On fire for duesseldorf tonight

Gosh

Poor lad.

Go Rouwen.

Dodgy vindaloo ?

He's dampened down a bit now.

Is it just me who immediately connects Dusseldorf to a bunch of Geordies with a smattering of Yam Yam's, Cockneys, Brizzle and Arsonist Scousers?!

A great advert for football the games had everything .

A cracking game, really enjoyable to watch. A good advert.

Gut gemacht Rouwen - weiter so !

What's he done?

Exactly what I was thinking, Steve.

Scored a great headed goal an assist and played very well to take dusseldorf to the top of bundesliga 2.

I think we would certainly have a more varied option on the the bench if we kept him. I feel sorry for the guy moving over here only to end up back in Germany. Must have disrupted his family quite a bit.

Good luck to him, I wanted him to do well for us!

Had high hopes when we signed him but ultimately wasn't good enough to get into our team in the Championship.

I don't see it he will see it as disrupting his life. More like adding to it.

Living in burnley adds to nothing.imo

Nothing to feel sorry about - he no doubt earned more money in his transfer to Burnley than he has done in his whole career.

He was clearly looking for a move to England - nearly going to Sheff Wed.

I am sure he has no regrets as he tried to better himself at a higher level and sure he learnt loads both on and off the pitch at Burnley.

He seemed a decent bloke and I remember him signing autographs for kids and laughing and joking before a game when I was in the corporate box one home game.

These lads have a brilliant life - even when they are not getting in the team.

He might, but having settled with his family here only to go back I'm not sure they did.

I moved around with my job. It's no big deal.

This is true.

But let's remember that it was a Championship winning side that he couldn't get into.

Mayhap he'd have walked into a few of our sides in the recent past and perhaps -with enough game time- he'd have been a steady 2nd tier player?

Who knows? Good luck to the man.

Totally agree, but to suggest he'd have been a good bench option now at a Premier League club, which is what I was commenting on, is not being a steady 2nd tier player.
