VectisSaint Posted 21 August, 2017 Share Posted 21 August, 2017 Why do people keep saying this? You realise that we can just leave Gardos or Gazza off the list right? Players are not listed in the order in which they arrived at the club. Technically of course I think you can just leave players off the list. But no club in their right minds actually do so, unless, say, a player is long-term (more than 4-5 months) injured. It would basically be tantamount to preventing a player from doing his job. At least these days they could play for the u23s (either as u23s or overage) and in the Checkatrade trophy, can you imagine telling one of our senior players that they will not be allowed to play for the first team for the next 4 months, or even one of our younger (but over 21) players who has played in the first team that they have no chance of playing in the first team until at least 2018. That's why they do it. Anyway, seems like the Club are doing what they need in releasing Clasie, and Gazza has always been lined up for a move (given he wasn't given a squad number), Gallagher looks like he is on the way as well (please not to Brum) and that allows us to bring in another body (Hoedt) or two.

Dangermouth Posted 21 August, 2017 Share Posted 21 August, 2017 He looked like the only player who could make anything happen in his few minutes on the pitch v Swansea. He can go past players with the ball at his feet. We don't have many that can do that. My recollection of the Augsberg and St Etienne games was that he was quite easily controlled/corralled. I have started to question quite how effective he can be but will wait and see until he's had a run of games. If he doesn't get that then there probably is something about him that means he is not necessarily suited to the league, like Clasie isn't.

Still the writer at insidefutbol still couldn't resist the journalistic virus of plugging the Van Dijk story again. Saying it 'remains to be seen' if Southampton will change their position on the refusal to sell isn't very different to saying it remains to be seen whether Donald Trump has actually been hiding a liberal personality behind all his bluster. 'Remains to be seen' is an extremely dishonest phrase in reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimatt Posted 22 August, 2017 Share Posted 22 August, 2017 Not very saints-like this signing. Normally we only hear about it the night before.

Maybe we want to see if this signing will influence VVD. If he stays and plays, maybe Yoshida doesn't get a new contract, but if the strike continues, he does.

Dr. Kucho Posted 22 August, 2017 Share Posted 22 August, 2017 A colleague of mine, who has played at a decent level in the Dutch amateur football league and knows his stuff about football, reckons Hoedt has the potential to be a better player then Van Dijk.

charliemiller Posted 22 August, 2017 Share Posted 22 August, 2017 this signing is a game changer in my view , i would put it on a par with signing VVD from celtic and Mane .......Hoedt is very close to VVD level in all departments and has the potential to be better than him , i have had sight of a scouting report prepared for another club when they were looking at him a year or so ago and it is stunning technically , pace , anticipation aerial power (he is 1.84 M) and from on standing jump is well above average clearance . very very good signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
