Nicko saying Blackburn move for Dutch striker. 

22 year old 6ft3 striker with 3 goals in 20 odd appearances last season.

He scored 19 and had 5 assists in the season before (23-24). Albeit in the Dutch 2nd division.

Looks quite quick so that's a positive. Will be an option behind Yuki who I presume will be a starter.

Scored 19 in 36 the season before in the Dutch top flight. 
 

Clearly lots happening in the background- let’s see who we get.

[Emerald Isle Rover]

It’s the start of many names I’d say over the weekend 

unless something is done already and kept quiet nothing will happen today or tomorrow so itl be Sunday/Monday I reckon before there’s any further movement 

[rob_of_the_rovers]

Seems like a Leonard replacement. Young and with some potential. Did well a couple of seasons ago in the Dutch second division but half of his goals were penalties.

[MarkBRFC]

Not sure he would qualify for a ESC place?

Another relegated player then?

[jim mk2]

Is he as good as Maceo Rigters?

[Wegerleswiggle]

Could be the new Brereton I reckon.

Not a spectacular highlights reel but glad we are moving on from Soumano 

It is a spectacular understatement from yourself though 🤣. Good grief, he looks woeful.

They finished 7th in the top Dutch league

[Trinidad Rover]

Thats more like it - the cheap option!

That was in the second division. Then Go Ahead bought him.

Bit of a strange link. Scored a good amount in the second dutch league but many were penalties and hasnt adapted to the top flight.

As @MarkBRFC said would he even be able to sign or would he need an ESC place?

Doesn’t mean anything about the player. 3 goals in 22 apps in the Dutch top flight doesn’t look good.

I really wish we’d sign Jizz Hornkamp! Wow, what a name! 🤣🤣🤣👀

Ah OK. Thanks.

Not getting great vibes off that one. Presumably not good enough for the Dutch top flight.

Is 6ft 3" though so would fit in Val's Valley of the Giants.

Go Ahead Eagles won the Dutch cup last season beating AZ on penalties. Smit played the whole game (didn’t score or assist).

I’ve been watching a bit of the Dutch second division since visiting FC Volendam in February. Their striker scorer 52 goals in two seasons at the second division level.

Now playing in the Eredivisie he hasn’t scored a goal this season, it seems to be quite a big jump in class from the second division to the Eredivisie.

Scores 14 points if the website is accurate which is 1 short. Don't know if you can appeal something like that. Wilsden is the guy who would know

Wow, is that some sort of pennance for something? 🙂

The standard in the Eredivisie is a lot lower than the PL Id say, is that the same for their second tier compared to ours?

[FE123]

3 goals and 3 assists in 22 games in his debut season in the top flight after an excellent season year before in the league below.

Lets have it right, if he’d banged a load of goals in last season as well, he wouldn’t be coming here, especially with his profile of being 6 ft 3 and quick.

Another gamble, but I think they can afford to do so with Yuki and Gueye in the squad

Sounds all set up for a failed appeal 

[Norbert Rassragr]

His stats look a load of Smit but let's hope he has a couple of wonder seasons like Brereton when he added the Diaz to his name. 

I'm uncertain he will though.
