Interesting that at a time when our club is pursuing talent from the Netherlands, that their national football fortunes have hit an all-time low. They made the World Cup final as recently as 2010, although it was with a brutal style of play that was out of keeping with their tradition and scraped through to the semi-finals at the last World Cup, again not winning too many plaudits for their approach... since then they failed to qualify for the Euro 2016 tournament and yesterday saw the end of their prospects for next years World Cup.
They still have a few decent defenders but don't appear to be producing those great attackers anymore. All a bit of a mystery, particularly when you compare and contrast with Belgium, who are blessed with outstanding talent in all positions.
However, I think our scouts should take a look at Dennis van Duinen who plays in their 4th division... I think he has the qualities that gave Danny Hockton such a popular cult following with our fan-base... judge for yourselves..!
