Saint Dušan!

Why Arke Fly (?) on his back.

 

Sponsor. Dutch airline who are part of the Thomson group.

 

Les "Dusan come to Saints and next year we can sell you to a club in the CL and we will both make lots of money"

 

See he is left footed, So def can play on the right cutting inside.

 

Rodrigues - Pelle - Tadic

Certainly you can see the logic in a front three like that. Plus a proper left footer who cuts in and allows Clyne/Chambers to overlap. Always looked a little awkward when either Davis or JWP played right hand side

 

Bit like Puncheon did. With Wanyama in the team that'll help full backs to fly forward, if Koeman plays that way

£8.7m as well and we had a £5m bid rejected for Pelle according to that.

 

£9m for pelle seems a bit steep, hopefully we'll move on

 

£8.7m for Tadic is decent business. Bidding £5m for Pelle and having it rejected is also decent business. The acquisitions phase off to a decently business-y start.

 

I propose to believe this. Pelle deal said to be off or at least still under discussion.

 

£8.7m seems a bit of a bargain, no?

 

On the face of it, yes. Peach says he doesn't know much about him but his Dutch colleagues at the World Cup say he is awesome and a great signing.

 

Players from the Dutch league tend to be pretty reasonably priced: witness Siem de Jong going for 6m. Just have to be careful about buying the strikers...

 

No complaints about 8.7m at all. Wouldn't even mind 5m for Pelle too much but I'm happy to believe deal off.

 

That's it Feyenoord, tell us to **** off.

 

Yep. It's time to draw a line in the sand and tell that Judas Ronald ****man that he can't poach all of your best players. Dig in your heels and show those meddling big English clubs what's up.

 

I assume we'll meet Feyenoord half way with Pelle? most likely strike a deal at around £7 million.

 

Nope. Feyenoord took the offer, put it through a shredder, took the shredded paper and shredded it again, and then took the shredded shreds of shreds and used it as confetti for a Pelle Is Going Nowhere Party. Chastened, we will move on to lesser targets, like Bony.
