Reported on Twitter as a done deal:

BREAKING: Southampton have completed the signing of Feyenoord striker Graziano Pelle on a 4-year deal. #saintsfc

 

Yeah...right.

 

128 followers, seems legit

 

Hahahaha, not quite. Probably jumping the gun considerably so as to look knowledgeable.

 

so as to look knowledgeable

Worth a tweet, I'd say, if only to break up a rather dull Friday morning and a bit more build up to the presser at 3.

 

AD is one of the more reliable newspapers when it comes to sports.

 

Bullocks, nothing in the media here about a completed transfer. Will expect it soon though.

 

Yep, it's a load of old Sandra.

 

Not sure I believe the 4 year deal bit. Seems a long deal for someone who is 29 next week.

 

So if he does sign we will have bought the 2nd and 4th top scorers in the Eredivisie last season. Sounds like good business to me even if the Eredivisie is dismissed by others as not really that good. We need to score more goals in games.

Also Pelle got as many assists as De Ridder so he must be awesome

 

Unlikely, I think in the circumstances, although I've heard worse descriptions for journalists...

 

I am one, but I don't do yellow journalism though, hope I got some credit

 

I may be wrong but as the minutes drag by until 5pm Friday night, I think many Saints fans will settle for a bit of 'yellow' if it distracts from the tedium?

 

Yes, Heifer listen to Joe making quips on the hoof again....

 

Such language... It's like mooosic to the ears.

 

Can we please not do puns again?

 

If this turns into a pun thread, I'll turn it into a Joe-gets-really-whiny-about-Pelle thread.

You've been warned.

 

cownt me out.

 

I'll have to ruminate on that.

 

I'll let you off because that was really clever.
