Robin Roefs 🇳🇱 compendium

[Botchie]

If we were signing a young Dutch centre forward, people would be saying he's the next Van Basten.

 

[GipettoCuda]

Bit underwhelmed, is he a big upgrade on Patto? Time will tell.

No one cares that you’re underwhelmed. Club has spent more money than ever before trying to build a squad to secure premier league football next season man. Maybe you could write a letter in, recommend some players?

 

[BucketBiff]

You're always going to go down the list when the top 2 or 3 don't want to come. I think its impossible to judge it really as I've got no idea about him

I m the same. May turn out class. Ideally I would have liked a more experienced keeper. Like another poster said I can also see Patterson and him competing to be the No.1.

 

[Junior Birdman]

Would you feel differently about this signing if we were paying £20m+

Who knows, this lad was probably on our shortlist from the outset, but we chose to target Bulka/Petrovic first

Spot on. If we'd paid £30m for the same player people would be creaming their pants.

Add a bit of distribution to that and I'm on board !

He will be a 'Black Cat on a hot SoL Roef' hopefully

Journalists who work in European football seem to like him

Played in the U21 Euros in June and played in the semi final against England

Check the thread and see if he was good or rubbish

 

[Nicky Winterwasp]

Wonder if he can get beyond his ceiling (roof joke)

 

[RokerRye]

F*ck sake. Just heard his grandparents are from Ivory Coast #AFCON

Gets down well for a big lad.

Never seen him play and can never fully tell from highlights reels how good a player is so I'll trust our scouts on this one.

 

[HarrogateMackem]

Always was which made me surprised when we went for yet another winger. I was happy it fell through, felt like over kill when we had more pressing issues.

Couldn’t agree more. We haven’t always been the best at it in the past either, with glaring holes in the squad in previous seasons.

Getting shot of patto??

Need 2 GKs

Looks mint

 

[The Situation]

@Mackemansj1 - you were right in the Hull thread yesterday anyway when you said most of our signings just come out of the blue with no links prior!

 

[sunderlandsnicestboy]

Seems to have had a break out season and an impressive u21 Euros, hopefully it isn’t a one season wonder and instead a good spot from the scouting team.

 

[Nathan Gunn]

We were bidding £25m for petrovic earlier in the window, so this will mean there's £15m saved to be spent elsewhere. I wonder if this now means we can push Lucumi over the line

 

[SAFCDownUnder]

***** need to be put in jail. Serious the amount of theft that goes unpunished, not a church left with lead on it.

Beat me to it!

 

[Super Ted]

Just been speaking to my NEC Nijmegen supporting mate who said hes easily the best Dutch keeper of all time.

Not every signing is gonna be like Xhaka. He could be a top keeper….
