CityRanger Posted 27 September, 2014 Share Posted 27 September, 2014 Thank god we have you around to put everybody right with your natural talent to identify which players are going to do well In that first game Pelle played like a ****. Thankfully he played well on Saturday but lets see how he gets on up against some of the big boys. As you point out it takes time to gel. Well we shall see about Pelle. Is the jury still out for you Bronco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrich van Gobbel Posted 27 September, 2014 Share Posted 27 September, 2014 He was absolutely superb today...shame on anyone who didn't give him a chance at the beginning of the season! His link up play in particular was fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 27 September, 2014 Share Posted 27 September, 2014 Excellent today up against a strong centre half in Caulker and a fading Rio Ferdinand. Strong, good positional sense, great touch, didn't let that miss in the first half affect him and scored a goal of the season contender. Everything I hoped Dani Osvaldo would be.

Saint_clark Posted 27 September, 2014 Share Posted 27 September, 2014 My only worry is that he still misses a lot of chances as well, but I guess if he converted a decent percentage of the chances he gets then he'd be into double figures already.

SNSUN Posted 28 September, 2014 Share Posted 28 September, 2014 'Twas a stunning strike. Glad Caulker didn't make more of a meal of it though. And good as it was, I thought Jagielkas was the best of the days strikes, purely because it was so unexpected from a defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr X Posted 29 September, 2014 Share Posted 29 September, 2014 pelle or balotelli? balotelli is in a different stratosphere in terms of natural talent, shocking temperament and work ethic though! that kind of player would never fit in at saints, osvaldo was bad enough! hypothetically do you think osvaldo and pelle would work well together?........ shudder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 29 September, 2014 Share Posted 29 September, 2014 Interesting that people like to put a downer on Pelle for having easy goals in the Eredivisie but the same accusation is not levelled at Zlatan for scoring so freely in Ligue 1. On balance I would have thought overall that Ligue 1 was probably weaker than the Eredivisie. LvG was saying a short while back that Eredivisie was the equal to Serie A!!!!!

sussexsaint Posted 30 September, 2014 Share Posted 30 September, 2014 My only concern really is mounting yellows and the inevitable ban and any period of injury ( as he runs his pert arse off all match). we don't really have a like for like replacement and it still doesn't bode well that Mayuka gets on the bench.

Kingsland Red Posted 30 September, 2014 Share Posted 30 September, 2014 Pelle is fast becoming the striker I hoped Osvaldo would/could be. I was thinking along these lines the other day.

Zlatan has done it in major leagues across Europe. Pelle's failure to score goals anywhere other than Holland meant there had to be question marks. Fair play to Pelle, he is doing the business in the premier league so far.

On balance I would have thought overall that Ligue 1 was probably weaker than the Eredivisie. LvG was saying a short while back that Eredivisie was the equal to Serie A!!!!! LvG likes to speak highly about dutch tactics and the tactical skills the avarage dutch players and managers have and he may have a point there (especially when you hear english managers like Redknapp or Rodgers talking about football) but saying that the Eredivisie is equal to the Serie A is rubbish. The Ligue 1 is also a stronger competition than the Eredivisie, the avarage wage in the Eredivisie is 206K so you can understand that better players are looking elsewhere... The enormous salary gap between the Eredivisie and the other european competitions can't be closed with tactical skills only so there's why dutch clubs are playing minor roles in the Champions League and Uefa League where they used to be key players in the past. On the other hand: as a dutchman I prefer the Eredivisie over the Serie A, Ligue 1 and regularly over the PL too. Why? Because dutch managers ususally try to figure out how their team can win instead of thinking how to prevent a loss... It makes the game so much more fun to watch, like Johan Cruyff says: "you have to shoot, otherwise you can't score..." I can't imagine Pelle scoring the way he did in the Eredivisie, with Feyenoord the whole team played in his service and that won't happen at Saints. But I'm convinced that he will adjust to the pace of the PL and 15 or 16 goals this season sounds reasonable if he stays fit. Besides, defenders in the PL are better than those in the Eredivisie but all in all, they're not that good either. One more thing: I get the impression that many Saints fans are only looking for his goals but they should also have an eye for his participation in the set up of an attack. Pelle is able to hold the ball while his teammates are getting in position and he can deliver the right pass at the right time (sorry, can't find the english word for "steekbal" ).
