JM1 Posted July 11, 2019 Report Posted July 11, 2019 I quite like the idea of the football team I support bringing in a new signing. In particular a strong tall striker. Silly me 🤷🏻♂️ Quote

MarkCorrigan Posted July 11, 2019 Report Posted July 11, 2019 So, look, of course, the club had better have seen a bit more of the player than we have haha! And, yes, YouTube is a showreel (in this kinda instance) showing the best of a player so it's not the full picture. Nevertheless, some very nice finishes in there and lots of different kinds of goal. Headers, 1 on 1s with the goalie and half-chance snapshots. Good finishing, strength and pace on display. If he signs, we cross our fingers and hope he can do that for us on a regular basis and then we will all be very happy! Quote

MenstrieSaint Posted July 11, 2019 Report Posted July 11, 2019 He looks a rougher version of Cody Cooke . Really need to see him to pass judgement . But we do need a striker , along with a left back and centre half . Hopefully we get these guys in soon , so we can give them a run with n the league cup section games . Quote

ged62 Posted July 11, 2019 Report Posted July 11, 2019 Seems it's enough to persuade some on here he's the real deal. FFS! What’s your answer then? At least give the guy a chance, at long last a big striker up front for all our high balls that we usually play to nobody. Quote

djchapsticks Posted July 11, 2019 Report Posted July 11, 2019 Some good reports from Go Ahead fans about Verheydt as well as some Crawley fans who said he was really unlucky with injuries and could have had a better return than he did if not for that. Quote

Watched a few clips in YouTube and he reminds me a bit of Mark Yardley , maybe a bit more mobile , but he certainly has the bulk and the awkwardness , he will cause defences problems. Quote

He’ll ruffle a few feathers. Quote

Not so much a striker as a target man with power and strength, in order to knock it down to Mullen etc. Saints staggered like headless chickens up front last season. I approve.... especially if he IS like Mark Yardley, screwing in the odd goal.... Quote
Desperately Seeking Susans Posted July 11, 2019 Report Posted July 11, 2019 If he signs good luck to him and he'll have my full support.....but I'm not really convinced. His style of play and movement reminds me of Chic Charnley. Quote
delpierro Posted July 12, 2019 Report Posted July 12, 2019 Oh FFS, don't say that. [emoji37] Chico was far ahead of the dumplings he play alongside. Fantastic player (If no serving a suspension) [emoji12] Quote
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted July 12, 2019 Report Posted July 12, 2019 I'm not so sure we should have went public with this he has not signed yet everybody and his dog knows he is coming over with his agent this weekend. Quote

Kemp Posted July 12, 2019 Report Posted July 12, 2019 All you learn from that showreel is Dutch 2nd tier defences have presumably been coached with the same training manual Morton have been using. Quote
