"Chances Koeman after draw with Southampton quickly knocks at Feyenoord for Pelle '

June 4, 2014

According to the Algemeen Dagblad is likely that Ronald Koeman, if indeed he is the head coach will report at Feyenoord. Quickly at Southampton, According to the newspaper Rotterdam Koeman would put the arrival of Graziano Pelle to the Premier League club. His sentences in that case Feyenoord requests according to the AD whopping 10 million euros for the 28-year-old striker.

Pelle will be 29 next month. £10m for a 29 year old with little resale value is the sort of gamble that's already burned them with Osvaldo (and still continues to do so).

For what it's worth, Pelle looks an ideal replacement for Lambert - not very quick or mobile, but great in the air, finishes with power off both sides, very foxy in the boxy.

Loads of goals in Dutch football, but that doesn't always translate well to the PL. Will he be another Bony or an Altidore?

Would prefer Guidetti then Pelle myself. give gametime he could be a perfect lambert replacement. That being we get the little pea too i'd be very happy

I'd say 10m euros which is £8m is great value for a 29 year old striker that has scored 50 league goals in 57 games. Still has 5 years left, he is 6'4 so similar to lambert. He could potentially be an upgrade on Lambert.

Great points qwertyell! I believe that he's more likely to perform like Bony, 26 goal in 33 games with 6 assists this season which is pretty similar to Bony's performance data in the 12/13 season of 37 goals in 36 games with 10 assists.

Overall Bony has been the better player stay wise over the past 3 seasons although Pellé is on top form and has been a consistent top scorer for two seasons now. Both would be great but Bony could be more successful all be it at at least double Pellé's price.

Also not so confident about Guidetti, Gallagher is better than him and has a better record at 18. Personally I don't rate Guidetti.
