Fans didn't want Weghorst, however, I think that he would have been a real asset to us last season. After the treatment that he received pre-season with fans booing him I reckon that VK thought that, by using Wout in the team, it would harm his own standing with the fans.
We shall never know, however, I have backed Wout right from the start and particularly in his quest to play top level football in order to put himself up for selection to the Dutch team. I would have done exactly the same.
