2021/22 Donny van de Beek

[Syphon]

Class player. Never in doubt for anyone who watched him play for Ajax

The idea he wasn’t ‘conditioned’ for EPL football or whatever someone was rambling about was patently, nonsense

If thats what he can offer consistently even 3 out of 5 games he is exactly the sort of player i want us to have in the middle.

He plays the actual football. The real stuff.

However experience tells me he will be crap and/or get sent off next week

It's early days but will we try and keep him?

I didnt even bother reference this in my post above

Thats how much i think of our competency

 

[Zezti]

Think when he went to United, a lot of people didn't know what to expect, including the coaches. He can just be the player he is, here.

I feel like a midfield of Allan sitting with Doucoure and VDB as the 8s would be just perfection. Hopefully get to see it some time this season!

His quality is obvious. His vision and speed of thought and one touch passing. Won a few aerial battles too. Looks class

 

[NewRadical]

He fitted right in like he'd been with us for years.

I'm really pleased with his output so far. Looks cool headed.

When you have a player like this, everyone gets more confident on the ball. He gives everyone more time on the ball, they in turn feel comfortable playing it into him in any situation. None of our other midfielders have this quality.

 

[cantlivewithem]

he seems to have a bit more bite about him that Davy K

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Just glad that he's come in with Lampard in charge and not Benitez.

 

[MikeH72]

I’m still scarred by Schneiderlin being called a Rolls Royce after 2 games, so I’ll go as far as to say well played today Don, and no further than that.

Brings the whole team up. Very few misplaced passes.

Seems like a nice lad. Probably intergrated well into the group of players & today showed them & us what he can bring to our season. More like that & it certainly solves a long lasting problem we have had. Hate loans with no options.
