I'm not bothered whether he scores or not. He's making a good contribution to the team, holding the ball well and opening things up for his team-mates.

 

His level of skill on the ball wasn't apparent to me on the compilation videos that I saw previously. I'm no longer a doubter.

 

Me neither, he provides much more than a goal scorer ever will as his play allows the whole team to get into position to score.

 

As long we have goalscorers alongside him and right now we do, i'd pay what ever the pre-agreed fee is as you'd find it hard to find another who fits so seamlessly to a Pardew team without being an utter knacker.

He's never going to be a prolific goalscorer but his touch and link play to feed others is excellent.

 

I'd sign him now.

 

He needs to show some goal scoring intent over this loan period for me to be convinced he'd be a good permanent signing. We don't have enough goals in our team as it is, I don't think we can carry a striker who doesn't offer them either. In his favour though he is only 23 and he could still start scoring.

The Oracle Has Spoken!

 

Oracle or not, he looks OK. a lot better than what we have on the books, and at least making the right noises.

I can see why he went for all that money (considering his goal record in Holland).

 

Even if he could only manage Gouffran type numbers in front of goal he would be well worth the money.

 

 

His all round game is genuinely great. We haven't had this type of team forward since Bellamy (although in a much different way) or dare I say Kluivert?

Kluivert was going downhill when he arrived here but at Ajax he was one of the most complete centre forwards I've seen. Marco van Basten is probably the other one who made scoring goals look like art.

Can the Kluivert had a poor first touch post be added to the most ridiculous things said on here please.

 

As an opinion, yes.

 

Some things Stifler says is beyond batshit mental.

 

Aye but that's to be expected these days.

Considering De Jong had barely played I think he's done well so far. He's all round game is very good and if he can start scoring we're gonna have a class striker on the books.

 

Does any know much about the deal, like if there's an option to buy. Fee agreed etc?

If we can keep Remy then I think we need to keep LDJ too, he seems the perfect foil for him and if he starts chipping in with his own goals we'll have a formidable strike force. Of course that would require us to have some ambition!
