Apperently we're about to sign 19 year old Kees Smit from AZ Alkmaar. I quite like him. Silky smooth touch and control. Plays with his head up. Mostly plays like a #10.
Behave yourself; what do you mean "about to sign"?
Do you mean "Twitterers reckon we're interested, alongside Cheatski of course, in that player, but negotiations are a long way off being finalised"?
 
I remember when the new stadium was the absolutely essential ingredient that was going to propel us into the big league and have us competing at the top table for all the best players (and not at all just a way for ENIC to lock in a big chunk of the sale value of their asset) ... sigh.
It was going to have us competing in terms of being able to pay the fees. It wouldn't all of a sudden make every player want to join us.

"Was going" is what I said. I'm sure I remember reading that it was supposed to help us compete on wages as well, yet here we are, somehow, still talking about selling to buy, "value" deals and investing in "potential". Who woulda thunk it? I actually think we'd have won the league under Pochettino if we hadn't had the disruption of the move to Wembley when we did. But never mind, all in the past and whatnot.

Decent young player, has become a regular at AZ since the last time we played them. Haven't heard anything regarding links to us here in the Netherlands though. Dutch media would know this - but no signs yet. Perhaps another Lange surprise?
