Steven Bergwijn

So you have come to the conclusion of how you rate this player by what you have read???

The world really has gone mad.

My comments are based on what TYPE of player he is - not how good he is. We just don’t need this type of player - unless he is a Messi of course ( which I somehow doubt!)

We need an upgrade on Moura for the WF positions, this player seems like he could be just that

This is about 4th/5th priority in our hierarchy of needs though.

I don't think buying in your 4th priority position prevents you from buying in your 1st or 2nd

it shouldn’t - but how long have you known Levy’s track record in delivering on top priorities?

I don't think the issues are linked

Harsh.

He did replace Keane, Berbatov and Defoe, with Frazier Campbell and Darren Bent.

Let's see how the next five days play out before getting too het up.

we now need real game changing quality recruits - not risky marginal upgrades. Beasts are needed now. No more NJaies or NKoudous .

How many of those players are available in January?

You might not be familiar with Bergwijn but he's not an N'Koudou level signing.

My point is, why are we frigging around with (possible but risky) incremental improvements to our squad - which are currently covered by a plethora of players - while we lack any sort of cover in 2 main areas - CF and DCM?

 

[billyiddo]

We shouldn't sign any players unless they are in those 2 positions?

Its only an issue if signing this chap prevents us from signing a CF or DM.

I think this guy has been a long term target and like son he is comfortable on left wing or as a striker, so this gives us the option now to put one of them up top whilst kane is out.

Also he is of son level not nkoudou.

I think the club have taken this route to get a player who will always be of great importance and still at the same time solve our short term need, rather than going for a recognised number nine who will be largely sidelined when kane is fit.

Also we are about to lose eriksen so an extra body in and around that part of the pitch is welcome.

If there were good available options for either position that we passed up to sign Bergwijn, you might have a point.

This is absolutely brilliant - this geezer seems to have "identified" the hotel bed.

Poor guy is going to have a load of trainspotters outside the hotel any minute now
