[Albion] Jan Paul van Hecke

[Molango's visa]

Savage pointed this out re the tv commentary

But he is an arse so what can I believe? I'm so confused. Oh hang on my own eyes tell me our boy is decent. Good enough for me.

 

[Sirnormangall]

Yeh. He was up against a very physical striker, he won a few and lost a few.

Overall a very good performance and I personally think JP has had a terrific season so far

Thought JP had as good a game as anyone last night. But fantastic collective team performance overall.

 

[SeagullinExile]

He was a colossus yesterday. His best performance yet, in my humble opinion anyway.

Finally! That's three Albion players provisionally called up, by the way

Finally! That's three Albion players provisionally called up, by the way

About time!

Had a long chat last night with a Dutch friend about Dutch players over here and mentioned that it was surely only a matter of time for Van Hecke!

 

[Giraffe]

Amazed he didn't feature until now

 

[pigmanovich]

Amazed he didn't feature until now

Probably taking Botman's spot

Not really - they have a big pool of top class CBs:

DeLigt
De Vrij
Van Dijk
Ake
Van de Ven.

Happy for him to have been noticed, and to make this long-list, but its no slight NOT to have made the 23/26 previously. Van de Ven didn't make their Euros squad either - and he is outstanding.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

The more important news, is that they are confident to name Bart Verbruggen in the squad. Hopefully back playing soon then

 

[Flounce]

If we had signed Colwill I reckon JPVH would be plying his trade elsewhere now. I’d not swap him for Levi now either.

He is nailed on to be be a decent player in the Netherlands side for years imo

Van de Ven appeared in four games at the Euros?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Van de Ven appeared in four games at the Euros?

Haha. yes he did - he kept coming on as sub, when the games got stretched

The latest training video has Bart in it diving around, saving shots, can't be far away at all
