Lol, they have the worst set of fans in the Premier League. They think jeering players with broken legs is great "support"

 

Should be twinned with Skatesmouth then

Although not everyone is coping with this graciously:

 

 

 

last post incidentally from Glasgowstokie !

 

That last one reminds me of an Everton fan outside SMS after we beat them last season:

 

"F_cking hate these bunch prawn sandwich Tories"

Pelligrino did say he had never heard of him

Translation:

 

Stoke City or Southampton for Mario Lemina? Difficult to find an answer at the moment. While the Gabonese midfielder is announced on the side of the Saints and that his medical visit is even already scheduled, Radio RMC indicates this Sunday that it is rather in Stoke City that will land the former Marseillais. According to this media, Mario Lemina is expected the Potters this Monday to pass his medical visit and initial a five-year contract. An arrival that will accelerate the departure of Giannelli Imbula, coveted by AS Monaco and OGC Nice.

Worth noting that the radio station quoted is the French version of Talk****e and is also funded by money from Monaco (the principality not the club), location of one of the clubs that would purportedly benefit from Lemina going to Stoke. Would therefore take with a pinch of salt.

The original article that broke the news (ESPN) did say that Stoke were hoping to hijack the move.

 

Imagine we will find out soon enough but hope we get him as looks exactly what we need.

Anyone know how credible Radio Monte Carlo (RMC) is?

 

They'll alright, and to the poster above or below, it's not the french version of talkbollax. Think the original info came from espn though.

Would be the most disappointed I've been since us missing out on DaMarcus Beasley all those years ago :)

how would them making stuff up help that cause?

 

Exactly. What are Stoke going to do? Sell Imbula on the basis of a radio story, even though they are infinitely more informed about the ins and outs of the transfer? :lol:

There is something in that interview we should be uncomfortable with. If this is true Are we being deceived?

 

Deceived how exactly ? Espn post something that says we're signing Lemina and the manager doesn't seem to be able to, or want to anyway, confirm it. Agents spread boloaks about all of the time to gee up things that are looking sticky for their client. Just because that may or may not have happened in this case nobody is deceiving us .

Searching rmc and Lemina on twitter returns rmc being used as source saying Lemina is coming here. Think africatopsports don't know the difference between Southampton and Stoke.

 

https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=rmc%20lemina&src=typd

 

To be fair, the africatopsports article also cItes RMC as being the source of the Saturday story -as opposed to the Sunday story linking the player to Stoke (none of those tweets you've linked are from today), suggesting they know the difference. Still think we're favourites to sign the player.

Only concern is none of usual press peeps are saying anything: Wilson / Peach / Blackmore / Leitch etc.

 

The press release is not ready yet.

On the Stoke forum even the Stoke fans are saying that Hughes said that in a resigned, defeated way, a man who knows he's been gazumped.

 

MP more like when Adkins said he's never heard of Gaston Ramirez.

I like this interpretation. If Pellegrino was intentionally obfuscating the media, I would be impressed.

He'll be quoting Sun Tzu like Nige next -and playing mind games over injuries. MLG approves.

Ordinary people don't have accounts that have the blue tick but Kevin Lemina follows SFC on Instagram and is followed by Mario Lemina's official account so I expect it is legit.

Murray Groves (football management person) has tweeted that the medical is at 10.30 tomorrow morning. Don't know how reliable the guy is but it's quite specific information to be making up!!
