Park Life 71 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Way ahead of the curve on here us lot. The 2 signings I promised are underway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I haven't took much notice of this lad considering I've took PSV on my coupons for most of the season, what I am reading/seeing of him today though is very positive. Seems he is a ever present in the Dutch team and very highly rated around Europe. His stats are decent too, likes to get forward with good movement and dictate play. I'm actually surprised we have got him without any relative competition for how highly he is rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Think Shteeve being fluent in Dutch swung it. Aye, was the first one mentioned as a target that he wanted so looks to be one that's been chased down to keep him onside. For me, as happy as I am to see us pay a reasonable fee for a well respected talent, I was most concerned about brining in quality, not quantity and that quality was needed at CB and CF. This looks like the player brought in to allow Sissoko to leave rather than fulfilling any of the urgent needs within the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Nobody is going to pay the 22m we want for Sissoko, rest easy Ringo....I see where you're heads at tho, it was the first thing that crossed my mind. But this lad is imo a lot better on the ball than Sissi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobos 297 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 He'll also do well sat behind a striker in a Beardsley type role. Many people think he'd be just as effective as a CF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2204 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Doesnt de Jong play in that position? Seems strange to prioritise a midfielder when were desperate for an out and out striker and centre backs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21756 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 He sounds canny. Can we squeeze him into a side with sissoko and de Jong though? Not a lot of width in that midfield. Not that a bit of strength in depth in the centre of the pitch is a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4711 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Bit of digging suggests he spent most of last season playing deeper than the number 10 spot as a regular centre mid, think that will be our place for him tbh as he's a step up in terms of passing and dribbling to anyone we have there right now, colback or tiote sat further back giving it to him to distribute properly. Think we may see sissoko on the right wing a bit more this term too, he's decent at it and tends to play there in the France team. We don't look to be going for wingers either and we don't have many other options on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Went on the PSV forum there. Fuck me they're disrespectful of the toon. They say he should've went to Everton, look how low Ashley has dragged us in the eyes of Europe. Nearly all of them are in massively high praise of his ability, and 1 goal in 3 games from midfield suggests we have some boy on our hands. I'm thoroughly delighted with the signing.

Ausman 0 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Good to see our first signing happen. In that video certainly has an eye for goal and passing, will be interesting to see how he copes in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
