Munsterman shall never surrender! yet another Twente thread [R]

Wonder if this financial trouble will force their hand in selling Suarez. His stock will be high (especially if he has a good WK). I think we're looking good to take the CL playoff spot, now I just need to hope for an easy draw.

 

we're fine.

everton are reportedly interested in vertonghen and they can spend up to 20 mil. on him.

will probably be closer to the 15 mil. mark but that amount along with the sale of an emanuelson will take us off our debt.

twente will have to compensate the loss of n'kufo, ruiz & wally with the brolly next season if they do win the league, since i assume the latter 2 will follow n'kufo's example and move to greener pastures.

 

Are the Dutch TV contracts not paying out big for CL appearances?

 

David Moyes isn't going to spend 20 mil on Vertonghen since he bought Johnny Heitinga for 7 mil. Euro.

N'kufo will be tough to replace, but not impossible and I don't see Ruiz leaving after just one season in the Eredivisie.

 

heitinga is a different story altogether, he went to everton midseason because atletico madrid are strapped for cash.

ruiz' dream is to play in spain, if he can be there next season he'll take the opportunity.

 

David Moyes wasn't going to spend much more for Heitinga is my point and I don't believe Vertoghen would have a spot on the team. Everton is set at LB with Leighton Baines and they've got better CBs than Vertoghen.

I know Ruiz wants to play in Spain, but I don't now if Twente is going to get the big offers this offseason. If what Johan says about Ruiz only leaving for a big Spanish club I'd say there's if less of a chance.

 

he didn't need to spend more because 7 mil. was the asking price. heitinga only left to atletico for 10 mil because he had 1 year left in his contract.

btw.

and have you seen this,

20 m. is far off i agree, but 15 m. for vertonghen is very reasonable.

 

My point is is that Moyes doesn't spend a lot of money on players. He went for Heitinga because he knew he was getting a deal. I understand Moyes wants Vertonghen and why wouldn't he? He's a solid, versatile player but if Vermaelen only cost Arsenal 12 mil. Euro, I can't see Vertoghen going for 15 or 20.

 

fellaini's fee is reported to be up to €18 - 20 million.

heitinga probably played there due to injuries, he has played everywhere in defense and midfield for everton now.

 

no this is only fellaini's 2nd season and you said 'never'.

like everybody else i don't think any dutch club as of right now can dream of reaching the quarterfinals of the cl, but some of you are exaggerating a bit.

barca will miss puyol, pique, iniesta and zlatan.

arsenal are without fabregas, rvp, gallas and arshavin.

that's not 6

ajax and psv without 4 starters are still presentable, even in cl, twente maybe as well.

no dutch club can win it for some foreseeable time, but we can definately compete.

 

Interesting.

I'm very curious to see where all the Belgian youngsters will end up at during the Summer. There's a good chance a lot of them (Dembele, Vertonghen, Witsel, Defour, Hazard, ...) will move on

 

dembele & vertonghen yes.

dembele because az need to sell him for future funds and vertonghen because, like vermaelen, has expressed his wish in playing in the epl.

i'm not sure about the others.

hazard is one of the stars for lille and won't be getting much play time at one of the bigger clubs due to his age, will also cost a lot.

witsel should move on, but his reputation exceeds him, will only move if standard are prepared to lower his fee.

defour is one i think will have the most chance of moving abroad from the belgian based players, but his past of long term injuries may hinder a transfer.

 

very true, i agree.

however, those 4 mentioned is the equivalent of barca missing messi, zlatan, xavi and iniesta.

without those 4 barca aren't nearly as strong either.

eriksen - pantelic - sulejmani

gabri - de jong - enoh

emanuelson - oleguer - wielaert - van der wiel

stekelenburg​

= hardly cannon fodder imo..

only line that is looking bleak is cb, but that's because we hardly saw those 2 in action this season and when depended on oleguer was pretty good.

vermeer, anita, silva, aissati, rommedahl, lindgren & lodeiro on the bench.

 

Qué? Before this current injury, he never really had a long term one.

 

this one counts for 2.

he's still out i believe?

if only he had joined ajax like he should have. we could've made some money on him.

 

LOL

Yeah, it really hurt his career to stay in Belgium.
