Or just planning ahead for Romeus inevitable decline (isn't he 30 now?) Romeu is 29 years old, he is in his prime. He shouldn't be on the decline yet. Wellington is 9 months older than Romeu, so not a long term replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea about our interest anymore but I do look out for Veerman here as am in NL and he is defo a player, he's sort of a frenkie de jong type if that helps. Think Heerenveen need to sell in the summer so the figure I saw being aired was 12.5mil. Defo a player to keep an eye on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the Eredivisie is in the second bracket when it comes to league tiers I would assume it would be a close one, but still something to consider.

I doubt thats the real number. Despite furlough the accounting period in question is not a normal one and there was more negative impact on income than expenditure. It is not a reflection of the real situation now and so I would think your point is unfounded. No concern over these numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn’t Joey Veerman with those stats, that was Henk Veerman (29 year old striker from Heerenveen). IMO Joey Veerman (22 years old, only played 23 games in the Eredivisie so far) isn’t the kind of player we should look at. He hasn’t impressed at Heerenveen and if he was any decent, Ajax or PSV would be all over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Johnson Posted 13 January, 2021 Share Posted 13 January, 2021 Think we need to be realistic here. We've made a massive loss, we're continuing to lose revenue every game we play behind close doors, we're also achieving above expectations, there's no need for us to purchase in January. I expect and indeed hope that we have no in or out goings this month. Here's hoping we achieve something of note this season as I think it's almost inevitable we're going to have to sell in the summer with Ings\Prowse the most likely to leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convict Colony Posted 13 January, 2021 Share Posted 13 January, 2021 Wonder if this will help reset the whole player salary expectations. We post we have "booked" losses of this size so how does Ings agent try and wring more money out of us above what we are offering and spin it positively? As other clubs release their accounts will those players coming off contract or up for renewal realise they can't demand what they thought due very very few clubs willing to spend it. Wonder how Everton and West Ham's accounts will look if Man U and Spurs post large losses as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 Not really relevant but if anyone is interested it's the De Klassieker here tomorrow Ajax v Feynoord who are 1/2 in the league as well, should be a excellent derby. Going for Feynoord as been to a few games last year and their fans even when we played them in pre-season are excellent. Berghuis is their best player, Tadic should be on show for Ajax I think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early clips make him look pretty poor, I have to say. but there's one or two nice flashes of skill as you go on and some good longer balls out wide. He makes a fair few interceptions, showing good anticipation, but mostly it just bad passing by opponents. I'd like to see more of how he does when under a bit more pressure. Most of the clips show him having hours of time. He looks pretty quick across the ground and is willing to go to ground to make a tackle, but I get the feeling he doesn't work quite hard enough to get the right side and maybe even does the bare minimum because he has the recovery speed - he's a bit casual, possibly, and could maybe do more. Looks comfortable on the ball, but one footed. Doesn't dribble and show much, if anything going forward. Bit of a meh for me, but that's just on this video, nothing else.

I was wondering if Bayern move might be `agent placed' to increase his bargaining position. Good point about value though Williams signed a new deal with United last year so will be on a `healthy' amount - I read £40k+ a week I think - which is not to be sniffed at if he is second choice. Bertie's new deal might be key here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
