The Johnny 'Colossus' Heitinga Appreciation Thread

The nerve of some people.

Typical.

Voetbal International - Heitinga ziet transfer naar Everton niet zitten

31/08/2009 08:10
Atlético Madrid en Everton mogen het dan eens zijn over een afkoopsom, John Heitinga staat minder positief tegenover een transfer naar de Premier League.

Everton kan Heitinga voor 5,6 miljoen euro overnemen van Atlético Madrid. Maar ook manager David Moyes erkent dat de overgang niet rond is met het akkoord tussen de clubs. Ook de verdediger moet zich kunnen vinden in het aanbod van The Toffees.

'Ik hoop dat we snel het ook met hem eens worden. Maar we hebben dat deel van de transfer nog niet afgerond', aldus Moyes, die veel werk moet verrichten om Heitinga te overtuigen.

Heitinga staat namelijk niet te springen om de Primera División te verruilen voor de Premier League. 'Ik wil bij Atlético Madrid blijven', zei de Oranje-international tegen De telegraaf. 'Tegen Málaga stond ik in de basis, dus ik ga er vanuit dat de trainer ook wil dat ik blijf.'

Although Everton and Athletico reached an agreement regarding John Heitinga, the player himself is less positive about a transfer to the English Premier League.

A €5.6m fee has been agreed, but Everton manager David Moyes admits, there hasn't been an agreement with the player, regarding personal terms. Looks like that will be a difficult job.

Especially seeing that Heitinga doesn't want to swap the Primera Division for the English Premiership."I want to stay at Athletico", he admitted. "I was in the team for the match against Malaga, so I believe the gaffer also wants me to stay."

We're siging players, it must be August 31st! Maybe we should just ban all transfer rumor topics until 5 days before the window closes.

This is a good signing

The new Alan Harper!

 

[Scottoffee]

There's always the chance that he might just be keeping their fans appeased or trying to ensure he gets one of these big 'loyalty bonuses' from Atletico.

Fingers crossed - Moyes will have an unexpected Fellaini-style fall-back plan if things don't work out.
