Good article I found all about VDV and his stats compared to Metcalfe's
He missed 14 matches last season because of injury and subsequent knee surgery. https://www.transfermarkt.com/richard-van-der-venne/verletzungen/spieler/376675
Overall though, underwhelming response to the signing news - perhaps we're all wary because of the Pucci fiasco.
