Kenny Saief at Maccabi Haifa

Good looking moves with the ball at his feet. Very comfortable in traffic. Can't wait to see more of him over the years, hopefully surrounded by some talent.

 

He's more attack-minded than I expected. Exactly the type of player we will need more of in this pool.

 

I tried to tell everyone, this kid can absolutely ball. He can play on the left or down the middle for us.

 

Lol. over in the N&A thread folks are talking about how he dribbles too much and makes bad decisions with the ball. I think someone even pegged him as a more one footed, less versatile Nagbe.

Edit: I may be combining multiple comments. But there was definitely one poster insinuating Nagbe was more versatile/useful.

 

People are interesting, aren't they?

 

There was, he was called “too left footed” and didn’t really do anything til the first 10 minutes of second half.
N&A likes to be sad

 

At least he isn't blamed for being invisible in the last 10 minutes of the game.

 

There is a reason why Bradley and Altidore walked..............they can just have N&A say it was Chandlers fault!

 

Anderlecht against his former club, KAA Gent, ion the playoffs. Kenny gets the start and is very lively and inventive in the first 12 minutes.

 

Went 90 in a 0-2 loss.

 

Started & went 90 in 1-0 win:

Yedlin and Saief playing wingback wouldn't be a bad look for the nats

 

Skeptical.. I rate Saief very highly and I see him as a big contributor to the USMNT this upcoming cycle

But I don’t think he has anything close to the pace needed to be a wingback at the international level

 

Very good point, he certainly doesn't have the pace of a Yedlin. I haven't seen him play it for Anderlecht, would be interested to see how well he defends and covers ground.

 

He is above average defender, he has played LWB before. We have only seen him play inside for US.

 

Starts today as Anderlecht host Charleroi in Belgium's Jupiler

 

3-1 win for Anderlecht. Kenny picked up a yellow in the 55' and was subbed out in the 83'

 

Starts against parent club Gent:

De elf spelers die als eersten het nieuwe away shirt mogen dragen!

Les onze joueurs qui porteront en premier le nouveau maillot away!

The starting eleven who'll be wearing the new away kit for the 1st time!

Subbed out in 15’

Hopefully not injured with the friendlies coming up.

 

He had been reported with a bruised knee after the Standard game.

Today he seemed ready to go but the knee started bothering him and that's why he got pulled.

 

Yes.. there was actually a handshake agreement at the time of the loan that the buyout would be exercised. At the time of the loan, Anderlecht was still in the process of being sold and couldn't purchase players. So they loaned Kenny with the understanding he would be bought.
