The report back in his native Holland suggested that he was being tracked by other clubs and could even be tempted back to his previous club – ADO Den Haag.<\/p>\n
But the midfielder – so instrumental in the Swans form this season – dismissed the suggestions and told the Evening Post “I’m happy at Swansea and I’m disappointed with the magazine because what they wrote and what I said to them were not the same.<\/p>\n
“It’s as if I said to you now that I like bananas, and then in the paper the next day you write that Ferrie Bodde likes pineapples.<\/p>\n
“When I gave the interview, I asked the reporter to send me an email of the piece so I could say what was correct and what wasn’t,” he adds.<\/p>\n
“I did that and told him a lot of things were wrong, but he didn’t change them.<\/p>\n
“When I read it I said ‘No, what’s this?’ and tried to ring him, but he didn’t answer.<\/p>\n
“I said to him when I read the email that I didn’t know how he thought I’d said certain things. He said he wanted to make it juicier.<\/p>\n
“What I want to make clear is that I’m happy in Swansea.<\/p>\n

“But there’s no problem at the moment.<\/p>\n
“When I finish football, I will go back to Holland because that’s where my life is.<\/p>\n
“If my family were not happy now and wanted to go back I would look at it, but they are happy.<\/p>\n
“Denny Landzaat just left Wigan for Feyenoord because Wigan was difficult for his child. That’s right, but we’re happy in Swansea.<\/p>\n
“We have a nice team, nice supporters and good staff and we’re winning most games,” he adds.<\/p>\n
“I’m enjoying it here, there’s no doubt about that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
