Confirmed Signing Donny van de Beek

[Charles Hawtrey]

No complaints here - We definitely need some extra legs in midfield, especially after Doucoure's injury. This fella has played in the prem and fits the bill - as good as we can get on loan. If he is a dud, its only 5 months, if he is great, ok. Lampards will be looking to bring in new faces in the summer.

 

[Sharpattack]

Great. Just what we need. Another whinge arse.

I’m here longer than you so I’m entitled to whinge.

 

[Nymzee]

We already have 2 loans so someone must be going out

We have one domestic loan (El Ghazi) so VDB would be 2.

Can he sit defensively in the midfield or is he purely an attacking mid?

He says he prefers to play as a 6 or 8. So the versatility will help, but I doubt we’ll play him deep unless we have to (which is possible tbh)

 

[Dancing Pat]

He doesn't have the mentality to play in the PL, always looks like a lost little boy when I've seen him play. He's also far too slow.

Sounds perfect for us, Klassen MkII.

But tbh, we have to give him a chance as he can’t be any worse than what we’ve already got.

My god. How longs this medical taking. Are they taking him apart bit by bit then rebuilding him

Social Media team working overtime today, reckon a reveal around 6pm

He turned up at FF a while ago. He'll be doing all the media crap, welcome videos, club photos etc etc

Our medical team are just ensuring that he's injured quite frequently like all the rest.

 

[Connor]

Must have trained because they have not released photos of Lampard's first session yet, and will probably do so after this announcement

Deffo signed this morning and did all his media before

 

[Toffe3m4n]

The medical was done this morning and was on media duties afterwards. As @Connor says, probably also joined in the training session for at least a bit.

Again, there's no rush on the announcements.
