How does target Boetius compare to Lamela & Memphis Depay
A winger, a winger, buy me a winger, well a wide attacker, so Spurs scouts went forth, scoured the land and came back with reports on tons of players. The latest we have been linked to is Jean-Paul Boetius.
I say the latest but we have been linked with him before, this time the news is not from one of our own papers but from a respected source in his home country of Holland. Voetbal International are the paper in question and they tell us his statistics were similar to Manchester United signing and former Tottenham target Memphis Depay.
His statistics are worth a glance at in that case. He is 21-years-old and was born in Rotterdam, he stands 1.78 m (5 ft 10 in) tall and wears the number 7 shirt for Feyenoord. He has played at various levels for Holland and has one full international cap. In the Eredivisie he has scored 4 goals and has 3 assists in 21 games, totalling 1,860 minutes, which is equivalent to 20.67 full games. Clearly he has been a sub a lot, 11 in fact.
He primarily plays on the left but can play on the right and is dual footed which should add to the problems defenders face. his strengths are listed as playing key passes and his defensive contribution by whoscored. they list his style of play as, getting fouled often (who isn't in today's game), likes to play long balls (we like to play short balls), likes to cut inside, likes to tackle and commits a lot of fouls.
Oursideoftheboot website had him in their 100 Best Young Players to Watch-out for in 2014, number 8 in their forwards list. Ronald Koeman, now manager at Southampton and his former boss felt he had a future.
Clearly he has talent, reading a game is essential to an attacker, the better you can read it the more dangerous you will be and the more telling passing you'll see before others. In a game where our movement off the ball is key, vision is a valuable asset. Importantly he has something we lack, sheer pace, Walker, Rose and Yedlin have it, Lennon being expected to leave.
The general conscientious of opinion seems to be that he has stalled in his development and probably needs a fresh environment to kick on again.

"Boetius can become a very big player. He has an advantage over other young talents, due to the fact that he reads the game better than his peers."
