He's proven he can perform at Premiership level. Scored 8 goals. Has good attributes and probably wouldn't cost the Earth. Seems worth a go to me to pad out the squad a bit more. Though I hear wages might be high (newspaper talk).

I thought he was one of the better performers for QPR last season? Dutch international. Strong physical presence.

Leroy Fer. How come we aren't interested? Off to Sunderland they say..

Agreed. I'm a little worried at the moment. With the money we have spare we should be looking to sign a good quality CB and CM to replace Toby and Morgan. Clasie was cheap - so we should be able to afford someone of equal or better quality to him with the remaining 15 million or so?

Superb composure Juanmi.

Solid first half performance.

Obviously only came for the food

The game has passed Clasie by so far. Seems way off the pace at the moment.

Good squad player. One more CB needed though.

Can't read much into preseason. They'll learn from the defeat if anything.

I thought Lallana was bad when he left, but the manner with which Delph has left Villa really takes the top prize. If he had just left in the first place then they might have shrugged and moved on. But to have said he was staying loyal, soak up the adulation all week for being a hero and turning his back on the money, and THEN turn around and leave anyway. What a truly messed up bloke.

Seems a great price for a Dutch international player.

Should be a great season for JWP to make his mark. He's still only 20.

Ah.. I just clicked the above link and it was broken. Hopefully they'll announce it sometime this week!

Now a deleted tweet I think.

The affects of too much free alcohol I imagine.

Silky Gardos. Or lucky?

Could easily be 2-2 by now but bad finishing.

I think that's it .. we don't seem to have the same attitude as the other teams in this mini tournament. We are still in holiday mode.

Side is unbalanced. Typical pre-season type of game.

Static defence

Not looking that good so far. They are in control.

Close game really. Slightly better finishing and we could have done it.

Did he just say Sane instead of Mane?

1-0 booooo
