Read the post from the guy who saw him play in Sweden.(Below) Originally Posted by icehagman View Post Hooiveld might very well be a terrific signing for us, even though it is only on loan.

(An award who was won by swedish international Olof Mellberg) I watched quite a lot matches when he played, and he impressed me a lot. A big and powerful player, with decent passing skills. Not the fastest defender you have seen, but not too slow either. I highly doubt he has become that much worse in just a few seasons, although injuries have trouble him a lot.

Got to be worth try,pay as you play deal?

Thanks for this,at least you can give an informed opinion ,as you've seen him....not a knee jerk reaction like some people.

Sounds like he might work out,give him a chance .

Good point,give the guy a chance.

At least he scored a goal :

Proof will be in the pudding ,In NA we trust.

Thanks for that,nice to hear something positive about this guy.

Can't see Beckford coming to us.

No,I don't think many do.

The Carling cup seems to loose importance as years go by.

Onwards and upwards with NA!

Seriously uncool,according to my 21 year old son,but I had a test drive in one,and was impressed. They seem to well made,with a very good long warranty.

Yes he is top drawer.We are indeed lucky to have him.

I think we will nick this 1-0 0r 2-1.

Not sure who he(Bailey) source is now but I know who it used to be,& it was a good one!

I think ideally we would like 2 players fighting for each position .

Yeah we believe everything thats on SSN don't we. Think Bailey is probably better informed.

Seriously I think the current management would have got the a lot more out of him.

Part of me would like to think so,but I think he would need a lot of brain washing to turn him into a successful team player for us.

Seems like a lot of people on here have got their wish then. If he's got a dodgy ankle is just as well.

Guess we will soon find out the truth,if he completes the signing.

You could also try pistonheads.

That is a huge milestone in motoring history.

No f*cking way he'll come here.
