[Albion] Dahoud "In the end it just didn't work out"

Didn't he have a chronic medical condition?

Crohns or Ulcerative Colitis IIRC

Forced him to retire ...

John Piercy and the illness that wrecked a career - WeAreBrighton.com

John Piercy played 36 times for Brighton over the course of just over two years despite suffering with extreme colitis which eventually ended his career

I quite liked Piercy. Very good technique, and probably ahead of most of our players in that respect. Just never seemed to be able to get a good run of games behind him and because we required a team full of grafters at the time, we couldn't really accommodate someone who was never fit

Denis Bergkamp and Virgil Van Dyke came from the Netherlands too. although not us us unfortunately, (although the latter nearly did).

My point is that the Netherlands produces some fantastic talent, may of them succeeding in the Premier League. Why is it we only seem to get the dross?

Our scouts always stop for “a coffee” before going to watch the game.

Notes like “and when he strikes the ball it leaves a rainbow trail behind it” should have set alarm bells ringing.

I think that historically, we've signed dross from many, many nations (especially under David Burke) in part because we weren't very good. Now that we're a better team, have better scouts and the best data analytics systems in world football we can get better players.

Besides, our record with Dutch players of late has been pretty decent with JP, Veltman, Verbruggen, and even Scherpen

He was on to replace the injured Undav.

I give you Nathan Elder.

That was injury wasn't it. I don't really get this "didn't work out" thing. Why didn't it? Player couldn't
be arsed to try? Club made it difficult for him? What?

I read an interview with him a while back - actually, could have been his comments on Twitter - where he placed the blame squarely on the club doctors. No idea if that's sour grapes, but still.

Any advance on 'Not found'?

[bhafc99]

So he’s ‘gone missing’ there too, just like he did at the Albion?

There was a fairly serious allegation towards the club doctor at the time for carrying out a ‘procedure’ on him which probably shouldn’t have been

It ties in with what he once told us when we met him. The German doctor tightened his hamstring/ligaments (can't remember exactly which - I'm not medically trained) too tight, and it caused many problems - hence his prolonged absence from the first team. He credits Paul Watson with being the...

Glad he scored the winner for Stuttgart

[Hiheidi]

Saudi league??

 

[Lurchy]

Not really surprising that Stuttgart aren’t buying him. He made 13 appearances for them but most were under 20 minutes in length.

Still think a move to a Saudi club is the most likely for him.

Let him go on a free to anyone who he can agree terms with. No point him hanging around.
