    Dutch papers reporting Berghuis is signing for Watford. 23 year old winger. 11 goals in 22 games for AZ last season. Fee thought to be over 5 million. Not sure if pounds or euros.

    Looks just what we need.

    Ditto. Looks like a good young talent that would develop. Seems to me to be a typical Pozzo signing here

    Makes a lot of sense. Goal-scoring winger who can cross a ball, just had a good season but available for a few mill, with the potential to be sold on for a profit.

    Looks decent technically and strong with either foot...worth a punt!

    Great talent, and already selected once for our national team.
    He was one of the best players for AZ this season for sure.

    Everything sounds great .....but surely 5 assists for a winger in a season is pretty rubbish ??

    Like the look of this fella. Those defence splitting balls on the floor are just what we need along with, as others have mentioned, a few accurate crosses.

    True it does look it. However when you look closer, he was on a par with Depay with regards to goals and assists at the start of the season before having a metatarsal fracture that ruled him out for roughly 10 games. Yes he properly came back in January and still had plenty of time to boost those stats but you still have to say that if he didn't get injured when he was arguably at his best in the season, his stats would look much better

    Considering he also managed a 1 in 2 goalscoring rate as a winger, I think we can forgive him it...

    That might have worked in our favour. If he'd produced the same form as before and after the injury, there'd likely be bigger clubs chasing him right now, and a bigger pricetag on his head.

    5 assists in 22 games isn't bad at all really.

    Yes, just saw the 5 assists in a season stat. 5/22 isn't brilliant but may be more of a wide striker rather than true winger hence the high scoring stats. One of the 2 wide spots behind TD if we go 4-2-3-1 ?

    Looks deceent, but more like an AM than a winger

    Can play on the left or right or behind the striker and was also called up to the full Dutch squad for their recent Euro qualifier which is pretty impressive considering the amount of good attacking players they have. Looks to be a very good signing.

    I wonder if any other club forums look at highlight packages of say Craig Forsyth and think he is the next god believing everything in the highlights package is what he produces every week.

    Reminds me of Abdi, who also often drifts wide to deliver crosses. Hopefully he can offer more out and out width than we saw in that video but certainly looks a talent.

    Will we share the transfer fee with his selling club or are we going Dutch on this one?

    I personally think Depay will be one of the stars of this coming PL season, and I'm excited at the prospect of us signing anybody who is described as a younger version of..

    Berghuis being the younger version of Depay is like me being the younger version a new born baby. ie he's not younger

    You write extremely well for a 2-year-old. :rolleyes:

    This looks like the perfect signing to me! If this comes off I would say that should conclude our transfer dealings. Any more than 8 new signings is probably excessive?
