Suarez, Van Persie, Van Nistlerooy, Kuyt and many more. I think it's just more of a lottery than normal really. I think if you watch them as players rather than their league, you'll probably get a better idea. I think the only player who looked brilliant before arriving and then wasn't, was probably Kezman.

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Eredivisie is no different to any other non traditionally big league tbh, it's just players there are coached well technically and tactically so more people are usually signed from there. Even France which is of a higher level than the Dutch league has loads of flops. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, plenty more have (Alves, Ruiz, etc), but many more players than the ones you mentioned from Eredivisie have also looked brilliant in the PL (Robben, Hasselbaink, VdV, Bergkamp, etc.) It’s just a strange notion that transfers from Eredivisie clubs are somehow different from any other player transfer from one club to another. Plenty of players have moved clubs within England and even the PL and failed. It’s almost like getting a new player in is always a bit of a risk.

Unbelievable Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The more concerning thing is that nobody that I've seen who watches him play regularly thinks he can be a success here I have and I think he can be a success here, but he could also be a flop. For us to get in a striker who will be a guaranteed success we’ll need to spend a multitude of the 20m said to be available, and even then it could end up in failure (and probably would considering this is NUFC we’re talking about).

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Bony was a funny one. Remember when we were linked so I Dennis Wised him and his goals in Holland were basically him knocking people out of the way like he was playing 9 year olds.

Plenty of players have moved clubs within England and even the PL and failed. It’s almost like getting a new player in is always a bit of a risk. Thing is, the players who have done well in the PL usually have had one or more stand out attributes like speed, physicality or exceptional technique. Players like Kezman, De Jong, Janssen etc, may have good movement and play intelligently which seems to be working great in the Dutch league, but they are neither strong, fast or have particularly good technique where you need something to stand out in England. Only exception I can think of is Kuyt which, as we here know all too well, will always be an enigma. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equally there is no need to be so dismissive of the Eredivisie even though Dutch football is going through a very rough patch. It is my contention more world class forwards have spent their formative years in Dutch academies or learnt their trade in this league than in English ones in recent decades. I’ll simply say: Romario, Van Basten, Gullit, Ronaldo, Bergkamp, Van Nistelrooij, Kluivert, Mackaaij, Van Persie, Robben, Ibrahimovic, Suarez and that’s me probably forgetting a few good ones too. No need to go on like we’re some football backwater. Well we are at the moment, but plenty of players have been developed here, and plenty more will follow.
