Once swore blind for about 2 hours in GCSE maths that Dejan Stankovic had moved to AC Milan.

Had a mate years back who insisted he'd heard somewhere that Newcastle were going to sign Marco Negri from Rangers, kept this up for days until we got the beers in and switched Champ Man on and realised that the last time we'd played it (pissed of course) he'd signed him and that's why he had this thought in his head!

There's a lot of driving runs from midfield (against well beaten opposition), but only 2 tackles, and those were more give-aways that strong ball winning tackles. Does anyone actually know if this lad's got something defensive about him, or if he's any good against good opposition, or if he can play in front of his own box?

wk every proper account i have read about this guy does not describe him as a tackler at all, just a mobile midfielder. no mentioned this name before the papers and youtube clips showed up. dont see him as what we need although a good player.

Yeah. I doubt many of us have watched him. We're just so desperate for a tough tackling midfielder that we'll cling on to any name linked with us. I'm not saying he isn't good or can't tackle, but we don't really have much to go on.

He plays primarily as a defensive midfielder, that in itself should tell you he can tackle. Although I don't keep an eye on the Dutch league at all, the clips I've seen of him tells me he's able to make crunching challenges, he's the captain of PSV at 22 (WE LACK LEADERSHIP - that should tell you he's not afraid of grabbing the team by the balls), after just one season at the club and he's got great vision too. i.e. a ball playing midfielder who can tackle and maraud forward at times, with a cannon of a shot, for probably less than 20 million? like a glove? 6 goals and 17 assists this season for PSV in 49 appearacnes (only subbed off 9 times). As someone mentioned in another thread, sure Tiote can tackle, but he's fairly restricted going forward. We don't just want someone who can tackle, we want someone who can tackle, then start us off going forward at times. A deep-lying regista who can tackle, so to speak. Otherwise spending 20 million on Tiote that'll not be utilized all the time seems a waste. More importantly, we need someone to set an example of going out and getting the ball back when we've lost it. Strootman is a leader, he's young, tall, skillful and strong on the ball - for me he's the ideal player to complete the summer. This guy next to Carrick with Kagawa in front of them Saw on the United community someone saying he's got a 15 million release clause btw.

i have heard dutch football experts say exactly what ez and ginger are saying, that he's nothing like roy keane, he's not a great tackler and they seriously doubt he's ready to play for United.
i've never seen him so can neither confirm nor deny

Good thing about him not get a look in at the Euros is that his price tag won't sky rocket I suppose!
