Millenniumram Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Never heard of him, but I had a cracking Groningen save on FM once so I’m in! In all seriousness, Groningen are a pretty decent side in a good, technical league. To be their captain, in what appears to be a pretty strong defence, is no mean feat. He’s got pedigree, that’s for sure. You’d hope/ expect someone with his CV to come over here and be a pretty top quality player at this level, once he settles in. And if we can get the deal done now rather than the summer, we’ll be able to give him time to do so. On paper I’d say this is exactly the sort of deal we should be doing this window - he’s 27 and on a permanent - in order to start building a side ready for the start of next season. If we reckon he’s any good, get it done and give us summat to talk about please!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t let the odd player not working out restrict our scouting range. Hopefully if we sign this lad it’ll signal a return to signings from abroad.

Heisenberg Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Who remembers the name Danny Buijs? He’s currently the manager of FC Groningen. Clough was close to signing him for Derby in 2010 but the deal broke down and we went for Brayford instead. Buijs then joined Kilmarnock as Bryson’s replacement! Funny how these things turn out.
