FootscrayRover Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Fantastic news if it is true. Would he be signed as a marquee? What sort of $$ would he have been on at his last gig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sculls_6 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Read that he was training with Breda after missing out on a move to the Hammers.

Thrillhouse Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Club has flown down marquee midfielder hoping to agree on a deal, players last 2 transfers around 4m. Engelaar fits as his last 2 transfers were 4m and 5.5m. If this goes through the long wait since our last signing would be justified.

sharpy Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 No but I was asked the following "Some big tall black blokes named Orlando who's from Holland is watching training... know who it might be?" Text message from a bloke who was at training. Said that they weren't in anyway trying to keep him hidden either. I sent him an image of Engelaar and he confirmed that it was him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyh001 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) not taking anything for granted or as if its a done deal but awesome news if correct. would just about be THE signing of the A League off season (not just Heart and even considering the signing of Kewell); plenty of experience recently at a top 3 Dutch side with Europa league experience. has been in and out of the team the last few seasons - i'm kinda guessing that with the change of number (from 8 to 16) that it is more to do with changes and extra competition within the squad than injury (although if someone can confirm).

sharpy Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Yeah hasn't been injured, but has just been getting older and therefore not an automatic starting choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakz7 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 According to FIFA, he's very slow but his strength (you'd expect that due to his height) and shot power is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mus-28 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Holy fuckballs, I remember him bossing the midfield for the Dutch at Euro 2008. It was like they'd stuck a bouncer out on the park to strike fear into the opposition. He would have bowel movements with more physical presence than Leigh Broxham. If this happens shit will be lost. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
