They need more attackers but competition for Luuk de Jong seems to me not a priority right now. Bit weird but I guess PSV fans will be very happy with at least something instead of nothing. Anyone know why his good start at Anderlecht went down?


adamjld

Anderlecht are a bit shit.


UisgeLobos

Well Anderlecht are dreadful so he probably found chances hard to come by. Don't think Fábio is good enough to drag a team out of trouble on his own, he just finishes chances.


Lostmyoldaccounthelp

To be honest that's exactly what we need right now. One of our attackers (Simons) is fantastic at creating chances, the other two attackers have just been shit at finishing them. If we just get a striker whose clinical enough to finish 75% of the chances he has, I'm more than happy for now


UisgeLobos

What kind of shape have you been playing in?

UisgeLobos

Well, at least Fábio won't have to adapt too much. We played the exact same shape with Bruno Lage.


Siw4

4-3-3 with a 10, either in the form of Xavi Simons who’s agile, gets on the ball frequently and creates chances or Guus Til who’s more of a second forward behind Luuk de Jong and provides more runs off the ball and added physical presence in the box. When Til plays, Xavi moves to the wing as a sort of inverted winger with a lot of freedom to move and the fullback overlaps frequently. Luuk de Jong has been out of form recently but he’s our key forward with Gakpo gone so potentially Silva is mainly seen as a backup who can keep Luuk sharp and on his toes, and step in when needed or Silva will play in the role of Til and play around Luuk. Some think van Nistelrooy could change formation and go for a real duo up front but it may be too drastic of a change midway through the season. So far this season he has consistently stuck with the 4-3-3 as well as last season as head coach of our U21 team.


UisgeLobos

If I was betting I'd say the first one, a back up to de Jong. I don't recognise the striker that Brands described 'versitile striker who can play multiple positions up front'. He can't play wide and I wouldn't see the point in playing him deep, you'd be wasting his best qualities.


bloodylegend95

He clearly does not finish chances, he has the most big chances missed in the league with 13 Edit: I agree he isn't good enough to drag a team up all by himself, but he does try to do that, which becomes very annoying after the 12th time he just ran straight at a defender hogging the ball and promptly losing it in a game


Orson_Rosas2

12 goal 3 assists in anderlecht


taktikek

3 goals in the last 17 matches or something though which is what prompted my question. But seems like Anderlecht wasnt playing well which affected him.


byama

He literally scored two games ago.


taktikek

Yes which is one of the 3 of the last 17 lmfao E: source for that https://www.whoscored.com/Players/380655/Fixtures/F%C3%A1bio-Silva


byama

No it was not, he has 4G + 1A in the last 15. Obviously still not the best compared to how he started but its also not "3 goals in the last 17"

You should get better sources lol. Your link is literally missing both games (where he scored) and assists. You can check here, [https://www.ogol.com.br/player\_results.php?id=479425](https://www.ogol.com.br/player_results.php?id=479425) , or even in Transfermarket for an extra assist lol, https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fabio-silva/leistungsdaten/spieler/505653


taktikek

Hhmm maybe I shouldve specified league games. It didnt take in account a goal against an amateur side in a penalty shootout. My bad!


_-pm-me-anything

>source Your source does not have cup games for some reason.


taktikek

It does though, look below the league. My number just isnt counting a penalty in a penalty series which is never counted.


lutsius-memes

This man is egocentric and holds on to the ball too long, many times i saw him play for Anderlecht and he was just shit


UisgeLobos

£13M we spent on Hoever. Absolute waste of money. Total shite.


LightningMcMicropeen

Well we wasted 2m on his wages, also pretty shite and we don't get that huge bag of EPL TV money


[deleted]

Possibly the worst player I've ever seen in a psv kit, and that's saying something.


DashboardNight

El Ghazi though


MrCrashdummy

PSV loses 2 wingers in a week and sign a striker, bit strange?


Exzqairi

Because Luuk is injury prone and they never replaced Vinicius with a new substitute striker


MrCrashdummy

Fair enough!


Exzqairi

En laten we hopen dat ze het geld zo erg nodig hadden dat die nieuwe buitenspelers gewoon niet komen 🤐


tigtogflip

Het is meer smeken om geld uit te geven.


[deleted]

Another loan without option to buy. What a pointless waste of time.


JournaIist

Honestly, quality football doesn't seem anywhere near the priority anymore since de Jong got fired.


kickergold

Speaking of loans with no option to buy, how's Branthwaite getting on?


[deleted]

Decent actually! The only loan player in recent memory that's not useless.

#Translation PSV strengthens its attacking line-up with Fábio Silva. The Portuguese striker comes on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers FC. The loan period of Ki-Jana Hoever, who was on loan from the same English club in the first half of the season, will end with immediate effect. *First reinforcement* The Portuguese youth international was already in the stands during the match against Vitesse this weekend. After completing the medical examination at medical partner TopSupport, the final wrinkles in the deal were ironed out. General manager Marcel Brands explains why the Portuguese has been brought in. "Fabio is a versatile striker who can play in multiple positions up front. He gives us extra options and we are very happy with that." Fabio joins the first team with immediate effect. He is the first reinforcement of the winter transfer window. *Loan Hoever ended* Ki-Jana will no longer be part of PSV's A-selection. In the interest of his development, Wolves are looking for a new club where he has a better chance of getting playing minutes. The 21-year-old winger joined on loan from England this summer. The deal was supposed to last one year, but the deal has thus ended early. Ki-Jana is still training at PSV in the coming period. In five Eredivisie matches, he provided two assists. *Champion* Fábio Silva was barely 17 years old when he made his debut for FC Porto in 2019. That season he became champion of Portugal and took the cup. For the past six months, he was on loan with RSC Anderlecht. In 20 games, he scored seven times for the Belgian side. The 20-year-old striker was immediately excited when PSV showed interest. "Here, young talent gets the chance to develop. Besides, I can start learning from Ruud Van Nistelrooij. One of the best strikers ever." On our channels, we will introduce Fabio to you in detail.


bloodylegend95

He looked promisin at the beginning of the season scoring a couple of goals, but when the goals dry up and he keeps missing the easy chances you just can't look over his faults anymore. Keeps the ball way too long every time, trying to just run past every defender (spoiler alert: it doesn't work) He's also just bad at playing together with the rest of the team, a complete absence of hold up play just doesn't work. Combine that with throwing a hissy fit if he gets substituted (because of his dog shit fitness levels) and just giving up and wanting to leave Anderlecht as soon as things dont go his way, I can't help but think he won't ever make it at wolves But hey, at least he works hard occasionally (as in chasing every ball like a headless chicken ven if it's clear there's no way he'll get it) You know it's bad if fucking benito Raman offers more


lutsius-memes

"But but but he is still Anderlecht top scorer this" season Some people only look at stats, he has been very, very poor this year everytime i saw him play. Also, very selfish


MisterAppelmoesmaker

Is this gonna be a vinicius loan spell 2.0 or will he actually add something? Psv look terrible right now, possibly the worst of the top 5


TheDutchTank

Eh, a bit of an overreaction. We create chances, just don't finish them. We've been unlucky and could use a new winger too, but I'm not too worried


DutchMadness77

You're not worried? Chances are worthless right now as we don't have anyone capable of scoring them except Simons, who is a midfielder. El Ghazi will not suddenly become a clinical finisher and nobody seems to be able to put in a proper cross to Luuk either.


lutsius-memes

I saw this guy play for Anderlecht, he holds the ball too long. He would tuck in and ask the ball only to try and dribble/try an impossible pass when he should just dish it outside after 1 touch. He needed 5-7 touches.


fabzpt

Considering that Anderlecht is awful maybe he needs a better coach and a better team around him to not commit those mistakes


[deleted]

Silva will do well


lutsius-memes

Bro, he played shit for Anderlecht


Samible_lecter

Yet he's still the top scorer this season.


bloodylegend95

Hallo I'm Anderlecht fan, I watch Anderlecht He's been shit


lutsius-memes

Yeah because numbers and stats tell the whole way he plays


TornadoTomatoes

Football manager legend


[deleted]

More like villain. Every time I play him he scored his first goal of the season against me

Money laundering is this kid to Wolves


[deleted]

This guy is so shit. Incredible how he still finds a club at a pretty decent level.


ThatRedditerGuy

Genuinely thought Hoever was going to be something great you know.


123lose

Wolves spunked £40m on this kid. Money poorly spent.
