BridgnorthSaint Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 At the end of the article below (hopefully link works) there is mention of Saints being willing to listen to offers for Pelle. Does anyone know if this is true? http://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/2571229/manchester-united-made-sadio-mane-approach-last-week
Batman Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 hope so. Get rid and get Austin in. THAT would be good

Does anyone know if this is true? http://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/2571229/manchester-united-made-sadio-mane-approach-last-week Originally came from Sam Wallace at the Independent http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/sadio-mane-to-manchester-united-southampton-to-reject-attempts-by-united-for-striker-10462584.html Can't imagine it's remotely true.
Whitey Grandad Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 hope so. Get rid and get Austin in. THAT would be good I'd rather we got in before getting rid, personally.
em00jie Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 Sounds like someone is trying to cause a bit of disharmony with our team...Fonte bid...Pelle for sale...Mane bid over a week since ManU made contact Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pancake Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 Is it me but I can't see anything in that story that relates to Pelle? Yep, nothing at all if you search for Pelle. OP on a wind up or had a few too many shandies
saint-ross Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 Pelle is referenced at the end of the video. HTH
Diabolus Ex Machina Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 (edited) No need to jump on original poster he just provided the wrong link in regards to Pelle. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/sadio-mane-to-manchester-united-southampton-to-reject-attempts-by-united-for-striker-10462584.html Would seem odd to be willing to let him go unless we knew of a ready made replacement. Don't really have another striker like him that holds up the ball and was one of the guys Ronald wanted to bring in. Can't see much in it to be honest. Edit: See SuperSAINT already posted the link. Can't hurt to have it twice though. Edited 19 August, 2015 by Diabolus Ex Machina note

Mr Biscuits Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 Media campaign against Southampton again is it?
DuncanRG Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 Sam Wallace (byline on the Independent piece) is a good reporter.
Saint Charlie Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 Pelle is a good player IMO and I can't believe the stick he gets from certain fans. He consistently scores goals yet people seem keen to get rid or replace him players who aren't proven to be better. Bizarre.

Pelle is pretty good, but Austin is better, younger, English
SuperSAINT Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 Sam Wallace (byline on the Independent piece) is a good reporter. He is indeed. Soon moving to the Telegraph I believe.
Sour Mash Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 I think Austin is proven to be better. Pelle is pretty good, but Austin is better, younger, English Is Pellè 'pretty good' or 'gash'? Make your mind up, think more, post less.
angelman Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 I think Austin is proven to be better. Pelle is pretty good, but Austin is better, younger, English and injury prone?? Well that might be a bit OTT but doesn't he have dodgy knees? Anyway, have a feeling that Pelle is going to have a storming season.
Batman Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 and injury prone?? Well that might be a bit OTT but doesn't he have dodgy knees? Anyway, have a feeling that Pelle is going to have a storming season. good point. Either way, cant see pelle leaving and hope he does better this season. important player for the side
Saint Charlie Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 He misses too many decent chances for me. Which ones?
trousers Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 Media campaign against Southampton again is it? "Dark forces"....
Turkish Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 Some Fans were on his back from day one. Was slagged off on here and TUI before he'd played a competitive game, ironically cheered on his home debut. I'm not sure what people expect for a £8m striker, a goal ratio of 1 every 2.47 games is reasonable return, all the players who scored more than him last season cost or are valued at twice or more what he cost us. When he's confident and firing he's quality, but with the way some of our dinlow fans carry on its no wonder he struggles for it at times.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 Bloody hell. On holiday and WTF? Man Utd after Mane, still no new CB on board, Pelle possibly surplus to requirements and Gaston actually fit. With Pelle so central to our forward play, why would we move him on?
Super_Saint Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 Supposing this is true, how much could we realistically get for him?
shurlock Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 (edited) Why would we sell the wop lee chapman? Edited 19 August, 2015 by shurlock
the saint in winchester Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 There's NO way on God's green earth that RK would part with Pelle. Wherever Koeman manages, Pelle plays. End of...
Brave Sir Robin Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 There's NO way on God's green earth that RK would part with Pelle. Wherever Koeman manages, Pelle plays. End of... Now if I were a typical sports journalist and that was a quote from a "source close to the club", I'd now run a story about how Koeman is rumoured to be leaving Saints and taking Pelle with him. That's how it works. Seriously guys, if it looks like bullcarp, it more than likely is

BlakeySFC Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 As Sarnia would say, 'LOL' Erm except last summer when every journo was utterly derided and actually were more accurate than not... Yeah, J-Rod and Morgan went to Spurs didn't they...
hypochondriac Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 As Sarnia would say, 'LOL' Yeah, J-Rod and Morgan went to Spurs didn't they... You obviously didn't listen to what I said (and just because they didn't go doesn't mean that there wasn't truth in the original story.) fact is that when these stories came out last year about Adam, lovren, chambers, Lambert, Shaw etc leaving people did the usual thing of saying it was made up, lying, biased journo rubbish when actually they were completely correct. It's idiotic to immediately dismiss an article about a player leaving just because you don't want it to be true.
ally_uk Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 Christ they will be after Doris the tea-lady next....
Graffito Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Christ they will be after Doris the tea-lady next.... English, homegrown, in the final year of her contract. Time to get rid. Anyway, I heard she's off her trolley.
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 English, homegrown, in the final year of her contract. Time to get rid. Anyway, I heard she's off her trolley. I understand Doris has been secretly dreaming of a move to Liverpool for years now and will stop at nothing to get her way. Forum members are naturally invited to immediately forget her many years of faithful service and display a utterly unreasonable degree of hatred towards her - treacherous old cow that she is. Should she slip on a wayward cupcake and break her hip, that is to be considered a acceptable cause for celebration.

She will deliver the best tea in the first two weeks and we will rejoice that she is better than Doris

Graffito Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 That would be a huge disappointment. Everybody knows that Europeans can't make proper tea. Liptons. Have you tried it?
Whitey Grandad Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Liptons. Have you tried it? How do you make it, just add water?
Graffito Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 How do you make it, just add water? Only the French know how to make it.
John Boy Saint Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 It's been a very quiet window and Man U are doing ok, Chelsea are too good to be in trouble and it's only been 2 games, no one has been naughty at any club, Eva the touch line totty has run out of steam. Come on guys who can we write about. Saints are a selling club -who's their best players - right get on that as at least one in the bucket of their players thrown at the wall is probably going to stick.
sadoldgit Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 good point. Either way, cant see pelle leaving and hope he does better this season. important player for the side Yet you would rather we sold him and bought Austin??
Batman Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Yet you would rather we sold him and bought Austin?? if that was an option, yes. but that is football manager stuff
sadoldgit Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 we will bring in a cheaper tea lady from europe, who will cost half the price. She will deliver the best tea in the first two weeks and we will rejoice that she is better than Doris And then the tea wont be quite as good and you will call it gash and post that we need a younger, British tea lady. You will also point out that Everton kept hold of their tea lady despite interest from Chelsea and that Swansea have won several trophies but have still managed to keep hold of their tea lady.
saintadam Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Pelle is a good player IMO and I can't believe the stick he gets from certain fans. He consistently scores goals yet people seem keen to get rid or replace him players who aren't proven to be better. Bizarre. Word. And people seem overly confident that Charlie Austin would do better than Pellé.

She will deliver the best tea in the first two weeks and we will rejoice that she is better than Doris She'll probably be alright until October, then the tea will be a lot weaker for a few weeks before she goes missing for a few months and it'll never be the same when she returns after Christmas.
angelman Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 I look at the first goal at SMS against Vitesse and got quite excited for the forthcoming season. If he can do that week in, week out (which there is no reason why he shouldn't) then there will be large number of servings of humble pie. Just a reminder for those who might have forgotten:
scotty Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 She'll probably be alright until October, then the tea will be a lot weaker for a few weeks before she goes missing for a few months and it'll never be the same when she returns after Christmas. She's also injury prone. I bet she'll do her hamstring in the first week, we did well to get rid imho.
