Cyriel Dessers

For all the flak that he takes, for all we moan and rant - his numbers are good.

 

 

I know most would rather get rid, but I actually think he's worth keeping around, unless we were being offered decentish cash.

I strongly agree! We should keep him as his desire and work rate each game is Phenomenal, As of lately with Raskin pushing up more and providing more assists in the box we could potentially see him with more goals than misses, as for the stick he receives Dessers just brushes it off and goes again excellent mentality others would find hard to deal with the pressure we fans give him.

That'll be why there are clubs queueing up to buy him, obviously.

Indeed! We should keep him regardless of the interests, who could we buy that gives us the amount of goals he provides for the price we paid for him or even receive for him?

In modern football, a striker has more to do than score goals.  I'm hoping the new manager can bring some players in who score from other positions, plus Raskin has started chipping in more often.  

 

Being so reliant on one player to get goals has been part of our problems these past few seasons (particularly when he misses so many chances in big games).

Think of many he might score if he had a decent degree of balance and ball control it's easy to say he is the top scorer in Scotland but 17 goals isn't exactly in the numbers i would equate to a top striker in any league i remember Joe McBride rattling in 36 goals before christmas before he got injured now men like that were strikers

And goalies were pretty poor in those days don't forget. Also they could just barge them into the net.

Dessers is nearing 30 in all competitions which is good numbers but 25 should be the approx league goals target for a No.9 in our league. 

 

He has got better as the season has gone on, Id say he is first pick now when that wouldnt have been the case last Autumn. The sitters have dried up and he certainly doesnt look out of place in Europe although he can go 45 minutes unnoticed - he can then simply pop up with a goal at any time.

That's just a fallacy goalkeepers were every bit as good maybe better because most teams had a good man between the posts

Don't think there's anything new that can be said about the lad's contribution and his goals won't be easy to replace but if we can get a suitable bid for his services, I think I'd move him on.
