Davy Propper: Record midfield signing from PSV - OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED

lizard said:

I remember thinking he looked a decent signing at the time to be honest.
As with every signing you never fully know how well it's going to play out, though have a feeling with both Propper and Gross we have done very very well.

Again.

Let's face it, our recruitment team must be one of the best in the business. We have finished in the top 6 of the Championship in 4 of the last 5 seasons, eventually going up - the absolute model of consistency. Sure, others have gone up and stayed up, but they've gambled to do so and it's paid off. For every Palace and Bournemouth there are several more clubs where overpaying just hasn't worked - notably Forest, Sheff Weds, Wolves and a fair few others.

We really haven't overpaid for anybody since we got to the Amex, with the possible exception of Craig MacKail-Smith, and even then there were others prepared to pay what we did.

I have to say that that Tweet thingy is very disappointing. He says that he "thinks" he's ready.

Poor, very poor

On this evidence alone I can just tell he's clearly not PremierSHIP material. Get rid I say and be glad we dodged a bullet.

a) You have absolutely no idea whether or not that is true
b) Even if it is, are you seriously arguing that overall we have paid salaries well above market rates?

Here's some clips of him at Vitesse. Judging by the video, It looks like Hughton has signed a player well above the standard our relegation rivals having been splashing out on e.g. Tom Ince. This looks almost guaranteed to be a great signing. Money very well spent.

Meant manu huge fee. And if your argument is you don't know - then you also don't know how much we wasted on countless players.

Just been chatting to a couple of Dutch people around the pool, with strawberry daqiarry in hand :safeway::safeway::safeway: and he was saying that the player had played for the national side a few tines , and was an ok player, but they didn't like PSV as he was a feyernoord fan, his gorgeous looking wife is an feisty Ajax fan.

They thought he is a bit injury prone but plays the game the Dutch way, so expect a lot of nice short passing games

No, I meant you.
Your 'Huddersfield are in for him' is far, far, less tedious than the Triggar's 'wit'.

I appreciate I'm not saying anything we don't already know, but singing Mr Propper and those highlights means now we really are crying out for a better Baldock.

How many of those goals/chances were sliding the ball through into the path of the on rushing #9.

Worth noting that according to PSV fans he was actually in poor form last season (all the clips are from last season), if he looks that good from a poor season, I can't wait to see how hughton gets him playing.
