JxgrSaint Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 So we've got 3 young players with international experience for a grand total of some £15.5-odd million, or 1.3 $hlongs. Brava, Lesley, Brava!
Saint-Armstrong Posted 15 July, 2015 Author Posted 15 July, 2015 Classy little tribute from Clasie's former club -
davefizzy14 Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Excellent work from the club again. This is a big signing, very exciting. Welcome onboard Jordy
Guan 2.0 Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Wonder if Koeman will be allowed to talk about our targets after the draw on Friday....
SuperSAINT Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Literally been waiting a year for this signing! - So happy we got this one over the line, and for a bargain price too.
richardc Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Looks an excellent signing and ready to go straight into the U14's
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 £7m seems like a great price. Now let's get the defence strengthened.
Saint-camo Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Clasie and Pelle reunited, expecting big things!
SNSUN Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Pleased we've finally brought someone in to fill the space left by Simon Gillett.
SuperSAINT Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Wonder if Koeman will be allowed to talk about our targets after the draw on Friday.... Tease! Any more clue's for us, Guan 2.0?
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Is it Class-y or Clay-sie? Asking for a friend. The Mrs is Dutch. She says it's Clar-sy
Tommus010 Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Congrats to all of you guys on signing our (Former) star! Saints got him for a decent price, I'm sure he will shine in your jersey! Goodluck next season, greetz from the Netherlands!
Saint_Ash Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Wonder if Koeman will be allowed to talk about our targets after the draw on Friday.... Not sure what the euro draw would have to do with it? Kbilly alluded to can dyke but that seemed it. Be nice for another quality player or two.
Toadhall Saint Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Nice one - kept us waiting for a year! Great price for an international - well pleased. Left sided CB now please
Toadhall Saint Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Congrats to all of you guys on signing our (Former) star! Saints got him for a decent price, I'm sure he will shine in your jersey! Goodluck next season, greetz from the Netherlands! Cheers & welcome
Badger Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Congrats to all of you guys on signing our (Former) star! Saints got him for a decent price, I'm sure he will shine in your jersey! Goodluck next season, greetz from the Netherlands! Thanks, and best wishes for Feyenoord next season too.
trousers Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Wonder if Koeman will be allowed to talk about our targets after the draw on Friday.... Hmm...cryptic. What significance could the Europa Cup draw have on our ability to reveal targets....? #ponders
Lighthouse Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Good to see he can fill the naff tats void left by Danny Fox.
Crouchie Crouchie Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Love this quote “I hope that I have many good moments and good years here.”
farawaysaint Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Happy with out business so far. Welcome Jordy!!
Guan 2.0 Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Tease! Any more clue's for us, Guan 2.0? Beyond The positions? I can't, even if KBSS has started shouting! Still annoyed the club beat the announcement by two hours! Oh, and the club were so forceful because they are hopeful that Clasie will not only be a marquee signing, but also a gateway to other continental players (but that's not exactly classified info) Lots of euphoric feeling around coaches and management tonight, which is why i wouldn't rule out the club being more open about our strategy on Fri.
Badger Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Good to see he can fill the naff tats void left by Danny Fox. Perhaps Toby was just a stand in for that position after all then.
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Pleased we've finally brought someone in to fill the space left by Simon Gillett. Watched Ben Reeves tonight. He played most of the second half for MK Dons. Great player who was at the centre of everything. Reminded me of JWP with his deliveries. Cody Cropper was saying that he thinks he's as equally gifted as Lallana and JWP. Be interesting to see if he ever makes the step back up to a Prem team.

Saint Charlie Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Not sure on the veracity of the source, but interesting: @joethomlinson: There are issues with #Clasie's hamstrings and hip region, but they were only minor & due to a poor training regime at Feyenoord. #SaintsFC @joethomlinson: #Clasie is fit, but slightly overcooked due to playing far too many minutes last season at Feyenoord. Just needs time to recover. #SaintsFC @joethomlinson: #SaintsFC view #Clasie as a future star of Dutch football & expect him to improve with the English football's pace. Very exciting signing.
whelk Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Hard to price players these days. Would appear total bargain.
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Congrats to all of you guys on signing our (Former) star! Saints got him for a decent price, I'm sure he will shine in your jersey! Goodluck next season, greetz from the Netherlands! Hey Tommus thanks for registering and posting that. Shows some class! You're welcome here - come and join us for the journey.
sad saints fan Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Congrats to all of you guys on signing our (Former) star! Saints got him for a decent price, I'm sure he will shine in your jersey! Goodluck next season, greetz from the Netherlands! Cheers mate! Stay with us for a season or two and enjoy the ride. We want to be every Dutch football fans second team.
buctootim Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Looks an excellent signing and ready to go straight into the U14's
shurlock Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 The Mrs is Dutch. She says it's Clar-sy ITK. First time for everything.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 15 July, 2015 Author Posted 15 July, 2015 Pretty much everyone, here and beyond, seems amazed we've got him so cheap...

Goodluck next season, greetz from the Netherlands! Welcome to the forum Tommus and thanks for the kind words. Good luck to Feyenoord too!
Appy Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Welcome on board, it's great to have a manager with this reputation.
SuperSAINT Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Pretty much everyone, here and beyond, seems amazed we've got him so cheap... I would have expected us to pay around £12m
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 (edited) ITK. First time for everything. WTF is that supposed to mean? I've never made bold claims about being ITK. I've simply passed on snippets of info where possible. It's your choice if you choose to believe them of not. Tonight I was at a friendly in Ireland between Cabinteely and MK Dons. I spoke to Ben Reeves and Cody Cropper. Cody talked openly about players who've moved on. I asked about Jack Cork and he said that Saints offered to double his wages and were very keen to keep him. He actually went to Swansea for lower wages than Saints had offered because they guaranteed first team football. I realise this isn't breaking news but all I'm doing is passing on things that may be of interest. I'm sure you'd do the same? Edited 15 July, 2015 by Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd
Saint_Ash Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Welcome on board, it's great to have a manager with this reputation. I was thinking that. Koeman is massively important to us.
shurlock Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Pretty much everyone, here and beyond, seems amazed we've got him so cheap... Why is everyone so sure it's £7m?
trousers Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Pretty much everyone, here and beyond, seems amazed we've got him so cheap... The cynic and/or pessimist in me is wondering what the catch is....does seem slightly too good to be true. Good job I'm mainly an optimist though
Chez Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Watched Ben Reeves tonight. He played most of the second half for MK Dons. Great player who was at the centre of everything. Reminded me of JWP with his deliveries. Cody Cropper was saying that he thinks he's as equally gifted as Lallana and JWP. Be interesting to see if he ever makes the step back up to a Prem team. Have to say that when saw him play for the first team I thought he looked a great prospect withScholes like tendencies and couldn't understand us letting him go, but then again I only saw a few cameos so found it hard to argue with those that saw him on regular basis. We certainly had a lot of CM at the time.
Chez Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 The Adidas Tango! Great Adidas ball, but how **** does the Adidas logo look plonked in the middle of the shirt...
Sour Mash Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Beyond The positions? I can't, even if KBSS has started shouting! Still annoyed the club beat the announcement by two hours!

Clasie is a good, impressive signing, but will it make so much difference in attracting other players? And why does Koeman need to talk about strategy or targets? All a bit cryptic.
Lighthouse Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Great Adidas ball, but how **** does the Adidas logo look plonked in the middle of the shirt... Can't say it bothers me in the slightest but I guess it's down to personal taste.
Supersubpuckett Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Great Adidas ball, but how **** does the Adidas logo look plonked in the middle of the shirt... every time i see our new kit i think stoke
Saint-Armstrong Posted 15 July, 2015 Author Posted 15 July, 2015 Full interview going up in a bit, apparently.
S-Clarke Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 every time i see our new kit i think stoke Every time I see Stoke's new kit I think Saints.
