Yes, please take any bickering between the history of clubs to the Premiere League Thread.
They haven't even made an offer.
Ottersoep said:Three relatively unknown Eredivisie talents, to be picked up dirt cheap:
1) Ritsu Doan - AM - Groningen ~ 7M
Offensively very gifted. Moves and thinks quickly with the ball. A true playmaker with a great shot. Strong on both feet. Though wildly inconsistent and can disappear for stretches. Value took a bit of a hit with a worse year statistically, but he was every bit as decisive and solid.
Fitting teams: Arsenal, Everton, West Ham, Wolves, Ajax, Leverkussen, Gladbach, Sevilla
2) Michel Vlap - AM - Heerenveen ~ 4M
Tall, lanky, somewhat goofy looking midfielder, but don't let that fool you. Bergkamp-esque player in that he has so much touch in his feet. Only seems to score beautiful goals. Somewhat weak defensively or in battles and can be a bit nonchalant at times, but a true wizard once he has the ball. Very high football IQ - scored 16 goals and added 4 assists in the domestic race for Heerenveen this year.
Fitting teams: Atalanta, Anderlecht, Hoffenheim, Feyenoord, Newcastle, Southampton.
3) Jerdy Schouten - CM/DM - Excelsior ~ 2M
Smart, Frenkie de Jong-like player. Runs a lot and does a lot of defensive work that goes unnoticed. Fills gaps, tackles extremely well. Has some depth in his game as well, but contributing on the stat sheet for an offensive inept Excelsior team is challenging to say the least.
Fitting teams: Italian teams most likely, such as Lazio, Udinese, Fiorentina, or teams such as Feyenoord, Frankfurt, Southampton.
Guys, it's not just the 13 sample size games. In those 13 games, Guendouzi ACTUALLY played in 8.
Yeah in those 13 games where Guendouzi played in part of 8, Arsenal was just about champs.
I’ll settle for him being the best right back in the league.I also liked the Alexander-Arnold best in the league for a few weeks thing. Yeah he might be the best (certainly offensively) right back in the world, it's definitely arguable, but he was never the best player in the league.

I never ever even implied we would be on par without Guendouzi and never said we would be on par for a whole season, you are either ridiculous or just not smart enough to understand what I meant,. I just quoted a stat to show the extreme difference with and without Guendouzi.Brb gonna go find a random starting XI that United used last year that left them undefeated and use it to claim they’re actually better than Liverpool and City if they can just field that lineup consistently.
Makes about as much sense and somehow stretching Arsenal without Guendouzi to the whole season
I also like the "promising U23" Hector Bellerin.
Who's not promising and not U23. He's O24.
Could we please stay on topic? I’m browsing this thread to see if Saliba has finally signed for Spurs - not reading through page after page of trolling.
So much fun reading crap like this. He's so convinced !Is this the transfers thread? Jesus guys move the argument out
I think he will go to Arsenal instead because who on earth would want to play for a club that can't even fill half of their stadium
I'll try to keep this as relevant to the thread as possible. Here are a few larger reasons why a player might want to join Spurs:
- CL club. Recent runners-up.
- Have had a very clear upwards trajectory over the past decade, showing no signs of stopping thanks to a sustainable business model focusing on smart, long-term investments.
- A very good manager that has proven to be great at bringing the best out of his players and developing them.
I’ll settle for him being the best right back in the league.
