I've been meaning to ask you Bier - I like the look of the lad but what's your take on Luc Castaignos; do you reckon he could perform in the Premier League?
Right now, no. In a few years, maybe, probably at some point. I was really impressed with him 4 years ago at Feyenoord. Then he went to Inter and failed there, came back to Twente, and haven't been that impressed since to be honest. Especially as far as skill and technique goes. When he was younger I thought he might turn out like a Henry type striker, but he just doesn't have anywhere that talent. Still, he'll turn out to be an ok striker, perhaps a good one at a later age. It sucks, because us Dutch are in dire need of a good young striker. After Van Persie and Huntelaar there's nobody, and they're getting on. Compare that to our days of having to pick from Kluivert, Bergkamp, van Nistelrooy, Makaay, Hasselbaink etc. The first interesting top potential Dutch striker is just 18 years old still, Richairo Zivkovic. But he'll need a few years even if he does develop well.
