da esport bet:
da betcris: Swansea City may have appointed Francesco Guidolin, a name all but unbeknown to everyone bar Italians or hipsters, but they did bring in proven Premier League quality to aid their relegation scrap.The Swans brought Leroy Fer in on loan for the remainder of the campaign in order to bolster the ranks in the middle of the park at the Liberty Stadium.ÂAfter the sale of Jonjo Shelvey to Newcastle United for £12m, the Welsh side needed to bring in a central midfielder.The former Queens Park Rangers and Norwich City is well versed in the arts of the Premier League, having played in England for just under three years now.ÂHowever, both the 26-year-old and his new charges will no doubt be looking to end a worrying trend for the ex-FC Twente star.At both of his previous clubs in the Premier League, he has faced relegation to the Championship.ÂA hoodoo perhaps, but something to note.What else do we know about Leroy Fer? Here are FIVE things the Swansea faithful need to know about their new midfielder…
SHARP SHOOTER
Leroy Fer possesses a remarkable shot. The Holland international is capable of the odd screamer, as Swansea well know. While with QPR, he unleashed a rocket that flew Swans stopper Lukasz Fabianski on New Years Day 2015.
He followed that up with a thunderous effort against Newcastle United toward the end of last season.
With the Welsh side struggling for goals, having someone who can pip in from the engine room is bound to be helpful.
AERIAL ABILITY
At 6ft 2ins, the former Feyenoord man is a commanding presence in the air, useful at both attacking and defending set pieces. Capable of emphatic headers, the Dutchman will give the Swans an edge.
POWERFUL RUNNING
While he’s not a box-to-box midfielder in the most traditional of senses, his large frame yields some impressive speed when in full flow. Amid all of the technicians currently plying their trade in South Wales, his powerful and direct running can provide an effective outlet under pressure.
VERSATILITY
Fer himself has revealed he ‘can operate in a number of positions in midfield’ while at the Liberty Stadium.
He can play almost as a Number 10 in a 4-2-3-1, or on either side of a diamond, as well as even hold at the base of both formations.
QPR FANS HAPPY TO SEE HIM GO
Though we’ve waxed lyrical about the qualities he brings, it is important to approach his arrival with an air of caution. QPR fans on Twitter actually seem quite happy that Fer has departed Loftus Road.
Bearing in mind he’s an experienced international, that’s quite a big statement from fans of a Championship club.
