Mole_Toonfan 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..... We have an option to buy, so BMG can ask for what they like but if the option is in the contract we pay that and its entirely up to the player at that point.

Ronaldo Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 With De Jong in and Remy back i assume AP will play "Gouffran - De Jong - Remy" up top as his first choice? Probably, but we all know it should be Hatem - De Jong - Remy. Shame Hatem never could grow into that ACM role for us. 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. This is exactly it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus playing Hatem in a midfield 3 behind 3 strikers, would be like playing FIFA 98 back in the day and going 4-2-4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hatem had been ill all week in the build up to the game according to Pardew. That will be why he was fatigued. He simple has to start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
