Daweii Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I think the guy could cope with the speed and physicality of the Premier League.. Yes he gets so much time on the ball at Feyenoord but he does look like he only takes that much longer because he can, a guy with his ability can do the same thing faster if he needs to.

Chindie Posted June 26, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2012 Re the Incognitoavfc twitter above, 'exert effort you shall be rewarded' is a Moroccan proverb, so Google tells me. Confirms he is talking about El-Ahmadi. So the guy reads villatalk as well then? It's someone at the club imo, being told to be an 'official' leak. The Twitter account arose at the exact same time that this account, INCOGNITO registered for here. I would not be surprised if H&V, and Vital too, has a similar user signed up who has decided that Twitter does the job more easily. I bet the club has realised theres theres a desire for this kind of rumour monging and that it can also influence the media to maintain a decent positive message in the papers and on the forums, so told someone in the office to get on the forums and twitter. He's not posting enough to be your usual bullshitter/someone who's heard a little snippet time to time, and a number of his tweets have a tone of someone being 'on message'.

Villain-from-Texas Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Although --------Ahmadi--Makoun Nzogbia----Ireland-----Barnetta --------------Bent Looks nice. Barnetta will sign for Schalke as soon as they offload another player (and they'll do so soon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a similar note, I only learned last week that that drill where you stand in a circle and pass it around, with 1 guy in the middle trying to intercept the ball is called a "rondo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted June 26, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2012 Excited by this! Hopefully get it done and dusted ASAP, good to see PL has targets lined up already and work is well under way for reshaping the squad. Absolutely love transfer season, especially knowing we're going to be very active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
