 Welcom y toffi TV, dwy'n bai cam. Donnie Vanderbake has joined Everton on loan until the end of the season in a deadline day deal. It becomes Frank Lampard's first signing. Initial thoughts? I think he's a good player, technically obviously hasn't had a lot of opportunities at Manchester United. If you listen to a lot of Manchester United fans, they seem a little bit confused and upset at the fact that he's had not a lot of opportunities. I think he's only started four games this season. It is slightly concerning that two managers now have opted to not give him the chances that maybe some would feel he deserves. You know, man United, I've got a lot of depth in that midfield at Metomone, Fred, Fernandez. They've got a lot of players in there that play in similar positions to where Donnie Vanderbake will play. But you know, I don't think there's any doubt in his ability as a footballer. Lampard was impressed with him when Ajax played Chelsea in the semi-final of the Champions League. He said that. Obviously he's shone in the Champions League for Ajax before and at an international level as well. My only real sort of concern, pardon me, is he quick enough? Is he exactly the type of midfielder that we need? There's no doubt that we need a midfielder and he definitely improves the squad in terms of his quality and his ability. I don't know whether he's exactly that profile of midfielder that I would have been targeting as a first. But having said that, he still comes in, he'll be able to play in a three. He's got a chip on his shoulder, a little bit similar to the Damari Gray situation. He's going to want to be coming in and getting his head down and improve himself. You know, not only to Evan, but to Manchester United as well. There's no buy option, I don't believe, so he goes back there in the summer either way. So he's got a point to prove and he's doing it in very different circumstances to what he was in at Manchester United and that is a team that needs points on the board and to get out of this relegation battle that we're currently in. It'll be interesting, I do think he's got quality. Like prior to Man United, you'd have been jumping all over Donnie van der Beek coming to Evan himself. There's something to be said about that, but we'll wait and see. He improves the squad, but I still think we need a Ghana-esque type of player. No, I think you'd write it, sometimes you've got to look at exactly what you need and have it need another midfielder who's powerful, mobile, can get above the pitch, help Armourfield out, give it legs, which he hasn't got much of especially with Adelaide de Corrie being out as well with tears for at least another three weeks. What van der Beek will bring in is technical ability, keep good on the ball. It was very good for Ajax in their run in the Champions League, Neat and Tidy on the ball. You obviously have the fear of Davy Clashen, another Ajax player who was very good for Ajax. Come didn't work out, went over to Bremen, done really well, gone back to Ajax, brilliant, back in the Dutch team, really doing really well for Ajax. And you're hoping van der Beek will be able to make more of an impact on him. I think physically he's bigger than what Clashen was. You're right, he hasn't really been given a go at Manchester United for whatever reason. Maybe people would argue that United's midfield is miles better than Everton's and therefore it's more difficult to get into that break into that side. But it's a player like you said that is coming here with something to prove. This is what Everton used to do brilliantly under the likes of David Moyes will get players in with something to prove. Can it work? It works and maybe Everton has moved away from that. I'm a bit like you, he's not exactly what I would have had down what we needed and I do have one or two concerns over, excuse me, peace. And stuff, but he's a quality technical footballer and if Lampard can have an idea of the way he wants them to play and might get the best out of them, then that's good for us. He's had a good age. He hasn't had to move from where he's living. He's having a baby as well. It's important to be settled off the pitch. And like you said, at the end of the day it's a low risk really because there's no option to buy. It's not like we threw a big outlay on him. He's coming here on low for four months and hopefully he can play games and help Everton get points we need and hopefully it'll be a win-win for both. He'll do well for us and he'll do well for himself and his idea will be, as you just rightly said, to show Manchester United that he's still got a future there. Yeah, absolutely. And like you said, it's very low risk, certainly financially. I know I've spent a little bit on a loan fee but there's no obligation to buy at the end of it. If it doesn't work, it just goes back to Manchester United. But van der Beek himself will be thinking well if this doesn't work, then where does that leave me? Because United are looking at it and going, well if he didn't work at Everton, he's not going to work at Armidfield and then he'd be looking to get a move and other Premier League teams are looking at going, well if he didn't work at Everton, then he's going to work for us. As you said, I do think he'll have a chip on his shoulder and I think he'll be wanting to come in, get his head down and prove that he can be an effective Premier League midfielder and that's exactly what we need. I do think we need somebody who's a bit more in the mould of Abdul-Aid-Dakori in there as well. But technically there's no doubt in van der Beek's ability as a player. He would probably argue I haven't had a consistent enough run in the Premier League to show my ability. It's very difficult when players are getting 10 minutes off the bench here in there. And don't forget the way Lampard likes to play like possession, likes to be able to play. So it might suit him, try to get the best out of it. Let's have a look at some of the stats. I actually have 175 appearances, 43 goals and 37 assists. So not bad for a midfiel player. If he could bring that kind of output to Everton then we'd be all over that because we don't score a lot of goals from midfield at all. And we've always needed that extra bit of creativity. His appearances at the national team as well, he's in obviously the Dutch side. 19 appearances for his country, three goals and one assist. So he is a player that breaks into the penalty area. He can get on the end of things. Everton don't have that certainly from midfield. The corey had started the season well but once Everton injured his hip and he says move this position again and it kind of went back to like it was under Ancelotti which doesn't get the best out of the corey. So Everton, the goals have dried up. Everton do need more goal output than if you can add to those numbers that we've seen at Holland and Ajax then we're getting an asset. But let's have a look at his numbers at United because I think that's what a lot of people will be talking about. 50 appearances from Ancelotti United, two goals and two assists. A lot of those appearances have been substituted appearances down there and I've watched them for United where they've been 2-0 down, 3-0 down, whatever and they've brought them on with seven minutes to go and that obviously will cost us an appearance. I can't remember if he scored against Wafford didn't he when he went down and he came back and he scored in that game. Again, no stats, certainly the Man United ones could be slightly misleading. It's not 50-start and now as I said from being in and around the space and you see you've made a lot of different football fans, a lot of Man United fans have been drumming the gun of play Donnie van der Beek and I was listening to United van yesterday saying that he's almost sort of happy that van der Beek's coming to Everton on loan because it was given game time that he deserves and if this lad wasn't good enough or didn't have the ability he wouldn't be saying that it'd be a get him out there and see how he does but look he will improve, of course he will because he's another top quality player to add to the squad and if Lampard is to adapt to a 4-3-3 and use that formation it'd be interesting in the coming weeks obviously with the Corey's injury he plays alongside them in that three obviously we've been linked with Deli Alley today. I would love to go on a game back but it's very unlikely but I just think it'd be amazing but if everybody was fit you would assume it'd be Alan, the Corey and van der Beek and it'd be interesting to see where his role lies within that because as we've said, the Corey has done his best work going forward and you would tribute him as a box-to-boxman ffeilder who is exceptionally good in the opposition box when he gets chances but because obviously we move him from three different style of man it is obviously Raffer Ben Itters with very much don't take any risks, don't leave holes which everything should have barely been drawn in games, nil nil for fun. Yeah, we didn't take any risks but there's no risks and we've been letting goals in where what we know from what we've seen from Frank Lampard so far is everything's that way OK, we have got to sort this way out but so therefore if Alan was to sit and I know that isn't his best position he likes to go hunting around as well he likes to be in eight as well but needs must be and got back number six in our squad so therefore if the Corey is bombing on and Fanderbyg is bombing on then that creates more opportunities, more goals Yes, there needs to be an element of discipline somewhere from one of them if you go all stay or whatever or wait for what arises but that might get the best out of him maybe both of them, him and the Corey in F3, certainly what Derby County had they had Mason Man bombing forward in that kind of formation you have to have plays you want to get in the box you know, Dominic Albert Lewin we've got in Don, we've got a grey foil for midfielders like Fanderbyg getting forward you know, with Charleston maybe on one side Damari Gray on the other side Anthony Gordon, El Gazi, Tamsen you know, all of a sudden you go well you know what, there's loads of options there for everything, loads it's about if you can't knit it all together that's the key thing and someone like Don who's got technical ability you can pick a pass you can break from midfield maybe that's what everything needs someone who can take the ball in tight areas and he's comfortable enough it's very much what I actually brought up on that kind of ability I don't think he's someone who's going to go man's seven men and Ben one in fact 35 yards but busy, get it, pass it Just the basic right as well, that's what we need we need somebody that in a pressure situation a midfielder that's going to keep the ball and just calm it down good at doing that coming off the bench and at times this season but Gomez for me off the ball just isn't just never in the game I don't know whether he's just work hard or not he's just incapable of doing the work that he needs to do but we've seen a couple of times over the years when Gomez has been asked to do that and we've been under a bit of pressure puts his foot on the ball, passes it out and just calms everything down and I think van de Brich will be able to do that as well as I said provides another body going forward and he's definitely got ability and he will want to work hard he won't be coming in thinking just get by for another six months and see what happens he'll be getting in thinking I need to impress and I need to show look at how much Gomez impressed when he was on loan for the first time, typically loan players and such word, typically loan players impress more because they've got a point of view they haven't got a contract guarantee they'll know United aren't particularly first anyway he was going to Palace if everything didn't come in well cup year as well so again he's got that point to prove him he'll definitely be a welcomed addition to the side and he also has strength and depth as well there's options that that Lampard complain different formations and different styles and van de Brich will be a part of that again I think he's a good player technically a good player I'd still like that physical quick nimble centre midfiel that I don't think van de Brich is maybe Lampard is looking at anything and we won't need that type of player if we can get enough quality in the light of van de Brich and the core it's going to be interesting to see but if donnie van de Brich is signed on monthly and the season we wish him well hopefully he'll come in and absolutely kill it light it up and be excellent and then we'll have a decision to make if he does really well in the summer let's hope that that is up for discussion if it is then it's done well let us know what you think in the comments section below about donnie van de Brich can he rediscover his Ajax form for evident can he be an impression on the blues and help us to the karma waters of mid table on whatever it is because at the moment we are definitely got shark circling around us so there you go let us know what you think in the comments section below give the video a thumbs up, subscribe if you haven't and if you want more videos see you next time
