Kanj Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Massively excited about his potential. We needed a focal point in our attack with some height and presence. He seems to be a good technical player which we sorely needed up front through the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Why am I underwhelmed at this signing? Had it been a year ago I would have been over the moon. Not sure about him now, hope I have to eat some pie soon... I know it's only Youtube, but I liked what I saw, his finishes have the look of a natural goalscorer. He looks closer to 33 years old than 23 though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 With De Jong in and Remy back i assume AP will play "Gouffran - De Jong - Remy" up top as his first choice? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Got a hunch he'll do well. Welcome to the madhouse, Luuk. Looking like you'll be the only bright spark around here this window, so we're especially wishing you well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 At times when he was drifting around and playing those through balls early on against Norwich he looked every inch a number 10/attacking midfielder. Don't know if it was frustration or lack of space but by the end of that half and in the 2nd he sort of switched back to his just dribble, take on everyone mode.

Him in front of Tiote and Sissoko would be class (on paper) I don't think he has it in him in the PL, myself. He needs space to run in to, he'll end up just running in to trouble more central imo. He'd be hounded out from minute 1. Right hand side, cutting in. That's where he needs to play for us every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The way I look at it is he'll be more of a goal threat than Shola and he'll reduce Shola's minutes on the pitch... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Dutch players usually do plenty of off-ball running in order to create space for themselves - if we get plenty of interchanging of positions with him and Remy when the latter returns, we could get goals from it. Liked the look of this lad when I saw a youtube video clip 2 years ago - he seems to have the ability and a reasonable degree of pace so its a mystery why he didn't make it at BMG. Tomasson failed to make it here, yet went on to become a star at Milan, so lets hope the same thing happens here with de Jong. The only major downside is that should he do the business between now and May, BMG will want at least 10m for him and that might be a stumbling block to this club...it won't be to others.....
