The young Dutch lad Veldwijk is currently having a medical with the Reds, I have read that he is costing £500,000 with add ons. His stats are very good but the league he has been playing in isn't top notch, will need an old head who scores goals alongside him in my opinion.

Dont think we will be getting him that cheaply 30 goals in 38 games in a league similar to league 1 isn't bad going height and age on his side too

I'm not getting too excited with Veldwijk. He's scored a lot of goals in a very sub-standard league. The likes of Proschwitz came to the Championship having good records in foreign second tiers and he's even struggling to start matches at Barnsley! Plus, we've already had our fingers burnt with Abdoun and Djebbour.

I'll be reserving judgement until I've seen him in the Garibaldi Red. God knows how people get excited over video clips on a certain tube channel.

Fryatt and weldwijk would be ok.
Weldwijk as scored but it looks well a poor league but for 500k worth punt. Fryatt we know will score at championship level. Think we need Wilson aswel
To had pace. Then that would be forwards sorted.

{Ed034's Note - hi pal. welcome back

Will be more like 2 mil

{Ed034's Note - this is the price being quoted in a dutch newspaper

500k plus add on perhaps, wouldn't of thought 500k inc add ons that seems to cheap,

i'll wait till he signs though look what happened with the other dutch lad who was signing then thought he get home sick

Difficult one with the Dutch lad. I'll reserve judgement till I see him play. I looked at djebbours Video clips, his goal scoring stats in a good league and the champions league pedigree and thought he would tear the championship up. Look how that turned out!

{Ed034's Note - no different to any other signing I suppose

Totally agree with stevessuttonswonkeyeye!

He looks like Crouch but faster!

See it this way he has a better strike rate than assomolonga in a similar division and we are paying at least three million less than what we would for the peterborough lad

The young lad looks like he can score with both feet and his head, his positioning and runs into box look good to, though his control and first touch do need work on, but most gangly forwards have the same trouble!

Good investment at 500k will get on the end of a few Reidy crosses n corners.

Would like to see Fryatt at the city ground, reminds me of jack lester always going to cause defenders problems and likely to create or score. Hopefully add Wilson to the mix and you got a forward line that should give plenty defences cause for concern a last.
