I just tried searching for this, and my wife now thinks I’m a peado.I don’t know why everybody finds this funny. The Young Virgins Detective Club is a fantastic organisation.

As far as I've seen it, chronologically:
- PSV said we had made an offer
- PSV left him out of the squad
- Dutch media said he's refused to play and has absconded prematurely to London
- Player posted a video from a London Hotel saying he's done everything as expected and is a bit confused about the backlash
- PSV manager confirmed he said the player could go over to London to sign for us
- Some PSV bigwig has said that there's been no offer and no reason for Bergwijn to be here.
Seems like literally no one involved knows what's going on.
Fair enough. But then we do have a habit of stowing away prospective signings in secret Travel Lodges for weeks on endWe follow our own transfers very closely and ignore others.
There are so many sagas that involve other clubs.
Eerga IThis thread actually makes more sense if you read it page by page backwards...
the goal at 3:49. yes please.

He receives the ball and has the skill (and maybe vision?) to make things happen certainly. But it is reactive and not central to the way the team plays, at the moment. Maybe that will change. Yesterday, the brilliant run wasn't planned - it happened. Someone gave him the ball and he saw the opportunity and reacted. I don't disagree he is a good player at all. I don't see he has a plan and therefore pulls the strings of the rest of the team in that way from a central position - he does that through his skill and opportunity.
In addition, if the rest of the team are playing such quick flicky, little passes to each other then it is not surprise that sometimes they don't work.
But at least you had the decency to reply as to why you disagreed!
He is EXACTLY what we need in a RW and he's what Lucas should be.
Don't want to get too excited about this one but IF we can get this over the line and a striker i'll start to have a lot more faith in the club and the re-build.
COYS.
Everyone is twice as good before we sign them. I'm happy it looks like we are getting him, but let's let him settle and not expect him to be great right away. It's a hard league to adjust from.This lad is the nuts, he is moura but twice as good. we sell eriksen and get him for same price ish...thats a massive win in my book.
Should be good in the counter attacking setup Jose has us playing in recently. We’ve spurned so many great opportunities by picking the wrong pass or holding onto the ball for too long.Like many here with strong opinions based on very few facts, i became an expert by watching a few youtube videos on him. The one thing i did like was that he demonstrated superb vision and touch in those clips. There was quite a bit of space and the players off the ball made great runs, but he still made the pass (ahem sonny). Most of his clips that i saw were open play, but does look promising.
The rational way of thinking. But until he’s actually signed, I can reasonably entertain any number of possibilities that stops this happening. ( Say this to yourself in Samuel L Jackson’s voice and you get what I mean)I refuse to believe that he's travelled to London to talk to us without having permission from PSV. He clearly had the backing of the manager but surely communication within their club isn't that bad?! It's obviously a tactic of saving face and I'm sure behind the scenes everything is far calmer than the media are portraying.

Yes but Janseen had one good season and you or I could see it was unlikely he'd have what it takes so succeed as a top level striker in the prem just from a few youtube highlights, but more than that Janssen didn't have the physical speed and sharpness or the mental strength to succeed for us, Bergywin is a confident player who's been performing for the best team in Holland for a number of years and the same at international level, much much higher chance of him succeeding with us and he's just the type of player we need.I do tend to agree but just remember that Vincent Janssen looked like Marco van Basten in his YouTube showreel from that league.
He’ll need to adapt well to the Prem and let’s not forget that Lucas has done some pretty awesome things in a Spurs shirt already. The competition may make him better too.
I mean that's great and all but let's keep in mind the league he is playing in.The thing I love about him is his creativity numbers. Double digit assists in back to back seasons and only trailing Ziyech and Tadic in the league in key passes. So important in the modern game to have creative wingers, especially if we’re transitioning to more of a 4-3-3 like Mourinho has traditionally played.
