Skruff Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Really like the look of him. But that occasional long ball he tries and always seem to miss annoys me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousHolteUnion Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Really like the look of him. But that occasional long ball he tries and always seem to miss annoys me. Better than Collins/Dunne's constant long balls that always miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Really like the look of him. But that occasional long ball he tries and always seem to miss annoys me.I think by Dutch standards he's a bit of a clogger, but compared to the kind of centre-backs we're used to he's like Beckenbauer.

Ads Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I can think of one long ball at Newcastle where he pinged it 50 yards straight to Weimann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted September 4, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2012 I think by Dutch standards he's a bit of a clogger lol. Nice term!Never heard that before? Thought it was standard vocabulary. Must be out of fashion. I was similarly surprised when I described someone as "a bit of a headbanger" - to the the great amusement of younger colleagues who weren't familiar with the term.

AValon Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 He plays as though he's been at Villa years. Very comfortable and confident on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SikhInTrinity Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 A Dutch clogger, it was on MOTD where a ball was launched by Newcastle aiming towards BA or Cisse, and instead of hoofing it away, he completely dummied the striker and passed it away. He is very good on the ball, he doesn't just hoof it to anybody, he actually tries to go direct by finding a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I worry a Man Utd will steal him in a couple years. Becoming one of my favorite players. Another solid display and some of his touches and runs out of defence were brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 He is fantastic. Really fantastic. Today he was Laursen-fantastic, only better with the ball at his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronk-villa Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 have to say I was unsure about this guy, but he's certainly looking good, so happy to eat a little humble pie. Also funny that he's "like Beckenbauer compared to what we're used to" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
