The Johnny 'Colossus' Heitinga Appreciation Thread

[DualityNSNO]

Err...and whose fault is it that we're not playing in Europe Johnny???? Hmmmm???

Hardly only his, surely?

 

[Dutch Toffee]

I'd hate to see him go. On his day, easily one of our top players. When he's not on his day, he's still one of our top players.

Sorry, but don't agree with that. If he's fully focussed, he can be a good addittion to thne squad. Headless chicken most of the time. Couldn't hold down a starting place at Atletico and now fails to do that at Everton. Take a look in that mirror for once Johnny, you might get a reality check.

Make up you friggin mind Johnny first were great, then were not. The lad will never be happy at any club he's not a starter in a team not playing in Europe so good like finding a good team better then us were you will be a starter at and be Europe regulars. Quite frankly i dont care if he goes anymore.

I don't think you should read too much in to interview answer quotes without seeing the questions. I think Johnny is ace as long as he plays for us.

the guys a dick he didnt exactly set the prem alight last year did he i know he wasnt on his own but im sick of listening to him , he wants out get shut end of !!!!!!

 

[ijjysmith]

Oh dear Johnny.

£8m please.

 

[Kevinnit]

I would hope that EVERY Everton player is annoyed/frustrated that they're watching European football on the box and not playing in the Champs/Europa League, and, wants to aspire to playing in those competitions.

Its a case of 'never go against the family ' even if it makes sense

*Awaits * "I am happy here and will do my best for the club" line .

His opinions change more than my daughter changes her boyfriend!!

 

[BiggyRat]

Hardly only his, surely?

Naturally, but he's part of a team that didn't qualify for Europe. The inference is that he'd rather go to a side that is already there. Perhaps the "getting there" part is beyond him?

 

[Papa Shango]

We have to sell him. He clearly doesn't respect or rate Moyes. We should offer him around Europe for £8m and be done with it. He's no way as good as Jagielka and despite being bought mainly for his utility capabilities he hates being moved around. I do find it interesting though, that he doesn't rate Moyes, which I believe to be the case big time. Sell him!

Where does is say he doesnt rate or respect Moyes?? Unless i am missing something it seems like you are just speculating there.

Personally I think hes better than Jagielka but there we go, opinions and all that.

I'm surprised Arsenal haven't come in for Heitinga. I'd have thought he was exactly what they needed at the moment, a world class defender who's not afraid to stick the boot in, but can still pass a ball, and wouldn't cost them the earth, either, which is usually the sticking point with old Arsene.

Nice one BT,the Ajax bit was published elsewhere yesterday morning.
These Johnny 'press releases' can be odd regarding context and date.
I do hope he is having a Baines settling in period though,otherwise jog on Johnny.
We were also threatened with Yobo being sent back yesterday too.

Height will be one issue. He's comparatively short and they leak a lot of goals from set pieces. He really isn't a world class defender. He's a liability. I'll be glad to see him replaced by someone who plays for the team rather than himself.
