The case for the defence...

Holgate and Godfrey...never in a million years good enough for this club.

Why?

Because having one of them as 5th choice is a waste of a sellable asset when we could do with the money to build elsewhere. Also Holgate annoys me.

I dont see him making it from what Ive seen, tbh. Imagine sending him to the sloth-like Dutch league. That tells its own story.

After he leads PSV to European glory, he will come back and do the same at Everton.

His team sits on the very top.

Marcel Brands has done it again.

On the top of a Dutch dung heap.

Means nothing.

Yeah, imagine sending a 20 year old defender out on loan to gain experience in an attack focused league while also playing in Europe rather than riding the pine behind a couple experienced 30 year olds. The horror.

I posted a chart a few weeks back that showed that The Dutch League was the most similar in style to The Premier League, cant find it now.

Pace is everything in the PL. Sending him there to defend if we really want him back is puzzling to say the least. I think he's gone and Lampard is hoping for a fee, tbh.

Similar in pace? Distance covered? That's be a better comparison.

Yes.

I was quite shocked, its a shame I cant find it now, but I posted it on here.

Well that’s both surprising and interesting. Would’ve thought maybe France or Germany.
