[Albion] Davy Propper to Ajax for 21m

[mune ni kamome]

Does anyone else always sing “Davy, Davy Propper..king of the wild frontier” to the tune of “Davy Crockett” the 1960s TV series that re ran on Sunday Mornings I the late 1970s in their head whenever his name is mentioned?

No? It’s just me then.

Me too.
Plus I always sing “going up and we’ll win the cup for Sussex by the sea” so there

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Yep me too. No one gets it though.

You and I [MENTION=139]Jam The Man[/MENTION].

Brothers from another mother.

It’s such a relief to meet others who share my mania.

Davy Davy Pröpper King of the Dutch midfield !

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Davy, Davy Pruuuuperrr
King of the physio couch?

 

[blue-shifted]

Surely if they want him he goes?

Tony rarely sells if he doesn't want to. I think Potter can sell Davy a new vision of what his job will be in the team and talk him into staying for another year.

It's such a bizarre drum for many on NSC to be banging away at.

In the whole scheme of things 'fast' footballers really don't come into it.
It's all about being in the right place at the right time, one step ahead of the opposition.

The player does very little, it's all about the ball, how, where and when it's played.

Any footballer can be 'fast' if he's alert to the possession, turned and moved to where the ball might be heading.
Any footballer can be 'slow' if he's waiting for the ball to be played to feet before turning to run at his opposite number.

You can’t dismiss pace though surely?
Otherwise, you might as well watch Serie A.

If you play a pass into a ‘hole’, you certainly can’t walk on to it.

Look at great strikers and wingers, they have explosive pace, there aren’t many who stroll and look brilliant (other than Pirlo or Jan Molby)

Hope he goes .

Can get better than what he's given us.

Some of his performances last year were beyond SHIT (yeah I know same for everyone )

 

[James Bond's body double]

So, what's his value to us us we paid around 10m I think so maybe get 15-18m?

Plenty of great forwards with no real pace. Shearer, Berbatov, Totti, Toni, Raul, Kane, etc, etc. Nobody is 'dismissing' pace, but speed of thought is easily of equivalent importance.

Stat's point is valid. A player like Kazenga Lualua could be comfortably the fastest player in our side, and yet simultaneously the one most guilty of slowing down play.

We wouldn't even answer the phone until they reach £25m, IMO.

Messi doesn't, Ronaldinho didn't, neither did Riquelme and Murray certainly doesn't

Pace helps, but being quick upstairs is much more relevant.

I agree. I'd be furious if we let him go for less than that considering a) how good he is and can be, b) he's a Dutch international, c) he's had two years in this division and d) what the current market is like in terms of player valuations.

 

[Icy Gull]

If he wants to go, which I imagine he will, he’ll be off imo. Shame as he was 100% NOT a CH player. I was looking forward to seeing him next season. Not impressed with our current known transfer rumour activity. A League One player in and a player good enough to play for one of the top teams in Europe out

Must do better, I am wavering towards Potter OUT

Think that's what the sticking point will be.

Ajax are tight.

Their first choice is De Roon. Maybe we should get him if they sign propps.

Think Izquierdo has that crown

(i think) Albion haven't sold a first choice player now since Ulloa - 5 long years ago.
What does that tell you about their desire and ability to keep hold of their best players ?

You jest... but it has some merit !.... very early days I know. But I would quite like us to be linked with a player over the age of 12 lol

 

[jamie the seagull]

Just mentioned on Radio - BHA expecting bid for Propper.
Would be a shame as he has been played out of position by CH for 2 seasons.
Propper off to a Club in the Champions League.
We are left with the one that likes to spend his time in Clubs.

 

[Triggaaar]

Of course we might express ourselves straight back to the Championship but it will be a breath of fresh air compared to some of the boring dross we’ve endured

I don't think that's how fans will see it. Fans don't like seeing us lose, so if we're passing the ball around, trying to attack, and then get beaten, fans will soon get fed up.

Up until Christmas, we were playing our standard solid style. It wasn't exciting, but we were getting results and the fans liked it. We then changed to a more attacking style and fans liked it at first, even though we lost. Losing soon got boring though. The fans will say it's our play style they got fed up with, but the truth is it was the losing.
