Playing in the top tier of Dutch football? Captained his team in a few games and scored twice and two assists?
Would say he is doing alright for himself, tbh.
Yeah, he wasn't amazing but as I've said before, he took unwarranted criticism like all our Dutch players did and he's still playing at a relatively high level
Seemed a pointless signing and if he hadn't gone we might not have seen Olise or any of Barrett. But once here he probably deserved a bigger crack of the whip and certainly wasn't as bad as some.
I felt the problem for him was that he wasn’t ever given a consistent run in one position. He played at RWB, LWB, CM, LW and ST all in that first season which means constant adaptations
I like versatile players, especially as you can then afford a more attacking bench, but it was too much for a player like Pelle, learning his trade in a tough and unforgiving environment. We should really have just kept him in one position and focused on that
