The Johnny 'Colossus' Heitinga Appreciation Thread

Robert Jarvis · October 6, 2010

Get a good price and go for Shawcross or even Cahill. Not that desperate to keep him.

Be a big loss I think. Class player, reckon he's already unsettled though.

I didn't know Moyes' interest in Dzeko was genuine. We wouldn't have a chance would we?

we'd have no chance of dzeko - not a hope in hell!

sorry to bring you back to earth but they turned down a £40m offer by City (according to rumours) and the likes of Real Madrid are said to be interested.

I'd bloody love it to happen but i cannot see it happening

more likely grafite who we were rumoured to be getting on transfer deadline day.

grafite plus cash for johnny is a possibility

It seems he doesnt want to be here, that is if you believe the rumours. So i dont care if he leaves, as long as we get 15mil + for him.

I am onboard for a deal like this. Heitinga doesn't seem to be settling in. If clubs are willing to pay a premium for him because he is a world cup finalist then perhaps we should take advantage of it.

agreed.
we can only dream about Dzeko sadly.

He can't be happy sitting on the bench, it's exactly the same situation for him as at Atletico. We might make a profit on him at least.

what's these rumours then?

any idea why johnny ain't getting a sniff. does moyes think he is crap?

Somethings off between Moyes and Heitinger... wouldn't be surprised to see him go if the price is right. Clears room for Rodwell to eventually take over for Distin in a year at CB.

Jack Rodwell is not a CB.

GIMME DZEKO NOW!!!

I love the Heit as a player but clearly as a person he's a lil bit wack. Thinks he's bigger than the club. Would love to keep a happy Heitinga here anyday though. I mean the other guy as a Z after a D in his name! What's all that about? I want some exotic sounding names in our team. Di Maria would be perfect.

Toffees_USA · October 6, 2010

dont really care if johnny leaves as long as we have a proper replacement in the wings.

samba, shawcross, cahill (good shout whoever said it)

hangeland would be ace too
