[...] terrific, progressive player. His time will come. 7. Johnny Heitinga (Atletico Madrid to Everton) The powerful Dutchman didn’t come cheap but I think he’s the ideal player to fill Joleon Lescott’s boots. 6. Tuncay [...]

Heitinga was a less than acceptable defender at Atletico. In fact he was brought in to fill the hole at center back but he could not play center back and was eventually moved to right back. That is the whole reason Atleti had to go out and purchase old man Juanito this summer, to fill the hole the Johnny could not.

Know what you’re talking about, Chringle. Sounds almost Brazillian, dunnit?
He was quality back here at Ajax but unfortunately Atletico is the Spanish Newcastle (albeit less rubbish), in the sense that every defender they sign becomes shit the second he puts on the shirt, and “Sjonny” was apparently no exception.
Also, in Holland he is known for being less than gifted in the cerebral department. Some Skinner & Baddiel-esque wags even made a clip of him listening to his ipod, which plays his name over and over lest he forget (also features Robben being given a bad English language course, Van der Vaart listening to German folk and Cocu enjoying a stadium tour) http://www.burorenkema.nl/2006/06/ipodje_voetballen.php

Vinny, Cahill and Arteta are already 2 of the highest paid players at the club

I’m amazed that a centre half has gone for less than 20-odd million squids. Barca have paid 22 mil for some unknown, and City have been so ridiculously generous in their valuation of Lescott that I’m now convinced that their transfers are dealt with by a spoilt little Californian rich kid. Paris Hilton perhaps.
Amazing really that for the price of Lescott you could get Skrtel, Agger, Hyypia, Jagielka and Hietinga. The footballing world’s gone mad.

He’s one of these people that are a better name than they are a player.
If that made sense to anyone, please contact me and explain it.
