Let's merge the 'Toby', 'Schneiderlin' and all other threads into that one. That would be really sensible. What you really mean is "I got there first! Me, me, me, look at me!". Which is rather childish and tiresome. This forum should be about a shared love of and interest in Saints, not egotistical willy-waving. Anyway... delightful as this distraction is, how about we actually discuss the potential signing, rather than argue about who copy-pasted the news from Twitter first and where the appropriate place to copy-paste it to was???

Good job you're not too bothered by it, really. Sounds like a utility player to bolster the squad for European competition.

Ashby Saint Posted 6 July, 2015 Share Posted 6 July, 2015 Quick get him signed before Levy gets wind of it .... I'm a bit worried that our black-box is going orange lately.

S-Clarke Posted 6 July, 2015 Share Posted 6 July, 2015 The black box was seemingly dominated by Italian based players previously. Not sure what the problem is. Surly it's an advantage that the coaches/manager know the said player? And also the input of new signings needs to be fundamentally rubber stamped by the management, not just plucked out of a black box for them to work with.

I know literally nothing of him but according to that Dutch journalist, he's one of Twente's better players. Hmm, most fans of FC Twente dislike him. He's quick and he can defend but he made some big mistakes last season and he has some difficulty to pass a ball to a teammate. On the other hand: Erwin Koeman knows Martina from the time he was coach at RKC Waalwijk so he must know his potential. Besides that, in the PL you don't have to be a technical skilled player to be a defender right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also the input of new signings needs to be fundamentally rubber stamped by the management, not just plucked out of a black box for them to work with. Probably a load of players to choose from and then koeman can give recommendations based on his knowledge. Seems like a good idea to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint031 Posted 6 July, 2015 Share Posted 6 July, 2015 Moisander, Bjelland, van Beek, Rekik, Kongolo, Botteghin, Kashia, Viergever, Bruma, Isimat, Otigba, van der Werff, Sainsbury, van Aken, Bijker, Peters, Bengtsson, Fischer, Leeuwin. Not to spoil the fun, but the list above are Eredivisie centre backs who are either better or have performed better last season than Martina imo. Twente fans are laughing their ass off and even offer to personally drop him off at the St. Mary's. Their fans state (http://www.voetbalzone.nl/doc.asp?uid=249823) that he is mediocre, even for Twente standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is SA to a tea. Trolls Twitter looking for an obscure link, races here to post it. Sometimes passing stuff off as his own e.g. This mornings tweet about the "North London Yobbos". Sad really. Anyway, don't really know much about the player. I've had the obligatory FM stalk and he looks ok. Can't imagine he's anything more than a squad player adding depth rather than a TA/NC replacement.

All I know is that there's a link between Bertrand's surgery and his arrival. Whether its specifically to beef the LB position or provide general defensive cover is anyone's guess.
