Optimistic Nut Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Would he go to a club where he knows he'll be second choice though? That's the big problem we have. I'm sure he could go to one of the Old Firm clubs or another Premier League side where he'd get more first-team opportunities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Why is Berner free in January? Didn't Perch play a holding midfield role a fair bit at Forest? Maybe a better option than Smith as back up to Tiote? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I don't think Perch deserves to stand within 4 yards of Tiote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 If the Tiote signing and Legear link is anything to go by I'd imagine we've been scouting Holland/Belgium. If so then we could do worse than Ronald Vargas of Club Brugge. Plays as an attacking midfielder or a wide player on both sides, Venezuelan international and has scored 12 goals in 19 games this season. Been linked with teams in Spain recently and might be a good alternative/subsititute to Ben Arfa. Work permit might be a problem, though, unless he's got Belgian citizenship yet. (only takes a few years to obtain a Belgian passport) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Belgium really does have a lot of good prospects. I did a list a while back of players from both Holland and Belgium we should be looking at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine there's a chance of screwing it up again. They can never get a settled side, and the young players all have ridiculous egos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Gillet Alderwield Kompany Van Buyten Pocognoli Vertonghen Defour Felliani Hazard Lukaku Dembele Bench of Mirallas, Legear, Witsel, Simons, Lombaerts Mingnolet, Vadis Ofoe. Really good young team in the making there, sadly it won't come to fruition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 The likes of Mertens and Chadli you haven't even mentioned. They've got an exceptional generation coming through atm, but it's being severely wasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 This crop of Belgians is extremely exciting, but you just know they'll still mess it up. They could take on the world if they wanted to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I put a few quid on them to win 2012 ages ago, got about 110/1 I think. They really do have a very good side in the making. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Would they take Guus Hiddink on as manager? If they do, they can be a bit special in 3 yrs time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty strong group, is a shame either one of them or Turkey will have to miss out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've recently had their fingers burnt with fellow Dutch journeyman Dick Advocaat, who did a very poor job. They've gone with a more known quanitity this time round with a Belgian who managed them back in the 90s, but he hasn't had the best of starts either. Anyway, Hiddink is contracted to Turkey atm.
