Essentially he's a replacement for Jota. They don't have a manager at the moment. That worries me. Obviously the club is close to home so it suits on that front. I wouldn't have thought it would suit on any other front.

BLUES WIN RACE FOR CROWLEY
Birmingham have beaten PSV and Feyenoord in the race to sign former Arsenal and Aston Villa trainee Dan Crowley, according to Skysources.
The fee agreed with Willem II is believed to be worth £750k.
The midfielder is now back in the West Midlands for a medical and to discuss personal terms.
PSV would have been Ideal. 2nd last season. Managed by Mark Van Bommel. Not treading on Liam Kelly's toes.
That fee is a disgrace!Quote:

PSV or Birmingham - Brum, who are a European powerhouse, might just edge it over PSV in terms of tactical and technical football?Quote:

I count 1 opening goal, and 2 assists for Dan today vs Swindon. Impressive start.
Agree disappointing move. Probably homesick, wanted to return to midlands. Note he only signed a two year contract (option of extra year but not compulsory), in his mind his plan will be to impress prem league club this year to maneuver a move next summer whereby a reasonable offer will have to be accepted or risk losing him for free the following summer. I’d expect Willem II to have a 10% sell on clause given the low fee, similar to the 1 euro they sold De Jong for, but made 7.5m on the subsequent sale to Barcelona.
Regarding interest from other clubs, it’s very easy to get fake rumors to gain traction in these days. Transfer gossip is gone to the dogs destroyed by greedy agents
He needs to light up the championship and prove he has the physicality and attitude to move to a top league. O keefe and Redmond started that game today as well with burke a sub so I imagine they must be bit short of player s at momentQuote:

His side have had 23% possession and lead 0-1 according to BBC, so he must be doing well with the little bit of ball they have.Quote:
