Rav van den Berg

[Juno10]

Wow - what a player he is. Immaculate today. And still a teenager - ridiculous.

I love how quickly he moves the ball. He passes with purpose, even on his 'wrong side'.

Unless he has some kind of release clause (possible to help us get him with big team interest), he will be our first £30m player. I imagine Hackney will be attracting bids over £20m this summer.

Rav was class today but a massive shout out to Fry as well who generally takes a lot of stick but was equally fantastic today

 

[Maccarone]

Rav is an outstanding talent and will go onto big things (hopefully with us) but if not we will get a kings ransome of a transfer fee

 

[Ayresome_park]

Going to be some player this lad, we could be talking some serious money if he continues to progress like he is!!!

Enjoy rav in a boro shirt while we can, surely destined for better things probs not in a boro shirt, superb today

 

[Chutney]

I think his position is one where inexperience can be exposed, particularly against some of the battle hardened brutes you come up against in the Championship.

Except you don't see a bit of that with Rav, and that's the thing that's so impressive, but his reading of play is top drawer as well. He's this season's Hackney, let's make the most of him.

 

[London_Boro]

Fry was absolutely immense today. RvDB was class also

Yeah that was Fry’s best performance of the season I reckon.

Good to see him step up with a lot of inexperienced / rusty players in the side

I saw an interview with Rav and he basically said he understands why he's been playing RB because Fry at CB is so good...
for some reason our fans don't appreciate Fry.. local lad, easy target n all that

 

[Norman_Conquest]

I thought it was a great team performance but I would like to give a huge shout out to Barlaser who had a very good game and his pass for our goal was superb.

 

[Glover_elbow]

Said last week fry and vdb are the best at the club. Fry stepped into midfield numerous occasions superbly absolutely laughable the stick he gets from boro fans

I think with the right partner Fry is very good. He can take a long time to get up to speed after an injury which he has been prone to sadly and alongside some players, like Lenihan, it just doesn’t seem to work.

Last time I checked he had some of the best passing stats in the division.

Fry likes to play strikers that try and battle with him and turn and face him. Not so comfortable against pacey strikers who try to get in behind. (That's more VDBs bag). Today Fry won his battles all day and he looked in his comfort zone. Excellent performance

Absolutely agree. Fry is a good, solid number 4, who defends extremely well, when facing the opposition.

When we’re stretched, and disorganised, either through extreme pace or fast counter attack, he’s hugely exposed. Love Dael. Can’t see him making the step up the club needs.

RVDB…..sky’s the limit

 

[Paulh10]

Rav could have gone to a really big club.I think he took his brother's advice to get experience playing regularly for a championship side then he can go onto bigger and better things.I think In time he will become world class.

 

[Diego]

Some player this lad is going to be

 

[BoroPhil]

Excellent - he has vision and understanding of a veteran.

 

[alanmoodysdog]

looking more and more like Maddren .... he is a very very good CB

 

[Caesium137]

Isn't his brother at Liverpool? Also a CB who can play right back? Worth giving him a loan, see if he's any good?

For a young lad he was class again today. And that's in an ever evolving back four / centre mid partnership team, that plays pretty open.

I imagine with a Southgate/Pearson type next to him he'd look even better.

I wonder if he was a fan of Woodgate or Carrick growing up? He looks like he'd definitely have been capable of going to the bigger clubs who were interested, but he's come here to play and is flourishing.
