Leroy Fer

[broders]

I can't tell you how much I want him to opt for 'LEROY' on the back of his shirt. I'd collapse in happiness.

Great signing! Is he Ferocious in the mid?

 

[Dutch Toffee]

Nope, Twente's 3rd best player. Dusan Tadic and Nacer Chadli are in my opinion better. But different positions, so you can't compare it. He is the 2nd best central midfielder from Holland. Kevin Strootman is a little bit better, but he must cost around 18 million pounds.

That's just down to how you define 'better' I guess. Chadli and Tadic are much more impact players. Technical very good, but Fer is (well was) the engine of the Twente team. Very intelligent player with time on his side. Will only get better playing in a more demanding league.

Welcome to GOT btw.

Yeah think you'll get fourth, as long as Feyenoord finish above you that is...

I think Feyenoord wil get 5th. We have a better squad than Feyenoord. But Feyenoord is difficult to beat at home. They have a great stadium and the best supporters in Holland. I think Psv will be the champion, Ajax 2nd, Twente 3rd and Vitesse 4th.

All guesswork but I'd like to see him played in between Felli and Gibson. Felli up there with Jelavic and Gibson in front of the back four. The three could easily cover for each other in every position. Ideally, I'd like to see Felli come back into midfield at some point, but Fer looks boss when he's got license to be everywhere. He could end up being a boss AM, like. He can play a through ball and he can certainly slot.

He does look good from what I've seen of him but I'd have thought that Moyes would have brought in a specialist No. 10 or a specialist No. 4 rather than another No. 8.

You're right. Fer is a great midfielder, a great box-to box player, but you can't compare Chadli and Tadic to Fer. Fer is one of the best in his kind of playing football. Also he is just 23 years old, so he can improve a lot.

Going off his nickname yes, which is all the vast majority have to go off...

No problem, i'm from Holland, but i love Everton. Also have a jersey of them And because of players like Royston Drenthe and Johnny Heitinga

Hes no Fernandes lads;

Sky Sports understands that Queens Park Rangers have enquired as to the availability of Besiktas midfielder Manuel Fernandes. Harry Redknapp worked with Fernandes during his time at Portsmouth, and the Portugal international has also spent time in England on loan at Everton.

Feyenoord don't have enough strikers at the moment, relying too much on Pelle and Immers

Apparently...

Why is swanseas ballboy holding onto his arm ?

 

[billycopper]

We lack in central midfield. This gives us that extra bit of quality (hopefully) squad depth, with a few more goals from midfield thrown in.

With this lad in the middle of the park, maybe we wouldn't suffer there as Fellaini is pushed forwards and vice versa.

Maybe Moyes is thinking that he'll rotate Fer and Fellaini during matches? He has spoken a lot about us lacking in the final third though and I was expecting more of a Sigurdsson/Silva/Santi Cazorla rather than a Dembele/Yaya.
