Reminds me of Redondo...however it's difficult to judge from a couple of youtube videos.
Kevin Strootman
- Thread starter Maajid
- Start date

If the rumour is true and his cost will be around 16-18 millions, I'll definitely consider him as a decent deal.
He's evolving into complete box to box midfielder and with solid assist rate, he's already established in his national team.

I've always thought that
Bebe & Obertan come to mind for us. For other teams its players names like Denis Stracqualursi & Jonjo Shelvey
What did you think about the name "Nani" then?
Yep. It's odd but true. I changed my name because it was rubbish. Result? Instant improvement in my fortunes.
Players like Danny Higginbottom never stood a chance.
Is that your Sean Connery impression?
I don't know. I only wrote it down, didn't say it out loud.
Reminds you of Redondo? Sign this player immediately! If this guy is even half as good as Redondo i'll jizz in my pants.
He was found out against tougher oposition though. Heitinga is also a starter for Holland so starting for Holland doesn't make you good enough for us. And he's also not exactly carrying PSV in the league right now. He's just going down with the rest of the team. I would expect any United quality player, and especially when they are labelled as the dutch Keane, to make a difference in a title bid with a club like PSV in the dutch league.
Just saying, I have yet to see anything from him to suggest he's good enough for United.
We could say the same about Eden Hazzard .
He is only 21. Surely he will be signed on the player that he will evolve into over 4 - 5 years.
Correct me if I am wrong he is only just turned 22 right? Keano was 22 when he came to United so give the lad a chance.
Maulensteen quoted in Dutch Media as saying that we've no interest in this player and also he's not the new Roy Keane.
We've signed him, then.
I wouldn't really listen to what Maulensteen says. He seems to be wrong most of the time. Was wrong about Sneijder and Stekelenburg.
How is he the new Roy Keane?
Yep we are interested in him then pretty much. Meulensteens smokescreens are notoriously ineffective.Interesting from RI's twitter account(who are generally more reliable than your usual ITK's)
We have to tickle Mendes bollocks again to sign Strootman. That does sound a little far fetched to me. Why can't the agent get him to Arsenal?
Im not arsed whose bollocks we have to tickle as long as we buy a decent midfielder! FFS one of the Glazers could deep throat Mendes for a month for all i care, as long as we get the player we want!
I don't know mate, I'm as clueless as you're.
Why do we have to deal with certain agents now? That sounds a bit strange why make deals even harder than they already are?
I'm hoping the deal in true as I think this kid will be a very good player soon.
*** think he'd be a superb signing
Ok. We have certain agents onside. They sort us out with player's and keep existing ones happy. To keep them onside we get them involved in incoming transfers. Everyone's a winner, bar the players agent.
So could there be any truth in this one? Wouldn't mind him here at all based on the YouTube videos. If he's as good as he looks then im all for it. His goal against Uruguay was
explain the likes of Raiola then?
Silly season has kicked off. Until the player has signed then take all rumours with a pinch of salt as 99% won't come to fruition
Tall, gangly, left-footed. The midfield version of Van Persie?
He is tall, physical and a good passer. I reckon we need that more than a smaller attacking midfielder
Raola, former agent of technical director at juve pavel nedved. Juve have raiola onside so he sorts them out with player's they want on his books. I suspect we've decided that if you can't beat them, join them. Particularly when we'd quite like on or two of mendes' clients this summer.
It was remarkable how de gea couldn't complete his deal until he changed agents to.......
I recon we need both but actually need a nimble attacking midfielder more than we need a Strootman type(due to already having Carrick who can already perform a similar role when fit).
I'd love to see acquire both types however as they are needed.
Strootman and Carrick are nothing like each other as players though!
They can both play the deep lying playmaker role is what I was suggesting.
But yes they are different in terms of the way they both go about that role.
However we do not really have a young creative ACM who is consistant and can run with the ball at pace and drive the play forward ala Silva and that is what we need more than a deeplying playmaker type unless we plan to use Strootman differently than PSV currently do.
In fairness he is capable of playing as an attacking CM and has done on occasions so who knows.
I don't think I've ever seen him play but I've heard so much about him this last 6 months or so. I'll be really keen to watch him at the Euros.
So we're signing Strootman, Kagawa and Hazard
Seriously doubt it
