Yeah, if those two are the 'double dutch' signings, it'd be strong moves to build up squad depth with high upside. The problem I'd have is we would have a really hard time getting Eriksen, Siggy and Holtby match minutes. I'm honestly worried about Holtby's future with us and it's so unfortunate in my mind as I feel we've been missing a player of his creative ability.
Isn't this about the time somebody says 'isn't this about the time JJ turns up?'
I mentioned this over at the Bale thread earlier, but we had ITK from JJ last night stating that the deal for him was pretty advanced but he had hoped it might still fall through.
With the Tweets tonight seemingly more aggressive/open on all the Bale shit, could it be possible that we now are certain he's staying?
This comes on the back of some reports stating that there were supposed to be critical talks between us and Real Madrid over today and potentially tomorrow. Maybe Real Madrid have no way of meeting our demands and as a result have folded?
And, along with that we now have Suarez proclaiming in the open that he wants to be moved. Could it be that Real Madrid have already made their interest known and now he's eager to move on to Real?
It just seems like the way things have unfolded over the past few hours they could possibly be connected. Of course, there's a strong chance they aren't connected at all and I'm dumb.
Come on Snarf, don't lose heart!
At least wait 10-15 games see where we are with things...
We're in danger of getting a few 'big-club-problems'; good players getting minimal minutes, good problems to have.
Holtby is fine, he's versatile, eager & should have settled a bit better now. Plus with fitness doubts over Sandro & Dembele, Chadli & Paulinho maybe needing time to get up to speed, there'll be good opportunities for everyone to stake a good claim.
Paulinho says 'Fuck you Snarf, I play.'I could see a midfield 3 of Sandro, Eriksen and Holtby actually. Maybe against 'lesser sides.'
Why? He told the truth.The club then needs to do better when it comes to preparing people for interviews with the scumfucks that infest the media. Don't give them an inch.
There won't be any time for a meeting with them Friday if we're tying up a double dutch signing, which we always do on FridaysWell Cadena Ser , Spanish radio have now said that that meeting will not happen now and postponed 'possibly' to friday.
Paulinho says 'Fuck you Snarf, I play.'
Probably will.Bugger it, we can play Paulinho as a roving centre back !
Theres a few people with access to the social media password.
the sad part is they will be be disciplined for interacting with fans. As that is not the way donna cullen wants things done.
just praying it aint the rather attractive girl I am trying to seduce!
Alderweireld makes a ton of sense, really. He will be asked to come in and immediately contribute in some capacity, but when everyone is healthy he will be a rotation option as he continues to develop better technique (something he really needs to do). But, if he flops it's not a huge financial burden as he'd likely be on relatively cheap wages and his generally cheap transfer fee would not represent a huge hit on the clubs finances.
And, if he pans out and in a few years time he's a legit CB for us, his value could nearly triple by the time he's 27.
It's a smart financial move that would probably be even more attractive for Levy as he knows what it'll cost to land him and Levy surely knows he'd prefer to come to us.
Side Note: But can we seriously put into place some sort of partnership with Ajax?

Is Alderweireld all that good?
I know this is stealing Liverpool's targets but we were linked with Ilori (who's young, so like a Chiriches alternative) but what about Papadopolous from Schalke?
Way too expensive. He would be like double the caulker money. We already have Verts who is a clear beast and Kaboul who could be one if fit. We don't need another world beater necessarily, just need someone solid and preferably young.Is Alderweireld all that good?
