He was the one PSV wanted to buy for the defense. He made a stupid choice as the City Football Group is buying wholesale players and then tries to put them out on loan. Palmer-Brown, with alot of hype signed for them too and now is in limbo about where he will end up. These are young players still needing development. But why would a club want to pay for a player while adding value on him for those vulgares.
https://www.ad.nl/transfer-talk/philippe-sandler-voor-recordbedrag-op-weg-naar-city~a09aade0/ Philippe Sandler voor recordbedrag op weg naar City DroomtransferPhilippe Sandler staat voor een transfer naar Manchester City. De verwachting is dat de verdediger vanavond nog een akkoord bereikt met de City Football Group over een recordtransfer, waarbij het 20-jarige talent het seizoen afmaakt in Zwolle. Johan Inan 29-01-18, 18:36 Laatste update: 18:42 Technisch directeur Gerard Nijkamp wil een akkoord 'bevestigen noch ontkennen'. Dat de clubs (nagenoeg) rond zijn, blijkt wel uit het feit dat Sandler en zijn management toestemming hebben gekregen om vandaag in Manchester tot een persoonlijk akkoord te komen. De verwachting is dan ook dat er spoedig witte rook komt over een overstap van Sandler, die daarbij het seizoen zal afmaken in Zwolle. PEC Zwolle ontvangt drie miljoen euro voor de verdediger. Nijkamp laat bovendien weten dat het gaat om interesse van 'buitenlandse clubs', hetgeen kan betekenen dat de CFG hem niet doorschuift naar Manchester City, maar één van de andere zusterclubs van het voetbalbedrijf. Ook de Spaanse clubs Malága en Girona maken bijvoorbeeld - al dan niet gedeeltelijk - onderdeel uit van CFG. Het is ook niet ondenkbaar dat Sandler komend seizoen in de eredivisie gestald zal worden." If he did sign for them without a payrise far above of what PSV would pay him, he and his agent are fools. His future payrises depend on what he shows in meaningful confrontations, like EL and CL. After this stunt of this trade house bunch by stealing a player PSV wanted (they did it with that Ukrainian midfielder last season and Palmer-Brown this winter too) it doesnot make it realistic he's going to have a meaningful loan in the Eredivisie. Not with PSV, Feyenoord or Ajax. So he will stall in his development and eventually end up in a low flying top league club. Brilliant choice. To call it a dream transfer by the journy is fecking moron. 226026
Roma doesnt even want him: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...rejected-Man-United-defender-Daley-Blind.html
He also put in the pass that caused the penalty for their first goal. He was fantastic and probably the 2nd best player for Watford yesterday. Would like to see him called back up.
Here is Janmaat's goal again. We should install him as our next striker, can't do much worse then the other clowns we got right now:
I thought I would never say this, but Mike van der Hoorn is playing quite well at Swansea as they are now out of the drop zone.
Saw this in another thread: New [QUOTE = "Doogs, post: 36265930, member: 182821"] so Roma have signed up to 16 year old colombian born dutch winger by the name of Vicente Besuijen. Apparently turned down Tottenham to join Roma according to the kid himself. https://www.transfermarkt.com/vicente-besuijen/profil/spieler/412954 [/ QUOTE] You think that we can sway him to play for Colombia if we improve while the Dutch attempt to rediscover themselves? It could be a while for him and because he hasn't played at senior level, he could be a promising player for us.
not really.it mainly due to emergence of Lorenzo pellegrini who is performing better than him. nainggolan and Strootman- were both more BTB type and with De Rossi,Nainggolan shifted to AM forming the formidable midfield. Pellegrini is young and more creative than strootman. Strootman- is jus hanging in there and its highly likely due to his injury which he never recovered fully. I'm not sure if he might be groomed at DM should De Rossi hang his boot.
Afellay could've been a world-class player. Bad career choices and that terrible injury at Barca played a role in him not reaching the absolute top.
Koeman visited the matches in the Eredivisie this weekend. I guess he only saw at AZ something that looked like football. Given the woefull play of the other big teams he must have wondered what he was thinking to sign up for the Orange job.
Afellay had very good quickness and a hard shot; unfortunately he had very poor field sense and tried to do too much rather than finding open players. to me this is the biggest failing of a player and we see it right now in Kluivert. Fortunately, Kluivert is still young and learning.
I've watched some of the recent Swansea matches and he has been playing quite well. I think he warrants at least a look at by Koeman.
Koeman will introduce the new captain when he will announce his squad selection: http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/293048-jurgen-klopp-virgil-van-dijk
Hopefully Koeman takes some inspiration from Klopp in setting up the Netherlands. The pieces are there to have a strong team though some players need instruction and grooming.
