I do hope the Spuds reference is just a bit of mischief making !
S-Clarke Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 He's already decided to join us, calm down everyone.
Nolan Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 FFS [emoji38] Wum twitter account. No Murray Groves on linked in unless the bloke is an architect.
Matthew Le God Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Based on 2 current rumours my potential 11 for the 1st game. Steklenberg Cedric Fonte. Van Djik. Bertrand Wanyama. Classie. Juanmi Mane Pelle JRod He is injured for 4 to 5 weeks and won't have had a pre-season.
Convict Colony Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 He is injured for 4 to 5 weeks and won't have had a pre-season. yeah wasn't sure how long so will put targett there

Shouldn't that be for other people to decide? Reputable established football associate. 17 years of experience in intermediary/third party sponsoring.

Saint-Armstrong Posted 13 July, 2015 Author Posted 13 July, 2015 Its hard to take seriously anyone who describes themselves as "reputable". Shouldn't that be for other people to decide? https://twitter.com/MurrayGroves Interesting that while he says he works for 'MGA' - presumably Murray Groves Associates - there's no record of them anywhere on the internet, but there are for near enough all other agencies. The guy's a complete fraud, even his photo doesn't look genuine. No record of him online, either.
Andy Durman Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 1+1=2 Clasie will be a Saint by the end of the week. All the pieces will now fall into place.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 One of the contributory reasons the fee could appear so low is because we are paying a lot of it up front - in part to receiving a lot of the Schneiderlin fee up front too.
Saint Charlie Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 One of the contributory reasons the fee could appear so low is because we are paying a lot of it up front - in part to receiving a lot of the Schneiderlin fee up front too. Plus he only has one year left on his contract.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Plus he only has one year left on his contract. Are you sure? I have read in a lot of places he extended it last summer until 2018.

Plus he only has one year left on his contract. His contract expires on 30th June 2018... http://www.feyenoord.com/news/news-overview/jordy-clasie-extends-contract-until-2018
S-Clarke Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Plus he only has one year left on his contract. He signed a new contract las summer, pretty sure it was a 3 year one.
Saint Charlie Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 He signed a new contract las summer, pretty sure it was a 3 year one. Ah ok, in that case it does seem a very low fee. Feyenoord could get some lessons from Les on negotiating
buctootim Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Ah ok, in that case it does seem a very low fee. Feyenoord could get some lessons from Les on negotiating Its a small league fee. Rightly or wrongly fees for players established in the big leagues will always be higher than 'unproven' and therefore riskier talent from Netherlands, Portugal, Hungary etc - hence why we go fishing there and the big boys dont.
van Hanegem Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Feyenoord could get some lessons from Les on negotiating Indeed! Hopefully Martin van Geel from Feyenoord will negotiate a percentage in case Clasie will be sold for a lot more to Liverpool...
Dig Dig Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Obviously he isn't but he has more than likely spoken to the player. When Brendan Rodgers does it it's called tapping up. Plus he may be more involved with speaking to the player and clubs reps as he clearly will have a strong relationship there.
Saint Charlie Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Clasie seems like a leader too, skipper for Feyenoord at a young age. After having lost players with leadership elements in Morgan and also Toby it is good to bring in someone with that quality.
Saint_Ash Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/fans-say-bye-to-star-as-he-moves-to-southampton-for-8-5m
Andy Durman Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 This deal was agreed before Schneiderlin was allowed to move.

angelman Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Not accord to the Fail who say we offered £10m but that they want £15m. Who to believe?
derry Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 I would think we offered enough to be taken seriously and Clasie stood down from the friendly.
SuperSAINT Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 http://www.benefoot.net/eredivisie-summer-special-podcast-blind-replaces-hiddink-clasies-future-depays-replacement-and-transfers-so-far/ For those who want to hear more about jordie clasie the podcast talks about him from 45min to 53min It's a great listen A good listen, cheers.
S-Clarke Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Not accord to the Fail who say we offered £10m but that they want £15m. Who to believe? Not them in this instance.
Sour Mash Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised if Clasie has already signed for us, they're just giving it a day or so for the Schneiderlin fuss and coverage to pass over before its done as its own fresh stand alone announcement.

I think you're right. Apparently we only let Morgan go once we were 100% sure we had Clasie in the bag, as there was late interest from other clubs. I've seen some tweets from Dutch journalists suggesting he's already here and flew over last night. Tuesday announcement they were speculating.
Saint_Ash Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 It seems the club are respecting Morgan over his move so I agree that Clasie has probably signed and will be announced tomorrow.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 13 July, 2015 Author Posted 13 July, 2015 Dutch media reporting that Clasie has packed his bags and is on his way to England. His girlfriend is heavily pregnant with their second child and he wants it all sorted and family over here for when the child arrives, apparently.

His girlfriend is heavily pregnant with their second child and he wants it all sorted and family over here for when the child arrives, apparently. The article I posted up earlier from Sporting Witness (I have no idea how credible they are) state he wants his new kids to have an English passport. God knows how they'd get that info. Safe to say though that Clasie is on his way which is brilliant news. Just need that first choice CB in and we're sorted.
Webby Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 http://www.benefoot.net/eredivisie-summer-special-podcast-blind-replaces-hiddink-clasies-future-depays-replacement-and-transfers-so-far/ For those who want to hear more about jordie clasie the podcast talks about him from 45min to 53min It's a great listen Good stuff, as is the other piece on Clasie on that site.

God knows how they'd get that info. Safe to say though that Clasie is on his way which is brilliant news. Just need that first choice CB in and we're sorted. Seems a bit unlikely. Its not like hes from some ****hole. There is nothing you can do with a British passport you cant do with a Dutch one.
Webby Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 I'm pretty confident about this one. I reckon Koeman and the club had a verbal agreement with him last summer, when Morgan stayed, that we would come back for him this summer.
Pancake Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Seems a bit unlikely. Its not like hes from some ****hole. There is nothing you can do with a British passport you cant do with a Dutch one. Play for England?
buctootim Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Play for England? You'd want your kid to play for your own country surely? Even then I dont think you have to be born here to play.
Twente Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 The rumours are that you'll get to sign him for 10 million? Great deal... a bargain.... Great player who played some outstanding matches for his club, but also as an international in the worldcup last year, but i'm sure you all know that. There he proved he can maintain himself on a higher level than the Eredivisie.
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Seems a bit unlikely. Its not like hes from some ****hole. There is nothing you can do with a British passport you cant do with a Dutch one. Well there's getting killed by islamic fundamentalists - I'd say you have a better chance of surviving with a Dutch passport!

Great player who played some outstanding matches for his club, but also as an international in the worldcup last year, but i'm sure you all know that. There he proved he can maintain himself on a higher level than the Eredivisie. Sterling or Euro? Presume Sterling.
Window Cleaner Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Sterling or Euro? Presume Sterling. Doubt if any European eurozone club will sign a deal in euros with any UK club just now, might be worth a bit less in a day or so's time. Already any deal in euros signed a year ago is worth about 15% less in £s now I think. Makes eurozone clubs a bit of a bargain basement for the UK.
Sour Mash Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Sterling or Euro? Presume Sterling. He's gone to Man City I think.
mcjwills Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Sterling or Euro? Presume Sterling. Not at £49M [emoji23]
SO16_Saint Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 He's gone to Man City I think. Yep, and he's already devalued
mcjwills Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Seems a bit unlikely. Its not like hes from some ****hole. There is nothing you can do with a British passport you cant do with a Dutch one. At least with a Dutch one you can enjoy yourself in a Coffee Shop ?
Saint-Fred Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Seems a bit unlikely. Its not like hes from some ****hole. There is nothing you can do with a British passport you cant do with a Dutch one. Edging his bets. if his son is any good he can play for Holland. if he is ****e he can be an England international!
SparkySaint Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Fortunately it was only Alex Crook Its a shame Jordan Sibley didn't take that into consideration and simply ignore what was said.
