StevO Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Letting Joseph Yobo back into the club would be a shocking decision. End of story. As for Drenthe I think that hes a really good player but if he's going to be an absolute tit and make the club look like a joke then he can go. I won't have sleepless nights crying about him leaving and I'm sure we can bring someone in who is just as good. Yobo's contract is up, he wont get a new one. To get a player as good as Drenthe you will need at least £10m in todays market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonButtle Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) you think jarvis is as good as drenthe? I know i got them valued at the same but thats only because Royston seems to be a difficult player who isn't going to get any kind of big money move, he won't ever have a high value because he is so difficult to work with, maybe a wrong valuation for Jarvis, it was only an example off the top of my head. I want to see us making a move for Hoilett, he is a better player than Drenthe, thats who we should be looking at imo.

Romey 1878 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 We've got absolutely no chance of getting Hoillet. None. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonButtle Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 that means nothing I can see what your saying, but i see no reason why we can't go in for him, he will be on a free transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moyes could watch Messi if he wanted to. The reason we have no chance is because he's on a free, meaning much more attractive clubs will be in for him who will offer him much higher wages than we can.

Louis Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 A few Bundesliga clubs have been looking at Hoilett, the league has just signed a tv deal worth 50% more than their existing one so it's safe to say Bundesliga clubs have a few quid sloshing around.

adziom Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hoilett would certainly fill a gap on that right wing for us. Very effective but quite streaky player in my opinion. It's certainly worth looking at, I wouldn't rule out us getting him on a free, most of the top 6 have a player in that position already (Walcott, Valencia, Nasri, Lennon, Sturridge, Henderson.... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn31 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 http://www.grandoldt...lt-for-himself? Heitinga giving a little insight, no details though. I couldn't see him coming back. Not after Moyes banished him from the club. Like I said, he's an incredibly talented and energetic player who could definitely play for us and a lot of other good squads, but he's such a liability off of the pitch and a hot-headed troublemaker. We'll see, but I doubt he'll end up here again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonButtle Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Drenthe is a talented player no doubt, but he is a complete tool and i doubt that his talent will ever be recognised because of his stupidity and cockiness, complete waste of a player, hopefully he will one day sort himself out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blueboy122 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Just Dutch? Ofcourse not. From my experiance of Dutch people they all seem abit mad and eccentric all in a good way I am just suggesting that when Money and fame is thrown at them its easy for them to go off the rails. But I suppose him being dutch is irrelavent because it could/would happen to anyone from any country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes of Sneijder, Robben and van Persie have all had lots of money and celebrity status thrown at them and they seem to have handled it well. I just think that its a mere coincidence that two Dutch players have crashed and burned at our club. If you wanted to say that Dutch people can't handle money and fame then we need to be looking at off-loading Johnny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
