Other Domestic Leagues 16/17

[YNWA14]

I really, really think that Liverpool should make a play for Quincy Promes at the winter window. We're going to be missing Mané for a while and he's a guy that can bring a lot of the same things to the team and is quite prolific. Another goal today. Wasted at Spartak.

 

[ViD]

He just signed a new lucrative deal. Unless Liverpool is going to pay his release clause fee (I think it's like €30m), he's not going anywhere

 

[Ajacied]

He's also not all that good, not when playing for Oranje that is. Don't watch much of Spartak.

To be honest, there's not many players that look good for Netherlands now

 

[Ajacied]

That's not true. There are still a handful of players impressing. Team and staff is just a big mess..

 

[YNWA14]

Promes is a very good player. Misused in the NT and also set up to fail there with the terrible coaching we've had since the WC. The managers are inflexible, but Promes should be playing as a SS type player with the NT. We don't have the wide players with Robben out to have a really strong 4-3-3 so they should go with a 4-4-2, Promes and Janssen up top.



Finished the game 2 goals 1 assist in a 3 - 1 win.

 

[Ajacied]

Perhaps, yet I never was impressed with Promes to begin with. I think he's fast, decent skillset but has no end product.

Misused, meh. He gets a lot of free room up front and rarely makes anything happen. I agree he could be a nice addition to a mid to subtop team in the Premierleague, though. Can't see why anyone would play in Russia other than money..

No Dutch player has been more productive than him since 2014/15 (36 goals and 18 assists in his last 62 starts). Hardly think that equates to no end product. There are some real difficulties with the NT right now and I think most players have looked worse than they normally do playing there at least over a long period. Promes is a talented young player and still has time to improve as well.

 

[Savi]

What a week for Feyenoord.

 

[Ajacied]

No kidding.

They have a decent side. With Ajax and PSV stumbling, they could be serious contenders for the title. Curtinho's prediction looks pretty spot on right now, though Feyenoord will come down to earth eventually.

 

[Pouchkine]

Why play in Russia : Women Great Cities Great History Great Music and Quality Competitive league.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Big game in Croatia between Rijeka and Dinamo, rumors is if Dinamo lose Kranjcar already gets the boot after two defeats. Though as usual in Croatia, Dinamo start off slow before eventually winning league by 10+ points

 

[HajdukSplit]

Dinamo getting smoked 4:0, will fall to 3rd with this result To be fair, if Lyon played at their highest level all 90 minutes they would have beaten Dinamo by 6-7 goals, Dinamo is the one team who before a CL campaign sell their best players and don't bother to sign anybody, but that's what you get when the club is used to embezzle funds

 

[Savi]

And yet they still manage to win the league again every time?

I'm not so sure. Like I said before I like their mix of youth and experience. Jones by the way has been fantastic for them after a really rough time at Liverpool. My personal favourites are Kongolo, Vilhena and Jorgensen on their team but they have good contributors everywhere, strong leadership and a lot of motivation. It could be their year tbh.

Certainly if Ajax is still playing as they are come their match on the 23rd they will get battered.

 

[YNWA14]

Have to give credit to Bosz for taking a risk and moving Sinkgraven to leftback. He's been phenomenal there so far. MotM in his first game in the position and great again today. Nice to see his talent being put to use even if it's out of his natural position.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Estudiantes have had a amazing start to their league campaign. Not only do they have a perfect 4-0-0 record they have yet to concede a single goal. A lot of that is down to AHEM Asacacibar, who's played every single of those minutes.

Also high flying Tomas Conechny is on the bench for San Lorenzo...he should make his debut.

Nice highlight of Promes. He's a player that should be playing in a big league next season, or even this winter. He's a very dangerous forward who would fit in well on most top teams.

Spartak is currently leading the Russian league, if they qualify for the CL, I doubt they would let him go

To be fair I said the same thing last year. Promes shouldn't be playing in Russia; but at the same time maybe it's good for him. He gets to be the star of his team and develop a lot of confidence which is key for top players as well.

Either way he's been great.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Dinamo-Hajduk ends in a scoreless draw, Dinamo still third and six points behind Rijeka after 11 rounds (total of 36). Dinamo still play Rijeka three times and of course have another 9 free points from Lokomotiva, but far from over, but seems to be the first time in a while Dinamo's dominance could come into question

Interesting in the context of the wide open starts to La Liga, Ligue 1, etc.

The Czech league has also been a lot more open than usual this year. Traditional frontrunners Sparta are in fourth after nine games, six points out of first, and their rivals for the top spot of recent years Plzen only just managed to finally nab top spot this past round. Liberec, who has been one of the more solid Czech sides in the Europa League, is way down at 13th (with a postponed game in hand), though they do tend to be all over the place.

Sparta will be amazing once they play Dao.

Pleasantly surprised by Spartak. Lokomotiv is stinking things up, though.

Considering his age though, he'll be spending some time with the juniors for a bit anyway, so he's not going to be saving them any time soon
