    Players from Holland

    I am rather surprised we have not been linked with more Dutch players considering Steve's connections in the Netherlands. Let's not forget Steve can speak Dutch, as we have heard on You Tube, so the language should not be a barrier

    Let's see a double Dutch signing!

    I think the Dutch FA have put a cap on how many players can play abroad.

    Similar to a wage cap this cap imposed by the Dutch helps prevent unwanted surprises.

    Oh right, that is news to me, but would explain why we have not looked to the Dutch leagues a bit more.

    I don't think they can do that. It's the EU, not really abroad and players are free to ply their trade anywhere within that locality.

    They got an opt out due to the strong argument from Dutch Premier Der Spuncker. It got crossed leg support from various groups.

    Sorry I thought this to be a serious topic. We've have had one Dutch signing this pre-season if you were to be interested.
