Really hope we can pull this off:- Clasie is considered one of the best talents in the Eredivisie, but it appears as if his future lies away from the Netherlands following transfer interest from the Premier League. Southampton have long been linked with a move for the 23-year-old midfielder, as per the Star, and now Sunderland look to have shown an interest in him, according to SoccerNews. Having recently appointed Dutch manager Dick Advocaat on a full-time basis, he has been promised a large transfer budget to improve his playing squad, and according to the report Clasie could be a target to improve his midfield, and show off his ambition. Clasie is ken on securing a move away from Feyenoord this summer, opening the door for a potential transfer. A full Dutch international, he is sure to choose a transfer that guarantees him consistent playing time at a good level, and the Saints have the advantage in being able to offer him Europa League football next term. The young midfielder has made 155 appearances for Feyenoord, scoring eight goals and registering 24 assists. A playmaker who is able to play anywhere through the centre of the midfield, he was a surprise inclusion in Louis van Gaal’s Netherlands squad for the 2014 World Cup, taking his total number of appearances for his country up to 11.
Looks like he's just got out of detention he's that young. Still would like a physically imposing midfielder with him alongside.
Ball retention mate, simple as that, can give it quick or hold it. All of our CM's, pretty much since Hutch, have just wanted rid of the ball. He'd be a smashing signing.
And you've had a life of bullying off your mams sisters husband so who gives a feck of your opinion you Geordie tw@t!!
It's not so much size, it's the ability to keep the ball under another kind of pressure at a different kind of tempo. Cabella and Anita would be able to tell you all about it.
If she's a Geordie she'll have a face a dog wouldn't lick and a fanny like the Tyne tunnel so tell her I said feck off !
Well done! A new member and you're trying to pacify the red and whites. I've been here years and I reckon I'm starting to be accepted by one or two of them.
