Didn't Heitinga leave a couple of seasons ago? Emmanuelson's good though, surely not long for him.

Heitinga played pre season for Ajax against Arsenal

Oh, guess im thinking of someone else then. Im surprised he's still there. I always thought he was one of the top young players of this generations Ajax youth.

Were you thinking of Nigel De Jong?Went for quite cheap to Hamburg,woulda liked him at Utd.Hamburg has got two great Dutch players for cheap,not sure why they move there tho Hamburg is an average team.

Footballing environment in Germany is better than in Holland. For example, van der Vaart used to get horrific hooligan abuse, incl. death threat letters and campaigns against his wife.

 

[Shamikebab]

Thats the one, Ajax have so many talented exports its easy to get confused

 

[Nzyme]

Just wondering today as i ponder who Boro could bring in why no premiership team has thought about bringing Marlon King in ?

Surely he'd be fairly cheap and worth a punt even jsut as back up ?

Is Holland really that bad for Football?Do most players get hooligan abuse or the big team players that don't always perform?

Tomorrow's Mail will be reporting that Alves has been taken out of Sevilla's squad for there CL qualifier so he isn't cup tied for a move to Chelsea.

Aparentely United and Madrid are after him as well?

 

[JohnnyG]

Alves said himself that he wants to join Chelsea, I think the claimed interest from other clubs is just to bump his price higher

Boro agree fee for Mido. Lets not hope its 7.5m, although I'm worried Southgate might have been pressured into doing it due to lack of players coming to Boro.

 

[NokkonWud]

That's the only reason it would be so high. He's waited and waited and in the end had to take someone. HE should be looking at another one too, as has been mentioned, Marlon King would be a good signing.

I'd say King would be good but after his medocre performances for Leeds it's hard to say that.

mido. can he head ? we desperately need someone at the front whos good in the air

One of the best in the air. Not so great on the ground though and he's a lazy %&@&£$! He'll be awesome for your first few games as he tries hard but it's all down hill from there, at least that's what happened at Spurs.

Injury prone too!

I hope Spurs did get the £7.5m, we get held to ransom ALL the time, about time we played hard ball

Mido should do well, he thrives on playing and when he's on form he can be brilliant. I presume he will be first choice since Viduka left?

Boro wouldn't pay 7.5 mill for a sub so i guess he'll be first choice with Yak. Tuncay on the right.

£6.8 m but the £0.8m is in addons

£6m was about to be agreed then sunderland bumped it up but Mido told suprs he wanted the boro move so they compromised at £6.8m.

I can see him being an exact replacment for Viduka

A mercenary who is great when he wants tobe, can win you match but can also just not give a damn and unsettle a dressing room.

Hopefully we will bring in a right-sided midfielder so we can see Tuncay play more centrally as i feel hes wasted out wide
