You've obviously not seem much of Dutch or Belgian football if you think it's better than the Championship. A few teams may be better, but most of them are crap.
He failed to make it at Ajax. Anderlecht are pretty crap - pretty much the standard of a championship side but he failed to get in the side there. Gawd only knows what the standard of his last club was - Conference or worse presumably, since they're handing out amateur contracts.
Erm...a player who came through a youth system, was sold for £1.3 million failed to make the grade and was then shipped out to a nondescript league where he failed to play or make an impact. Rounding off, he is picked up on a free as his team don't want to offer him an extension to his contract and we 'beat' others to him?
Maybe he will be OK but he's not an amazing signing nor has he experience of playing top flight Dutch league footy.
All of this is simply a precursor to pointing out that when you say "the Dutch league is miles better than the Championship will ever be" you demonstrate yourself to be a total tit.
I rest my case, your honour......
