Saint Jordy!

I heard a rumour tonight that Saints have agreed a deal for Clasie. But I was told it was around £9M? That seems too low.

Decent source. Sounds like Lazio have given up on this one expecting him to complete imminently

 

Sounding very positive.

Simon Peach says Saints hope to have it done by end of the week. They have 22 mins.

In all seriousness I think this could be agreed tomorrow/announced tuesday.

 

Feyenoord fans seem perplexed that his fee will be less than Wijnaldum and consensus on the forum im ogling at is gutted to lose him and more so for the reported fee

 

The transfer market is indeed barking mad if we get Jordy for only £9m? That's a steal, I mean £49m for the over hyped Sterling......baffling ?

 

Jordy Clasie.... Come on down!!!

 

De Telegraaf have reported a deal is expected today or tomorrow.

So the article claims Krychowiak was our first choice.
No speculation on price here, but £9m is a right result if true

 

£9m is a steal. Plenty of money in the kitty now to bring a few more in.

 

This would be a ruddy good buy for the Saints.....am so surprised A... by the price and B....... that non of the so called bigger clubs have not gone in for him. (Or could that still happen) Nah......they wouldn't do that to us would they......they wouldn't would they?......ummm heard that spurs were interested? Anyone know if there is any truth in this?

 

Beddy you're normally the voice of reason,that Tottenham line is poor form !

 

Sorry mate been looking for confirmation.......heard it on Saturday....Mind you no confirmation so far!!

 

We will be linked forever with Spurs in rumours...I like the idea we won't deal with them. Probably untrue, but nice all the same. I console myself that at least Morgan didn't end up there...that would be intolerable.

 

Is it really £9m? Very cheap.

 

Perhaps we should buy three.

 

I just hope we don't expect too much of Jordy too soon. He isn't an exact replacement for Morgan and he probably won't have anything like the same tackling and interception stats at first. He will do well for us but it will take time to adapt to the Premier League. Anyway, Les, for crying out loud get the deal done!

 

It will be all about gelling with the team...our defence in recent years has been nearly clairvoyant. It improved last season with Ron, so I am putting my trust in him and his team.

 

Dutch media reporting that other clubs interested but too late. Clasie should be ours tomorrow.

 

I simply can't tolerate the thought of losing out to spurs. I've already got over Clyne to Liverpool (you're not that good Nate) but the image of Alderwhatsit (why bother getting his name right now) in that horrible white shirt fills me with bile.
