lcfc sheff Posted 30 March 2022 Posted 30 March 2022 Hope the deal is already in place, can see him adding so much to our team. RW or CAM which is what we need in attacking depth 1

filbertway Posted 30 March 2022 Posted 30 March 2022 The impressive thing about this lad is that not only does he look a proper player, but he looks like he makes a fair few interceptions, which would help us if we want to press higher. Our better pressing players tend to be more limited. 1
Ric Flair Posted 30 March 2022 Posted 30 March 2022 I can see the temptation when needing to trim the squad size with us likely missing out in Europe that we go for a dynamic player who can play wide right, ACM or up front. Could see Iheanacho, Praet and Perez being sold and De Ketelaere coming in and a back up winger to cover left or right (hopefully Brennan Johnson rather than Lookman but could do a lot worse) 3

He's a player that drifts into spaces. Maddison has been our best player this season, and often starts out wide but both is and isn't in that position at the same time. I do agree with those that say we should sign an out and out RW with a left foot, but this player looks very good. I am convinced we've already signed this player. There was a big furore in January around him where his name came out of nowhere and then went quiet again. I think we've done what we did with Soumare and bagged him already. If that's true I just hope he can make more of an immediate impact because that's what this squad needs right now. 3

Saw him play for Anderlecht in the flesh a couple of years back and was really disappointed. Looked like he had a long way to go to deal with the physically and pace of the game in any top European league. Saelemaekers looked great and Kana was unreal and he's now totally out of contention. 1

Tbf he would have been like 18? Young lads can develop physically a lot in a couple of seasons.

Oh definitely but it looked like he needed to gain a lot of pace, even just to give him that 5 yard burst of pace to cope with the prem, let alone outright speed The rest of his game was woeful as he barely touched the ball and gave it away when he did have it, but that's just one game and technical skills can't be judged on one game alone, though that was super disappointing. 1

Once again this was just one game and he has contributed goals and assists this season, but watching him, watching the game pass him bye was very strange. There is another opportunity to watch him play tomorrow, and see if his form picks up, or is it that he is being played out of position.
sacreblueits442 Posted 1 April 2022 Posted 1 April 2022 ....33 minutes gone, Club Brugge 1-0 up and playing like it is a training exercise!!! De Ketelaere had the pass that went to the assist for the goal. He originally featured on the left and now mostly roaming around in the middle, not really contributing to the game. Very composed in possession when he gets the ball and looks to move the attack on, but for £30m, you want to see more of him either on the ball or making his presence felt on the pitch. Very much what I saw last time I watched him play, just not involved enough.
sacreblueits442 Posted 1 April 2022 Posted 1 April 2022 ...54 mins. Goal for De Ketelaere, very good passing move from their own box to walking the ball into the oppositions goal!!! Club Brugge is a well drilled team, that works for each other, and perhaps passes too much, but good to watch all the same.
sacreblueits442 Posted 1 April 2022 Posted 1 April 2022 ...61 mins. He has just been subbed, no injury that I can see, so tactical, Brugge 0-3 up and coasting!!!

brookfox Posted 1 April 2022 Posted 1 April 2022 I was quite keen until I saw how tall he is. It’s a no for me!

North Leeds Fox Posted 2 April 2022 Posted 2 April 2022 Whenever I have watched him, he reminds me so much of Havertz. Can play in a variety positions and technically very good. Seems to drift all over the pitch. Personally would prefer a winger like madueke, but its great we are being linked with good youngsters from across Europe.
