Gallowgate Toon Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 i would like him in, regardless of whether owen or Martins stays, he is a talent and i want sam to buy some young players too. At the moment he seems interested in older players and i think we need some more young talent for the squad, but not for the first team. Rigters and drenthe in and we shall have a very good squad that has fantastic potential with the likes of Krul, Milner, Martins, Edgar, Taylor, LuaLua, Carroll and to an extent players like Barton. I havent seen much of Rigters but ive seen Drenthe play a bit. However we do need other buys first like a proper LB and CB and others, but Rigters and Drenthe would be brilliant if we could get them.

What makes you think he'll come here to warm our bench if he can continue to be a first team player for Feyenoord or move to Europe's finest as a squad player..?

What makes you think he'll come here to warm our bench if he can continue to be a first team player for Feyenoord or move to Europe's finest as a squad player..? he wont go to Chelsea to do absolutely fuck all, not many youngsters go anywhere near them now due to the lack of first team oppurtunities. Real Madrid i doubt it, im sure ive heard he wants the premiership and so far ive heard no news that Chelsea are after him anyway or Real. Plus why would he stay at Feyenoord they have had a very poor season, are in a much poorer league and arent in Europe i dont think. To be fair neither are we but if i had the choice the Premiership beats the Evredisie. Also he wouldnt exactly be warming our bench, Zoggy is going and Duff is injured, there is no one else.

Trust me, if he has the pick of going to these clubs and staying with his beloved Feyenoord, there is no way he will consider coming to us unless it is for first team football, and even then.. Your assesment of Feyenoord is superficially correct, but they have strenghtened significantly (Makaay, Van Bronkhorst and others..) and could now be considered outsiders for the title.. They are indeed in a very similar situation to us. Moving here would be moving sideways, moving here for a squad player status would be a step backwards, especially as he is Feyenoord through and through.. Trust me, no chance in hell unless we offer him first team football at first team wages.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 i see your point. i never knew he was so Feyenord crazy but he would be one hell of a talent to have here. No offence even with Makaay and Van Bronkhorst i dont think Feyenord will have a better squad than us by the end of the summer. Perhaps the bigger stage can prize him away from his beloved team, its happened before, Rooney etc... Who else is in holland is coming through the ranks that you rate???

Unbelievable Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I don't think Feyenoord will have a team to compete with Newcastle next season, but they should be able to compete in the Eredivisie.

KaKa Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 The Times: Norwich City have had an offer for Maceo Rigters turned down by NAC Breda, the Dutch club. The forward has also been the subject of an approach from Celtic. Rangers, Newcastle United and Bolton Wanderers have all expressed an interest in the 23-year-old Rigters. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article2013210.ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Not sure wheather anyone has posted this,but i was reading in the Daily Mirror just now that Blackburn are set to sign him for £450k.
