Naylor is reading NSC, cos hes just tweeted that he wouldnt be surprised if we made another bid for Virgil van Dijk now Greer is injured.
On the ball as usual
Naylor was fired by the Argus a couple of years ago, but he never told his wife. He gets ready every morning and heads off 'to work' in his mum's garage, where he tweets NSC gossip as his exclusives.

Bizarre Transfer Speculation - Virgil van Dijk

Spoke to a Dutch mate, Ajax season ticket holder who has seen us play a few times this season.

He says decent prospect but far from finished article and prone to the odd mistake. Should be premiership class in a couple of years. But won't improve the team that much in short term.

Depends which team he's talking about. He'd definitely improve our team, even without Greer's injury.

A CB who can run and win headers WILL improve our defence. I love Adam and Gordon but they have been exposed several times this season, also they could be getting complacent with no competition for their starting slot.
 


ees complicated no?

How could he not improve the team? We have only 3 1st team CB's to start off with, 1 is injured, only 1 has been on form this season and the other has a unkown future.

I think we could all have come up with that without reading NSC!

And whether he came up with that himself or got it from NSC, why should he not tweet it or write it in the Argus? There are thousands of Albion supporters who do not read NSC, believe it or not!

Criticising AN is fair enough if you have grounds to, but don't invent criticisms for the sake of it.

Translated to "Direction Amsterdam" - where our boss happens to be - my earlier post of Gus and Virgil meeting in a cafe in Amsterdam is very likely !!

Can any of our Dutch based NSC members check the thousands of cafes in Amsterdam ?

Ajax have been scouring the World for a good defender and I can see them cleaning up.

So he's either meeting with us, or off to another club. Well that's cleared that up.

Really? It's known we made a bid for a defender, and are considering whether to make another improved bid. One of our few remaining fit defenders gets injured. Drawing the conclusion that we will make another bid isn't some sort of NSC exclusive skill. Highlighting this, and pointing out how lame a reason to criticise Naylor it is (when there are plenty of legitimate reasons to criticise him) can only be done by naylor himself?
