True enough. I'm mostly curious whether we're going to go for quantity or quality, given that we need both. I wouldn't be terribly enthused about replacing Lallana with Immers, but if he's relatively cheap (and I don't know how cheap, given that he just signed a new deal last month) he may be one of many.
Not quite sure. His name is John van Zweden, a big ADO Den Haag fan and sponsor, Immers is a Den Haag fan favourite/legend, so perhaps there is some link?
Probably bad taste to chant "Koeman Koooeman, Koeman Koooeman, Koeman Koooeman Kooooeman" to I'm the Leader of the Gang by Gary Glitter, isn't it
Immers does not really fit our young profile or better than we have or English. Central defenders such as de Vrij, Martin Indi or the Celtic guy however, are at least young and better than we have. Pelle is a necessary replacement for Rickie and proven strikers tend to be mid late twenties. Just don't want to see too many coming in and blocking the academy graduates.
Makes him a bit more expensive, mainly. Before he signed it I believe that he was entering the final year of his deal.
just keep him away form penalties [video=youtube;Oj-lAsMxbXg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj-lAsMxbXg[/video]
Bugger..! You've just made me think of Rickie again. We'll never know whether he would have troubled Matty's 47/48. Unlikely, I know, but 34/34 just seems unfinished business to me.
