My lifelong Feyenoord supporting friend said he’s still very very raw, needs to develop better decision making but has tremendous skill, pace and instinctive at times and very deadly. Said he thinks more time on loan before coming to the PL. wouldn’t mind him again.  

Yeah. My Feyenoord supporting mate says he lacks end product, often flatters to deceive. Doesn't sound like he'll be ready for the PL next year.

Going to be a tricky one sorting a loan then. If he's not PL ready, ideally a Championship move would be good, but how do you motivate yourself to go from playing for a club like Feyenoord and regular European football, to go to say Sheffield United or Burnley for a year?

Maybe a French club?

[Guest]

He's proven he can play at a decent standard. I'd sooner just keep him and let us iron out any flaws ourselves.

 

The risk with some loans is that they're not arsed about that side of things. They just want him for there and then, if he's not good enough, he doesn't play.

[healthyaddiction]

Starting today against PSV.

[Kanj]

seems an easy scapegoat when he’s a the loan player. 

[Pilko]

Don't forget Anderson went on what we thought was one of the token League 2 loans usually followed by release and a stint at Gateshead or Blyth and came into the first team mix within months.

 

If Minteh has shown glimpses at Feyenoord that's a really good sign, a season working with Howe and the coaches on his consistency, end product, ball retention etc will be just what he needs. As he starts to improve on the key areas he'll doubtless get opportunities as an impact sub or in the cups.

[Rafalove]

Anderson’s loan wasn’t a “token league 2” loan. He was building up hype in the youth team by then, and was rumoured and linked with loans to championship and league one teams. It was wildly thought that Bristol was well below his level and so it proved, but went there most likely because Joey and Shola are good pals.

Nice wee goal v psv there. Robbed the defender & took it round the keeper 

[STM]

The pressing will impress Eddie.

[Ronson333]

This feyenoord defender is having a shocker.

I think it's almost time to bring him into the squad. We could possibly sell Miggy to ease FFP and have him play that position

His pressing and defensive work is likely what gets him a chance perhaps a lot sooner than we think.

[Smal]

He really looks made for a Howe team to me. Hope he works hard in pre-season and takes his chance like Anderson and Miley did.

[Stottie]

6 goals and 3 assists in 9 games' worth of minutes in Eredivisie. He scored in the CL too.

Bring him home.

Anyone watching/watched the match?

 

Dis Bakayoko play? Was he any good?

I haven’t watched him play but 6 goals and 2 assists in 17 games with (the majority?) being sub appearances wouldn’t suggest lack of end product surely?

For anyone that hasn't seen it.

[Dokko]

He's got the things you cannot teach, and is missing the things a good coach and the right attitude provide. He's about as much as an exciting prospect as you can get.

[Kanj]

I don’t know how you can hate a guy who’s single handledly won them points this season in some big matches

I was there today. Currently sat in departures at Schiphol. Bakayoko played. Was poor yet again. After a great start to the season he's really struggled for form these past couple of months. Personally I think he's playing on the wrong wing and him and Lozano should swap.

 

Was interested to see Minteh today and have to say I was very impressed. Very lively, scored a good goal and was pretty much a menace until he went off in the 75th minute. Played through the middle today but I think he also has the attributes to play out wide, he has pace and some nice tricks.

 

I'd think he'd be knocking on the door of the first team next season and going off today alone he looked a better option than either Almiron or Murphy in my opinion.

 

Also sure I read on here that the Feyenoord fans don't like him. Well we were sat a couple of blocks along from the away fans and they love him! He got an incredible reception off them when he was subbed.

Very encouraging if he's able to play through the middle. Exactly what we need really, a winger who can play up there.

He played through the middle V Celtic in the Champs league as well.
