Low risk transfer, s'all good.

Perhaps Markus Henriksen from Rosenborg, someday... or maybe Ole as a coach.
A backup versatile player is exactly what we need. Now just for a central midfielder.
The next Dennis Irwin.
Kaka next and we're sorted so...
Seems like a decent low risk deal for some much needed left back cover.
Yep. We do things like this all the time.
I've been watchin this bloke since he was 9 and have wanted us to get him ever since 
Is this a De Laet style transfer where he'll be bedded in the reserves or does he slot into the subs bench?
He's got over a hundred appearances in the dutch league and he was in the provisional Dutch squad for the Euro. How good he is, I don't know. But this isn't a De Laet.
First team. Evra out, new guy we've never heard of in.
How do we know if its good news? What if this guy is terrible and Evra is either just as terrible as last season or gets injured?
The guy who got ahead of him in the Dutch squad and started all the games in the Euros was terrible. Hopefully that was a mistake on Marwijk's part.
I highly doubt he'll be terrible. We will have scouted him, and wouldn't sign him if we weren't sure he could do a job. He may not be as good as Evra, but he won't be terrible.
What if van Persie gets injured and Rooney, Welbeck, Hernandez and Berbatov/Macheda all die two days after the end of this transfer window?
No problem. We'll have Henriquez.
We'd be allowed to bring a new striker outside of transfer window though.
Aye, the time of "where will the goals come from", wasn't it? However we don't have Solskjaer, so fortunately, no-one will feck of to Norway to build a new house (
Reminds me of my classic post on DevilPage.
).Then you'll be charged for your obvious involvement after this post and quite rightly too.

Is he your neighbor?

A bit earlier I think, before Ruud left. I don't remember the exact post though.
He followed him from Amsterdam to Arnhem. He's a stalker, has lived in Buttler's wardrobe since he was 10.
He must be shit, if he's 3rd choice in a squad where Jetro Willems is a first team player.
Yeah, Carrick's crap too.
oh snap.
It's true though, him being left out of the squad shouldn't mean much, especialy given the fact that Holland were terrible in the euros. Heck even RvP didn't start every game.
It's seems more of a Quinton Fortune/Mikael Silvestre type transfer rather than De Laet.... I would imagine he will provide immediate cover for left back and is unlikely to be loaned out or feature heavily in the reserves.
Any opinions on this lad from the Vitesse fans ?
Silverstre was an Inter player who had CL experience. So maybe more a fortune signing. That would be good
Seems like SAF sort of player , can play on the left and the right side.
It's actually a €5m fee.
I don't think it is but now that you've mentioned it I don't doubt people will use it against him.
Its pretty obvious that noone on here has seen him play.
Its still not going to stop people from predicting what sort of signing he will be.

He is just a back-up for Evra, going on the past few seasons means won't be used that much. We need a CM!
Cheaper than Baines anyway.
Well I'd rather we take a punt knowing that we have decent young players in Brady (who will go out on loan now I think) and Blackett in reserves than spend £15m plus on an average LB like Baines
Am I the only one thinking that this signing is to allow more funds towards a midfield target. It seems that Baines was a target but at the price Everton want then it would tie our hands elsewhere. I think it's an interesting signing given the rumours around Tiote or Cabaye.
Seems like a sensible buy to add some fullback cover on the cheap to me.
