Player Watch - Steven Bergwijn signs for Ajax

[Spurbanite]

I know nothing about him , so found a scouting report at OOTB from a few years back.

Bergwijn can play across the front line, be it a false nine or a shadow striker in the centre or an inside forward on either flank, but he mainly acts as the latter on the right, cutting in and creating space for himself. His agility and acceleration, coupled with decent technical ability, allows him to dribble past a few defenders before popping a shot off, or laying it off for his teammates.

Strengths.

• He is excellent at ball retention. able to shield the ball and wait for other players to arrive
• an excellent dribbler. good technical ability, meaning he can cut in with ease, beating numerous defenders
• His positioning is immaculate.
• One glaring weakness of his otherwise well-rounded skill set would be his aerial presence.

Going by the commentary at least his name is easy to pronounce ‘Bear-wine’ lol

Beer wine?

Clever move when you think Levy could have taken the 20 mil from Eriksen and invest it in this lad.Its not a bad bet.
He must do better than Eriksen has the past two seasons and we are on a winner

 

[DenverSpur]

His assists numbers in the dutch league certainly lead me to believe he can help replace Eriksen's creativity at least

Can he take a corner though?

You know something’s happening when you don’t check SC for two hours and when you come back there’s a new thread with 15 pages!

Lovely job. Just like the Son transfer.

A Leicester fan on Foxes Talk just said that Leicester were a bigger club than Spurs because they’ve won 3 league titles in the last 10 years.

The Government would be proud of that kind of spinning. Jesus.

Just no one go and add him in your FIFA Career Mode, alright?

Signed for Liverpool and is currently leading the Golden boot in 2021/22 season

Wonder if this may include Foyth going to them on an 18 mnth loan, in order to reduce transfer fee? Given creative accounting is needed, it could be slightly logical.

Has there been any ITK on this or is it just the usual media links?

The PSV manager said he's in London for talks. Not quite sure we can get more inside-info than that.

But did anyone track his flight?

We’re losing it, we’ve become too arrogant for our own good

That's OK we can get him sky

Looks like a Son who actually gets his head up and passes.

Hes got a long way to go before you can even put him on Son's level.

No disrespect but these kind of comments do my head in.

Very unlikely imo
Wages too high
