Our record over the years with Benelux players is very poor, the only good one I can think of is George Boateng, Van Gool, Rudi Kaiser, De Zoo, Dlorges, Philippe Clemente and Ellery Cairo, all a waste of time

Boateng was a bargain. He cost us something like £250k from Feyenoord

Seem to remember people raving over a video of Ellery Cairo, which turned out to be a computer simulation from Fifa or something?

Just wondering. Do you think the FL and officials would notice if we had computer simulations on the pitch?

Be great if we could cos if we lost a game we could simply not save it and reload it back up again for a second go.

When you watch that video you can't help but get a bit excited watching Hooi in action with him on one wing and Murphy the other with a pick from Cole, Maddison, Armstrong let alone anyone else we might get we have to believe this could be our year.

Aye, it was because he was going out of contract. Like somebody else says, he was excellent in central midfield so Strachan decided to play him right wing (to accommodate McAllister returning from injury).

Can't believe you lumped Boateng in with that collection of carthorses (and when I say carthorses i'm being very kind to Roger van Gool).

He hasn't he said Boateng was the only good one followed by dodgy punctuation.

Glad TM is sticking with the policy of get the player in first on trial before making a decision

Right winger currently playing in Dutch league. Few Dutch people saying he's fast but no end product but has potential and should be a small fee or for free..
Anyone know anything else about him ?

Sounds like John Williams the "flying postman"!

Agree that Boateng was a success but I'm disappointed that noones mentioned another Benelux Sky Blue hero, Cédric Roussel.

Ritchie Partridge was a player - until every team marked him with about 3 players.

I remember David Thompson also basically trying to beat teams on his own.

Both good wingers.

Got to be worth signing, if for no other reason that anytime the pub bore asks me after the game "Who Scored?", I can reply, "Yes".

Don't care Hooi is, if he can play, get him in.

I think that's exhausted the Hooi puns now, hopefully.

Seems to be similar to Kent from what I've seen, but at least he looks up and tries to cross it.
