It's as if they've just discovered French people play football and are actually quite good at it.

Jean Michel Ferri started it all.

Bitters reached an agreement with Twente about Leroy Fer for a reported 10 million euros. Good deal if true, I like him, well, liked him.

I hear he's fairly highly rated alongside Strootman as two of the better young Dutch CMs

Sell Coates ffs

Fer is very Yaya Touré/Fellaini like. Tall strong box to box player. Will remain to be seen if he can bring that in the Premier League, but I think eventually he should be able to.

Have trouble giving him away.

how much did he cost us again ?

We could do with a player like that. Looks like good business by Everton then?

Spuds agree to bring in Holtby this window according to BBC

Balotelli is off to AC Milan. Gonna miss Mario. By far the most entertaining character in the league in years!

Wait until you see Phillipe Coutinho

Break Shea going to Stoke, too bad, their style of football will make him worthless to the US national team.

Yeah saw that. Disappointing from a national team perspective as he's a creative winger who likes to run at players. Very expressive. But not really your typical Stoke player.

Replacing Penant?

They're not really the same though. Pennant has some decent pace about him, whereas Shea has never struck me as being quick. He's tall though for winger, like 6'3 or something.

Makes sense now.

I guess Stoke is trying to build a team so tall that no one will be able to see over them.

He looked really promising a couple years back but hasn't really impressed much as of late, maybe I've missed it but seems that his growth has stunted a bit.

Looks like the Fer deal has hit a snag because of his medical showing up a problem and the blushite want to renogiate
