Van der MoodHoover Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Bizarre article don't you think Carl? A Hungarian /Nigerian. Who has played 88 games in 5 years (about as much as George? ). Turning down a move to St brendans Liverpool - really? Doesn't actually say what defensive position he plays- is this a possible ball playing centre half? To go alongside keogh?

I think he mainly is a ball-playing centre-half, but according to this BBC article he can play any position along the back 4 and turned down a senior call up to the Hungary squad (he's played for their U21s). http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36249520 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rample Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Remember the Dutch league is only 18 teams so he's not going to rack up masses of appearances. He played 19 out of 34 games last season and seemed to be first choice centre half from the turn of the year. I think any team is basing their interest on that. However his side didn't actually keep a clean sheet in 2016 which is worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just backing up my point. If the league was so rubbish then why has it developed so many great players? If it was rubbish then these players would have been found out and exposed in other leagues wouldn't they? The problem in Holland isn't the lack of quality, it's the lack of economic resources as they are forced to sell their players to other leagues as they don't have the financial power to compete. It makes me sad seeing traditionally massive clubs like Ajax unable to keep hold of their players. Also it was an easy group for Austria in comparison to the other groups but they completely ballsed it up. Notice how you're not mentioning how I said that Portugal could potentially do well.

You know what, I was actually just on a hunt for evidence to back you up as I would generally agree... However I just checked the latest UEFA coefficients and the Netherlands are rubbish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_coefficient#Current_ranking PLUS there isn't a team in the top 25 in the team coefficient: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_coefficient#UEFA_team_ranking So it may well be that the dutch league is actually like the scottish league... a couple of half decent teams and a load of bang-average ones...

Alph Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I've watched a fair bit of Dutch football. Defensively it's crap. Or everyone is an attacker. Not sure which. Good fun. But teams are suicidal. No surprise they aren't too hot in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
