jpg75 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 According to FSF on Big Soccer, Will Johnson has re-signed with Heerenveen and will be loaned to Heracles for next season. http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11350489&postcount=35 I asked him to confirm with a link...

loyola Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 That would be an excellent move for Will Johnson while I hope Friend would get the opportunity to go back to Heerenveen first squad next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 From what I can make out of the article with my German, it seems like Johnson has been signed for two more years and will be loaned out not to Heracles but to De Graafschap. De Graafschap is winning the 2nd division by a big margin this year and will be promoted to the 1st division next year so it should be a chance for some playing time for Johnson.

In addition, the deal includes a two-year club option after the inital two years. It also said that his 4-goal performance in a recent reserves cup match had a major impact on the change of heart and decision to re-sign him. He has scored 15 goals for the reserves this season (6 in league play, 9 in the reserve cup), playing mostly as an attacking midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Oranje Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Front page coverage http://www.degraafschap.nl/ Well, from Holland's Dairyland to the "Farmers" of Holland's back corner (Achterhoek). This is another interesting small city to play in. While this is a small club that does the flip flop between the top and second level, it does have some interesting connections. For example, it was Guus Hiddink's local club growing up and his first professional club as a player. It is also not that far from Eindhoven so one can imagine the informal linkages between the two clubs. Vitesse Arnhem is nearby and Germany just a short drive away. I agree that he should get lots of playing time there. I also suspect it could be fun attending a game here if you're into small club ventures. Couldn't resist posting the first verse of a club chant (and rough translation) De superboeren uut de Achterhoek... (The super Farmers from the back corner) Hup de Graafschap, hup de Graafschap... (Hooray for Graafschap, Hooray for Graafschap) De superboeren uut de Achterhoek... (The super Farmers from the back corner) De mooiste club van ’t hele land... (The best club in the whole country) http://home.wanadoo.nl/maarten.geluk/songs/graafschap.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
