Conjo Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Not really, jonnyameobi. DR/DMC/MC, right footed apparently. Aggression, team work and work rate are good, not a single stat over 14 elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 is this kid any good on footy manager thats the question? He's very good in real life, which is more important I would say. Seriously, whenever I have seen Twente he has stood out as one of their best players. A very strong ball winner who does seem to be able to pass it around a little as well.

Unbelievable Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 So are we just going off the Daily Mail on this or are their other links?

Fatwax Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/players/player=291329/profile.html Everything you need to know about the player, the stats are a decent read aswell. 181 passes in 3 games in the World Cup with a 76% pass completion rate.

Cunning_Linguist Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 is this kid any good on footy manager thats the question? I don't think Football Manager is anything to go by, after all Patrick Kluivert was great on there around the time we signed him . . . . . . . . . . . http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/players/player=291329/profile.html Everything you need to know about the player, the stats are a decent read aswell. 181 passes in 3 games in the World Cup with a 76% pass completion rate.

Cajun Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 So although not an attacking midfielder he has a lot of energy, is good in the tackle and can pass well? That will help with the attack even if it isn't directly attacking (if that makes sense). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 If this is true then it's immense, just the sort of player we need, and never thought we'd sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 asked about him on a Dutch forum......as to if he"s any good etc To answer your question: he's a brilliant player. Extremely physically strong and remarkably technically gifted for a man with the build of a wrestler. He's only got one problem: discipline. He's always got a moment in a game where he loses it. Definitely good enough for the premiership though. Fer is actually a potential candidate for replacing Tiote at Twente! Mind you Feyenoord are in dire financial straits, Twente is not. Twente can afford to hold out for a good offer for Tiote, Feyenoord probably can't for Fer. You can't really compare Fer and Tiote mind. Tiote is more of a physical midfielder, Fer is more the creative goalscoring type. To answer your question: he's a brilliant player. Extremely physically strong and remarkably technically gifted for a man with the build of a wrestler. He's only got one problem: discipline. He's always got a moment in a game where he loses it. Definitely good enough for the premiership though. From a Twente fan, he also said this though: Well you've got to pay what Twente wants for him first! Our chairman has a bit of reputation in terms of transfer negotiations. You''ll have to pay full whack (6-8 million) and you have to pay it in one go rather than in annual installments (clubs have tried that with us at which our chairman said: Who do they think we are? A bank?") So maybe it's bollocks. Stealing my question and answers, ey? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 If we do stay up this year, with the likes of Enrique, Coloccini, Taylor, Tiote, Gosling, Barton, Jonas, etc. a bit of investment next summer again and we can definitely push on imo.
