PSV strengthened itself for the second time in this transfer period with a keeper on Wednesday. The people of Eindhoven took twenty-year-old Vincent Müller away from Würzburger Kickers; Yvon Mvogo, the current first goalkeeper, was previously taken over from RB Leipzig on a rental basis. According to the analysts of Football talk PSV could have looked closer to home and attempted to get Joël Drommel of FC Twente.

The new trainer Roger Schmidt values ​​the footballing qualities of his goalkeepers and that was an important reason for the arrival of Mvogo. In his first league match, away against FC Groningen (1-3 victory), a wrong pass by Mvogo to Jorrit Hendrix led to a goal against; six days later, against FC Emmen (2-1 win), he had a bouncing back pass from Philipp Max under his foot, which also resulted in a goal against.

Commentator Vincent Schildkamp, ​​in turn, calls Drommel ‘perhaps the best soccer-playing goalkeeper in the Netherlands’ and adds that FC Twente ‘will always have to sell’ with a good offer, as the financial situation in Enschede still leaves much to be desired. Hans Kraay junior agrees with Schildkamp’s analysis. “If PSV wants to get rid of all the misery in one go, it has to get Drommel. You’re not going to tell me that Mvogo is playing better than Drommel,” said the analyst.

“Drommel is not going to build up with players who are chased. How many balls has he put on the tie at the backs against Feyenoord in sixty meters?”, Kraay junior wonders, referring to last Sunday’s match in De Kuip (1 -1). “That is also playing football, isn’t it? That is functional. He also achieves his goal and has a good reflex.” More than a week earlier, Drommel kept the zero in the first league match of the new season against FC Emmen (2-0).

If it had been up to Kraay junior, the keepers of both Feyenoord and FC Twente would be part of the pre-selection of the Orange for the duels with Mexico, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Italy next month. Interim national coach Dwight Lodeweges, however, chose Marco Bizot, Jasper Cillessen, Tim Krul, Jeroen Zoet. “I hardly see any goalkeepers who reach their goal anymore, but Joël Drommel and Justin Bijlow do. At the moment Cillessen is the best, but I would always include Drommel and Bijlow in the selection. They are both better than Krul and Bizot, and much better than Sweet. “
