I like that Klopp's success with transfers means that we get excited now when he signs a player for under £2m. It doesn't feel like we need to spend £50-100m to feel like a player will be successful. All we need to know is that Klopp rates them.

I was impressed with him on that film and how he spoke, looks really calm not at all overawed by his new situation. An interesting player to be keeping an eye on along with Ki-Jan.

It happens every year....

But the kid clearly needs to bulk up... or so thinks Klopp anyway

Yeah depending on the draw he might get a league cup appearance pre-Christmas, but I think he'll be included from January. Again, hopefully we get a nice FA Cup draw to play some of the youngsters.

I’m not sure bulking up is the issue so much, but more getting used to the physical nature of the English game and learning how to use his size.

He’s certainly not a skinny lad.

Yeah it's not bulk, it's aerobic fitness. We saw with Gomez that Klopp is actively opposed to the 'bulking up' of already full grown players.

I think he was talking about (core) strength rather than bulk (in addition to aerobic fitness of course). Almost every player looks like they have lost weight here. Surprised Jenny Craig isn't our training kit sponsor...

Yeah,,, core strength is a good shout.

I don't think that means "bulk up", really. He's a Dutch kid coming from a Dutch league, so a lot of his conditioning would have been in the form of various small sided games, instead of the intense non-ball fitness drills that Klopp uses, so I think that's what he was referring to - a "proper physical pre-season", as opposed to getting him into the weight room to increase muscle mass.

Core strength development is, though, a good shout, as he seems quite lanky to me, and will definitely need to improve that to cope with the physicality of the English league and cups.

He's an EU national moving to (currently at least) an EU country exercising his treaty rights.

It's not really a nationality issue, it's a player registration issue. He has to get international clearance for his registration (to make sure he's not playing for two teams at the same time - not a problem at the very upper levels of the game, but it's the same as not being able to play on two teams at a youth tournament, for example).

And international clearance is notoriously random. I told a story here once of a player I trained who transferred to another country, missed a few games because his international clearance hadn't come through, only to find out someone he knew worked in the office of his home FA, and they pushed it through in a matter of hours for him. Utterly ridiculous, but thoroughly "FIFA" ;D

He’s finally been cleared to play.

He’s in the squad tonight.

It’s bloody hot though, with his hair he might burn by half time.

Thats because the Netherlands is sinking and they need to grow taller so their feet can reach the ground.
