Lou Pole Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 hi all, long time follower of the forum here, heard the other night at party from someone who once worked for the club (head of media) that derby have offered gio van bronckhorst a player-coach role at the club for next season, bringing him out of retirement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Player? Hope not. He's 36. I'm all for having a bit of experience in the side, but next year I'd like us to have a midfield that wasn't going to be overrun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 He was a left back, not a midfielder. So I hope this isnt a sign of how badly our left back search is going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramexpat Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 the only link that could make this rumor viable is if Metgod is friends with his fellow dutchman ,, otherwise i dont see this happening at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hucknall Ram Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 You are both right, in his day he was a wing back,so can do both midfield and defence roles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 He played in the World Cup final a year ago, and was captain of the dutch team that got there, if I am not mistaken? He would be one hell of a signing, but I believe this to be an outrageous rumour.. in summary http://www.mobileelectronics.com.au/forums/uploads/monthly_11_2010/post-41268-128903159681 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Can't see it being true but I would have a little fondle with myself in excitement if it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Can't see it being true but I would have a little fondle with myself in excitement if it was. There is a tiny TINY bit of me that thinks well Metgod was at the world cup, perhaps called on a favour.. we're looking for leaders and a left back, why not go for the world cup finalist captain and left back. Certainly would increase the numbers of neck strains in hospitals that day, as word gets around about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking along the same lines with the Metgod connection. Would love it if it happened but at the same time its just a outrageous rumour at the moment.

Smalley Ram Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 This could be fantastic - I've just told the missus and couldn't stop jibbering like an idiot. Then I stopped and thought to myself ... WUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 This could be fantastic - I've just told the missus and couldn't stop jibbering like an idiot. Then I stopped and thought to myself ... WUM I've just got all excited too. Was going on at the missus about signing him and Kuqi. Got all happy and talking about promotion. Then she says "Yeah, maybe that fella who captained in a World Cup finals can provide some good crosses for Kuqi.......... and Owen. :rolleyes:" Women. They say you can't live without 'em?

NothernRam Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Knowing our luck he will be the **** signing like Edgar Davids for Palace. No thanks. There are a lot of better options for left-back position. Move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of better options for left-back position. Move on. spot on, we're had our "experienced" players come in and what have they done?, the last success we had was Stefano, move on, the players now at the end of their careers are too rich to care, the likes of Eranio, McGrath or Mackay are hard to come by nowadays, i'd just look for a solid player who has proven division experience, would be a lot cheaper too.

RebelScum Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Are we digging up Bloomer while we're at it? It would be better then the tyson option IMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
