Wout Weghorst

[Ekmek]

Don’t know much about him.

But I have a question he’s dutch and just turned 28. Why has he not played more for Holland ? It’s not like they have been blessed in recent years.

Just curious as to why and if there is a reason that anyone knows of?

He played in the dutch league until 2 years ago. There have been dutch strikers in far bigger clubs during that time.
Personally I know very little about him but he seems like a younger and even larger Bas Dost.

4 years ago.

2 years at Alkmaar
2 years at Wolfsburg

1 in 2 record for both sides.

Alkmaar is in Holland.

Firstly, 'Netherlands' not 'Holland'. We'll sweep that aside.

I think the Dutch NT prefer the 'star factor' - or at least the likes of Hiddink and Koeman. No other reason why Janssen was getting in ahead of, well, anyone.

Im half asleep, read the previous message as in league 2 until 2 years ago lol

 

[Clark28]

Is he better than the lad from Portugal?

 

[kmk]

He’s 28 and only has 4 Dutch caps which is less than Vincent Janssen.

Is Wout a late developer?

Who are we getting rid of? Surely we don't have enough room for Weghorst and the Madrid lads?

Rose? Lamela? Aurier?

 

[Wadec]

Wout, Wout, Wout is on fire.

I'll get my coat.

Well if we get Reguilon and Wout our non HG is 19, so any of Lamela, Sissoko, Foyth & Gazzaniga could well be shifted.

Rose doesn't have a squad number anyway

Luuk de Jong
Memphis Depay
Ryan Babbel
Quincy Promes

Wout’s love got to do with it.

Tina Turner, Weghorst klaxon

Dutch cap (plural Dutch caps) A type of woman's cap with triangular turn back at each side. The style is particularly associated with Dutch traditional costume. An intravaginal contraceptive device, also known as a cervical cap or diaphragm.

Played his first season in Eredevise 14/15. So quite a late developer in the modern game making his debut in the top-division at 22.

With all of the 'big' CFs we have been linked with, I believe he is the best option.

I'd have taken Vinicius but I believe signing a CF who has proven himself very well from the Bundesliga is a better option. Players from there do tend to adapt better, no guarantees but it's probably safer.

I like that he's very good at hold up and linking with others, but I also noticed he's quite a strong character, motivates quite a lot. His finishing is decent, although I've seen him make a mess of easy chances but he should get plenty of chances with us. Good in the air, and is a handful.

He's quite similar to Dost in that respect but Dost is useless with link up play.

 

[carpediem991]

I want him over probably every striker target bar Edouard.

 

[SDogg]

so...... are we all changing avatars to Wout today?

First game against Leeds, Weghorst gets his leg broken.

The headline in the Yorkshire Post:

WOUT TAKEN OUT

 

[JacoZA]

Seriously though, what's the correct pronunciation here? He's Dutch right, so I'm reading it as "Vote".
