He also says:
“It’s important for a footballer of my age that I play. Of course you never get that guarantee, but there is a good chance that ADO Den Haag does. If I embark on a new adventure, then that opportunity is a bit smaller, of course."
Which sounds like we were honest to him that he would be coming in as a backup to Pinto, with the opportunity to challenge him for a starting role. Apparently what we offered was not enough for him to be prepared to do a Winston Bogarde, so he'd rather consider a new ADO offer (which would undoubtedly be lower than we are offering) and be pretty confident that he'll start every week. I wouldn't call that money grabbing, but commendable.
