Don_Simon Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I've forgotten what it's like to have best players Oh the contrasts. Previous summers weve been battling to keep hold of our "stars" and this summer were battling to get rid of our rejects. Not sure which I prefer?!

KHV Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Anyone who saw sat, how does his pace look? From what people were saying before he signed, his pace may be suspect...with him and Clark (not particularly quick himself) may be a disadvantage when playing a fast strike force..(not that I'm trying to be negative) I would say pace wise he is on a par with Gareth Barry.

He's quite similar to Barry in some senses, reads the game, not the quickest physically but fast thinking, started out in defensive positions...erm...played for Villa, brown hair?

Feyenoord Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I see Feyenord lost 1-0 tonight. Wonder how much they missed our new boys. We haven't really missed them. We have missed John Guidetti more than Vlaar or/and El Ahmadi. We missed so many chances against Kiev...it's unreal. We missed a lot of chances last weekend as well but still won 0-1 against FC Utrecht. Luckily we have a good draw for the Europa League against Sparta Prague so we are probably going into the group stages. We have signed Joris Mathijsen on a free transfer from Malaga as a replacement for Vlaar and our young centre backs Stefan de Vrij and Bruno Martins Indi have been called up for the Belgium vs Holland game this week. Joris Mathijsen is also there while Vlaar is not in the squad this time. I'm looking forward to see how Vlaar and El Ahmadi get on the PL. I hope they do well.

SikhInTrinity Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 We're happy we have Vlaar, he has impressed even though we've conceded 6 haha! Just needs organising. But big test will come this Saturday against a very physical side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Solid debut. Has strength and class about him. Decent on the ball and had that great touch over Cole's (?) head to get past him. Also that rocket shot that was heading for the bottom corner was impressive. He will get a few goals for us this season I think. Very happy with this signing.

Good debut and a good positive from a poor match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8pints Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 He even got the Terry Butcher headwear on his debut, what a great symbol of what he'll do for us. (Give 100% not get hurt all the time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banger75 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 This bloke is immense. I loved the way he pushed forward at the end trying to spark something. He hates to lose, and is all class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I say buy another Defender, and stick Vlaar in midfield. He has got that drive that we lacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
