god bless google translate: "The Super Farmer Ridder to Southampton ' Steve De Ridder exchanges the Eredivisie for the English Championship, the second level of England. The winger De Graafschap according Omroep Gelderland makes the move to Southampton. De Ridder has long listed for the county in exchange for a new club. In earlier also showed interest in AZ and FC Utrecht, the Belgian striker. In addition, SV Zulte Waregem, the current employer of coach Darije Kalezic in the market. Doetinchem De Ridder had a contract for one season. The county wanted to break his contract, but the attacker was not taken up the offer of the club. It is not known what amount Southampton will cough up the transfer to achieve. The Knights played since 2008 for De Graafschap. In his first season, the player has no basic position, but the last two seasons he was one of the trendsetters.
Apparently De Graafschap have removed him from their squad list on their OS. I haven't heard anything about price, and just like you guys, I too know nothing about him and am hardly impressed by his stats. But then as I recall, I wasn't impressed with Guly's stats when we signed him either. And I was proved wrong then.
Pacey forward/winger with a horrible scoring record. Belgian Jonathan Forte? And no, he's not related to Daniel.
dutch media say he has left to join us( in broken dutch) Currently playing for De Graschaap (spelling) he is quite young and they seem very keen on him from previous reports on him. I didnt think Daniel was too bad in his day?
It's been confirmed on our OS now. (PS. What happened to us using the main thread at the top for these things. Started the summer off nicely, with all of using it. But now a new rumour thread seems to pop up every day).
Already two threads about his signing being confirmed have jumped up. It's turning into 606 again And in the time it took for me to post this a third popped up. Sigh...
This is his record of apps and goals (goals in brackets): 2004–2008 Gent 1(0) 2006–2008 → Hamme (loan) 50(22) 2008– De Graafschap 93(12) Can't understand why we'd want him unless the scouts know something we don't?!
They do. They're professional football scouts, we have never seen this man play. It's safe to say they know something we don't.
I miss JP. Considering I want us to sign a top CB during this transfer window, he would certainly be one who'd please me and fullfill my wish!
IN NC WE TRUST. Looks like the NA/NC dream team have done it again. Noone heard any leaked rumours of this one un til it was a done deal. Well done NC - smooth as silk.
in fairness to the other posters, the title of this one is a bit vague "another foreign rumour" if it had inclided his name them maybe people would not have started so many
Totally agree. I've got mates that are suddenly all angry that we've been linked to Boa Morte and Matt Taylor in the past 24 hours....WHY? Just ignore it. Cortese has proved time and time again that he keeps things behind closed doors. If a player is linked to us, you can almost certainly rule out them coming and this can thus ignore the rumour.
