I know absolutely 0 about him.
My first reaction, was "the full back from spurs?"

they're not too impressed with van den Berg going on loan to them though..

Some are saying "he'd be worth 15-20m with 2 years left, hope we've got a good sell-on clause"

Its a smart signing he is experienced enough 130 games in championship and plays for a footballing manager.

Rhys could do with a loan move himself but we cant do that at the minute.

Van Der Berg going to Preston on loan but keen to see how he goes on good test for him.

At £2m we cant lose really as im sure we'd get that back if he isnt quite good enough.

Sounds mad but maybe to get more fans from Japan??

It doesn't sound mad at all! Why do you think he played against Palace? An early Saturday kickoff that's like an 8-9 o'clock game in the Far East?

I think it definitely played a role in signing him.

I’m all for giving players a chance but fuck sake F$G.

An unheard of 25 year old playing for a mid to low table championship team is the answer to our defensive issues.

I am pretty confident in him to be honest, we've got some very good data anaylst's behind the scenes I believe, even though it seems out of nowhere bet we've looked at him for a good while

the lad must be thrilled he doesn't have to move to scotland and play for celtic.

There's some bargains to be had, I mean look at robertson best example.

I'm not really big on theories so that's why i think it's mad

But it really does seem that way doesn't it? very strange situation with him couldn't really get a look in when we was god awful

here's a question has shaqiri done enough when he's been fit finally now to stay for next season? will we see him and origi leave for a new player?

In the long run will we still sign a proven top CB??

Replacing Keita/wij in midfield with someone??

I honestly think the attack may stay the same, and if FSG are broke probably the CB options too.

Apparently, according to his wiki he plays CB or LB

We'll get a CB in the summer im sure of it.

I said we needed two and one more will come in.

Caleta-Car is a name who fits the profile 24, good on the ball, played at Red Bull Salzberg and now plays at Marseille under AVB who plays a high line.
