27 tomorrow.
With our squad age profile that makes him Old Man Kemper.
He doesn't look like a spectacular signing but as you say he does tick quite a few boxes for where we needed to beef up so on the whole it looks like a positive move. |  | |  |

Interesting stats - as mentioned the slowness of getting back, and what's going on with that crossing completion? Reads a bit odd for someone who says he has a good cross, has played in the Dutch top flight etc. |  | | |

Given he was joint top scorer last season with 5 from left back perhaps their strikers are just toilet. His crossing looks alright in the clips |  | | |

Looks like he crosses quite early too. No need to get to the line and some nice words to say to a felled opponent.
Not much age difference with Field…..still, two extra years of project and a free transfer. As long as we pay his wages in Guilders we should be golden. |  |

I know FA about him Norf but looking at the video's and the write up - I think he could be very decent for us. I like the way he moves, gets forward, scores and throws in crosses.
We will see. |  | | |

Great analysis. Thank you.
Be interesting to see how we go with our recruitment and selling this window.
Pressure now on Christian Nourry to deliver results - now is the time.
Will he deliver or is it all talk? Time will tell. | |

A mixed bag of pros and cons with our new Boy to add to the extra risk of signing a player from abroad.
Looking at the positives he was a Captain, is vocal and stays fit. The two games he missed last season were due to an illness and a three yellow card suspension.
According to Footy Stats he commits 1.24 fouls per game which seems very low for a full back.
Good luck Boy and welcome to our club. |  | | |

Born in the last century, you say? Probably uses correct punctuation in his texts. |  |

Plenty of experience with relegation. |  |

Looks like the right kind of signing to me, now to see if it pans out. | | | |

The only downside I can see is we'll have an eternity of jokey phrases containing “Boy”
I expect I'll be as bad as any - worse probably. |  | | |

Embrace it, Colin, embrace it. For it is written.
Edit: This, just in from AI Overview (and it’s not good news) … “Countless songs feature the word ‘boy’ in their titles across almost every genre”. [Post edited 20 Jun 17:34]

In that case let me just say ‘Boy Wonder’ before you (or anyone else for that matter) does. | | | |

In many respects it’s a pity his previous club wasn’t Winslow United, currently competing in the Premier Division of the Spartan South Midlands Football League. Because then he would be ... The Winslow Boy. | | | |

Can’t be any worse than RND |  |

That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

I was interested in Dave Mc's comment today that we're "...exploring the possibility of signing another left-back later in the summer." Have you heard anything about this, Clive?
In the article you seemed to suggest we might loan in a keeper. If that happened it would be a bit of a signal that the club is going for it this season. |  | | |

I think the place of origin is Purmerend. Near Edam. Amsterdam commuting town. A dull place. |  | | |

Dull is good. Not sure I could cope if he came from anywhere exciting. | | | |

"For me, it's also a big challenge to get the club where they belong - a club like this belongs in the highest level."
*Asks agent who this club is again*
"I think there will not be a winger that will say they like to play against me"
I like this. |  | | |

No on the left back, I knew we’d do this and I’m pleased we have but I thought they’d persist with Esquerdinha as cover because they don’t like admitting mistakes. Glad to hear he might be on his way as well.
Gk I’ve said that’s what I’d do, I’m not sure it’s what they’ll do. A decent keeper would lift us 6 places though so let’s hope. | | | |

You can get away with an average LB, not an average CM. This signing points to where any money we have will be spent. Thank God.
His height will be a big plus in both boxes from set pieces, but I'm not expecting any fireworks going forward. | |
