Geordie Ahmed Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Mark Douglas @MsiDouglas 2h @asmith_11 I think it'll be a very big summer for #nufc. Some big changes in personnel afoot. If we get rid Smith, Shola, Lovon, Simpson,Guthri, Harper. Get rid of Guthrie? Need to get him to sign a new contract Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 MsiDouglas Mark Douglas @asmith_11 Yes, in a positive way. But maybe a few sold too (Tiote etc) - money then re-invested in another Cabaye etc. 2 hours ago Favorite Retweet Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 We seem to do well scouting and signing, but keeping up the quality of signings like Tiote, Ba and Cabaye (hopefully Cisse) is going to be difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I trust the thread titles on N-O for transfer accuracy more than I do any journos these days tbh. Club doesn't let them know anything, there are no scoops. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Neilfarrington Neil Farrington #nufc scouts apparently aware of Virgil van Dijk. Tall, quick 20-year-old Groningen centre-half. Blackburn, Villa and us apparently keeping taps on him. Promising centre half who can also play right back. Played his first U21 for Holland this past november. Very raw, but would be an interesting player in the Vuckic/Abeid mould. but for defense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Can't find much more info about him. but this looks promising (from a PSV forum where they are discussing him as a possible reinforcement): This boy has everything a modern day defender needs: Physically strong Fast Good header of the ball Good long range passes Can move forward and attack if needed Tactical insight I think this guy will be playing in the Premiership a few years from now (even if he dreams of playing for Barcelona one day himself). Mind, this is from October 2011 and there are also quite a few posters who say he will need one or two more seasons at FC Groningen's level before he's ready for the top of the Eredivisie..

Sifu Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I'm liking the sound of that. One thing we could do is, sign him up permanently and then loan him out to FC Groningen/another team in the Dutch League for a season? (Just a thought). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Or loan him to a league where defenders aren't forced to wear clown suits and big shoes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
