Kenneth Paal (n/t) on 16:52 - Jun 17 by hoopedmonkey
If he has played more than 40% of the teams minutes over the last twelve months he gets +5 points to add to his original 10

Eredivisie is Band 2. Paal played over 90% for Zwolle, who finished bottom. From the table I saw that gives him 10 points. He's not an international and they didn't qualify for any European competitions.
Given the news, below, it shows what I know.

Find me on twitter @derbyhoop and now on Bluesky
Seen bits and pieces of him at Zwolle here in NL. I'm quite positive about this signing, could work out well for us. Attacking left back with a good cross. Kinda regret Chaz leaving, this could just have been the service he needed.
Took 25 shots last season and was offsides 8 times, gives and indication of his attacking intent. But for all that going forward, he scored 0 and only 1 assist.
But Zwolle was rubbish this past season, would have been very impressive to come out of that season with good stats for anyone. I think/hope he will fit in well with us.
Some encouraging stuff in the link, thanks. He looks similar to Odubajo in many ways. Good going forward but not so great in defence. Nonetheless, a very good free transfer.
Looks promising. Also means we won't be signing McCallum, which we had no chance of signing anyway. Same we Sanderson which we probably didn't want anyway.
Also, from the highlights real to me it looks like, despite people saying Beale likes a back 4, we may well stick with our back 5 formation as Paal seems more of a wingback to me.
I would still re-contract Moses to play RB or cover LB should Paal get injured or not make it. As at the moment we only have Kakay at RB and that's not enough.
Whilst Moses has zero resale value, the fact he can cover LB saves us money from signing another one (assuming Niko does not come good). So, Moses saves us money from having a smaller squad as he can play both sides.
Then after this, we need a pacy right-winger to open up game and somehow magically another forward. Assuming we also keep Uncle.
So, that's Uncle, a RB+LB2 (Moses), RW and CF. Just four more players, plus the 2 we already have signed make 6 new signings contract-wise.
Seeing as we let 7 go out Austin, Ball, Barnes, Marshall, Westwood, Barbet, Wallace this means we are one down. This is good, we need to have a smaller squad and it also allows space for the youth to come through.
It is now time to decide what we want to do with: Masterson Owens Bettache Duke-McKenna Shodipo Alfa
I think it is time to sell: Thomas and Bonne for whatever we can get for them.
Athleticism is great to have, a proper 'up and down the pitch' type we haven't had enough of recently. He's also exactly the kind of player Dykes needs. Looks a good one

We are going to be a team that defends from the front and attacks from the back. There may be some confusion.
