Bergkamp off back to Holland - VVV-Venlo - one year loan (merged)

[ChazzyBHA]

Albion misfit Roland Bergkamp has returned to Holland with VVV-Venlo on a season-long loan.


The 21-year-old striker joined Albion last summer but is yet to make his first team debut.


Boss Gus Poyet said: "Roland is a great lad and good professional but things haven't worked out quite as we hoped.


"At his age and at this stage in his career he needs to be playing regular senior football and this is a good opportunity for him."


Bergkamp had a loan spell at Rochdale last season, where he made three appearances in League One.

He joined Albion from Dutch side Excelsior, where he scored eight goals in 56 appearances.

Agreed a one year loan with VVV-Venlo...

Didn't really require two threads

Bergkamp off back to Holland

Good luck to him - though am slightly surprised an Eredivisie club (albeit a struggling one) came in for someone who can barely get a game in our DS. Maybe this lad hasn't kicked on quite as quickly as they'd hoped:

Another one of the wage bill.

You never know, he may come back a better player.

Nice comments from Gus despite the obvious struggle he has had to include Bergkamp.

Contracts up at the end of the season, that's him gone.

VVV-Venlo? Did the guy who founded the club have a stutter?

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

I've played and scored against Venlo!! O Bergkamp this is very funny.

Probably bedazzled by the surname, same as we must have been.

Best of luck to him, hope he might come back to us a better player...

Apart from the top few teams in Holland, the rest are terrible.

Southampton signed a Japanese defender from Vvv-venlo today.

We've "seen" the last of him.
