mrmojorisin75 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 So slow. Said since the first time I saw him he only works in this league if he's scoring 15+ goals a season because he looks so off the pace everywhere else he'll continue nothing. Looks a really bad fit for the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 He is no slower than Kevin Nolan. Not even close. So all this chat about not being suited is unwarranted. He has not got a run yet in the team, but once he does, his class will show. The problem now is that Ayoze is the man in that number 10 spot, and not sure I'd play De Jong anywhere else in all honesty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I don't care how "classy" he is, I don't know where he would fit in our team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I don't care how "classy" he is, I don't know where he would fit in our team. Tbf as much as I like and want De Jong to succeed, if we continue with 442, then there really is no where he could go, as he's not going to work in a flat midfield.

DJ_NUFC Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Haven't seen much in him to warrant a starting berth in the team, but maybe he can show what he can do off the bench if/when Mitrez tire and one of them needs to be taken off. I do like the suggested idea of us having a squad and players to choose from Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The most likely outcome has already come. Ayoze has beaten out competition from our other 3 or 4 #10's and made the position his own (yes off 1 game). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 We'll probably sign another number 10 in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 It's not even that he's slow. He just looks timid and doesn't show any strength Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnonel Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 We'll probably sign another number 10 in January. Never thought we would have more no.10s than left backs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Thought he's looked good personally, and seems to know where the net is. He seems like a permacrock like and Perez has obviously tied down the 2nd forward role for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Wonder if he'll get a chance somewhere in the team? No idea where he would play though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 the only time I noticed him was when he got fouled on the half way line Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Don't see where he fits in. He can only seem to play number 10 in a 4-2-3-1 and we're awful in that formation. Not to mention he hasn't yet had a memorable performance considering the player he was at Ajax. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Played a total of 108 minutes of Premiership football this season. Sell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 the only time I noticed him was when he got fouled on the half way line Yeah, was looking like a good chance to counter attack too until he got the ball and turned back towards his own goal.

Not to mention he hasn't yet had a memorable performance considering the player he was at Ajax. Thought he looked really good against West Ham(?). He needs more time in games though, pointless bringing him on for between 5 and 20 minutes here and there, we saw that with Ben Arfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Doesn't fit with the squad, the way the manager wants to play and probably the League period. I'd be looking to move him on in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 We lost all our momentum when he came on. it was a double whammy because we lost Wijnaldum in the danger areas and De Jong just watched the game go by. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Looked totally inept and ineffective, the only contribution was gaining fouls in areas where he should be dominating the possession and creating something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
