Good afternoon.
We’ve been linked with someone I think we ought to go all out to buy. Swoop audaciously for, that sort of thing. PSV winger Dries Mertens is the name in the frame and he ticks more boxes than a YouGov poll addict.
For a start, he’s bi-wingal. Which for those of you struggling, is a word I just made up to describe a player able to play effectively on both wings.Which would be fantastic news for Spurs and less fantastic news for er.. say… Aaron Lennon.
Then there’s the fact that he’s Belgian. Which if you look at nations as if they were race yards, then you have to say that this particular stable is in terrific form. That makes him an international team mate of Jan Vertonghen and if Dries was looking for hints as to if a move to the mighty Tottingham might suit him, then his mate’s success will be impossible for him to ignore.
Isn’t Moussa Dembele Belgian as well? Think so. Two reasons for Mertens to wing it over to Tottenham
Sorry Sid didn’t see your reply
2011-12 season for PSV – 33 apps 21 goals
so far this season 8 apps 4 goals
Yes please…
…yeah but the rule of signing people from the Dutch league is that you completely ignore their goal stats…. see Suarez for one of numerous examples.
Agreed Tony as one of the current top scorers is Jozi Altidore and he isn’t exactly all that… Still, it would keep Azza on his toes, I think his goal this weekend was the first for 9 months or something.
He also tops the division this year so far with 6 assists
Apparently king Comolli expects players from the Dutch league to hit a quarter of their goal tally in the Prem. 5-6 goals isn’t so hot…
