Sexydadbod Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 If Mel has managed to persuade Cocu then you have to give huge credit to him. Cocu on paper is an ideal fit. He’s a more proven manager than Lampard, he doesn’t have the negative celebrity status that Lampard brought, it was almost the Frank Lampard show at times and our club didn’t matter. We also don’t have to put up with the patronising nonsense by Lampard’s friends and family in the media every week about how Lampard single handedly turned us into a free flowing attacking exciting team because they just happened to see a handful of games and formed their opinions based on that. Meanwhile Cocu is just as respected around Europe as Lampard so we shouldn’t miss out on the attracting player recruitment side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be okay though - Take the most expensive transfer out of there every season and it looks relatively affordable on our budget - And then bear in mind he was singing players to win a tier 1 league and we're trying to win the championship - The dutch league may not be as strong as the german or even french leagues but it's still arguably stronger than the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People just bash the league and the French league but a lot of stars have developed out of both leagues and there are many bargains to be had. I think a lot of Derby fans are a bit hesitant to sign foreign players because Albentosa and Camara didn’t work out but that really shouldn’t put us off. Look at some of the successful foreign players we had in the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albentosa’s family were home sick, you can’t plan for them circumstances. Foreign players have mostly been good for the club over the years. Idiakez was my hero growing up, signed him for nothing and is one of the best set piece takers I’ve ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanRam Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 i‘ll be happy with cocu beeing our new manager. Followed him during his managerial career at PSV.

He helped to develop Depay and gave him his first chance in the first team. In 14/15 and 16/17 he barely spent anything and in 15/16 and 17/18 he just spent the money he earned from player sales. We already have Bogle, but if he can develop any other young players to the point where they are worth £15 million or more it should provide enough funding for what he wants to do.

Would expect the move from Netherlands to England to be a lot easier than say Spain to England, or Netherlands to Turkey. The climate is roughly the same and you can fly from East Midlands to Amsterdam in just over an hour, return trip just over £100. Probably be quicker to fly in from Amsterdam and travel to Moor Farm in the morning than get past Marketon Island if it's still as bad as I remember it to be. Also handy when they are fluent with the local lingo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I imagine it's easier for a player to settle if the manager is of the same nationality (Or least speaks the same language). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder at times whether clubs pay attention to the human side of transfers - I'm sure the Albentosa's had a baby at around the same time as they moved - So, young child, sleepless nights, no support network of family/friends around, first time parents etc etc - There's no wonder his concentration was a bit all over the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
