Jairo Riedewald
 

Highest pass completion rate in the dutch premier league last year i think they said, 92% likes to pass forward and can dribble with the ball. be interesting to see what sakhos pass completion rate was at us.

Be interesting to see whether he plays in the back three or in midfield

I reckon he'll be in the back 3 until/ unless we sign another left footed CB. BMI probably the most obvious possibility I would guess.

Which by the sounds of it we might. Seems like his preference is to be in midfield, would be interesting next to Luka. But would be worried about the creativity in the team.

A massive fundemental part of the puzzle put in here with Riedewald, he'll be that left center back who has the intelligence to get into good positions to receive the ball and allow the more creative outlets a better base in order to start our attacks.

I think this will be an incredible signing.

Sort of signing you make when you've got a plan. A good sign, I think.

He's very much a RCB/RB

No he ain't.

You what?

Agreed. I think he'll be great (may need some time to settle).

Maybe. But I could also see him being our first choice left sided centre back too. I guess only Frank and a few others around him will know the plan at the moment.

If we did sign another left sided CB then Jairo would be an excellent, versatile option from the bench.

As others have said he is a left footed centre back, who has also played at left back and holding in midfield.

Could he be cheese and onion to Sakho's salt and vinegar?

Back 3 imo

Song for him....just repeating his first name to the high-ho tune of the seven dwarfs.

Good. Welcome Jairo. COYP!

Hopefully has a better league debut for Palace than he did Ajax!

Welcome JR.
COYP

Didn't he score a brace on his debut to turn around a 1-0? Sure that's what I read.

It's certainly an interesting signing and I think he'll go straight into the team. None of this one for the future types.
