So I just watched a highlight reel of him.
1: Loses ball possession.
2: Loses ball possession.
3: gets a freekick.
4: gets a very light free kick.
The rest of the highlight reel shows no cross at all. I can only imagine how Kasper and Klaas-Jan are feeling right now with yet again a winger who doesn't care for his striker.

he's really not a playmaker like that, he's more at the end of chances than anything else
1
I'm kinda excited about this except I wish he was a right winger. We already have Kluivert, Johnsen, Ylatüpa around his age for that position, who are all in their own ways rather promising. On the right we have just Neres except a very injured Cerny and a Nunnely whose time is running out at Ajax

I have the bad suspicion you'll try him out as a second striker (a position which he's only played well in once). A left forward in a 2 striker system would suit him well though
2
lol at Ajax playing with a second striker tho
we play midfielders as wingers, midfielders as leftbacks, midfielders as centrebacks, and occasionally midfielders as strikers. we also play strikers on the wings. we've had plenty of players who would have fared better in two striker systems (Fischer, Sonck, Rosenberg) but we don't do two striker systems ever (except once this season)

we don't do two striker systems ever
That season with Pantelic and Suarez tho, no? Although I'm not sure if you could really call that a 442

fuck jol

The tone of your comment shees, and then ‘except once this season’ lol
2
the tone is a joke.
we won't play 2 strikers though
1
in that case, Bandé seems especially superfluous, means some people are definitely on their way out this summer
1
younes. but yeah wouldn't be surprised if kluivert is gonna force his way out with raiola then

You guys just bought KV Mechelen a new stand for their stadium.

We noemen het het Bandé Blok

We'll see what he can offer, big money for someone who plays for Belgian relegation battler. Also not veru thrilled it's another left winger with a right foot.
But hey at least we are already planning for next season for once.

relegation battler
oi mate I'll fuck you up

Marcie looks tired

Maybe he's been flying around the world looking for reinforcements (fingers crossed).
I really hope we'll get a CB and a LB during the winter period.

u/KVMechelen is he good?
2
he's been commenting on him all day, just check his history

I've talked about it at length in this thread and this one

10 points behind and we're buying players for next season. Might as well come out and say we're giving up on this year.

That makes not much sense. This doesnt say anything about not getting players in the next window. I also dont think that we need a new winger this window. A defender should be priority. Especially with all those injuries.
2
specifically we need fullbacks. personally really think we should just go "fuck it" and play bakker all season.
Would still need a left and two right backs for next season though. And we're gonna need at least one, possibly two attacking midfielders and a right winger for next season too. Ziyech will probably want out, and we have no one behind him for that position since Nouri.
Pasquali, Ylätupa, Johnsen and Eiting seem to me the obvious youth players who will next be pushing for the first team but those are two LWs and two controlling midfielders, something we already have quite a lot of
2
You think Bakker is good enough to make it in the first team? Haven't seen enough of him. Maybe we can buy Duarte and play him as a LB.
1
yeah I really quite like bakker tbh
1
Havent seen or heard anything from him before but I read that hes a 19 year old winger. And bought for around €9m. Will finish the season at KV Mechelen.

Still in time to call him homegrown, right lads?

good one

This deal went very fast. They really must see something in him because he has only played like 11 matches in Belgium.
Would love to hear more Belgian fans give their opinion about him.
Copying my earlier comment:
He's the best young finisher I've observed in our league. His dribbling is good (not amazing though), his positioning and composure are fantastic, his workrate is strong and his defensive work is solid. This saturday he was even a great playmaker, showcased the best decision making I've seen of him. His passes were perfectly weighted and his decision making was quick and clever on the counter.
Basically he's great at all the things that young players are usually not very good at yet. But he's not some Neymar esque FIFA skills talent. And he can get overconfident at times, against Antwerp he dribbled himself into a hole all game long.
Yea, im waiting and hoping for that as well.

Always liked you after 1988 ;)
Really? Losing a European trophy to one of the smallest teams to ever win one would probably make me hate the club for a while
at least the club doesn't hold a grudge. I'd love an Ajax friendly this summer, we never play any good teams
