Lets remind ourselves of his best moment previously in the Prem shall we? 

 

 

He'll do the same on 19th.

 

Two own goals in stoppage time!

Reported in May Ajax need to sell him due to his wages

 

Apparently he is on £75k a week

Can’t see why Rudkin wouldn’t beat or match that wage, 5 year deal too, so we can have him knocking round the club like Preat

Yep, seems to be our only planned tactic. And to be fair that should please everyone that has been calling for us to play 'counter attacking' football for the past couple of seasons. 

 

If we signed Bergwijn I could see him being used as a false 9 type striker too.

I firmly believe he's going to start to implement a 'get the ball forward, quickly' (not long ball) style, when the season kicks off. I think he just needs to get the right personnel through the door. It's actually not bad to watch. He tries to have his team pass quickly through the lines.

If he has us playing this way, the fans will get on board quickly.

 

personally, I’ve been wanting to see this for a long time.

Convinced we are now going to sign Jordan Henderson too.

Only if we're not losing too many games.

Kind of disagree here. We are favourites to go down, and most fans expect it. If we are losing 4-3 most weeks, with the odd point or 3 here or there and us actually being excited and scoring goals, it won’t be too much of an issue.

hence why i said 'too many'. Hard to define what is too many.

[South Shire Fox]

Just feels like its Cooper at Forest again. Try and sign every player going Championship Manager style

Be lovely if the club ever decided to get some pace at the back too.

They look like they want to recoup the €26m they paid spurs 2 season ago, fair enough but he’s not worth that for me, move

really hope we dont pay over 20mil

[StriderHiryu]

He was really underwhelming when he moved to Spurs, despite good numbers in the Eredivisie.

 

Interestingly this is not the first time we've been linked to him. When Spurs brought him from PSV we had an offer accepted too, but he chose Spurs instead. I often wondered if we would have got Champions League football had we had signed him, but looking at his time in England that is definitely not the case. Scored just 4 league goals, 2 of which were against us. 

 

If we loaned him for a season with an option to buy, that would be a different story.

 

 

[ARTY_FOX]

Hell yeah. I hope this happens.

[Lineker's Left Foot]

Yeah let it get to about Page 4 on this thread before it eventually starts going quiet; wait for a new name three days later and then repeat 🙄

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

He's absolute pony. Sort of deal Harry Redknapp would make, this.

Tbf at this point if any new signings help us avoid relegation he is worth €26 million euros

“Berg berg wiiiiiijjjjjnnnnn” to the tune of UB40 Red red wine.

 

You heard it here first and now you can’t get it out of your head.

The Athletic reporting that we can't afford Carvalho or Nelson, both were about the same! Seems like its panic station behind the scenes.
