Please no. Very overrated.
I'd rather have over-rated than plain s****.
I was being nice. Plain s*** is exactly what you get from him most of the time. He certainly isn't a left back..
Aah right! I've only seen him a couple of times for Holland, never for Ajax though.
He's a lot like N'Zogbia actually, when I think about it. He was promising when he first came on the scene, and has been very inconsistent since. His managers thought they could transform him to a good wing back, but he has been very, and I mean very, suspect defensively. This season he has been in slightly better form playing on the wing. As for Newcastle, I would prefer to keep N'Zogbia or play Jonas on the left and get somebody for the right wing. Urby Emmanuelson will not come cheap, and will not be worth the money, especially if we attract him for competition for the left back position, where he is hidious..
