Would be great and I imagine that if LVG comes he would be a player he'd want to try and bring in, come to that I would imagine De Boer would want him too

What does the article say BTW I don't want to download the app they show just to read it, free or not I don't think they are a very credible site, not that there are many if any that are of course

Also today Sportsdirectnews claim we're in for Salvio, Gaitan, Darder and Dodo.

This is the trouble they just seem to throw out names and lots of them. Good as some of the names might be we aren't going to be chasing after all of them

He's a central midfielder but an excellent tackler/harrier/ball winner with a very good passing range who likes to look to get the ball forward quickly whenever he gains possession. Unlike a lot of players he'll always try to look for a more progressive ball rather than just laying the ball off and he has good vision, reading and reaction to enable him to do this. Apart from being a very good player he seems a very strong character who likes to win and doesn't let his head drop if things are not going well.

Downsides he's not that tall although he can be tenacious in the tackle but obviously is not a strong aerial presence, he's also more a passer than a player looking to take players on, he might turn a player or take one on and then play a pass but he's not say a Kovacic who likes to go past players.

I imagine the greater tempo and intensity of the PL might mean he needs a little while to adjust, maybe not finding the same sort of time and space he's used to in the Eredivisie but I think he has the quality and character to soon adapt

Who's better Clasie or Vilhenna?

Well there two different type of players..but right now i would take Clasie. Hes a little scrappy player which i would love us to have..sorta like xavi but less talented.

Sounds sort of like Modric. Never seen him play but heard good things.
