' Idrris Saadi Update interesting '

Sun Sep 13, 2015 8:43 am

Was down the vale yesterday morning and those who post regular will know a post like this is rare for me.

I was talking to " a trusted source" from the club , couldn't resist that one!! Reckons were looking at 9 weeks until Saadi is back on the grass, disappointing if this is the case. Also went on to say it was a Tan signing and Slade didn't want him, what truth is in that I don't know as I often take them things with a pinch of salt. I do however have no reason to disbelieve him with regards Saadi being out for this amount of time, will keep an eye on this. :thumbup:

I'm not so sure about this "Tan signing" idea.

Do we really think Tan has an in depth knowledge of strikers in the French second division?

Or perhaps his mates Sir Alex or Mourinho have recommended him to Vincent.

Or more likely his son told him to sign him after playing on his Playstation.

I really don't believe all the Tan's signings he wouldn't just pick a random player from the 2nd division in France, I believe what slade has said that they have had him scouted for a while and it's a slade signing.

100% some of our players have been Tan signings.

I don't know if Saadi is or not but Tan certainly has signed players for Mackay and Solksjaer.

Lol most managers have problems with Chairmen not wanting to sign players ;)

Yes Darren, I think Slade is a pretty honest guy and (at worst) he would simply keep his opinions to himself rather than 'doing a Malky' and accepting responsibility for all the good signings whilst blaming the owner for the bad ones! ;) :lol: :lol:

So how does Tan know about these players?

I just can't see him sitting at home every evening having French Ligue 2 games streamed direct to his yacht. Tan has proven time and again that his football knowledge could fit on the back of a postage stamp with room left over so where is he coming up with these players?

Somebody MUST be advising him.

Dalman, Choo, his son, the painter and decorator, his dog?

Who is giving Tan these names because there is absolutely no way he's coming up with them himself?

Be quite suprised if this was a Tan signing.

Another one of Slade's wonder signings

Re: Idrris Saadi Update interesting

Thought all signings are now vetted by a panel of
Choo/dal man/tan and slade
Hmmmmmmmmmmm

I would think by now that Tan has learnt from this policy of signing players himself I can't see Saadi being it. :thumbright: :sladein: :ayatollah:

I agree with you :thumbup:

So he'll be like a new signing in January

Re: Idrris Saadi Update interesting

Sun Sep 13, 2015 1:36 pm

Aren't we supposed to wait for them to be rubbish before they become a Tan signing? That was the deal with Malky's Tan signings.

Re: Idrris Saadi Update interesting

Sun Sep 13, 2015 1:47 pm

i think if he turns out to be a good player some on will say he's a trollope signing

Re: Idrris Saadi Update interesting

So tan randomly buys a french 2nd div player who just so happens is not ready for 1st team? What about the other 9 or so signings since slades appt Who signed them? No mention of tan there! :o guess the committee story posted on here is just a fantasy of the fans!! :laughing6:

Was wondering when the tans signings were going to be said again we are doing good at the moment so need a bit of negativity that can't be proved either way just to stir things up ,so if this player in future becomes a gem will he be tans player then ? We are doing well in the last 22 games is tan still picking the team now or doesn't it suit certain people's agendas

Moore was dropped for not scoring.

Also Tan wouldn't sell Marshall to West Brom because he thinks he's our top scorer.

Hmmmmm

Not good to sign a player this badly injured.

I thought Slade was the new Shanks - I see the error of my ways... Tan is the new Shanks.

Tan signing and slade didnt want him?

Slade has been quoted saying he had saadi scouted for a long time and had reports on him and watched videos on him.

Slade said he was looking for a typical number 9 and saadi was just that. Said he has a physical presence had pace and could also finish.

Really sounds like he didnt want him after hearing that to be fair lol

Re: ' Idrris Saadi Update interesting '

Sun Sep 13, 2015 7:38 pm

Didn't we sign Campbell after he had cruciate injury? :o

Hahaha classic. Only time will tell you know no credit is heading to Tan, damned if he does, damned if he don't
