I think that passage is confusingly translated. FC Twente were after Mike. But he chose DCFC. The FC Twente coach didn't take it badly, but instead sent a text to Mike's agent to ask him to pass on his congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EulogyForEvolution Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Michel Vorm has been released by Spurs. He hasn't played much competitive football for the last few years and he's 36, but he played well in a Swansea team who passed it out from the back. I'm genuinely not sure if he's still worth a punt or not, or if he would have any interest in joining us, I just thought I'd mention it to see what people think.

Could work if he was a gambling addict who'd spaffed his earnings away and was prepared to carry on for a few seasons for not much money....?

He used to be pretty good, however whenever I'd seen the last few times I saw him place for Spurs he was looking pretty suspect and then they got another second keeper to replace him.

That's interesting. I can't recall seeing him play for quite a while, which is why I didn't give him a ringing endorsement. I just remember being impressed by him the last time he was playing regularly with Swansea. I suppose time moves on, and maybe a few years with little to no game time has done for him. It's odd that he decided to spend many of his peak years warming the bench at Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be quite a strategy going forward ? We could have a department within the recruitment team keeping tabs on the gambling habits of players at the top level. Then we can swoop if they fall on hard times. Let's face it, it can't be too much worse than our current scouting set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He retired last summer but was persuaded to be a backup as Loris had his injuries. Most likely this time retires for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 My suggestion is player wise, it is more aimed at the club. Please can we, on this occasion, let Philip Cocu identify players he thinks will improve this team and go and try and get them. Mike Te Wierek could be the first of a few Cocu signings, fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It if business can’t imagine wages would be too far apart with him being 32 now. Can’t see premier league teams coming in for him. Ibe would be another good signing if we could get him for low enough wages on a free. Bettonelli at Fulham is a gk that can play out from the back and is solid enough, out of favour at Fulham. Hart would be the best option keeper wise though if possible. After them if we could pick up an up and coming winger from lower leagues and our youngsters have a good season. recipe for success there Deeney would be brilliant,a proper handful. Didn’t Mac1 try and sign him? I wouldn’t touch Ibe,no evidence to back that opinion other than his stint at Bournemouth. I’ve got no idea on the keepers.
