Feyenoord’s Winter Transfers: A Cause for Concern?

omidbasir- Feyenoord has made some moves in the winter transfer market, but the question remains whether fans can truly be excited about signings such as Mats Deijl and Jeremiah St. Juste.

In the KieftJansenEgmondGijp podcast, Wim Kieft voiced his criticism, stating, “Deijl was particularly poor against FC Utrecht. He passed the ball directly to the opposition three times on the right before being positioned as a left-back. For an Eredivisie player, he lacks even a competent left foot.”

Expectations for bigger names have been voiced. Dennis van Eersel, speaking on RTV Rijnmond, remarked, “Given Feyenoord’s current situation and their ambitions for Champions League football, should they not have taken more risks? We see competitors doing just that.” Jerson Cabral added, “While this transfer is a fantastic opportunity for Deijl, it raises questions about whether it’s a move that significantly improves Feyenoord’s standing. The club operates at a different level, and greater demands are expected compared to teams like Go Ahead Eagles.”
