Very strange signing considering the way we play. Way too easily overpowered in the middle, especially in a 4-4-2 system.

 

Seems like his game revolves around short passes and quick movement, neither of which Pardew implements in our tactics.

Spoke to a few Ajax fans the other night and they loved him, didn't understand how I could think he was poor. The PL is far too quick for him IMO, and he's too lightweight for CM as today proved.

 

Hopefully he can start to pick it up like Coloccini did after his first season but haven't even saw moments of genius like Colo showed.

 

Still don't know why people get on his back during matches though, wont help him at all.

Reading stuff like this makes me slightly depressed.

I'd like to know what we show to players when we sign them  :lol: Because they always go on about how we play great stuff.

 

What a pile of turd :lol:

He's just adapting to the league, like almost all foreign players need to do, anyone writing him off or calling him s*** is just stupid tbh.

 

True, all we need to do is point to our captain marvel to show we need to give the foreign guys a little more time to bed in.

that was very lucky for us as, imo, if anyone had offered us close to what we paid for him and were prepared to match his wages, he'd have been away. also, does that idea mean we should have kept rozenhal, boumsong, guivarche for longer ?

Don't think that's quite what he's saying

I'm not sure that Unbelievable was questioning the legitimacy of the contrast - more that saying the high-tempo, physical nature in the Prem can be described as 'lightyears away' as in superior. In footballing terms the helter-skelter, up and at 'em football, power-over-patience culture ingrained into our players continually leaves us behind the rest of the world when we go head to head internationally.

 

May be wrong like. I don't think you can deny there's a significant style/cultural difference between football in Eredivisie and the Premier League.

The national team suffers moreso from the success, not the style, of the Premier League.

Disagree. The style of the league is a reflection of our footballing culture and the way we develop players.

Players have been devloped pretty well in the last couple of decades, especially considering the inferior climate.
