Super Lars Velwijk?

Set to be announced at some point today as Pearce's second signing of the summer. Had a prolific season in the Dutch second division last time out but can he make the step up to the championship? Looking at some of the goals on YouTube, defences were somewhat lacking in quality to say the least! This could be Pearce's main summer signing so are we confident that his scouting network has picked a good 'un?

Ray, yes these things get leaked. But, if people within the club didn't say we were close to signing people it'd be different. That gets the hopes up more than reading it in the papers or wherever.

SHH, people would then accuse the club of not communicating with the fans!

From Dutch sources about 6 hours ago

Lars Veldwijk and his old club Excelsior think that the transfer of the striker to the Nottingham Forest in England will be completed soon. The attacker is now back in the Netherlands to take care of some final business and also the final paperwork between the clubs which is still to be completed.

"It is only when all the signatures are officially put to paper, but I expect it will be okay at the end of the day," explained general manager of Excelsior Ferry de Haan at RTV Rijnmond.

According to some English newspapers Veldwijk still has doubts about his move, and that would be the reason he is back in the Netherlands. But the final report on the transfer to Nottingham Forest, seems imminent.

----------------------------

Still up in the air though. He hasn't committed.

Would they Will? Isn't that just the same as every other club? If nothing happened all summer, maybe. But if we're signing people and finding out once they're signed and not before, then only an idiot would complain.

Apparently Feyenoord have first refusal on players from Excelsior as they are a feeder club. That was the hold up. Hopefully this Lars will be as magical as the other Lars that played for Forest...

We have Dorus Remember, everyone seems to forget he is Dutch and is playing for us.

................

Iwas must have been making a different point. I thought he was suggesting something as a theme that related to the transfer that fell through a couple of years back. But that would be just stupid considering the list, one of our previous dutch signings was on NLN's coaching team FGS
