The only contribution he made today was being substituted.

The guy is totally useless and how he ever made a living as a professional footballer is beyond me. Slower than a wet weekend in Arbroath and as useful as a 3 foot basketball player

When does his contract run out?

**Hibeesb0unc3** · 15-01-2011 03:18 PM

hopefully when its burned after his first half season performance

**GreenPJ** · 15-01-2011 03:20 PM

Is he any worse than some of our "star" players?

Noticed that Calderwood never even looked his direction as he trudged off. No consoling pat on the back or words in his ear.

Not sure what it signifies if anything but he was more animated with the other subs.

He must keep thinking that Yogi bought this guy and that he couldn't surely have seen him play beforehand

**NAE NOOKIE** · 15-01-2011 03:23 PM

In a team playing as poorly as they could be he stands out as bloody useless.

The fact that he came back out after half time makes me really worry about Calderwoods ability as a manager.

I have said since the game aginst Maribor at Easter Road that the guy is a dud.

We will end up having to pay him off, as no-one will take him off our hands - he is hopeless.

Hughes has a lot to answor for - Yogi you should have watched him in the flesh rather than relying on video footage!

**gobragh1875** · 15-01-2011 03:24 PM

we have the only dutchman who cant play football makes john rankin look good lol

Is this as serious question ?!?

Hs IS one of our "star players". He was our headline banner signing this season (remember him featuring heavily in the new shirt photos?)

It is the fact that he is one of our start players that makes it all the more disappointing. The worst dutch player ever to play in Scotland. He is rank.

apart from van bommel at the WC and about 1 or 2 others he could be possibly the worst dutch player to ever play football

De Graff has been dreadful all season, shocking. It appears that the likes of Booth, Stephens and Byrne are now being considered ahead of Hart, Hogg and Rankin who were nowhere to be seen. Lets hope Sean Welsh can push on a bit because his potential will undoubtably see the end of the Dutch Wooden Top.

**Greenblood70** · 15-01-2011 03:34 PM

Up there with O'Brien as one of our most disappointing signings.

There doesn't seem any end to the things he can't do...run, tackle, pass, score etc etc etc.

Pay him off asap.

He could always get a job modelling cloggs

***matty_f*** · 15-01-2011 03:42 PM

I don't think he even kicks the ball properly, as far as I can tell his style is to just run into the ball and let it bounce off him.
He was hopeless today.

**At The Edge** · 15-01-2011 03:52 PM

should maybe wear velcro boots and stick some on the ball as well, as thats the only way hes ever going to be able to control the ball, wouldn't even have him in my subbuteo team!

Absolutly shocking today

And has been worse than hopeless all season!

**truehibernian** · 15-01-2011 03:56 PM

There isn't even a footballer in there. Can't run, can't track and tackle, can't pass, can't score.

Get rid if we can in summer.

***3pm*** · 15-01-2011 04:09 PM

I am not a fan but there must have been something there to get the Dutch 'B' caps. At times he will pass the ball with purpose and accuracy. However, it's very rare.

The SPL appears to be too quick for him. He doesn't get the time he needs to set himself and consequently rushes and gives the ball away or it's nicked off him. He's very awkward and can't move right, a good spray of WD-40 might help.

His time might be up in the summer. It should be but time will tell.

The problem is that no-one will take this dud off our hands. We will need to resort to paying him off - Disgrace.

At least De Graaf got himself about and at least tried.......
Can't say the same for the majority of that so called team of ours.

***Bostonhibby*** · 15-01-2011 04:33 PM

hopeless, absolutely hopeless, Yogi must have bought him on the strength of a video from a few seasons back. Bears no resemblence to the player Yogi was rambling about when he described him at the time of the signing.

The only thing he tried was my patience. One of the worst players in a long list of midfield duds over the years. How yogi could watch that performance today from de graaf and still try to defend himself is beyond me

**Gala Foxes** · 15-01-2011 04:52 PM

He is murder

**Hibs90** · 15-01-2011 04:56 PM

I wouldn't say he was a bad player as such but he can't adapt to the Scottish style. Pretty simple. Get rid asap.

Yes. Much worse than all of them.

**euro Hibby** · 15-01-2011 04:57 PM

must have seen him on one of his many midweek scouting missions with brian rice. I don-t think they play midweek football in Holland !

If he's reading this thread, here's a little something that may be of use to him

**Andy74** · 15-01-2011 05:00 PM

A guy we've booed and not supported since he had a couple of missed and we wonder why he's not fitted in?

Must wonder all in all what he's come to.

Like everyone he is struggling just now but there's a player in there. And he is at least showing some effort.

***NORTHERNHIBBY*** · 15-01-2011 05:01 PM

i always thought that maybe one or two goals, or a run of good performances would kick-start his time at Hibs but I can't see it happening for him now. Looks a re-run of AOB. Looked quality on paper.

At least AOB had pace. I can't think of anything this boy has
