Boro have bid accepted for Rav Van Den Berg

[Diego]

u can always trust mark mcadam..... he's a massive fan

Excellent reporter in my opinion

 

[parmoboy]

An interesting one. Hopefully he'll be able to be involved with the first-team squad. Don't want another situation similar to the one we had with Hoppe ideally, where he was nowhere near ready to be involved.

Before I get super excited about us signing the new Gary Pallister, have we actually signed him?

According to the gazette it’s pretty much a done deal, and he‘ll go straight into the first team squad.

As I suspected, he’s for the first team. Great news

 

[Jonny Ingbar]

Could he feature at right back initially?

Seems a real coup to have signed him, wherever he plays, but he'll be ease in gradually I think.

Still waiting for the obligatory "my mate's a Zwolle fan, and he said he's shìt" post

 

[Canyoudigit]

My mates a Zwolle season ticket holder and he says he's s h I t

 

[Nero]

This kid is not a wonderkid on Football Manager, so he must be rubbish!

 

[mbg42]

Just seen his date of birth, now signing players that were born AFTER we won the league cup

 

[Andy_W]

Other signings yes, this one, no. He's already a first team player for his side with 15 first team appearances under his belt. He hasn't given that up to sit in our U21 side, no chance.

He might not be a first choice player for us, but he'd be a first back up.

I duuno like, Zwolle were in the Dutch second division last year which is about as good as league 1 (which is about as good as our reserves). We're a much better side in a much harder division.

Like you say though, not a guaranteed 1st choice player but maybe 1st or 2nd choice sub at the back.

Like the idea of it though, clearly a well thought of player, and like that we're going after cheap players who big clubs are interested in.

I'm going to clutch on to this as the green shirt highlights him to others so they know he's going out the door/ don't pass to him. A team blue, B team orange, outcasts green.

It says he's not training.

Geen is dutch for "No" .... "No Rav van der Berg" in training... because he's on his way to Boro for a medical this week.

 

[MichaelDebeve]

Geen means Geen

I thought that said green, and then didn't bother with the translation as it seemed safer to make up my own story

Sounds promising though.
