    The only one I could think of who's done pretty well is Wijnaldum

    Mentioning Van Nist and Van Pers backed up the thought that it does seem a long time ago anyone Dutch came over to the prem and was a genuine success. Kuyt and Robben for example.

    Add Janssen to the hardly been a success Dutch list

    Wijnaldum? Really? ;nonono

    ;hmm

    I think he's been less of a success than the two I mentioned..... or at least as good as, for only one season though.

    He got relegated from the Prem in his 1st season ;lol




    Which is why it's always important to define your terms. ;biggrin

    He scored plenty of goals (about 15?) from midfield for Newcastle to provoke the Liverpool transfer. Mmmmm Transfers ;wahoo He's now a smaller fish at Liverpool but I'd say he's still done ok. I only mentioned him because he's the only recent one I could think of that actually has done well. Well enough to get another club to spend plenty to purchase him whilst here

    Blinds ok, only usually gets in the side if Utd have injuries though. I'd say if he was in the Newcastle side that got relegated it wouldn't particularly have been his fault (as it wasnt Wij's considering the goals he scored) although as a defender he may have had the finger pointed at him more. So I'm not having relegation as a factor because his individual contribution was more than decent.

    Van Dijk, as you pointed out, didnt come from Eridivisie to Prem. He had a spell to acclimatize in Scotland. But, to be fair, the mouse with clogs on sitting next to me has adjudicated that he counts

    ;wahoo

    Think Wijnaldum has been really good for both Newcastle and Liverpool

    Stories that Fletcher might be off to Huddersfield for 5M ;hmm

    PLF haven't we still got to agree a price with Man Utd as he came on a free but was under 23, thereby requiring compensation?

    Aside from that, I like the lad and would keep him. Only 21 and I think he shows some real talent. Needs a bit of nurturing and experience but I feel could become a very decent player for us. Hopefully either gets more game time this season or probably more realistically a loan to a club where he will play regularly - perhaps in the championship - would do him the world of good. Don't sell please!

    On loan to Huddersfield might be ok.

    Florin I think we paid Man U one million compensation for him , I agree he showed promise would like to keep him

    Sell our only fit striker. Good Idea

    Kouyate is in my mind without doubt our most important player. I hope he goes nowhere.

    WHUFC_news is quoting from an article by football.london which was quoting from an interview with Sen360.fr from last Wednesday although I've not been able to find the original article with Google

    My biggest fear ahead of this transfer window was losing Kouyate, who I think could fit into a lot of teams.

    Lost in translation I reckon

    Man City are trying to buy Aubameyang (Sky). Iheanacho is definitely not staying at Man City.

    Aubameyang, Aguero, Jesus, Sane, Sterling, Silva, De Bruyne, Gundogan. How can they fit all these players in their team?! It's insane!
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Well, they don't defend much. ;biggrin

    As for Kouyate, there aren't many squads/teams he wouldn't get in. I dont want him to go but I wouldn't blame him if he did
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Thing with Kouyate (thankfully) is while he's an immense player and probably among our best 3 players his limitations in his passing game is what's going to help us keep him as the top top teams want that little bit extra in terms of on the ball comfort

    Don't see how he fits into any top 6 team except maybe United (mourinho would like him)
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    I think he's exactly what Arsenal are missing.

    Don't worry Yeold, A C should be back by Xmas. ;whistle

    Kouyate saying he complained about being played at right back when there was a fit defender we also had snodgrass Antonio feghouli not being happy at being played out of position . I hope Slav has got the message now !
