You're quite right. The Barcode mate I had at uni was chuffed with the deal though. Said pretty much that. He's a good footballer, won't be a detriment to the team etc. Just, eh, not much upside. He thought he was one of those players that peaked really early - when he looked mustard in his teens for Forest. Guess he was right but he wasn't a bad buy. Certainly for the first 2 or 3 yrs of his career with us anyway. Been with us at least 3 yrs too long though, imo. Talk about wasting money from a DL is a shrewd businessman POV.He was actually a prospect at that age, he just never improved past that level once on a decent salary and got ever more injury prone.
Better. Much better in fact. Jurgen was great with the fans but VDV just "got" this club and understood it immediately.
We'd certainly be able to go toe-to-toe with any midfield in the league. In terms of power, pace, strength and should this Xmas miracle occur creativity, we'd be right up there.
Yep, would be a massive signing. My natural pessimism has taken full hold though. I'd just be eternally grateful for, and even then very surprised by, an Eriksen type signing.
Ya, I can't see why avb wouldn't want sneijder either, just saying...
