Looks really good (pace, freekick taking, passing) whenever i've seen him. Not sure about his defensive qualities, though?

Very good signing IMO, but I'm no scout

IH: "I thought Jonny and Wilf were brilliant but it took a 39 year old master to watch the ball and keep his eye on it to finish it".

seem to remember him coping with zaha very well when we played them this season.

if we got him for 3m would be a very solid signing.

Personally I don't think we should be trying to fill the squad with a load of untested players. We need quality, proven players which have a far better chance of improving the squad. JMac had a number of seasons with Wigan and Cabaye's pedigree speaks for itself. Mutch, Lee and Sakho have played less and have as yet failed to produce as much. I know there are exceptions to the rule but the percentages are against them.

I am really undecided with this transfer. Is Van Aanholt better than Pape Souare? No. Will Van aanholt get any game time. No. He will most likely not play but maybe if they signed someone that's younger and at a Championship or a League One team when the Left Back is 19 years old. Then he will develop and train with players better which will help him then when Souare gets older then we can play a great new exciting Left Back.

Good player but a filthy animal. Every game I've seen him play in he's involved in some kind of controversial, reckless challenge. So he and Souré can cover for each other during their respective bans.
