There's obvious caveats with this (played only ~700 minutes, not all from midfield), but point still partly stands
I'm not saying he was/would've been a world-beater for us, but I always felt his ability to consistently get at the end of chances was a bit overlooked

Even before the Sem Steijn links, I found a certain interesting player who ranks 3rd in non-penalty xG and 2nd in open play touches in the penalty area this season (per 90 minutes) among all midfielders I've collected (>2000 players)
That player? Ondřej Lingr

I think Milambo could potentially develop well into that role, as he's shown at times already, but he has been run into the ground this season. He shouldn't have to play almost every game in the future, as he was earlier this season

Seen a lot of 'Sem Steijn to Feyenoord' discourse these last few days, which makes sense given he played and scored against us
He'll probably be too expensive for my liking, but I do agree with the overall consensus that we lack that kind of player a bit

As a pure Wieffer successor as a lone pivot, he needs some work in the duelling and defensive department. But all in all, I think he can actually work really well in Hwang's current role, with someone physical (Moder) next to him

Two weeks ago, Feyenoord signed Moroccan midfielder Oussama Targhalline from Le Havre AC, and we were already able to see glimpses of his qualities against NAC yesterday. But what kind of player is Targhalline, and most importantly, what does he add to Feyenoord?

I think we'll maybe see our right-back playing more offensively, with Hartman being a bit more conservative positionally. I do think AHM is better out wide than in the half-spaces, so maybe Nieuwkoop will generally arrive more in the half-spaces, also as a potential aerial threat

Oussama Targhalline to join Feyenoord! 🇲🇦
A bit out of nowhere, this one. I've looked into him a bit in the summer, and he's definitely an interesting player. He could definitely ease the burden on Hwang a bit when it comes to orchestrating build-up

Santiago Giménez off to AC Milan 🇲🇽🔴⚫️
A really intriguing player to watch. A pure goalscorer, generating chances for himself (and others) at every level he's played at so far. Very interested to see how he'll do at AC Milan. I think this is a good next step for him tbh

With most regular starters (bar Bijlow unfortunately) returning from injury, I'm intrigued to see how Priske will set up when everyone is available
Probably won't see the strongest 11 yet on Sunday because of match fitness issues, but we hopefully will in a few weeks' time

Feyenoord also linked to Jhon Arias 🇨🇴
He stood out in the numbers a bit in the 2023 season. At that time, I didn't think we'd ever splash a lot of cash on a then 26 y/o winger who hadn't played in Europe yet. That thinking hasn't changed tbh, and his 2024 numbers aren't as good

Profile of Ringo Meerveld of this season, as well as last season in the KKD
As mentioned, his dribbling stats are clearly good, but all other stats aren't all that. Would be intrigued to see how these stats improve when he goes to a more dominant team

As a possible back-up of/successor to Timber, it makes quite a lot of sense, profile-wise at least. However, our current system isn't a good fit for Timber, so I don't know why we would go for a similar profile unless we would change up our system (again)

Obviously the numbers are a bit skewed because he has played quite a lot of games as an attacker, who generally have more take-ons. However, even when comparing him with wingers, he's one of the best when it comes to dribbling

Feyenoord are discussing a deal for Ringo Meerveld!
His player profile doesn't tell a lot tbh (will show them below). It is quite obvious his main quality is dribbling. He's showing top numbers for dribbling, even when playing for Willem II, with all respect

xG, xGA, and xGD (xG - xGA) trend of Feyenoord
This shows Priske wasn't wrong when he said during the winter break the numbers were improving . The xG numbers were improving while the results actually got worse. xGA trend was already a bit worrying back then though

With the unfortunate injury to Lennard Hartjes, Excelsior might be in need of another midfielder. Hartjes and Zechiël are somewhat similar profiles, too. He'll keep playing in Rotterdam, for a dominant team
Could be a sensible short-term loan destination imo

Jakub Moder to join Feyenoord!
I haven't seen a lot of him, and his numbers in the Premier League don't really tell a whole lot (also because of small sample size). Nevertheless, his numbers from his time playing in Poland are pretty ridiculous

On the other side, I wanted to say Seydou Fini is another interesting one to watch, as right wingers are generally quite hard to find, but he's on the bench unfortunately. Have heard some people talk about Hatenboer, but I don't know him well enough tbh

Excelsior-FC Dordrecht is a fun match to watch because of the derby in 'our' region, and because of all our loanees playing for FC Dordrecht.
But for me, Daniël van Vianen is also one to watch. One who has an interesting profile, especially considering his expiring contract

I hope Zechiël will start against FC Utrecht. He might be a bit more vulnerable out of possession compared to Milambo, but I think he comes closest to replicating what Hwang does as the pivot in build-up; being able to receive with his back to goal and under pressure

Feyenoord are interested in Víctor Gómez!
Haven't watched him, but his passing and overall offensive numbers from last season look great, and no massive red flags at first glance. Aerial ability maybe, but that's to be expected considering his size tbh

Feyenoord interested in Cesare Casadei!
Absolute unit of a midfielder. A duel winner with decent dribbling, good ball-striking, and also a good option as a box-crashing midfielder. Passing numbers are a red flag though

Feyenoord looking for a loan deal for a right-back this month
The thing I'm most curious about is how we'll handle CL squad registration (if we're going through, that is). Not registering Read again would be pretty harsh imo, but there's already not enough room for him
