Vorm was a team-mate of Sigurdsson’s during the club’s first Premier League season after arriving from Dutch club Utrecht.
The Holland international was hugely impressive during his 89 league appearances in South Wales.
Nicknamed Penalty Killer, Vorm earned many plaudits after a successful first campaign in SA1 as the Swans claimed 11th place in 2011-12.
Vorm’s form domestically earned the attention of his national boss, with the keeper adding to his Holland caps while also being included in their European Championship and World Cup squads during his time at the Swans.

Left back Davies has signed a five-year contract, while Dutch goalkeeper Vorm has agreed a four-year deal.
 
Re: ***Official*** Michel Vorm signs for THFC

Excellent acquisition.

I will be amazed if that poll is anything but a 100% landslide, cannot see how anybody can be unhappy with this signing
 
Re: ***Official*** Michel Vorm signs for THFC

I'm not unhappy but it's one of those where I'd take it at the end of the window but I want the priorities sorted first.

Guess the concern is that Hugo might be going so that could be a 'negative' of this signing sort of.

You can only sign players as they become available. If you only signed players in order of priority you could well end up missing out on some useful additions.

I reckon that, much like Bale, and Modeic before him, Hugo has agreed to stay for another year. If we get to CL for the following season - if not he'll be off.

A good improvement on Brad. If the squad can be improved, the club should take action to improve the squad & it's no different here.

Good signing.
 
Re: ***Official*** Michel Vorm signs for THFC

Definitely a great second choice keeper. Good deal this and im surprised Swansea got rid

He was 2nd choice there anyway, may as well sit on our bench than theirs.
 
Re: ***Official*** Michel Vorm signs for THFC

Perfect signing. I know he's coming in as 2nd choice but he's going to have plenty of opportunity to get a lot of game time with us which will keep him happy and if anything happened to Lloris injury wise then we have a like for like replacement for him without having to change tactically for dependable but much slower than he used to be Brad.
 
Re: ***Official*** Michel Vorm signs for THFC

Officially, it was an undisclosed fee but what's the best guestimate for how much he cost?

I read somewhere online that Siggy and Davies effectively cancel each other out (even if the transfers are listed as separate deals), with Vorm coming to us for £5m. But I don't have a source for that (and I doubt the place I read it has one either! :)
 
Re: ***Official*** Michel Vorm signs for THFC

Yes, I think it was a straight swap between Siggy for Davies but I'm thinking each player must be valued at around the £10m mark.

6m euros or 5m pounds with a third of the fee going to FC Utrecht according to the NOS, the Dutch state broadcaster.

Did Vorm have just a year left on his contract?
 
Re: ***Official*** Michel Vorm signs for THFC

Is that the most a club has ever paid for a sub keeper?
 
Re: ***Official*** Michel Vorm signs for THFC

No, Claudio Bravo signed for Barcelona for £10m. Ter-Stegen will be their #1
 
Re: ***Official*** Michel Vorm signs for THFC

Great keeper.... If we didn't have Lloris I would actually be happy with Vorm as first choice. Was a spell 18 months or so ago when he was incredible.
 
Re: ***Official*** Michel Vorm signs for THFC

If Hugo gets injured, we're not relying on a 43 year old as our last line of defence. I expect he'll play in the Europa.
