Charles De Ketelaere Thread

[nekky]

I see absolutely nothing in him that makes him worth anything more than 5 M. He looks no better than a primavera player to me

 

[kevin_dk]

He got shoulder checked and shoved off like a fucking mannequin before giving the ball away to Roma to score.

Thing is nobody gives a fuck that Pioli plays him in the "wrong" position. He is not made for CAM but with that garbage physicality and mentality could he even stand the ground for 15' as a CF?

How did this piece of garbage a well-rounded complete weakling inside out and cost us 35m? Who else got involved in this deal besides Maldini and Massara?

They did so well on Theo, Tonali, Bennacer, Tomori, Mike, Kalulu so on and so forth. Why this flop out of the blue???

 

[sheva]

Hat trick vs Atalanta?

at this rate he'll need hugs from the entire curva sud

 

[Goodfella]

Why?
Why would they do this to us?

 

[melanman]

To be fair I don't think he was "ready" to be that type signing for Milan. Ability wise he's is talented but imo he plays slow if he 2sec faster this wouldn't be discussion.

 

[Boban1982]

He has shown he has some talent but obviously no where near enough. I remember he showed skill to go past a player and put in a beautiful cross for Messiah who fluffed the chance. I can't remember the game.

He clearly is suffering with his confidence now and has not adapted to a new tougher league.

I certainly wouldn't right him off yet. I hope he gets another season with us or a loan to a serie A club to develop.

I remember De Bruyne being written off at Chelsea and he became one of the best midfielders in world football.

I hope Charles gets at least one goal before the end of the season. One goal could be all that is needed to turn things around.

 

[kevin_dk]

He is done for. Loan until contract expires to help with paying his salaries. If lucky we could sell him for cheap later on. He must be gone from the club's roster next season though, that is going to be good for his career. He is done for.

his second season he will be better, but Pioli needs to play him much more

Dude I recoiled in disgust reading “Pioli must play him much more”

No, thank you

 

[Jivara]

De Ketelare will most likely be here next season. I think selling or loaning him is out of the question, unless a stupid offer arrives.

The reason I say that is because the management has clearly stated that he is an investment for the future and he was brought in as an attacking player to address areas where we clearly need to improve.

With a proper preseason preparation and a summer's rest we will likely see a clearer version of him. If he does not live up to the task then the approach might change but for the amount that was paid for him I doubt that we are willing to accept a defeat and we will rather be patient with him hoping that he can redeem his value and the possibility of increasing it.

I remember reading someone paraphrasing Maldini's statements about Leao back when he was signed. He said Maldini told him, "In two years he'll be one of the strongest attackers in Europe."

That's how management looks at these signings, I know forum Eeyore's and Football Manager tycoons think they understand ball, but the way we've been operating and will continue to operate seems to be with the future in mind. 32 Million was spent on the future, unless the player wants to leave he's not going anywhere.

Well other option is Brahim…so CDK for sure before judging him.

Im not the type of fan that gets on the hate train that easily, unless it is a Mesbah level of player.

adli is like "how did this special needs kid get in the lineup before me?"

in that you are wrong, primavera players might have future this girl doesn't,, not selling him next season for the highest bidder is another crime in the club finance, i hope the PL clubs might still be interested, and we can extract the sum of 15 - 20 M, unfortunately from what i hear Maldini seems like he has some kind of Fetish on this girl, not sure if he reminds him of KAKA in the looks, has a thing for the blondes or just too stubborn to admit he make a huge mistake, but the thing we are not even considering to ship him off is what pisses me off the most, as another shitty season like this one means not even 5 M will paid for this fraud.

CDK superstar.

 

[Pingu]

CDK pornstar.

is more likely at this rate

Should have let Colombo take the penalty. Wasted a great chance!

 

[Pigeon]

I too am a believer. I feel he needs time. I hope so.

 

[Shadow47]

i personally have low faith on him

 

[sheva]

is more likely at this rate

He will be very successful in the femdom category

 

[rossonero23]
