Good thing? Do you think our youth will benefit or will we use it for Work Permit get around?

Is the quality of the Dutch League good enough? or should we be looking closer to home to loan our youth players?

Just seen someone beat me to the punch.

Can a Mod merge the two threads please?

Not sure of the reasoning for this move.

Wasn't Oduwa rumoured to be going to Holland on loan?

 

[GetSpurredOn]

Quite like this
Other clubs have done it, so glad to see we are exploring all avenues.

Is this the length we'll go to get shot of Adebayor? Send him to this lot.

As the OP this is a backdoor fir work permits

Gomelt, Yahaya, Coulibaly would all have benefit from us having such a partnership in years gone by.
Also seem a smart place to get experience for our youth, technical open league that produce top international players.

According to that article, the technical director Ton Cannan has been trying to set this up for a good few years.

It would be interesting to see what it is that Roda are gaining from the technical collaboration. Could be clubs are recognising Levy's supreme business acumen and ability to get the club consistently punching above its weight for so long.

Roda also just took a talented young Australian att mid on loan from Roma (he just moved last month from Australia) (Daniel De Silva). Don't know if Roda have any Roma connections, but could this partnership be part of a network that involves Baldini and his mates?

Maybe they have seen with all the publicity of Kane et al how strong our academy is and have seen the potential benefits of tapping into it.
