Erik Pieters (born 7 August 1988) is a Dutch footballer who currently plays for PSV Eindhoven and the Dutch national team as a left back.

Luuk De Jong Tim Krul Nathaniel Clyne Jetro Willems Mathieu Debuchy Danny Simpson Jan Vertonghen

Also started a career as Stoke, bought Debuchy and Erik Pieters, with Raheem Sterling on loan.

Apparently, was seen at SJP today. Hopefully, Erik can be NUFC's next signing. Get Erik, Loïc and Debuchy and I'll be happy.

Erik Pieters at the toon game today!!

So Erik Pieters was at SJP today? Well I'd have preferred it ti be Mathieu Debuchy like, but i'll take Pieters as second choice.

is th rumours true about spotted at Toon game today?! In support of anita or our new left back?!?!

hope u enjoyed the match the day would be good to see you in a Newcastle shirt some day

yeah I know, so happy, Ben Arfa celebrated towards us when he scored, erik pieters was at the game...

Pretty chuffed pal. We were under the cosh at times so a win is perfect. Erik Pieters expected to sign up this weekend. Happy days!

Erik Pieters was at the game today...

Erik Pieters was at the match today! Hopefully another signing!

Great win for the Toon today even in 2nd gear. FACT - Erik Pieters was at the game and word is will sign early next week

PSV and Netherlands left-back Erik Pieters was at St James' Park for tonight's game. Let the speculation commence.

Heather Dawn Crow, Ed Gray, Brittany Gulbrandson, Travis Dowdy, Elyse Dowdy, Joanne Syvertsen, Wesley Pieters, Julie Barber, Joseph Balazsy and all other family members: My company converted our VHS tapes to DVD, currently I have a DVD of 1989 4th of July at Diane's, 1989 4th of July at Erik's, and Thanksgivings 1989 & 1990 at Grandma Pieters' house. These videos include some of our loved ones who have passed away Erik Pieters, Francis Pieters, Russ Emery, Gertrude Pieters-Balazsy as well as some of our much younger selves

Someone needs to sign Kevin Strootman, if Newcastle lose Tiote then he is a perfect replacement. Erik Pieters to Bayern too, Lahm to Right

what year is Erik Pieters medical due to finish?

first two games moreso, they missed you big time Erik

come and sign for Newcastle and everything will b alright

I think holland would have had a chance I'd you were playing !

he's been back up to Erik Pieters so he's not 1st choice but played cos Pieters was injured

he's not, only in because of injury to Erik Pieters.

'Willems to miss next game. It's ok, though, Erik Pieters should be back for that World Cup qualifier against Turkey.'

I think the first choice was Erik Pieters? Bouma should be starting.

really miss Van Bronckhorst captaincy at LB. Willems to young to handle this. If only Erik Pieters not injured.

yeah, erik pieters was first choice but injured. And GTO Aka Mr Van Bronchorst has retired. So yeah.

Hollands problem is Erik Pieters isn't playing!

Portugal are really exploiting the Holland full backs. Jetro Willems look out of his depth, Holland have missed Erik Pieters at left back.

It's times like these that the Dutch need playing!

optimistic there but as we saw with Czech Rep and Greece games anything can happen

Who would you like most at Nathaniel Clyne, Erik Pieters or Debuchy

Erik Pieters is too injury prone and would be a huge risk

still have Nathaniel Clyne and Erik Pieters in their full back plans if they fail to land Debuchy

Weekend vieren met een Lunch bij Mangiare met Safia Sophie Michelle ❤love it have a Nice one you all! Xxx

How do you feel about how Erik Pieters stacks up in the game? Is he better than the real thing? Oh, and come to NUFC!

is a massive miss in this Dutch side. This left back is simply not good enough

YEah thats true , Jetro Willems is getting creamed.

A first half to forget for Jetro Willems. The dutch certainly miss Erik Pieters

Don't blame Jethro Willems as he is no Van Bronkchrost or Erik Pieters..this is his 1st major competition..he needs time to shine!

He is getting ragged all over. Shame is injured. Germany look majestic but it isn't over yet.

they are missing erik pieters at LB.. as I told u the other day..

How bad must Erik Pieters be if Jetro Willems keeps him out of Holland & PSV starting XI?

Erik pieters. I miss you. Get Williems out of here.

If Erik Pieters, the Dutch international LB wasn't injured that right wing for Germany wouldn't be as easy!

he's absolutely *** He's 18. Erik pieters is the first choice one but think he's injured

Big time missing are the dutch. Wonder how Anita wouldve done compared to this donkey too?

"Erik Pieters would normally fill in for Van Bronckhorst at left back but he's retired" surely he's the left back then Jonathon Pearce

I think Erik Pieters is a massive miss for Holland. One that people probably don't realise, Willems is too inexperienced.

Erik Pieters and then I kicked him out but that was also over contract negotiations

Can't wait for Nederland to come up on Euro football, that ERIK PIETERS is actually beautiful

Erik pieters.. LB.. he will develop fast with an excellent attribute..

some players will be missing out of this Euro 2012, like d likes Right-back: Bacary Sagna (France),Centre-back: Carles Puyol (Spain), Centre-back: Gary Cahill (England), Left-back: Erik Pieters (Holland) and so many others. WHAT A RUSH

Thinking tomorrow will be dedicated to Erik Pieters.

The Dutch have so much faith in Erik Pieters at LB that they are experimenting using midfielder Stijn Schaars there tonight..

Erik Pieters is still injured. But also supporting Holland!!!

Good piece but one omission: Willems only picked over Erik Pieters because of injury.

Toby Alderweireld, James Tompkins, Erik Pieters & Mathieu Debuchy have topped Newcastle shortlist as they search for a new defender.

I'll pay 25mil. And debuchy and Erik pieters and Douglas the center back

can I get your name on my anew Nufc shirt ? I don't want to waste money you see

Erik pieters is aleft back or centre back not a right back pmsl;

Yes. He replaced his PSV team-mate Erik Pieters when the latter got injured.

I Imagine Van Marwijk will start with Erik Pieters, instead, but I could be wrong.

Luuk De Jong or Erik Pieters? we were after signing both in January and also last summer?

Come to the TOON Eric you wont regret it.

honestly think won't sign Debuchy, why bother when you have Santon? Erik Pieters seems the more likely signing at left back.

Erik links in centrum, Jetro back. If Erik wants?

when you joining the Toon with and the Boys lol :-)

It's a great movie, not as good as first but a lot better than the second

should milan consider erik pieters for LB?he is a great LB who value went down due to severe injury.

Erik, are you coming to visit Newcatsle this summer?

tim do you think their is any chance of us getting Luuk De Jong and Erik Pieters ???

Beterschap! I hope to see you soon back on the pitch!

We'll get some bargains. M'Biwa/ Debuchy for about £6m each. Erik Pieters from PSV and some young Championship players.

Hope now sign Luuk De Jong + his brother Siem De Jong Marvin Martin, Erik Pieters, a centre back for competition for S.Taylor

Are you moving to the premiership anytime soon?

he'll be your favourite Newcastle player next season

Erik what's the crack then? You coming to Newcastle with Debuchy or what?

Jay Rodriguez to Newcastle, Erik Pieters to Newcastle, John Guidetti to Newcastle, Benjamin Corgnet to Newcastle ?

Erik Pieters wikipedia page says he's agreed to join Newcastle! I hope this is true

Attempting to talk to erik pieters in Dutch, GOML?

you gonna hurry up and sign for Newcastle?

I'd like to see newcastle sign a new full back (erik pieters) & mousa sow

Get yourself to the toon this summer!

Are you sure you are not due in Newcastle to sign a contract?

has delighted the fans of Arsenal with the signing of Erik Pieters.

Klaas Jan Huntelaar, Mark Van Bommel and Erik Pieters forced to abandon their Nissan Sunny on Holy Island causeway.

Hey Erik I am a newcastle fanatic are ya gonna join our bandwagon in the summer

very nice, she will love it in Newcastle :-)

Ahhh jou Mickey Mouse shirtt is zooo leukk.

are you gonna be a Newcastle player next season?

we have a nice one of them on Newcastle !

Will you be coming to Newcastle next season?

Are ya gonna sign for the Toon or what like young un?

England! Like the last 2 times, oh... too soon! Plus hope to see you in a jersey next season!

are you comin to this Erik fingers crossed.

Fee in the region of £7million agreed for from , he is expected to be on tyneside to complete his medical very soon.

Nathaniel Clyne, Debuchy, and Erik Pieters. Cya later Danny Simpson . But remember what happened with Jose

The thought of santon moving to right back and then signing Erik Pieters is far to exciting ;D

Look at the Av. ratings for a LB, thats good! He gets called up to the National team but Erik Pieters gets a game over him :(

I hope that if Erik Pieters is signed, it's as well as a top centre-back, not instead of. That would be like signing Ba solely to play LW.

check Trilogy in Madinat Jumeirah, Nasimi Beach in Atlantis, en Horizon Lounge in Habtoor Grand.

to pretty soon I think. Exactly the type of player the club need. Sure up the defence to stop leaking goals.

Dear Erik, can i get a RT, i'm from Morocco and i'm a huge fan of you xx

Are there any plans to join up with Tim Krul at the mighty Newcastle, Ive heard your a great player.

Will you be joining this summer mate? I'm sure everyone would welcome you on Tyneside!

Yeahsissy.. Guess who's back, back again Sissy is back, tell a friend. 😏😘

Newcastle will raid Holland in the summer with Douglas, Erik Pieters, Jan Vertonghen, N.Boilesen and Luuk De Jong being targets

are you going to be signing for NUFC when the transfer window opens?!

You must be looking forward to joining the Toon this summer.

Hanging up my boots. Thanks for all your support. Great memories to look back on. Cheers

Tonight, Gregory van der Wiel will launch his new website Congrats !

if we don't make CL today come and help us make it next season

well done to that was fully deserved 😃 good luck to both of you at the Euros

Should join in the summer we need more top quality players! will buy you dinner if you do

Do it mate, enjoy your football too. Il speak to you tomoz pal, big day tomorrow for me.

yeah Matavz is his name, he's a cool guy! I've seen him so much now that he's starting to recognize me!

yeah I understand. I just filed in a request for season tickets next year!

if I was a single man with no children I'd be living in Newcastle. I'd be there at every home game. 1/2

bet that was cool ;-) Look out for the premiership tomorrow. Will be a great end to the season. KO 3pm GMT

I went to about 30 games this season, so that's pretty nice!

Well I don't see Chelsea winning the CL honestly... Bayern has a very good squad, think they are much better.

I scored Timothy Derijck's training jacket (one of our central defenders) Super proud of it :D

Whoa! Nice nice! Yeah were all done in Holland. Yesterday we had a big supporters night on the pitch! Awesome!

I live the other end of the country to where Newcastle play so Unfortunately I dont get to see them a lot

win the champions league we will only get uefa and not champions league. That would suck

if one of them loses and we win then we are in the champions league. If we finish 4th though and chelsea

but that only depends on what happens with arsenal and tottenham. If they both win then we finish 5th

we play one more tomorrow and we could end up 3rd, were 5th at the moment. We could get champions league

We were a favourite to go down again this year. We've done so well it's unreal. I wish you guys luck ;-)

attention to Euro League this year and put full focus on the championship!

national competitions because they only have 2 rest days. PSV already made clear that they wont pay much..

it's a good league though, you should be given more champions league spaces. What a load of crap dude.

Ah mate that's nothing, 2 years ago we were relegated Best thing for us though Were bigger and stronger now

they did! But they are not really to blame, they did it so they could get Europa League themselves.

well it is pretty bad, we havent played CL in 4 years!

we won the cup, Hveen wouldnt qualify directly for Europa league. So they either had to win or lose on purpose

Heerenveen played last match against Feyenoord, if Hveen would draw, then PSV would become second and because

van bommel's a great signing. Hopefully then you'll be the team to beat next year in the league.

And we need a player like Van Bommel who can take them under his wing. So thats magnificent news!

But we just for word that Van Bommel is coming to PSV in summer, we have a squad with a lot of youngsters.

That's crap!!! Only a point between you and feyenoord too. That must be hard to take. I'm now a PSV fan ;-)

We did win the national cup, Same as your FA Cup, so we go to Europa League, again...

no unfortunately not. First place is group fase CL, second is a place in qualifiers.

I've just seen you finished 3rd. Does that qualify for champions league?? You scored a lot of goals too.

My god you don't know how much were gonna need him. Being a novice on Dutch football, how are PSV doing?

3/3 body at him. He is good in that sort of rough play, think thats an important quality in premier league!

2/3 what I think is one of his best qualities, is when a winger comes up on him he can just throw his ..

i think Erik is made for premier league. Football in England is tougher than in Holland, and for example 1/2

Do you think he'd do well in the premier league?

very nice Erik; wait until you sign for Newcastle and you sample the delights of Greggs pasties!

What a guy, no wonder you don't want him to leave ;-) Sounds like a top man.

2/2 take pictures of themselves, Erik and the cup. Love that guy!

Yeaah he's really awesome. Yesterday he stood with a cup we won in his hand for 30 minutes so fans could 1/2

No i didnt realise, poor guy. Let's hope he has a quick recovery wherever he ends up. He seems a cool guy

it could take 4 months or even longer. He will certainly miss the season start..

Talked to him about it yesterday, doctors cant say how long he will be out but if odds are against him

you havent heard? Well i dont know what its called in English but he broke a bone in his foot.

Erik is badly injured, it's very sad but I dont think a lot of clubs want an injured player.. Maybe next year.

Na he won't, he's coming to the Toon. Pride of the North East. It's the best league in the world.

2/2 the best defenders in Holland, but Pieters is gonna stay anyway!

Well we have a very talented defender on the left, Jetro Willems, who already proved himself to be on of 1/2

When you signing for us then Erik? stop messing about and get yourself doon to the toon Black and white it's the future

don't forget Looks like he's coming too. Sell Simmo now to Liverpoo they seem to like our cast off's.

you singing for the toon in the summer?? To join

Erik, Alan Pardew just won Manager of the Year here - does that make you love him more? :)

Oh well, off to bed. Meeting Eden Hazzard and Erik Pieters at Laser Quest in the Metro Centre tomorrow morning. Then off to

Holland coach Bert van Marwijk is upset for PSV Eindhoven fullback Erik Pieters after injury ruled him out of his Euros squad.

Fair point. For a LB in that price range though, I'd rather have the more experienced/proven Erik Pieters.

any chance of u signing 4 Newcastle mate

I hoped so too, still, he's praising us, which can only be a good thing!!

the Toon army will welcome you to Newcastle united next season, have a speedy recovery from your injury.

Erik, what are the chances of you signing for Newcastle?? Do you think it will happen??

Shall we be seeing you in a toon shirt soon?

Sorry to hear the news. Bring him back to the toon with you Tim!!

Sorry to hear you are out of euro, will it affect you joining nufc next season?

davide always cuts into his right, get him in RB, to LB?? more clean sheets for

Tim, he will see plenty of Europe when he's at The Big City next season ! up the mags !

its a shame and you'll be a massive miss 4 holland but as long as your fit 4 the start of the new NUFC season

please ask to sign for asap. Thanks

we need him fit for next season when he comes to toon Tim

what does this do to his chances of joining Newcastle?

tell to make up for missing euros by joining the Toons euro bandwagon.

Sorry to hear you're missing EURO 2012. Lots of Newcastle fans were hoping to see you play in Poland/Ukraine.

Will he be fit enough to join NUFC though?

Hope you get back to fitness soon, gutted to see you missing Euros

sorry about injury. Was hoping to see you play at Euros. Speedy recovery and best of luck

Do you want to transfer to nufc ? , because I wanna see you next year with nufc

It's OK though, because he'll be in Europe with us next season!

I hope Erik is fit for when he comes to play for the toon next season!

I'm sure he'll have his chance next year after a successful year at NUFC hopefully :-)

Don't speak Dutch but I'm hoping that says is on the plane to Newcastle? Get him signed!

Dont matter Erik, means you will be fresh when you sign for Newcastle ;)

has delighted the fans of Newcastle United with the signing of Erik Pieters

Will Danny Guthrie or Danny Simpson be leaving in the summer? Will Erik Pieters be joining us in the summer?

I don't mind him but I think we need to do some shopping for more defenders looks like were getting erik pieters though!

I like Ajax in the Eridivisie :P I like Christian Eriksen and Jan Vertonghen but I think Ola Toivonen & Erik Pieters are gods O.O

Erik, did you look for Newcastle's result yesterday?

until I see him in the black and white I'm not believing nowt! But i do believe

hope so we need a left footed LB and he looks the part. Santon bombing down the right.

PSV starlet Erik Pieters is on his way to Newcastle according to his agent. Great left back.

Erik Pieters would be a good signing for us.

Hi Erik. Any chance you'll be visiting Newcastle this summer?
