Suggestion: Leander Dendoncker

mercredi 25 avril 2018

Wasn't sure whether to put this as suggestion, discussion or rumour. I read from time to time that we have been and are being linked to this holding midfielder from Anderlecht but I couldn't say that the references look more than guessing and so rumour didn't seem right.

On the thread re Luka and the next window threads it's likely that we will need another DM to sit alonsgide Luka if Cabaye leaves or maybe even if he stays if Jairo isn't going to be selected there which is unclear currently. Anyway this guy could be a candidate. Lots of good noises about him, good age (23) and so on.

Took another look at his highlights reel which by definition has good things on it. Couple of things that struck me:

1 - he looks genuinely two footed, striking it powerfully with either foot whether he is passing or shooting.
2 - he loves a long diagonal :D - BOY does he love a diagonal :D The reel is full of him hitting it to either wing. So Andros and Wilf would need to get on their 'bikes' and ready to run into those spaces because he isn't likely to knock it off short. His power enables him to drop it right on the touchline
3 - Belgian midfield and strikers don't close DMs down and so he is probably used to a lot more time on the ball in those positions than he will get here which is a consideration. Countering that is his touch around the opponent's box looks good.

But all of this is from a reel and so huge caveats needed. I still think you would learn a lot more about a player if the highlights was accompanied with a lowlights reel.
