Also excited by the probable capture of Ryan Babel from Ajax...great young player whos actually ready now. Buying talented 16/17 year olds is fine if they work out, but glad to see 1st team players being acquired finally.
Yeah. I'm excited about this one. Again, though, caveat emptor. He's one, relatively inexperienced, unaccustomed to the EPL. 13.5m is a lot of money to spend with these unknowns hanging over, but I guess it's the going rate. Players from the Eredivisie tend to transfer success more consistently to the EPL than players from other leagues - although not always. Mateja Kezman, lest we forget.
