Id take him in a heart beat

If you mean Gbamin then not really, part of Gbamin's appeal was supposed to be his physicality in the middle.
Klaassen has ruined the Dutch league for me.
But the boy certainly knows how to strike a ball.
When signing a player from a lesser league such as the Dutch league I think you have to start with pace and physicality. If they don't have that they more often than not they will not prosper in the Premiership.
Davy Klaasen is a good player but lacked both real pace and had very little physicality . However, as soon as he went back to a less demanding league he did well again.
The premiership will be faster and more physical than most leagues. Players will struggle after they arrive but if they have the right attributes they can adapt if given time.

It doesn't mean you have to sign only big and fast players though. Just that when under pressure they have the technique to deal with it. Jorginho and David Silva are examples.
Sorry for my belated reaction. I'm by no means an expert on the Dutch league tbh. Don't really watch much Dutch footy apart from following my local team Fortuna Sittard all over the country. From what I've seen of Koopmeiners, there clearly is some potential there. Just not sure if he's ready to have an immediate impact on the Premiership.

He's gonna need Cenk's hair transplant contact number shortly
I don't think Klaassen has exactly ripped it up in Germany either has he? I think he was just a very very average player that we massively overpaid for to be honest, he wasn't really suited to the PL but mainly he was just not very good.
You may well be right but I suspect that Phil Jones or Tom hudlestone would look outstanding in the Dutch league
He suited Ajax's system very well , playing between the lines and making runs into the box.
He wasn't tracked because generally speaking the Dutch don't favour a disciplined midfielder
Yeah that would make sense. I'd seen very little of him in Holland but from the very first friendly he played for us he just looked really ordinary, there was nothing remotely exciting about him.
I remember a cracking night out in Sittard watching Sparta get a point there and then driving to Dusseldorf.
Enjoyed , if that's the right word , a Chinese meal in a restuarant in the town square in Sittard.
Liked your new ground though. Bijou and compact but still a decent atmosphere.
I'd describe him as a hard working player , with suprisingly for a Dutchman, limited technique .
Although he is a midfielder he can't play in a 2.
He is a No10 but without the creativity.
That sums up the little I saw of him here pretty succinctly I think.
