The Examiner quoting the fee at £6m including add-ons - so a lower up front fee than that, which seems more realistic for what AZ would be likely to pay. Dutch media quoting it as a €4m/£3.5m initial fee.

I thought Kortrijk stayed up?Quote:

As to the standard of the Eredivisie, Opta seems to rate it as #6 in the world, one place behind the Championship.

Not bad for Spurs all the same.Quote:

Another one v Atalanta today.
Really flying the cage now.
2 goals 1 assist in 3 games for Troy. The other goal against Atalanta came from Lequincio Zeefuik - he's an absolute unit. 19 years old, 6'6, strong as an ox, quick and has great feet. Hopefully Troy scores 30+ next season and gets a move like Pavlidis did, before Zeefuik gets too good
i guess we'll find out this season what zeefuick is made of...Quote:

Apparently was a real threat in a friendly against Stoke today and then went and scored this goal. Absolutely mugged the poor keeper, a Swedish international.
He has scored in each of the 3 pre season games he has played in.
Will be intriguing to see how his season pans out. If he stays fit then he could do anything.
I watched the 1st half and a little of 2nd. He was honestly fairly quiet before the goal. Commentator even said around 25 mins that he barely mentioned his name.Quote:

Hes had a perfect start there in preseason, hopefully his best season ahead
AZ are 6/6 to start the season is a great start for him there.
Have not watched a minute of him play but from livescore seeing him only get substituted in injury time in a 1-0W is a good sign to his effectiveness early door. Or at the very least he's considered to be a much better option to what's on the bench to replace him. Hopefully to get of the mark with a goal next week to really cement his place in what looks like it'll be a competitive team in the Eredivisie.
What will they do when he scores a winner...Quote:

Watched the full game yesterday, he was excellent. His work rate making him a favorite with the fans already. He has a lovely touch, and was unlucky not to score.
If he stays fit this might be a fun season to watch
Remember Parrott was tipped to great things 5 years ago - things haven't exactly gone to plan since - but the guy has buckets of ability. If he gets a good run this season we could see a major turnaround in where he is at.Quote:

Nice to get that duck broken!
Easy enough goal but good for him to get it, there were a few negative rumblings about him already from supporters before the international break when he had no goals or assists up to that point.
