Took the day off to spectate, and 2 deals done before I’d have started? Poor show, fuming (jokes…).
So, both signings feel a bit ‘**** or bust’ but also the upside of them could be huge.
Brobbey, me and scout discussed few months back. Growth spurt seemed to take away from him but there’s also the mitigation of some personal issues and a move can sometimes lift those.
If we unlock ‘breakthrough Brobbey’ he could be immense, last season Brobbey is Altidore 2.0.
Given the clubs ability to rebirth a player we assume we get option 1 and he do well.
Geertruida was exceptional at times for Feyenoord and was a big sale, hasn’t done great at Leipzig but they have been going through a changing time, and had a poor season or 2 overall.
He has 17 caps for Holland and over 120 games for Feyenoord so the lad can clearly play.
Both would surely hit the ‘top good for the Championship’ marker and as such I’ll assume are good additions.
The fact Geertruida can cover 3 positions makes it look potentially savvy.
