Bergkamp joins Brighton

[peterward]

You don't get in the Dutch Under 21 side if you're a mug, must have plenty of potential. I'm stiffening slightly.

totally This....... Dutch national team are equal or better than England. Look at the talent in our U21, even Bobby Z and the height of his rise only bagged 6 U21 caps.

So Dutch U21 will be no mug

Remember a certain Argentinian U-21 international called Turienzo?

But, to be fair, this guy does sound like a very promising player.

 

[BensGrandad]

If Heskey moved to The Championship I would think that it is odds on it would be to Leicester and Sven.

 

[Napper]

How many times has he played for U21. Once isnt it

Absolutely, also looks like a player who'd slot into Gus's passing style of football.

I don't think as football fans we should be staring at the reality of the likely skill-level of players we're yet to see. We're bound to fantasy and pretty much every signing has to leave us with a wild imagining in our heads of a world-beating starting XI and all-star squad of wanted pros. If we signed Bobcat Goldthwaite i'd be hungry to see him play, wondering if he might befriend the small, goggle-eyed, accident-prone, bruised-husband in our squad to get up to some memorable but poorly scripted hijinx. No one should be disappointed in who we sign. It's luck and judgement combined and Gus seems to have a fairly large dose of the two inside him.

[B.H.A. Damski]

we need a scorer though

 

[Exiled in Exeter]

If we've truly signed any relation to my fave player of all time, I will spontaneously combust right now.

This.

For those of you who are questioning this signing, ask yourself - do you like the sound of this prospect or see us re-sign Chris Wood ? I'm going for the young Bergkamp every time !!!!

Bring it on

Hinshelwood and Harding both 'starred' for the England u21s

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Is he as good as Torbjorn Agdestein?

Hope you're right BG,would'nt want him here!

 

[mrbigshot]

Google

^dutch google news search for 'Roland Bergkamp'

 

[BensGrandad]

Hope you're right BG,would'nt want him here!

I wouldnt go as far as to say that provided he could stay on his feet and not keep falling over.

 

[the right footed denilson]

Just 20, experience in the Dutch top flight. Under 21 international. 6ft 4. Yes please.

 

[Arkwright]

Yep, Bergkamp and Owen up front with Heskey coming off the bench! Sorry.

Do we need young striker or one with experience? I know we all have to start somewhere but I would go for maturity every time.
