So I hear the Thiago thread is closed.... Anyone know when the Strout off holiday?
 
Don't make me (have to figure out how to) close the entire transfer forum you muppets.
Doc Dwayne, we were up for a record on transfer forum and you closed the thread. Did Berbatov paid you to do so? I'll bet he was being afraid that we were going to break his record.
 
Im here! But mainly because there is feck all else place to go now. Who is this Strootman fella and why should I care?
 
Does this fella have a release clause? When will the Thiago thread be open again? Can we talk about Thiago in here? Is Strootman the next Messi? Is Rooney the next Strootman? Anyone?
 
Nevermind, I found out how to get my Thiago fix. This thread is now irrelevant.
 
After the Thiago transfer has calmed down quite a bit I decided to give this one another try. Yeah so this Strootman guy...he looks a bit average doesnt he? And I can safely say after watching him twice or 3 times in youtube videos that I'm an expert.
Also The Neviller rating him probably means he's really a bit shit
 
No, just that you've made your point that you don't want the lad numerous times - you don't need to reiterate it.

I've never seen him play. If you bothered to pay attention before making idiotic comments in a thread you weren't going to post in again you'd know this.

I think you're missing the point. You can't be an expert on a player that you haven't watched enough of, and you certainly can't use YouTube videos to formulate an opinion. That defeats the purpose of rating a player. Strootman is good, he's better than Cleverley defensively and offensively, but what I'm more interested in is the fact he'll provide us very good depth. Sometimes, you have to buy players to fill in, and we had a hard time without Carrick/Cleverley last season. I said it previously in this thread and I'll say it again: if we get Thiago and Strootman, it would be amazing. If we get Strootman, it would be good, but it wouldn't mean we've signed an average player. We need a defensive player, we can't solely focus our attention on Thiago, who I think we're going to sign, and negate the defensive aspects of our team...

He is not better than Cleverley. Especially in the final third, that is an insult.

Oh jesus you took me seriously? I'm sorry for that

I disagree and I do not see how that is an insult, considering most of us want Cleverley to do more in the final third. He isn't adventurous enough and takes a simple approach that has to be refined next season. Strootman is slightly better. He has very good technique when he strikers the ball and he can make great through balls. He had 6 goals and 10 assists in the Eredivisie, which is a good return.

I knew you weren't being serious about you being an "expert", but your posts have fast become tedious.

Ah ok. I've never said such a thing actually. Think he would be a good addition to the squad. He's a CM at the end of the day. Just can't get much excited about him.
 
I'm still waiting for this Strootman video so I can form an opinion on him.
 
He's average at best, I can't believe we're going to sign this motherfecker.
 
He's a central midfielder, therefore we're not going to sign him.

It's up there with Descartes' "Cogito, ergo sum" now.
