Gone to Everton on loan so we could have got him too. I wonder if they were shrude enough to put a fixed fee into the deal? He is........ 1. a pure left sided player who can play left back or left wing, with electric pace. 2. had the potential to play for Real Madrid, but just been forced out by big money players. 3. 24 with his whole career ahead of him. 4. Not African so we would have had him all season. 5. Dutch, so he speaks the language. I even have high hopes for Santon that the mags have signed. Its been such a long time since we've had a natural left back at the club and I find it outrageous that Danny Collins has not been replaced by this time. We will now lack balance again till at least the new year. Not too concerned as everyone else seems to be about the left winger situation. Sess just plays there, no big deal. He will cut inside and offer a goal threat too. Not delighted about our new striker, but at least he is on loan and not a permanent signing. He will only stay if he sets the world alight so we will be happy to take him. But Drenthe.......................... could have been the signing of the season for us!
