Daryl janmaat

Should play as RWB not as RB. His strength is going forward, his defending is solid but can get caught out from time to time, especially when the opponent is playing counter attacking football. He is reasonably fast, strong and has a decent cross, which is why you want him to play as RWB. Works best in a 3-5-2 formation that Ronald Koeman played at Feyenoord. Solid jumping and heading to clear corner kicks and free kicks from the side. Okay with tackling and challenging the ball. Does have a wee bit of a temper. Mentally not that strong, when the team was behind I've rarely seen him to try to make a difference. Good stamina and endurance, rarely gets injured and has a good work rate.

Verdict: good signing in general, not so sure about his adaptability, will have trouble adapting to the EPL way of defending. If Pardew uses him only as a RB, I can see him fail.

 

Oh shhhhh... And your an expert how..? Let's wait and see what happens, he's got to be as good as debuchy at least so try not to use words like fail. He was part of the Dutch team tha finished third

 

Thanks for that.

To be honest, I didn't really notice him defending at the World Cup, he was always bombing down the wing. The clips I've seen of him on YouTube, he's always attacking. I now hope something goes wrong with the Debuchy deal, and we keep him here.

He's the fountain of knowledge on all things Dutch.

 

That because he only started 2 matches, after that he was benched because Van Gaal went defensively after the Australia match and placed Dirk Kuyt on the RB position. Says a lot when Dirk Kuyt is preferred over a proper defender...

 

I do think some view his opinion as sacred though when in reality he's just a normal Dutch football fanatic, no different to how most of us are about English football.

Always grateful for his input as it's a good read but it's still just one mans opinion.

 

I'm not a fanatic, don't even support a team, I just watch it for the game, in all aspects it's different then most of you. I look at players in an objective way and memorize their strengths and weaknesses. In the three years that I've been reporting on this forum, I think I've only had one player that I was a wee bit wrong: Bryan Ruiz.

 

What the hells the "minor details" that's stopping the deal? This is not good.........

 

Where's this from?

 

Here. I'll be devastated if this falls through....

If it does fall through I doubt it will be down to our side of things as the club need to buy him to sell Debuchy. I might be being overly optimistic but I'm hoping these really are formalities.

 

I hope to god we're not penny pinching. This blokes a steal.

 

We better not be. Tbf, even that article is still talking about when and not if, so fingers crossed.

 

He's in Newcastle today and had his medical so it's highly unlikely that it won't happen.

 

Don't panic, don't panic.....





Can anyone tell me why my smilies don't appear to be working?

 

I will...

 

If it falls through.... I'll....

 

Reports he will be a toon player tomorrow.....****ing hope so.

 

All gone quiet, I don't like it.
