S-Clarke Posted 18 August, 2017 Share Posted 18 August, 2017 http://sportwitness.co.uk/southampton-see-bid-wesley-hoedt-finally-accepted-defender-wave-goodbye-club/ After a few doubts earlier today about the possibility of Wesley Hoedt signing for Southampton, it seems the Dutch centre-back has been given the green light to team up with Virgil Van Dijk at St Mary’s. Seemingly brought in to partner the former Celtic star, the 23-year-old was having to wait for a meeting to take place between Lazio and his agency, but that appears to have gone well. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Southampton’s offer of €17m bonuses included has been accepted by the Serie A side, and the player is said to be ‘about to wave goodbye’ to his current side. The Italian website report Hoedt will sign a four-year deal that includes ‘big numbers’ with the Saints, hinting at a rather impressive pay rise from his Lazio contract. Considering the Serie A outfit got the centre-back on a free from AZ Alkmaar two years ago, a €17m profit ends up being a tidy deal for a club looking to raise €30m before the end of the transfer window.

Millbrook Saint Posted 18 August, 2017 Share Posted 18 August, 2017 That article says 4 year deal, could this be the first side affect of our stance with VVD? ie no player will want to sign for 5 years as it hands us too much power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wayman Posted 18 August, 2017 Share Posted 18 August, 2017 I wondering if Advocaat would like the potential of a Dutch centre back pairing playing together week in week out. It's it a very shrewd move on more than one level. Something Spurs hoped for two years ago when they signed Toby alongside Vertongen. Nothing new there.

It's not worryingly short, is it? It's what Mane and Clyne signed (and probably a host of others), for example. So, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like we see how he goes for a season then offer in improved deal which will keep him here for a further 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millbrook Saint Posted 18 August, 2017 Share Posted 18 August, 2017 4 years is pretty common for an initial contract. It's not worryingly short, is it? It's what Mane and Clyne signed (and probably a host of others), for example. So, no. Understood but didn't Lemina sign for 5 years? I thought that was part of our new way of doing things was so that we don't end up in the position where we have to sell someone like Mane quite as soon. I see the point of giving out a 4 year contract, that getting him to extend it if he proves successful, let's just hope he doesn't look at the VVD situation before deciding.

SuperSAINT Posted 18 August, 2017 Share Posted 18 August, 2017 No problem. If they won't let Hoedt go because De Vrij won't sign, I'll gladly take De Vrij instead. What's your opinion of Hoedt, Dutchie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just means that we won't have to change both CBs the same year, we can move Hoedt on a year earlier than van Dijk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Ash Posted 18 August, 2017 Share Posted 18 August, 2017 Seems he's having a significant payrise to £2m pa, so just under £40k a week. Doesn't seem to be too much for a Dutch international. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 18 August, 2017 Share Posted 18 August, 2017 Sounds about right. Lazio wanted Clasie (they have lost Biglia), so wouldn't be surprised to see him sold or loaned out as part of the Hoedt deal. Thought they replaced Biglia with Lucas? Makes sense though as Jordy's been linked with Lazio every year he's been here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pass the Dutchie Posted 18 August, 2017 Share Posted 18 August, 2017 What's your opinion of Hoedt, Dutchie? To be honest I probably don't know a whole lot more than you do. He played for AZ in the Netherlands and I don't follow that club specifically, so I only saw him in the highlight and defenders usually don't get a lot of attention in those. I've seen him play a few time for the Dutch team, and he seemed solid enough without standing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's interesting is we were 1st linked to both him & Lemina in the same season 2 or 3 years ago. So obviously both been on the radar for a while.

I like how even the edited version is gibberish. Well... I came on here looking for news that we have signed Hoedt but just found Toomer's bizarre comment about 'not so'. Maybe we should have a sweepstake as to its real meaning? I would guess at him implying rather scandalously that Biglia is known to his team mates as 'not so biglia' but I'm probably miles off and the actual meaning is instead something to do with Clasie not speaking in a Geordie dialect!
