Feyenoord loans a left-back with Premier League experience: Hugo Bueno joins from Wolverhampton Wanderers

Brian Priske will still be without Gernot Trauner and Quilindschy Hartman at the start of the season at Feyenoord's disposal. But there is also positive news from the Rotterdam infirmary in the run-up to the home game against Willem II.
,,Gernot and Quilindschy are in good hands with the medical staff, but certainly Q still needs time'', Priske said at the press conference.
"I'm happy that Quilindschy was back on the field. He also shared that on Instagram.''
Hartman tore his cruciate ligament in April and still has a long rehabilitation ahead of him.
Priske also had good news to report about injuries.
Gijs Smal and Julián Carranza, who were missing in the battle for the Johan Cruijff Shield, are available against Willem II and can therefore make their debut in the Kuip on Saturday.
Quinten Timber, who was also absent against PSV, can be subbed in.
Feyenoord are going to strengthen themselves with Hugo Bueno. The 21-year-old left back comes over from Wolverhampton Wanderers. He is on loan for one season.
The arrival of Bueno means that coach Brian Priske has four left backs at his disposal.
Summer acquisition Gijs Smal is in the match selection for the first time on Saturday in the match against Willem II. He came over from FC Twente, but has been injured in recent weeks.
There is a chance that Peruvian Marcos López will leave Rotterdam, but he is the only really fit option at the moment.
López also had a starting spot in the match for the Johan Cruijff Shield against PSV.
Quilindschy Hartman is still recovering from a serious knee injury, but is already doing exercises on the field. However, according to Priske, the defender still has a long way to go.
That's why Bueno offers a solution. The Spaniard joined Wolverhampton Wanderers' youth academy in 2019. In the past two seasons, he made no less than 49 appearances, 43 of which were in the Premier League. He was good for one goal and one assist.
Bueno is also a youth international of Spain.

Without Calvin's creativity I put our title aspirations on hold. He's the one who puts a throughball to attackers behind the defense, or creates chances for himself by dribbling. Letting him go without having a replacement in place is ditching alot of goals and assists we simply can't afford to lose.

I'm curious how he's going to step in Calvin's strong points, being capable of passing with precision and thus creating chances for the striker behind the defense.

And as a Ghanian-Dutch .....?

 

Calvin changed his mind....he's staying

 

There's always a silver lining

At Dutch ESPN they really need to hire people not on smoking recreational shit.

'Feyenoord best option for Memphis Depay' Hans Kraaij junior says at ESPN: "Memphis doesn't have a club yet. He's probably still waiting for a big club with a high salary." But Depay can of course also go for another option: "I wouldn't find it very strange if he would choose a top club in the Netherlands, such as Ajax, Feyenoord or PSV. That level is a paradise for strikers and then he can easily score about twenty." Presenter Toine van Peperstraten draws the conclusion that only Feyenoord remains as a destination, because PSV (Memphis' old employer) already has enough attackers and Ajax is grounded in terms of finances. Kraaij: "Yes, but I've said it before and then people say: he's not going to do that. You don't have to have more, if you already have so much. You can also make a good choice in terms of sports if you're already loaded."
Van Peperstraten doesn't think it will be De Kuip: "He's probably waiting for a club that pays well." Kraaij has the last word: "He seems to be busy in Turkey. Financially, you'll be happy there, but I don't think you'll score more than ten goals there."

Apart from the unfounded believe Memphis would be able to score 20 in the Eredivisie, he has proven he is incapable of scoring in high profile matches. Worse he has shown to be a hindrance to execute a flowing attack. He would be a hazard in the way both Feyenoord and PSV play, an obstacle. So why would Feyenoord pay him good money if he can't make a difference in the CL and disrupt the way the team wants to play?
