    Just like with Tadic, I have never seen him play before.

    So just like with Tadic, I am going in with a totally open mind and wish him all the best. Hopefully they both turn out to be great additions.

    I'm really positive about this signing. I know he's unproven in the Prem, but he's got some pace, holds the ball up well, scores goals with both feet in and out of the box and is excellent in the air. With Ronald knowing him well I'm sure he'll do well for us. I believe he'll get 15-20 goals next season.

    Not a massively exciting signing, but we'll sign another striker and I'll be supporting Pelle from the off anyway. Koeman sees something, and we'll soon find out what that is.

    You two are fun to be around. He scored 55 goals in 66 games under Koeman at Feyenoord. He's not up to scratch at all is he..<doh>

    Lets not go over old ground. Some have reservations because he hasn't done it anywhere but Feyenoord. Which is true.

    If you want to put a #positiveKruegerspin on it, he's always been prolific for Koeman and Ronald has signed him for a 2nd time.

    For he's a jolly good Pelle,
    For he's a jolly good Pelle,
    For he's a jolly good Pelle
    And so say all of us.

    I apologise. Too much sun.

    I have just seen a picture of his missus on facebook, from what I seen the lad has done well.

    Gotta get behind him now. Welcome, Saint Graziano.

    At the very least he's pretty.

    Please tell me where I said that? I've said I'll be supporting him no doubt and hope he is a success. I'm just saying he doesn't excite me as much as other signings in the past have.

    Tadic more handsome than Twatbeard.
    Pelle more handsome than Lambert.

    We'll get nothing from the refs.:)
