I agree we would be taking a chance on VVD, especially in defence. I find it curious that most of the video footage of him is around the opponents box and none really show him making a last ditch tackle in his own box. Groningen don't exactly have a great defensive record this season. I know its...

Good point. Bloody TLA's! Anyway why not get VDV in as well as VVD? Aspinall will really throw a wobbly.

While I hope the VDV deal gets sorted asap I wonder if it might go quiet today from the Albion's perspective? Groningen are shouting all over the media whereas we normally like to do our business more discretely, especially when we close in on a signing. OK it's old news that we are seriously...

Quite, especially as we have allegedly already spent £2m in the last week and are still trying to keep a lid on our debts. I sense the shrewd hand of our poker playing Chairman at work here. Groningen are trying to massively talk up the value of their man but Tony won't blink first. He...

I tend to agree that a decent Prem CB ought to have the experience, judgement and timing to overcome their lack of pace. Could be a good time to bring in another wise head. However even the likes of Rio Ferdinand have had a few nightmares, especially against pace. Unfortunately the sort of...

Yes, Gus had nothing better to on Sunday until NSC suggested he go to Holland to watch a footie match. At least this is one transfer story that has substance to it - although I fear there's still a good chance we might get gazumped by Ajax or a Prem club if it descends into a bidding war. It...

I see that Groningen are playing today - I wonder if Gus has popped over there, armed with a copy of yesterdays match video to whet VdV's appetite for life at The Amex?

I agree - it isn't just the transfer deadline that should be focussing the mind. We need to start getting 3 points out of most games from here and can't afford any silly lapses at the back especially from a makeshift CB. I would love to see VdV signed quickly or at worst an experienced...

I know some punters on here don't get too excited at signing defenders but I think we need to improve the quality of our central defence and this Dutch guy might be a big step in the right direction. Yes the stats show that we have a good defence for the middle / top third of the Championship...
