rodders0223 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 £12m for this donkey. Staggering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reivax_Villa Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I actually like him. Very physical and good in the air too. Something that we are lacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Is he a 'winner' though? Will he help our 'emergency area'? What about his 'technical side' of things? How will he respond to crippling criticism from a tactically inept coach? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MentalM Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) I think Dendoncker for £12m is a good deal. Doesnt matter thou, our manager will still continue using Mcginn and Ramsey in midfield, which basically means we are defacto only having Kamara there.

Something that we are lacking Totally agree. At £12m that would be a steal. He is big, strong and physical. He also seems to have a bit of mental fortitude. The only negative I see is that he comes a bit of a blocker for Tim getting more game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 He's a decent enough player, an as good as what we have got for a start! Also a grafter, not a lazy player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 He loses more aerial 50/50's than he wins. for a big guy he doesn't get off the ground very well. He's strong although a bit clumsy. He would be more of a panic buy than any part of a plan for the future in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheVilla26 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 You don't get much for £12mill these days and he can cover 2 positions. When he was young, he was very highly rated. I've not seen much of him to pass judgement but the fact West Ham are also sniffing around isn't a bad sign as they seem to pick up a decent Midfielder on the cheap most summers.

If we were to sign a central midfielder it would have to be someone better than what we have here already. He is not a step up on Douglas Luiz, McGinn, Ramsey, Sanson, Nakamba or even the potential of Iroegbunam and is well below Kamara. He will be another name for the bench on big wages losing value. It is stupidity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
