Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 1 September, 2014 Share Posted 1 September, 2014 Maybe you should get your mate to text you? He won't tell me anything. Not spoken to me since I bowed to pressure from people on here and named him. Understandable really, it wasn't a very clever thing to do but I was sick of people giving me grief. I've had a couple of texts about a player he scouted in the states who has just signed for a championship team but **** all Saints related. Think I've burned my bridges with that one.

Deals were either done early today, or premature interview? I think they just film the interview assuming the deal will get done, and don't release it if the deal falls through.

I don't seriously believe they want to wind people up and force the media dept to work later than necessary. Agree, regarding Toby, Koeman interview was recorded earlier than player interview with shirt & scarf. Just think they are pretty sure of the deal going through early on. Like K,Billy said, relax... Must admit they had me a bit worried (but as soon as the Gaston to Hull story broke I was fairly confident). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 2 September, 2014 Share Posted 2 September, 2014 Being Senegalese do we have to worry about a work permit?? He may well have dual nationality having played for Metz a couple of years ago, so he'd be an EU citizen and not need a permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't seriously believe they want to wind people up and force the media dept to work later than necessary. Probably the case, but they may also hold off announcing something done in the day as other deals are in the pipeline (eg Gaston to Hull) and may increase our bargaining hand to appear that the deal isn't closed.

St Jim Posted 2 September, 2014 Share Posted 2 September, 2014 He may well have dual nationality having played for Metz a couple of years ago, so he'd be an EU citizen and not need a permit. I've tried to look into it but can't find anything about his nationality other than Senegalese so would think he does need one (unless that was the delay in announcing his signing). Where's MLG when you need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzmeister Posted 2 September, 2014 Share Posted 2 September, 2014 Cracking signing, but was anyone remotely bothered that in RoKo interview about the player he implies that saints were a step forward from where he is now, but bigger steps may be available should he perform?

Nah, perhaps it's better that we get used to that fact now?! It's true, if he does well here he could move to a Top 4 club in the next few years. Koeman seems a very realistic kind of guy.

Next summer more likely if he does well (look at Lovren). Lets just enjoy a great season with a strong squad before we do this all again next year though!

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 2 September, 2014 Share Posted 2 September, 2014 As there are no pics of him with the kit I assume he wasn't in the country yesterday? No think he had his medical in Germany. He looks ridiculously quick. If nothing else he should win us plenty of free kicks and penalties, and we seem to be quite a threat from set pieces.

Colinjb Posted 2 September, 2014 Share Posted 2 September, 2014 Yes it's only a youtube video, but he has got such an astonishingly poised turn of acceleration and close control, he will not have the same space here but he should cause a few problems.

S-Clarke Posted 2 September, 2014 Share Posted 2 September, 2014 Pace always causes problems. It frightens the life out of defenders when you have players running at you, so I'm confident he will add to us. It's something we probably haven't had since Jason left and we were crying out for someone like him last year in my opinion, as there were times when the tip tap around the penalty box wasn't actually going to do anything.

When Lallana left, we thought that's it, Who will we, just have left, Then Lovern went, the massive **** And left us no-one at the back, So koeman came, And made some noise, The squad was full of little boys, So signings galore, we brought players in, and then there's this guy, We bought for ten mil, You've had your time, You've got the power, Your about to have your finest hour, SADIO!!!! All we hear is, Sadio Mane.... Needs some work but lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted 2 September, 2014 Share Posted 2 September, 2014 Whoever came up with the 'Sadio Mane' chant to Radio Gaga is a genius - I've had it in my head all morning. Definitely one that should catch on - simple, distinct and not the usual chant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Rees Posted 2 September, 2014 Share Posted 2 September, 2014 Like the idea of Radio Gaga to be used as his chant, but 'all we hear is' and 'whats new?' could be changed, as could other words for the chorus All we hear is Sadio Mane Sadio Mane Sadio Mane All we hear is Sadio Mane Sadio Mane Sadio what's new?
