Bergkamp joins Brighton

[mcshane in the 79th]

Sounds like the Dutch Emile Heskey then. Only joking, hope he does well for us and gets given a chance. I am half expecting Mr Burns to post a thread about how he isn't good enough for us by this time tomorrow.

 

[Icy Gull]

Is this official yet?

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Is this official yet?

Nope.

 

[Captain Haddock]

Regards the nephew thing, he could be related by marriage: if Dennis has a brother who marries a single mum or adopts a son!

Wouldn't be a blood relation but then neither is Shaun Wright-Phillips to Dennis' fellow legend Ian Wright and I wouldn't half mind SWP at The Amex!

 

[Icy Gull]

Nope.

9 pages of orgasms ( from some) and it's not even a fact? 'kin ell

 

[cannedheat]

Well if he is joining us and he turns out to be half as good as his uncle then we have a good un.

 

[Amex_Charlie]

Is he the target man we are looking for?

 

[darters74]

That's good but I reckon I prefer the 'keep the goals rolling' version!

No this one's better.........good work Albumen

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Falls into place now why Gus really didn't want Muzza here next season when BERGKAMP will be playing up front and leave Muzza to screw it up with the relegation favourites in Sarf London.

 

[darters74]

but not have the same surname...

I don't care if it's Dennis' mother's lesbian lover, he's called BERGKAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now where's that little known dutch compatriot Herbert CRUYFF!?

 

[Curious Orange]

Mike Small signed from a greek club I think & Wilkins was FC Twente.

Close... not really... Wendy joined us from FC Zwolle.

I know nothing about Bergkamp the younger, but coming from the dutch top flight is no guarantee of quality. We signed Mark Farrington from FEYENOORD. We have no idea about the lad, he could be a tremendous player signed for the first team or another player for the development squad. Let's wait and see before building him up, only to then tear him down when he doesn't have the impact of uncle Dennis.

Aren't Excelsior Feyenoord's feeder club?

Having played for us previously and been released.

That is like shouting that Case joined us from Sittingbourne, although correct it was the 2nd time, as with Wilkins

Brighton sign Roland Bergkamp | Mail Online

Bergkamp is not a close relative of former Gunners' favourite Dennis and in a Dutch TV interview in 2010 admitted he had only ever spoken to him once.

Oh dear...

Perhaps it's a bit like the tale of Pablo Picasso and his father. One day Dennis, saw Roland play aged just 15, and realised his own talent was greatly surpassed by that of his nephew, and hung up his boots immediately. A shaken and emotion Dennis, never spoke to his nephew again.

Well, I can but dream.

I'm not shouting BG, just saying which Dutch club Wendy joined us from. If the question had been which British team he joined us from it would have been QPR.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Excelsior want to renew his contract, but he rejected. He also rejected Dutch first division side Go Ahead Eagles. .

Any player who turns down the Eagles can't be all that bad.

zwolle

The point is he only signed for us from Zwolle after having left us so the term 'join' is stretching it a little
