Feel like maybe could’ve done better than 2nd division in Netherlands…

[Foxes96]

Seems random, but hopefully gets some minutes. If he’s going abroad surely Leuven would’ve been a better bet?

Not good enough for Leuven?

I assume they have tried. 

[ts_1010]

Even 2nd division in the Netherlands is better than nowt, but it's not very impressive.

 

He needs to go there and catch fire big time. That would increase his reputation and value.

[Lesta Legend]

Maybe that’s his level. 

[Tuna]

Good luck to the lad, there is a player there.

[South Shire Fox]

Strange move. He could deffo of done a job in League one. Better then being in the Under 21s though

[SecretPro]

Not great is he.

[Dr The Singh]

Needs to leave and get his career on track

[BlackFox]

When first saw him play he seemed better the McAteer imo. Maybe it's an issue of confidence that stop his progress.

No.

That division is wild though - 2nd divisions in Europe tend to be more goal heavy, more games, more touches, and probably will be good to get that for him. Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy even. Hopefully he comes back with more experience

It's insane , he could put up some impressive numbers

I don't understand this at all to be honest.

How do De Graafschap become aware of his availability  and if it's not them leading on this, how on earth did we get so far down the barrel that we ended up in the Dutch second division.... I mean he may as well of gone to League 2 here!

I would imagine his agent, or Robert Huth, or both, puts the word out that he's available for loan and it goes from there. I'd imagine it's quite a small world amongst European football contacts.

[JimJams]

Maybe it's the long game. Get noticed by one of the bigger Dutch sides if performing in their 2nd. Then move on up.

I vaguely remember this...but having watched that series on Wrexham I felt like there was some recruiting portal that teams use? That has a lot of normalized data for teams to search through. Maybe through that?

[DJW1]

Perhaps they read the small ads in the Mercury: "PL team will consider reasonable loan offers for little-used forward. Also, 2nd hand rabbit hutch , 10 quid"
