PaddockLad 14528 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Is Bony short for Boneparte? What was that fuckin waster Boro signed from Heerenveen who looked like Gerd Muller in Holland but couldnt hit a barn door here?.... Am I right in saying that this is could be viewed as a sort of "rule of thumb"?.....strikers from the Dutch league are a bit diasppointing if they sign for English clubs?...Kezman springs to mind. Van Hoojdonk was a good player but a bit of a shitehoose as a person....any more?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Er Nistlerooy, Van Persie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1115 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Looks strong and pacy going by YouTube compilations. I'm not sure how we'd work a partnership out with him and Cisse given the midfielders that we have to play around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gejon 2 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Based on extensive scouting (one youtube video) he looks strong as an ox but slow and the goals he was scoring were practically gifted to him. I trust our scouts more than I trust myself though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14528 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Er Nistlerooy, Van Persie? Yeah, but look at the clubs they signed for.... theyve got better scouts and more money than the the likes of us also rans which makes a fuck up less likely. Van Nistlerooy wasnt a "Dutch footballer" anyway...his style of play was very,very English. Beckham on the other hand was a Dutch footballer though, lovely pass, couldnt tackle, graceful runner, nice hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gejon 2 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Suarez Bergkamp overmars even Kyut to a point, i think they do alright here tbh. (i know suarez isn't dutch but he did make his name there for ajax like) and tbf Bony isn't Dutch either so your point does hold up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14528 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Suarez Bergkamp overmars even Kyut to a point, i think they do alright here tbh. (i know suarez isn't dutch but he did make his name there for ajax like) Again, look at the clubs theyve joined. Am not saying its scientific. Bergkamp Overmars and Van Persie were brilliant players at the peak of their games with the right brilliant coach. Look at the level below manu and Arsenal over the years and theres not many that have gone on to better things eleswhere. Maybe its bollocks. But theres not many below the top level who spring to mind who have been even "ok". Andy van der Meyde went on the piss for 18 months at Everton Kuyt was another "English" Dutchman Edited January 27, 2013 by PaddockLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i know suarez isn't dutch but he did make his name there for ajax like) Kezman and Afonso Alves aren't Dutch either (neither of course is Bony) so there's no problem using Suarez as an example of success if they're being put up as the failures.

Andy van der Meyde went on the piss for 18 months at Everton You could probably make the same argument about lesser quality teams buying players from almost any country tbf. The bigger clubs have bigger scouting networks and can pay more for a player so it's not surprising that they have a better hit rate. We've looked to our scouts to give us the advantage our tight owner won't give us financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think the last week will be a massive confidence boost to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
