Article in todays Algemeen Dagblad which seems to have good Feyenoord links - http://www.ad.nl/ad/nl/5619/Feyenoord/article/detail/4099830/2015/07/13/Fans-luiden-Clasie-al-uit.dhtml "The supporters of Feyenoord sang him yesterday in Austria once again increased loudly. Jordy Clasie is about to move to Southampton and then came the 'Jordy thanks' from the stands. The captain leaves at Feyenoord and will provide the Rotterdam reportedly about twelve million. Clasie in the Netherlands on a different level. I assume that he will leave the club obviously has not left him for nothing out of the selection against Fortuna Dusseldorf. Jordy Clasie trudged in the sweltering Kufstein towards the dressing room and supporters shouted once he or she wanted to go with the picture. For the supporters of the Rotterdam was there yesterday in Austria, no doubt, the crowd favorite attracts a very short time the door behind him in the cockpit. Then yesterday leaked Feyenoord player kept on the side for the friendly against Fortuna Düsseldorf no unreasonable risks to run, it suddenly was a madhouse around the player. Interested clubs who initially wanted to just watch from the sidelines, appeared on the scene to inquire about the player. Only they all come too late, look for Clasie would prefer to work again under the wing of Ronald Koeman. Hunt Martin van Geel is hopeful to get around twelve million euros for the player, where suddenly from all sides hunted on . Clasie knows he this week at a stroke his young family can provide a carefree financial future, and furthermore he moves then to the world so incensed Premier League. On the advice of coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst Feyenoord showed itself yesterday via Twitter early to know why in Clasie Seefeld a morning workout based finished with seven other players who would not take action against Fortuna Dusseldorf. ,, Yes, there is concrete interest. I did not want to have to turn around it, '' Van Bronckhorst said later in Kufstein. ,, Jordy came to me and he said he would rather not play. He is not gone yet, but chances are very high that leaves Jordy. " Southampton believes in the opinion of coach Ronald Koeman including Clasie became the best player of Feyenoord. The club would be willing to make an amount around twelve million to Rotterdam. Teammate Karim El Ahmadi thinks he is double that money well spent. ,, Clasie is another level of Netherlands, '' said El Ahmadi.

Seems a bit low, roughly about 27.5k a week, would of thought he'd come in on at least 35-40k which is what Tadic was rumoured to be on.

Interesting but I'd swap JWP for Tadic.

yeah he has already lived in one 3rd world country why swap it for another. I think our dutch connection will help significantly with a lot of these players now. When will Danny Blind come and watch us ?

He got found out about being a planet, renowned intergalactic liar.

Clasie is quality but like all oversea's players it will take him a few games to get up to speed with the league so give him 5 games as the speed will be dramatic but he is a warrior so will make sure he wins

Good stat

Nice Article for those that didn't see it earlier - http://www.whoscored.com/Articles/ok...or-Southampton

Amusing commentary from the feyenoord forum - http://feyenoord.netwerk.to/forums/HTML/forum9/2794-258.php "what I see coming here the last few weeks about Jordy over, we are the exception because he is parked here often as a leprechaun no **** of can. Which of course is nonsense, but that is what happens when you stay long. A friend is the first year a horny girl who knows the ropes and after five years a whiner who can not cook."

This is awesome, love Clasie and after yesterday's midfield performance only Vic could be said to have a good game and clasie's drive to win is just what we need, he is a gun. This photo makes me laugh

hahahahhahahahahaahahahaha no chance those ****ers have spent their budget this summer

seconded

Its ironic that both goalkeepers have played well in these games. Getting overrun in midfield and sloppy passing, no retention of possession.
