    To be in that euro21's team must mean he is pretty good.

    Never heard of this kid but my understanding is he is better than Oblak and Donnaruma combined.

    Yeah, that's a big shout that. Some serious players in that selection.

    Considering Restes was in that tournament and the hype behind him, that’s enough for me alone.

    I get that, but we are losing too many for my liking, Neil should be the last main player out the door for me. Keep that squad cohesion. We will be reliant on these lads this season at some point. Just my opinion of course.

    It’s almost as if our recruitment team know what they’re doing.

    I’d prefer to keep him for a number of reasons but seems the contract situation is causing consternation on both sides

    Here’s the write up


    GK: Robin Roefs (2002, NEC Nijmegen)
    The way I like to assess goalkeepers is with my made-up Makes It Look Easy™ test. Think of the best goalkeepers in the world - Alisson, Neuer, and the like - and consider how simple they make goalkeeping look. Their routine catch is another’s spectacular save; they never look flustered.

    Robin Roefs makes the difficult look easy. Bar the couple of goals he let in against Finland in the tournament opener, the 22-year-old was impressively assured in everything he did. His handling was really clean, particularly the scoops on those bobbly shots; his shuffling footwork was an outstanding detail of his game; he was quick to close angles and spread himself big and assertive catches on crosses into the box took pressure off his defenders. The techniques were textbook.

    What about his ability on the ball? That was also assured. He moved it quickly and securely in build-up off both feet, while his launched kicks had an effortless height and range to them which gave his team an extra second or two to squeeze up the pitch.

    His best performance was probably the semi-final against England. Harvey Elliott scored two but would’ve had four were it not for Roefs, who made a handful of sprawling saves in the first half that kept the Netherlands in with a chance. It capped an eye-catching tournament performance from a very promising goalkeeper.

    That’s good to hear. It’s important that we’re seen to try hard to keep him. If he chooses to leave after that then we’ve done all we can do.

    Ok....so,assuming Xhaka and Roefs are done deals...a big,strong,pacy CB and a front line predator, who can get goals anywhere across the front line,and I will think we'll be done and ready.

    Fair play to you. I used to be obsessed with the Dutch league and would go over and watch Vitesse Arnhem frequently. Never bothered with it for years now, though.

    We need 2 centre halfs for me, another winger, a striker and possibly right back
