Sorry to spam the forum... I am drinking in Frankfurt airport with a long layover.

Now we are rid of Ki-Jana Hoever, would anyone like to rank our Dutch former Wolves?

John de Wolf
Dave de Jong
Robin van der Laan
Hans Segers
Stefan Postma
Dorus de Vries
Rajiv van La Parra
Ola John
Paul Gladon
Nigel Lonwijk
Ki-Jana Hoever

With help from Google lol.

Some of those hardly even played for us, and I'd still put Hoever right near the bottom! Liverpool played an absolute blinder, convincing us he was worth £12m when Jota was worth £40m, meaning we essentially sold them Jota for the bargain price of £28m!
Good luck to Hoever, but good riddance as well.

Too many managers have complained about his attitude for there not to be something in it. For me, De Wolf has to be top of that list; what a technically gifted player he was! La Parra would also be quite high up, he blew hot and cold but on his day would skip past players for fun. ??

Yeah, it's not a strong list, is it, other than those two. Rajiv Van La Parra was probably right for us at the time, and he played for SC Heerenveen for a while afterwards. I always liked their jersey. Like a modern interpretation of Alice in Wonderland, Queen of Hearts.

But instead of croquet, they play football.

De Wolf is a legend, but the others are a bit pants for us, aren't they. I remember Ola John being great on FIFA, and jury's out on what career Lonwijk will forge. But the others, I cannot remember really doing anything in the old Gold.
