Wim Kieft does not understand much of PSV’s interest in Joey Veerman. In the view of the former player of the Eindhoven club, the sc Heerenveen midfielder does not fit at all into the system that trainer Roger Schmidt uses with the number two in the Eredivisie. Johan Derksen does not entirely agree with Kieft and thinks that Veerman would be a good purchase for PSV.
“I hear that PSV may or may not be interested in Joey Veerman and Davy Pröpper. But that interest actually goes against Schmidt’s entire philosophy”, said Kieft on Friday evening. Veronica Inside. “Because he always plays with those two checkered guys there in midfield, Pablo Rosario and Ibrahim Sangaré. Then suddenly there would be a footballer like Veerman. He doesn’t fit in the system at all, does he ultimately?”, Kieft asks. wondering out loud.

Joey Veerman’s agent reacts to Voetbalzone on statements made by Valentijn Driessen.
Derksen sees a role for Veerman in Eindhoven: “They really need him there at PSV. Look, I think that Pröpper is an excellent player. Also at Brighton. He was only injured and never returned. They say then. at PSV that the Veerman is too expensive, but then I think: Don’t you scout in the Kitchen Champion Division? Heerenveen picked him up from Volendam for almost free “, the football talk show analyst refers to Veerman’s transfer to Friesland in 2019.
Van der Gijp thinks that Heerenveen will only benefit from a premature departure of Veerman from the Abe Lenstra Stadium: “On the other hand, I can also understand Heerenveen again, because Sangaré also has to pay ten million euros. also every ball into the opponent. Heerenveen does not benefit at all from keeping him (Veerman, ed.), because what are the ambitions of Heerenveen? So they live off the sale of such players ” , according to Van der Gijp. According to it Eindhovens Dagblad Heerenveen is asking at least twelve million euros for Veerman, an amount that PSV finds too much.
Schmidt is in any case charmed by Veerman, as it turned out at the press conference on Friday. “He always has good ideas and makes the right decisions under pressure. He always thinks ahead and always looks for the wingers and center forward. He’s a good player, so.” When asked if he would like Veerman to join PSV, Schmidt said: “We’ll see, I don’t know if it’s possible to get such players. I know it’s not that easy to transfer Dutch players from other clubs. They are always very expensive, so I don’t know if we can get such top players from the league. I don’t know how expensive it is, but I know from conversations about players from other clubs that it is not self-evident that PSV player can buy. The financial side is always something to take into account “, the trainer explained.
