alreadyexists Posted September 17, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2020 Some players need to be loved, I have a feeling he is one. If he gets up to speed quickly and us fans show him some love (when we get back to VP) then I think he’ll do well for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure. Lange/Smith must see something there. Suso brought in a few duds, so TD's don't always get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when John Gregory tried to do similar in signing Luc Nilis & Giles de Bilde in the late 90's. Sadly it never materialised cause of a career ending injury for Nilis. They were all at Vitesse together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I'm not one for double announcements but I hope Traore and Rashica get a double announcement. Would really get the press talking about us. I'm bored of people not realising our new ambition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
