briny_ear Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Welcome Ron, after the longest medical in history. It feels like a new signing! BTW - @Ginko^^^^ I'm pretty sure it's "Flaahr" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Isn't he the first CB we've signed in nigh on 3 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 1, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 1, 2012 Isn't he the first CB we've signed in nigh on 3 years? Yup, Collins & Dunne were the last 2 both signed on 1st Sep '09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I thought so too Briny buy I always thought that was one of the ways to tell Dutch and German apart. Germans pronounce V's as F's, W's as V's etc. but I always thought the Dutch pronounced V's as V's. Does that mean it's pronounced Fan der Faart?

smetrov Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I must admitt I am aprhensive about this signing. Sure he has a fine pedigree - I just wonder how he will cope with consistent aerial bombardment of the premier league - where as dutch football the aerial threat is a lot less. Lets hope I am wrong.

BigCarew Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Pleased with this signing, him and Clark will be an excellent centre back pairing, with dunne out for 2 months this signing is now even more important! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PandaMac Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 He only came here because we play the fabled " Dutch system ". He'll be very disappointed when he finds out we don't do that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic_bouma Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 physically he's made for the premier league.... and judging by the clips from holland and his positive comments he seems he's got the mental attitude.... truly hoping he has the ability and becomes the next Laursen Welcome Ron:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8pints Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 My mate seems to think you can already get good odds on Vlaar being sent off against Forrest. That would be something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
