Karim Rekik

[Neville Kneville]

You're using FIFA ratings to determine the pace of players?

My word..

Have you seen the two players run next to eachother? i doubt that. But what i also seriously doubt is that a 19 year old athletic guy can be slower then demichelis, who is seriously slow..

I haven't seen Daniel Sturridge running next to Spencer Prior either but I've an idea who would win.

But perhaps you're right & I'm imagining it. You can see his acceleration when in trouble on here tbf & also why you are all so impressed with his defensive qualities & potential for the first team.

Perhaps it is just me being unreasonable.

Toni kroos is as slow as a tortoise

Toni kroos is as slow as a tortoise

and quality, Rekik's positional sense is good, therefore he doesn't need to be quick, unfortunately at PSV he's playing next to a lunatic Centre Half who thinks his basic position is behind the other goal.

From where are you getting the evidence that Rekik is playing better than Bruma ?


I can't find any whatsoever apart from one line in an old blog.

Could you please point me to it so I can see it for myself. If he has made a huge improvement recently then I'm quite happy to be wrong. The only stuff I've seen rates Bruma as twice as good as Rekik but I don't trust the stats.

I never spoke of quality, I was referring to Bruma's habit of racing upfield into advanced positions and leaving Rekik exposed, an opinion of mine that's shared by a lot of pundits and analysts with knowledge of the dutch league.

Ah right. Well I agree with that, he's shit at defending as well from what I've seen.

You can't really see Rekik's pace in that video tbh. And i'm willing to bet everything i have that Rekik would win over Demichelis in a head to head race.
Tbf the fact that you say Demichelis is quicker than Rekik tells everything about how unfair your theories about Rekik are.

Did you see the game ? In fact have you seen him play other than a couple of games at fullback in the first team (where he did ok).

Do you think that the defending by Rekik in that video from May last year, shows us some potential that we can be excited about for May this year or is it more likely more of a disappointment ? Honest answers please.

I did yeah, and ive seen multiple PSV games, but i dont belive we should be excited for may. He will come back here and probably be loaned to a PRL side, and then lets see how he does in Premier League.

Well there you go then, you don't think he's good enough to be in our squad either, which is EXACTLY what I am saying.

I don't think he will last five minutes playing for anybody in the Premier League next season either & would be dropped like a stone after a few games but if he does well for someone I will be delighted for him. Imo though, his best place to play football is where he is now, it is the right level for him.
