StanBalaban Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 He looks the face of Feyenoord. £6m - £8m seems a bit steep. According to twatter, that is the fee. I would say that's pure guess work based on the fact that not one of these people mentioned anything about his visit to VP today, but now they're suddenly all over the transfer fee....? Actually, "guess work" is being polite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Could be a good signing if it comes off. Possible leader on the pitch in the absence of Petrov. Could take the reigns in a season or two. Slightly concerned that too much of our squad will consist of players from another league. Is that a good or bad thing do we recon, as I would imagine they will be 'first teamers'? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we are signing these sorts of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but what percentage of that was down to crap players and having McLeish in charge? I do enjoy Dutch football so not that fussed about them coming in, just thinking about the whole chemistry/balance type thang. To many changes and all that jazz... What's people thoughts?

A lot was down to McLeish but some of the players simple aren't good enough or have bad attitudes and in some cases both are true. I see your point but we could and perhaps should have gone down last season so change is needed. As for chemistry/balance we had none last season so I can't see these changes having a negative impact personally. Change is exactly what was needed.

smetrov Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I have my doubts about a dutch CB. I remember Freddie Bouma who used to play CB in Holland - saying he wouldn't be able to play that position in England - because the threat in the air in the prem is significant - where as in the dutch leagues not so much.

Might be more to do with the fact that Bouma is only 5ft 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted July 15, 2012 Moderator Share Posted July 15, 2012 After last season, there cannot be enough change Absolutely agree. I recently posted a Man City squad list, of which only Hart, Richards, Lescott, Barry, Milner and Johnson were in or around their 18 on a regular basis. If you're good enough it doesn't matter where you're from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
