Frank van der Struijk is the Dutch defender on trial with United.

Arab_plumber · 26/8/2016 9:15 am

Expected to sign early next week seemingly

Tek · 26/8/2016 9:36 am

Yip heard the deals done and dusted.

Must be waiting for the Souttar transfer to be complete before finalising it.

bowers · 26/8/2016 9:37 am

Heard he was signing monday still waiting has me thinking we are waiting on the souttar money before this happens.

SuperMario · 26/8/2016 9:41 am

Will he not be the one who Mckinnon thought he could sign yesterday

Tek · 26/8/2016 9:41 am

Has had a bit of an inauspicious career but can boast an Olympic Gold medal for being part of the Dutch U21 squad who won the tournament in Beijing.

Played for Vitesse for 6 years, just waiting on hearing back from an Vitesse boy i met out there last year to hear what he's like.

Possibly as said had heard he was signing monday and still not so seems a hold up somewhere

He's a cult hero for Vitesse Arnhem for doing this against there's big rivals NEC that he's known as Frank 2 fingers.

But from a playing side he says he's a good defender and know's what to do.

I really hope he signs, think i've found my new favourite player already.

I like Sean Dillion the person if that helps...

Imagine Frankie boy doing that at Ibrox.

Be SCENES.

Rocky Raccoon · 26/8/2016 3:12 pm

Hopefully we get back to Ibrox

SuperMario · 26/8/2016 3:24 pm

Think this signing will mean toshney moves into centre half and frank will move in to right back

David_Blunkett · 26/8/2016 3:39 pm

The manager has been on about needing a centre half, he's here to play centere half imo.

If the intention was to play Toshney at CH, he'd have played him there last week instead of Dillon, Ayr offered no real threat from wide positions, so Dillon could've played there where he's less likely to cause damage.

SuperMario · 26/8/2016 4:24 pm

Not true, when he signed McKinnon went on about how he can play a number of positions and that was one of the factors in him signing him! Dillon has got nothing to do with this

David_Blunkett · 26/8/2016 4:38 pm

We are rotten at CH, not one of the current options fills me with any confidence, if Toshney can play CH, you'd play him in there surely and he'd be first pick.

£10 Charity bet says if all are well and fit New Guy is always CH, Toshney RB.

Wasn't meant to be a go at Dillon post, but imo he shouldn't play anywhere near CH, if he plays it's RB.

Am I correct in saying our last Dutch defender was benneker around 1996? Hope to fuck he's better than he was

You've forgotten the legend that was Timothy van dear Mullen , houstons worst signing?

Rocky Raccoon · 26/8/2016 6:53 pm

Benneker would stroll into this side.

Sadly your 100% correct the decline in standard is frightening, players that are absaloutely shite actually look decent in today's spl or championship
