sempuki Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 He didn't show anything though. More suited to a weaker league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 His position is up front in a substandard league. So yes, he's right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Top scorer in the Eredivisie now The top scorer in that division last season was some Icelandic, Finnbogason, who scored ~30 goals in a 34 match league season, then promptly moved to La Liga where has failed to score even once.

Ronaldo Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 League One standard, or is that flattering? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Dutch teams have been terrible in the CL over the past decade or so, really shouldn't be considered a top league anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 League One standard, or is that flattering? The big clubs are probably on par with us, Stoke, Palace, etc. The rest, Championship/League One I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Rough estimate would be lower Championship - if you consider how potent Shola was before injury in our season down there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ads Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 In defence of the Eredivisie, for every Afonso Alves, Alfred Finnbogason and Luuk De Jong et al - what about Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Wilfried Bony and Luis Suarez? And more recently Tadic, Pelle, Vertonghen, Eriksen, Mertens, Dost (if recent form is anything to go by...), Janmaat, Strootman. I think a lot of it is down to the individual in question, not necessarily the poor standard of the league. De Jong scored goals at Twente, had his confidence knocked at Monchengladbach and that showed when he was here (let's not forget playing in a shit team under a shit manager). Now he's got his confidence back and is scoring goals. Granted, the competition isn't as strong as as the Premier League but it's a bit daft saying it's League One or Championship standard.

ads Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 You could say the same for any league to be fair. Falcao and Di Maria for instance. Looked bang average in respect of the amounts they've cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've quoted about 8 names going back 3-4 years from a league which has approximately 400 players registered in it in a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
