Coldridge Posted 13 July, 2015 Share Posted 13 July, 2015 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. The original source of the article was http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/voetbal/feyenoord/24261689/__Clasie_op_weg_naar_Koeman__.html which simply observed that his soon to be born child will have the option of claiming a British passport on account of being born in England. How that mutated into 'he wants his newborn to have an English passport' was either careless reading or a flexing of journalist cut and twist muscles by the sportwitness writer.

mcbendy Posted 13 July, 2015 Share Posted 13 July, 2015 Really excited by this (potential) signing. I think we'll see a lot more forward passes and we'll be better able to capitalise on the pace of Mane and JRod. There were times last season when we were crying out for someone to drive forward with purpose and break through some lines, or to play a killer pass. Excited!

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 14 July, 2015 Share Posted 14 July, 2015 Seen some more videos of him and he seems a tidy player. Like the way he brings the team forward up the pitch but do have some concerns about what he'll be like when we don't have the ball. Still feel like we need an understudy to Wanyama, and maybe even another 'destroyer' partner for him for some games. Wanyama himself likes a card as well, and with a new central defensive partner for Fonte required I do think we need another physical presence for the centre of the park, even if he isn't an automatic starter.

Saint Pete Posted 14 July, 2015 Share Posted 14 July, 2015 Clasie sounds like a good signing, but still a little concerned by a lack of height/physical strength across the midfielders in our squad. When Wanyama is out/rested, there could be a problem. Clasie, Reed, JWP, Davis - all of a similar build. Could make us more vulnerable to the Stokes and West Hams of the Prem, who will target us at set pieces and try to bully us in midfield. Are we likely to sign another taller midfielder as well as Clasie (and a centre back to replace Toby)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch friend told me last night a deal has been done, saints will pay upto 15m for him ( probs 10m with another 5m in instalments ) reports in Holland that he's flown out quickly as his wife is expecting, he always wanted to join up with koeman again. Just from what he's heard btw nothing official. His little report of him... He's one of the best players to fight for his team, very passionate, won't score many goals but makes that up with his tackling, a great player but a bit on the short side.

Giordano Posted 14 July, 2015 Share Posted 14 July, 2015 Yes - think we missed out on our destroyer target when Imbula went to Porto. Its Virgil Van Dyk I hope. If our MF looks a bit lightweight this recruit would balance that out ~ 6ft 4" and can run with the ball, find a pass, scores free kicks, wins headers and once he's got going has a bit of the Yaya Toure about him shrugging players off on surging runs forward ( yeah i seen the highlights videos i don't know him personally or ever seen him live) Can play English style footy as been at Celtic two seasons so he wont cry off when he gets kicked a bit. Big Vic will know him,. Fraser might know him too. We seem to do well withy Celtic players. It all looks nice. He can cover for Big Vic when hes suspended also i reckon hes that versatile. Signing him as a CB (who can play RB btw) to replace Toby would be perfect for me. Ball playing ball winning young dutch big strong wont be more than £10m whats not to like?
