman, but hasn't always done the same for other coaches." Said he thinks that if he was to get chances, he would score anywhere but said to expect maybe 2 red cards a year. Very enthusiastic about the way he held the ball up and ability to bring other players into the game. On Koeman, he was also very enthusiastic, although didn't say anything we don't already know. Was explaining that young players thrive under him, and that quite a few have progressed into the national team. Said that he is good at bringing the best out of players and getting players to play for the team and for him. Was very positive in general - mostly about Tadíc and Koeman, but seemed to think that Pellé is a gamble, despite scoring 50 goals in 2 years. Cheers for posting. Always good to read these genuine insights. Thanks
trousers Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Both Tadic and Pelle to be unveiled at Koeman's press conference on Friday please! There's a press conference tomorrow? Any idea on time of day? Cheers
Toon Saint Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 There's a press conference tomorrow? Any idea on time of day? Cheers Just wishful thinking on my part. I think Crooky has said there will be one end of this week or early next. Exact date may well be dependent on how quickly we get the signings done as I'm sure the club would like to present Koeman to the media with Pelle and Tadic in situ. Speaking of....

Yeah but what about the rest of him, do we really want him if his right leg isn't that creative?

He was keen to explain how good he is going forward and reeled off his goal scoring and assist stats that we have all seen - said he would fit in well. I'll take that. 6 games a year where Gallagher can be used then.

Bob, did you not read the example of avian violence that apparently is common place in the Netherlands? It may explain the leg and to be honest, I'm worried for the safety of the Saints contingent currently there. Also, apparently Rockin Ronnie is of Dutch nobility. A title like oefenmeester has to be like a baron or something. We'd be wise to withhold criticism of such a powerful oefenmeester as Sir Rockin Ronnie.

grezz Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 'oefenmeester' means someone who is brilliant at making omelette surely?

Webby Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 OK, time to stop this. It's been way more than 3 minutes Yeah but, you know, egg joke.

JxgrSaint Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Can't we have a whip round and see if there are any more yokes out there?

UpweySaint Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Im glad we can all stay chirpy even after having players poached!
Saint_Abroad Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Listen, Tadic isn't going to go over easy with Lovren. On the sunny side up, they'll put their differences behind them.
angelman Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 This thread has just scrambled my brain.. Hardly surprising if you've all been egging each other on.
Beckenham Saint Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 I'm afried he won't sign after all this. I don't think the jokes are that bad...
Whitey Grandad Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 I don't think the jokes are that bad... They're good in parts. How much are we going to shell out for him?
Beckenham Saint Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 They're good in parts. How much are we going to shell out for him? Haven't seen any solid figures, only people saying eggs or y amount but nothing concrete.
Graffito Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 How much will we have to shell out? Too slow. That's me done.
saint lard Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Whatever happens we have to 'soldier' on. We may contend a 'cup'... Aslong as the board don't 'duck' their responsibilities. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
hasper57saint Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Sounds like 'oven master' in English so perhaps he' s a qualified Shift Manager at AGA?
Aussie_Chef Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 You idiots are frying my membrane.. This forum is slowly becoming more and more plucked up..
PokingFun Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 I guarantee that if this deal does not go ahead there will be a wave of further neggativity sweeping the forum from Alpine and his glass half empty soldiers. Like MLG omeletting things develop between now and the end of the transfer window and hope that we end up with a cracking squad rather than a load of lame ducks.
saintmonkey1979 Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Sounds like 'oven master' in English so perhaps he' s a qualified Shift Manager at AGA? Nice! A whole new range of jokes!
Big Bad Bob Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Sounds like 'oven master' in English so perhaps he' s a qualified Shift Manager at AGA? Can he push a pineapple, can he shake a tree? Will he make the players go to the left, go to the right jump and down to their knees??
sussexsaint Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 This has all been a bit premature - too much counting of chickens....
itchen_dan Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Feels to me like it's getting towards Guan update time soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
sussexsaint Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 I expecting the update to be - he signed and has now gone on strike until we let him sign for Liverpool
Big Bad Bob Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 I wonder who will sign first the Tadic or the Pelle !? No, can't work out the egg joke in there??
KingdomCome Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 No, can't work out the egg joke in there?? Think he might be fed up with them, the yolks were getting pretty oeuful
lloydie Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Think he might be fed up with them, the yolks were getting pretty oeuful Come on now, it's not eggsactly rocket science...
LordHester Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Come on now, it's not eggsactly rocket science... Really ... that's un oeuf.
Snopper Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 hope we aren't putting all our eggs in one basket. Or, when there was a fire in a theatre in Bibao, putting all your Basques in one exit. Coat, please!
Guan 2.0 Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Hello all, I've been trying to get a clear update on this, as the plan was to have tadic sign first for around €10 million, but for some reason unknown to me as yet it's slowed right down. Now it looks like Pelle will come first. I will post what i can as soon as i find out why! Oh, and K.Billy has mentioned the name of the GK, will verify with my source and KB as whether I can post or not.
