Louis Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 He's supposedly coming to Liverpool tomorrow to start talks. English link: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/everton-transfers-mccarthy-bertrand-bruno-2240925 The Mirror suggests it is a £11m fee (£30m minus £7m for Bertrand and £12m for McCartney) This Dutch link says he was not in the starting eleven for Feyenoord today, but they deny it is because of a possible transfer talks. http://www.ad.nl/ad/nl/5619/Feyenoord/article/detail/3502039/2013/09/01/Koeman-verkiest-Mathijsen-boven-Martins-Indi.dhtml http://uk.soccerway.com/matches/2013/09/01/netherlands/eredivisie/feyenoord-rotterdam-nv/roda-jc/1478375/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 havent the foggiest. SteveE or Holystone (if hes still alive), or any other of our Belgian/Dutch contingent got any insight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBlood81 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Class player. More of a long term replacement for Distin than Baines though imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 He's a young lad who can play center or left. I ran with it yesterday but wasn't sure if there was really any truth behind it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I posted this about him in the Defoe thread: About Martins Indi. His favorite position is centre back, but he's left footed and can also play left back. He's big, strong and really fast. He could be a long-term successor for Sylvain Distin, they're quite similar in their talents on the defensive side of the ball. It would be a shame buying him to have him sat on the bench all year though. Maybe we could get a discount if we loan him back to them for the season so they don't need to hurry getting a replacement in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Sounds like a positive signing. And he's young so I'm all for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I guess it's possible that Baines is going too and that BMI will be competing with Oviedo for the left back spot this season, then move into Distin's spot next year? Otherwise I don't really see the sense in signing a 6th centre back (Distin, Jagielka, Stones, Heitinga, Alcaraz). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I don't really see the sense in signing a 6th centre back (Distin, Jagielka, Stones, Heitinga, Alcaraz). If we're playing 3 cb's we'll need 6 on the basis of 2 players per position throughout the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Blue Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Please the footballing Gods - please, I promise to build several small alters to you. On a more serious note if he does go for say £4 - £5 million hes on about 50k a week so we could then look to get Ince too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Heitinga will go for £2m - £3m tops on the basis of age/contract. Quinn31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoward18 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I think we have more immediate needs than ANOTHER defender. But what do I know... Quinn31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Heitinga will go for £2m - £3m tops on the basis of age/contract. 2m isnt too bad, since hes on 60k a week that would be 3m saved a year Quinn31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 2m isnt too bad, since hes on 60k a week that would be 3m saved a year 1 year left on his contract which we'll have to settle with him due to him not requesting a move.

Louis Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Heitinga wants to go to Turkey, he believes he's too young to return to the Eredivisie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Turkish window is open until the 5th September so even if Heits is at Everton tomorrow he might still go. Edited September 2, 2013 by Peter H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
