Saint Fan CaM Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 Either way people know we need players Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk This. With Pelle in particular we will pay more as Koeman wants him and they know we've got the money burning a hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No 2 to Maybush Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 I can understand the club playing hardball on the fee negotiations, but someone there must realise that they are losing valuable PR by not being in a position to announce new signings in the wake of the 2 departures over the last week. Six weeks and counting to our visit to Anfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bwanamakubwa Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 I'm not talking about a press conference more that signing players of ability and then training with them might help convince them to hang around a little longer.

Saint Charlie Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 aPealling if no injuries. Will need to sign someone else who will also get the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six weeks and counting to our visit to Anfield. if you look at it objectively, why would the club care about p.r. at the moment? We've bought our season tickets, and no one is buyng tickets for single matches for weeks yet. So they don't *need* good p.r. for a while yet. As long as they can announce some good news before the pre season games, they don't need to wory about p.r. They do need to sign players early enough for Koeman to have a good pre season training period, but that could wait a week or two yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ART Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 This deal for Pelle reminds me too much of the delays and carry ons over Osvaldo and look where that'se ended up. If Koeman can't get this tied up by now, we need to tell him where to go. The last thing we need is another prima donna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Koeman can't get this tied up by now, we need to tell him where to go. The last thing we need is another prima donna. The delays are not due to personal terms but haggling over the transfer fee. Pelle missed Feyenoord's annual gala last night, which has been seen by their fans as an attempt to hasten the move. I think it is Pelle's competitive nature that has landed him in trouble rather than the arrogant streak displayed by Osvaldo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon Saint Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 (edited) Perhaps Pelle needs to go on strike to get the move hurried up eh:rolleyes: Ha, I would hope not. Genuinely hope we work out a deal that is fair for both sides and he leaves with little acrimony. It looks like a bit of formality given Koeman's and Pelle's tight relationship, so happy to wait on this one. It is the Tadic deal that I am more concerned about getting wrapped up quickly. Got a feeling someone like Spurs are going to play the stalking horse and jump in once a fee has been agreed. I do wonder whether Poch has disclosed to Spurs who our targets were, as Les Reed stated that they had agreed plans together on recruitment over the summer. Probably just paranoia on my part, but given their pretty appalling record in the transfer window last time around and our relative success, you'd think they'd be eager to find out who we are interested in.

Fair point but given Spurs bloated squad and no doubt hefty wage bill they may need to sell a few first, at least I hope so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am suggesting we are being messed about in the same way we were with Osvaldo. His club and the fees and the fact Osvaldo was Pochettino's former player as Pelle is Koemans.

I thought the delays with Osvaldo was more his reluctance to come to us though? Roma directors were convincing him to accept the offer for ages before he relented.

Agreed, or at least not unless he's available for a good price. He looks so bloody cumbersome, similar to Rhodes who I'd like but 5 years older and with a far more erratic goalscoring record.
