[Albion] Jan Paul van Hecke

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Anyone noticed that he looks like Ben White...

I think I know what they're up to here.
...'

I think I understand...we’re cloning Ben White in order to bolster “The Kings of Europes” loanee tally to above the requisite 30% for a bottom half finish?

 

[Surf's Up]

Good defenders under 25 who are good enough to play in the PL are worth a lot of money . If you can pick one up cheap circa £1-2m , lend them to a championship club and then sell them on for ) 15m plus that’s good business !

40m plus don't you mean?

Indeed. I think that promotion has left many of their fans so delirious that they won't notice the difference. A bit like having fine champagne and wine at a wedding. You can bring out the rubbish stuff a couple of hours later because they'll all pissed and won't work it out.

Would you believe we’re in the market for another Dutch central defender?!

Brabants Dagblad is a Dutch Newspaper.

Not for me, Schteve!

20 years old.

One for the youth team.

This specific specimen is a prolific goal scorer which is an interesting look for a centre back!

new centre foward?

 

[vagabond]

If we get the full set of CBs are we allowed to have a hotel...?

Clearly you’ve never been to a wedding in Yorkshire. They bring out the “rubbish stuff” before the wedding starts, get back to a ramshackle church hall for the “rubbish stuff” during the bidding toasts, the Best mans toast, the brides fathers toast (often the same bloke called eggsy) and the pre “first dance” toast, whereupon they consume bin fulls of rubbish stuff for the remaining three hours of Arctic Monkeys/Kaiser Chiefs until the obligatory climax where the bride glasses the maid of honour for giving the groom a toothless blowie behind the skip out t’ back.

Have I missed owt?

I've been to a wedding in Yorkshire - it was teetotal. The bride was toasted with lemonade and the meal was served with water.

We were waiting for the boozers to open (this was nearly 40 years). It was rather dramatic: someone went outside to check, flung the doors open and shouted "t'pub's open", there was a mass exodus and were soon sitting comfortably drinking pints of Wards.

Worst wedding I've ever been - there wasn't even a fight to liven things up.

Clearly I have! Another thing I'll have to accept I'm unlikely ever to experience!

You had to wait 40 years for the pubs to open ? I’m not surprised it was dramatic.

 

[GT49er]

Is our new target winning PL2?

 

[Hugo Rune]

new centre foward?

10 goals from 25 games are good stats, why not stick him upfront?

It felt like it at the time

 

[Lurchy]

The highlights video of him on YouTube makes him look like a hybrid of Dunk and Webster. Comfortable with ball at his feet under pressure and not adverse to making runs forward with it.

indeed...

 

[Change at Barnham]

Tackle, get the ball, advance out of defence, pass the ball forwards.
Just like Webster, Dunk and Clarke.
Easy peasy.

If he's being signed for our U-23's he looks impressive and must be in with a chance of increasing his value.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Anyone made the Jan Paul's Van Hecke of a player joke yet?

No? Guess I'll do it then.

Jan Paul's Van Hecke of a player...

 

[Eeyore]

How many centre-backs does it take to change a light bulb ?

Depends where they've bought the house.

Sees a pass - I like the cut of his jib. We’re gonna have one heck of a team.
