I find it weird how Delap is now considered a bad signing for a promoted club. |  |

From what I’ve heard a few months ago there’s a good chance Lankshear ends up here, that wasn’t dependant on what league we were in. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Considering who was behind the scenes whilst he was here, I don't really blame him. |  |

Paul Cook actually sent him back to Spurrs and told him to not bother coming back… only for that decision to be reversed. Def info. |  |

OK as back but no experience of top level football a gamble we can only take if we get a striker in front of him who don't miss many games. |  | |  |

Depends which Delap comes back. The effective goal-scoring one from the first half of last season or the brainless oaf who spent the second half of the season lumbering around barging into people, giving needless fouls away and getting booked. |  |

I'm not sure many think he'd be a bad signing per se. I think almost everyone would be happy if he was signed, but he comes with cost implications, team implications etc and some feel overall it might be better to let it lie and look elsewhere. Largely irrelevant as he's being linked with bigger clubs than us. |  | |  |
| Town and Cov apparently interested in troy parrott on 08:55 - May 8 with 2499 views | DanTheMan | I might be being harsh, but the Eredivisie really doesn't seem to be what it once was and I worry that if we go for him it'll end up the same way it seems to do for a lot of players going from Eredivisie to the PL. Maybe I'm just remembering the flops though. [Post edited 8 May 9:24]

Only considered bad by posters on TWTD. By normal people, who have half a clue, he'd be a top signing. Delap, Parrot and Hirst. |  |

I'm in the 'not convinced' camp. Yes he was excellent in the first 5 months of tbe prem season, but he really wasn't on it the 2nd half. Hasn't exactly ripped it up this season. Doubt thats all Chelsea's fault. He's big and strong and a decent pace, but a year ago he was being ripped as Kane's successor - I don't hear much of that now, which tells me he's gone backwards. |  |

The same could be sent about most of our players in 2024/25. First part of the decent generally decent even though results didn't go out way. The second part, bar a couple.of exceptions, was disastrous. |  |

Kees Smit is the next ‘big’ talent to come out of the Eredevisie, AZ funnily enough. But he’d be out of our reach unfortunately! |  |

Yep, recommended him as one to watch about a month back along with Nathan De Cat at Anderlecht (who coincidentally then made his first appearance for the Belgium men's team). |  | |  |

Given Sunderland’s success signing from Belgium last summer, I’ll be surprised if we’ve not done a lot of work there this season. |  |

Other than La Liga and the Bundesliga, the difference in level is always going to be something to worry about in recruitment. Eredivisie probably a notch below Ligue Un and Serie A but as reliable a source of players as any other league. |  |
