CONFIRMED Jairo Riedewald

[Trigger Blade]

I can see why Palace rated him now to be honest at first but like I said after the game on Sunday, he is like a (compliment) and improved Monty, he does the basics really well, tackling, short passing but also adds being calm on the ball and passing with purchase in his locker. Surely needs a contract extension

Completely agree, he’s a really intelligent footballer and he’s getting close to 90 minutes.

He’s in an apartment up Chelsea Heights with his family, he took it over when Sydie moved out. Last week he was moving some flat pack furniture in so assume he’s expecting to be around longer than a few weeks.

ITK Trig

I said after seeing him at Preston he reminded me of Stuart McCall. Doesn’t try to do anything exceptional just breaks things up and gives it simple

Seems to read the game well which gives him more time to do the uncomplicated stuff. You can see him constantly directing others around him where they should be, etc.
Looks to be a good mentor for the young uns around him.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Would give him a 2 year contract, no problem

 

[ATL Recs]

Would give him a 2 year contract, no problem

Jamie Holland recruitment territory he’s so limited and slow and disappears in games regularly
His game abd most of the team improved after the handball
But we won’t be playing against 10 every week (sadly)

 

[tincan]

He has that McAtee quality of seeing through the chaos of championship pressing tactics, and so is able to bypass or block when needed. Essential if we're to recover.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

He seems to be fitting seamlessly into the ethos that Wilder is trying to recreate in the side.

 

[raimond]

He's doing himself and us proud but 'kinell, reading this morning that he's like a cross between Stuart McCall and James McAtee, we must have a £50m player on our hands

 

[dexter101]

McRiedewald?

 

[Harry's Game]

Reminds me a little of Stuart McCall, breaks up the play well and doesn’t shit the bed when he’s in possession

Did anyone else get a little Souza vibe when he effortlessly shouldered their lad into the Land of Wind and Ghosts on the touchline?

 

[CaptainMorgans]

I like him. He's not got the physical prowess or athleticism of Vini Souza, but he gives us a presence in the middle of the park.

As others have said, he reads the game well, breaks things up and moves it on.
It's bread and butter midfield play but it's made such a big difference having someone undertake the basics to a decent level (his technical competence likely owes a lot to his Ajax upbringing)...

remember the Selles days of Peck / Hamer / O'Hare in a flat 3? There was nobody in there doing the do.


If his contract runs out in January, I would definitely be giving him an 18 month deal with an extension option.
He's only 29, plenty to offer if he can stay fit.

Got a Trevor Hockey vibe.

 

[The Fox]

Got a Trevor Hockey vibe.

Wow , are they available in the club shop .

 

[Stewy]

i was thinking Geroges Santos , maybe the jersey and his built remind me of Santos

 

[Grappler]

Thought he was great last night, and of course on Sunday. He lacks pace, but if he had that, he would be playing elsewhere (if we are all honest).

Quick reactions for his shot last night.

 

[Ned the Donkey]

Quick. Gerrim seld.

I saw Pompey fans moan at that but that was something Vini would do often, just brush people off the ball with ease.

 

[ancientblade]

Got a Trevor Hockey vibe.

yes was thinking same got vibes of hockey breaking play up and looking for tc think its also helped peck he can play a bit more advanced now and looks happier further up the pitch big test saturday at the king power but i think playing the bigger games brings the best out of this group and wouldnt suprise me if we got a point there

 

[joe casey]

Like someones dad who used to play a bit turning up to their sons 5 a side. Can't really run, not sure his knees actually bend - but does all the simple stuff, rarely loses the ball and always gets a foot in. Lovely stuff

 

[Down the Channels]

Very astute business this from Wilder and the team. As is Bamford.
Sadly looking like Tom Davies isn't going to offer a reliable back up so imperative we get this guy singed up soon.
Soumare is decent back up to Peck/Arblaster/Riedewald in the centre.
Not sure what we do with Matos now either, he has looked miles off it.
