    I don't know if this addresses Twente's need at this moment. I'd like to see a more offensive-minded player being recruited, like Wijnaldum or Toornstra. Having said that, coveting a promising player with expiring contract does make sense.

    What would be worse: your reaction (at the time) to the news that McLaren was hired or your reaction to the news that Adriaanse was hired (assuming that's who Twente hires)?

    Well Fer is a left footed midfielder and we need one of those. I would also like Wijnaldum but his wage demands were apparently too high. Twente's been interested in Fer for a while, I think he's our only genuine transfer target right now. It's all a bit difficult now of course as we haven't got a new coach yet. I can imagine a player wanting to know about who that is first.

    Adriaanse would be worse. I really loathe him as a person. I can't stand the sight of the man. He'll have my support of course if he does sign but I'll really need to flip a switch in my head.

    I wish I could give you a 1000 times reputation DRB300. Perfect assessment of her "debating" tactics. And remind me to never pick an argument with you.

    This thread is for Twente related news only.

    I've created a special thread for you and your mates here, and I'd like to ask you politely to keep it in there. Thank you!

    Posting from my mobile.

    My big brother DRB has set Johan straight as eloquently as ever.

    For the single person defending her, if so many people across BS and certainly not only the Netherlands board have problems with Johan, maybe other posters shouldn't be targeted by your outrage lol? I think she has cleaned up her act considerably thanks to Pag, but her pointing fingers is unjust.

    I remember both Utrecht and Vitesse having club threads on here this season and who was being miss negativity all around? Exactly.

    Nobody has to discredit you if you wouldn't make up so much stuff. Elia literally said "Munsterman maakt me kapot"when he wasn't allowed to go back to Ajax. How is that not negative?

    Moving on and to stay on topic, Munsterman has revealed yesterday that Guidetti will sign, but he hasn't so far because he's on holiday. Fer is more allround than Wijnaldum, but Georginio gives you goals.

    Whatever keeps you from actually addressing the points made in a discussion right?

    For the last time, I'm happy to discuss anything Twente related here. I am no longer going to respond to any posts that are not on topic. I have created a thread where you can chat about me amongst yourselves. Thank you.

    This whole discussion started with you calling out racists. Don't act surprised when people come here defending their opinions.

    I don't know... if I were Wijnaldum, I'd probably trade off some wage with the opportunity to play in Europe. I think in the long term this will serve him better (beef up the experiences and get more exposure).

    What's the scoop on Jens Toornstra? I remembered that a number of clubs were after him not too long ago, and I believe Twente is one of them. I watched a few highlights of him last season, and was highly entertained. Looks like a workhorse kid with actually good skills on the ball.

    I think Toornsta will stay at least one year at Den Haag. Den Haag and Kees Jansma, Den Haag supporter, former-Alphense Boys chairman, took him from the 5th division to give him a chance at the pro-level. Boys like him are thankful for things like that.

    Wijnaldum I don't know what to think. Maybe he has the same thoughts as me and thinks that Feyenoord can show some nice things next year, after years of misery.

    I like Toornstra. I don´t think we´ve ever been seriously linked with him though, even though he himself has said he´d like to join Twente at some stage I think! You could argue that we already have players of his type. Fer really is our first priority now as is a left back. I think other new players will strongly depend on whoever we get as our new coach. There are people here who claim that the deal with Adriaanse has already been done btw.

    I like him and I think he's massively underrated. Read this post I made when he was linked to PSV.

    Van Halst doesn't like him though

    Alright time to start a new thread. And please this time do keep it to Twente only stuff. The mods will start handing out infractions to people who ignore us this time.

    Co Adriaanse also made AZ play by far the most entertaining football they've ever played. With Perez on the wing and Barry van Galen on midfield.

    I apologize for not being able to type in a way people understand what I'm trying to convey. Unfortunately I didn't mean the thread was one to harass Ms. Neeskens which she oddly created herself, but a lot of the stuff that came after my original request wasn't about Twente. It was more attacks that should have been stopped long before.

    Give me a bit of time to think of a new thread title? Seeing that we're apparently on the verge of signing Adriaanse, it's almost a done deal. He might be presented this weekend.

    Hahaaa don't I know it!

    But you see that's the type of nazi behaviour that I don't like about Adriaanse. I guess I'll just have to put up with it seeing that it's almost a done deal.

    Two Dutchies. Funny how a website is more credible among fans now than reputable newspapers
