trousers Posted 15 June, 2015 Share Posted 15 June, 2015 They will have known about his low contract fee already, in Spain those aren't exactly a secret. Indeed, I thought the same. Just paraphrasing what the talk sport chap was saying. Maybe I misheard and he was talking more about the fact that saints being so close to a deal would alert other clubs to step in. All pretty obvious stuff I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real insight from what I heard. Just said that Malaga were planning on building their team around him this season and that he was laughed at in Spain 2 weeks ago when he said he would be leaving for the premier league.

buctootim Posted 15 June, 2015 Share Posted 15 June, 2015 Sounds like it's been going on for weeks, so pretty sure he's ours tbh. But its not like when two clubs agree a fee and get exclusivity. Its a free for all for anyone who meets the release clause - and its common for agents to delay signing on the dotted line whilst they wait and see if any better offers are flushed out.

verlaine1979 Posted 15 June, 2015 Share Posted 15 June, 2015 Cheers. So a goal every 3 games, not too dusty considering his age/team over those seasons. Not bad at all - Pelle's average for the league was 270 last season going by the same data (Transfermarkt). Juanmi doesn't look like he sets up many though - 2 assists last season, none the season before. I note Pelle only got 2 last season as well - considering Lambert got into double figures the season before, it perhaps explains a bit about why we sometimes looked a bit disjointed in attack.

Saint IQ Posted 15 June, 2015 Share Posted 15 June, 2015 If he's comfortable anywhere in the front 3 of a 4-3-3, why would we necessarily need another striker? Because we still won't have a out n out goal scorer, Rodriguez got most of his from the left, Pelle is our 'Target man', Long isn't going to get more than 10 goals a season n plays wide most of the time. I might be being greedy but if you say Jay Rod, Long and Juanmi mostly play wide or behind the front man that leaves Pelle as our only player who regularly plays the lone striker role!

Saint IQ Posted 15 June, 2015 Share Posted 15 June, 2015 The more I look into him the more he seems like Bojan at Stoke, both in playing style and physically. And hopefully he'll have the same sort of impact too. Think this completes our work in the final third for this summer (Jay Rod extension, and Juanmi signed). That would mean the following players competing for 3-4 positions on the pitch at any one time: Pelle, Rodriguez, Mane, Tadic, Juanmi, Long, JWP. RW-Long/Tadic AM-Tadic/Juanmi/JWP LW-Mane/Rodriguez ST-Pelle/Long/Rodriguez Looks pretty good depth to be fair, but just lacking that 15/20 goals a year striker unless we rely on Rodriguez coming back even better and playing up top?

Only two new signings scored more than Pelle last season: Costa and Sanchez. 2. Which of Jay Rod's goals were scored from the left? Most were scored as a central player with Lambert moving wide.
