Dear Davey

[sarabella]

Dear Mr. Moyes (since I KNOW you read BigSoccer):

Since you seem to have some problems making decisions in the transfer market, please allow me to assist you. I've done a bit of reading and, apparently, RKC Waalrijk striker Rick Hoogendorp is listed as for sale (http://www.v-bal.nl/nieuws/bekijk.php?id=8309&newstitle=Aanbieding%20voor%20RKC-speler%20Rick%20Hoogendorp) (translation below). If you have any sense in your head whatsoever, sign this guy on the cheap. From what I've seen, he's a great forward and I think he and Beattie would make one powerful combination up front. Oh, and the best news of all - he can finish!

Sincerely,

A Concerned Evertonian



Translation of article:

RKC Waalwijk have offered their #9 Rick Hoogendorp a contract extension through mid-2007. There is a lot of interest in Hoogendorp, other than SC Heerenveen, and RKC have already stated that no clubs have contacted them yet.

"We will talk with everyone next week," said manager Henry van der Vegt, and Hoogendorp's agent Arnold Oosterveer mentioned that there was some international interest.

Dont be silly,;)

The club dosent have enough brass to rub together to afford the air fair for our scouts to look at players from abroad.

Nearly all of the players that we have been linked with have been based in the UK. Maybe this is because of the Kroldrup mess with him not settling in this country but it does worry me that we are more than likely gonna over pay for a player such as Trundle were as for the same price we could get someone alot better.

I'll scout Holland for him for free! C'mon Davey! Screw these English bastids. Go Dutch - you won't regret it!

Does going Dutch mean that the new striker has to pay his own way...........

Awesome. I wish I could rep you.

And ya know - I never realized how true some stereotypes could be until I moved here! :D

You know as I was typing it, I realized it is a stereotype and not just some saying I had always heard. A buzzer kind of went off in my head. It's a small and crazy world.
