ADutchSaint Posted 8 May, 2017 Share Posted 8 May, 2017 If we are talking centre midfielders I know it is a oldie but Feyanoord should win the Eredevise today and Tonny Vilhena has been excellent this season and at 22yrs old he could be ready but I don't know if his mums cancer is in remission which is what has kept him in rotterdam the last few years, he's on a new contract but we all know how that works. His mother passed away a few months ago. Dont think Vilhena will be a good fit tho in the EPL, he will struggle a lot with the pace and also he's a type of player we dont really need. I would rather see Pröpper or Van Ginkel from PSV instead of Vilhena. See Ziyech has been rated the best player in the Eredevise for this year by whoscored, another we missed out on, a faster younger version of tadic Ziyech is a totally different player from Tadic, Ziyech is a proper attacking midfielder where Tadic is a winger. I would have liked to see Ziyech at Southampton but thats not going to happen anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRE-EMPTING THIS FORUM: Can we avoid comparison to Gaston Ramirez because he has the same name, or Juanmi because he came from the same club...? Lets instead judge a player on his own merits rather than irrelevant & flawed comparison to another player. off to Everton apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint1977 Posted 8 May, 2017 Share Posted 8 May, 2017 And rightly so - he's a very good player. I'd like to see Jason McCarthy as back up too. Would be a huge risk to sell Cedric and have this guy as first choice - not that I think it'll happen. He may be a good player but he's only just back from a very serious injury and has only a few minutes in this league as a cameo. If Bertrand was replaced with McQueen on the other side, there would be a strong whiff of asset stripping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prob won't go past 10 goals in his first year in the Prem but after he's familiar with the league, who knows.... If we sign him for £7m, he'll be worth £30m two seasons down the line.

Ok I am in cos he is fun to watch anyway #ziyechwatch and I can go to the pre-season friendlies here in Amsterdam to give my scouting reports :-) And here are some links to him from last month - http://://fr.starafrica.com/football/articles/mercato-southampton-insiste-pour-hakim-ziyech/ - This is my favourite, says he is our priority signing for the summer :-) http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/04/04/with-dusan-tadic-toiling-should-southampton-challenge-for-hakim/ http://://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2017/04/214237/snubbed-renard-hakim-ziyech-courted-english-clubs My straws are being fully clutched Edited 9 May, 2017 by Convict Colony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting he looks like a hard and fast type runner who is physical and can score unlike tadic, what can you tell us about him ? I only saw him twice so I cant' say a lot about him but he's indeed powerful and fast and he LOVES to dribble. His passing ability is not the best though. He's not a finish product yet but he could become a quite good player with a manager who knows how to work with young players. His 4 goals this season were all scored between september and november and the rest of the season was a bit more complicated for him but he's a regular starter in a French midtable team (Guingamp) at only 20yo. Also, he's a French U21 international. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the midfielders Ajax has i rather see Ziyech or Van de Beek, last one will become a absolute top notch player.

Mikey88 Posted 14 May, 2017 Share Posted 14 May, 2017 If we are getting rid of a couple of strikers, I would try and get in Gignac from Tigres.
