OldNick Posted 10 January, 2009 Share Posted 10 January, 2009 He was greatin the interview on Radio Hants. Will Cope made me chuckle as he rolls out his odd English sayings and expects the Dutchman to understand them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Reigned Posted 10 January, 2009 Share Posted 10 January, 2009 Well given that as a nation we never learn anyone else's language and expect them to all speak English, Cope no doubt expected Size to be fluent in both English and all our little phrases as he's been in the UK for at least 3 days....

S4INT Posted 10 January, 2009 Share Posted 10 January, 2009 heard him on both hampshire and solent afterwards -seems a real character That's as may be... but what did he say!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 10 January, 2009 Share Posted 10 January, 2009 said he was sat in the hotel room with a saints programme learning the players names as he didn't want to play not knowing them! Said he got the starting 11 ok but struggling on the subs! Said he is here until end of the season with contract signed for another year if we stay up and another year if he plays 25 games -then added so I am here for another 2 years as we are staying up and I will play more games! Was joking about the amount of headers he had to do and that he was playing against a forward bigger than him. Also said the home record is bad and will fight to turn that around.

manji Posted 10 January, 2009 Share Posted 10 January, 2009 I thought it was a brilliant interview.They also asked about the cold and said its colder in Holland he came over here because its was warmer at the moment ! Set to become a fans favourite I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulwantsapint Posted 10 January, 2009 Share Posted 10 January, 2009 He seemed supprised that we had a good away following ( thought we only took about 400/500 fans ) & seemed shocked that we get 17k at SMS just imagain what he will think if we start winning & S sarts to fill up Also said that Saints are a bigger club than Roda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brmbrm Posted 10 January, 2009 Share Posted 10 January, 2009 Built the way we need a CB. Experience like we need a leader at the back. Character, sense of humour, self-deprecating. One day in is a bit early, but he could be a real star in many ways. Super-Size me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set to become a fans favourite I reckon. Its not often that I agree with you Manji but Size does sound like smashing bloke judging by those interviews. Lets hope he turns out to be a rock in our defence, the early signs are encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 10 January, 2009 Share Posted 10 January, 2009 Good interview.Probably speaks English a lot better and clearer than the scouser we've just signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam Posted 11 January, 2009 Share Posted 11 January, 2009 Interesting that in the BBC interview he twice mentions how Wotte spoke to him about bringing him over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted 11 January, 2009 Share Posted 11 January, 2009 Heard the interview and immediately thought how good he sounded - like he had SFC written through the middle of him already - and THAT's what you want of a defender particularly. Killer and Claus had that quality in spades - lets hope he is as successful for us. Super super super Size, Super Size...na... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
