They moved 15 and 12 years ago respectively. Can't really suggest that strikers from the Dutch league tend to do well when you have only two examples from that far back. Suarez of course is a brilliant example.
Yeah, that's the only two I thought of. But kind of too long ago to consider them in conversations relevant to recent strikers from the Dutch league I think.
I didn't say recently, you added that yourself.
Surely any conversation about strikers coming to the prem from the Dutch league and doing well has to involve recent transfers. Otherwise what's the point? Holds no contextual relevance.
There hasn't been that many.
I guess that's true, but surely there's been a few. I just thought of that Alves for Borough and Kezman who were both pretty crap. I'm guessing there were a few more too.
They are recent either
I thought of Alves. Still managed to stick two past us mind. There is also the lad at Newcastle whose name I can't spell. He started on fire and tailed off quickly as their season turned to chaos. I still think he could score a fair amount in the right side. I guess you could count Kuyt too depending on what you argue his position is.
Anyway, back on point, I think Janssen is a good signing.

Agree on them being old signings too, I only mentioned them as you were going that far back. I wouldn't otherwise use them as a point to say Dutch league strikers are no good. As for Janssen I really can't comment, never seen him play. Was just curious as I couldn't think of many.
You're all forgetting Dirk Kuyt, the Dutch Ronaldinho.
Pelle was alright.
Are you referring to Wijnaldum?
Have any strawberry-blonde strikers that are left-handed and came from the Dutch league been any good? I'm just trying to find a more arbitrary process to extrapolate success.
Not many tweets in the tweet thread anymore...
Siem or Luke de jong?
I suppose Depay was scoring plenty there as well.

Afonso Alves.
Thanks, that explains it
. Went through every United transfer last season and couldn't work out who it was.Mundo Deportivo: Real have "decided" to keep Morata and not listen to offers anymore (they are citing AS though). "Decided", yeah sure
More like no one wanted to pay the stupid amount they asked for him.

So Morata basically ended back where he started. A Madrid sub.
Glad no one is prepared to overpay for their unwanted players!
Guillem Balague: "He is going to Manchester United."
"He talks absolute shit, the complete and utter ball bag. Wait, it's news that I want to believe...yay, he's signing!!!"
Chelsea are in the CL apparently.
In reference to the Balague video above.

I hope we have procured a big cut of any sell-on. We should do this for all our young players and especially promising ones like Reid.
It seems a sensible thing to do. If he doesn't do well you don't lose anything, but if he does both clubs benefit.
Petit seems such a bitter ABU - Ballbag is actually much more realistic about the whole situation.
It pisses me off when pundits/journalists are blatantly biased or bitter. If I wanted to listen to hate-filled drivel I'd visit rawk or bluemoon. You expect a certain level of professionalism from people who are getting paid to talk about football.
Ah, that might explain it
Yep. And there have been big offers for ex United kids like Michael Keane and Robbie Brady this summer so let's hope the club has seen that.
Keys responding to a tweet if he still thinks it is a done deal....get the impression he has slightly changed his stance in case the deal falls through.
I don't care for sell-on policies. The aim should be to develop players and launch their careers, and a big part of that is getting them to a club where they can prosper. Making money out of youth development kind of deflects from the whole purpose.
Find it so strange when I see fan tweets like this to people who have no reputation for being in the knowReally don't understand this. Money from our youth products helps pay for the youth system and has no negative impact on the players. It is simple financial sense for the club.
Why would young players choose to come if they know we're going to apply conditions whenever we decide to part company?
