I'd have him in a flash, but I've only seen him in the ESPN Eredisivie highlights rather than full matches.

Not in direct reference to that piece in the Mirror, but i did hear that Strootman is apparently considering a possible move to us after the Euros.
Whether there's anything genuine behind it, we'll find out in a few weeks.

The only way anybody comes to us after the Euros is if they had a bad summer.

if he is a defensive mid then please why not, also get another defensive mid so it allows carrick/scholes to rotate as the deep lying playmakers, whilst these guys win back possesion

He's more box to box than just a DM, he can not only tackle but he can surge forward and score goals too.
I'd love a player like him to sit next to Carrick after Scholes hangs up his boots. Those two, with Kagawa in front of them and a front three consisting of Rooney and two wingers would be juiiicy.

I read somewhere that the reason we were considering bringing Strootman in is that he'd be the type of midfielder who would put in foot in for us. He can tackle as Jay is refering to, and there is more to his game etc.
We'll see.

well if we really could afford kagawa and hazard then really with the money we would have used to get hazard we can get this guy and another dm and probably have change. with the sales of berba, anderson and macheda plus that change we can afford a fullback if need be.

I've liked the look of him as a player the times i've seen him for PSV and Holland. Has a good left foot, a bit of pace for a central midfielder and likes to support the attack - think Anderson charging forward but being able to deliver a pass that doesn't hit a season ticket holder in the upper tier of the North Stand!
I can see him being part of the foundation of the Dutch midfield for years to come. Our business with PSV has been pretty successful in the past also. Only issue is that he hasn't been at PSV that long so they may be reluctant to sell so soon and he may be reluctant to move so soon. Even though he hasn't been there that long he is their captain which suggests he has some character to him which also wouldn't hurt our midfield.

Yeah, we might have a bit of a hard time trying to prise Strootman away from PSV.

I think it's always a risk signing from the Dutch league because the opposition they come against are generally pretty weak. But I'd take this guy in a heartbeat. Seems to possess natural class and has a bit of bite to him which is exactly what we need.

Not sure if it was Jay or someone else who mentioned that he'd signed a new contract only to get his prices high when i bought it up. This is if happening is only after euros i suspect.
