Wonderkid?
One of football's greatest prospects?
Believe me, if he doesn't change his mentality, he won't ever make it.
He is lazy, thinks his talent will bring him to the highest level.
Maybe you have been playing FM2006 or FM2007 too much, but anyone who watched some Anderlecht this season or last season will know we aren't making a mistake at all.
If VdB doesn't change his mentality, this one can be added on the Viola list of mis-buys.
I don't really agree on everything.
Yes Antho has been shite for the last season and a half. No wonder he doesn't make it to the first team anymore.
But it's not a wonder either that he got into the A selection when he was 17. The kid has loads of talent, and proved it with some flashes of brilliant play. I remember a goal he scored with a one-two with Wilhelmsson, that was beautiful, and proved to everyone that he
was gifted.
But Belgium seems to hate it's talent, and he got loads of critics for every mistake he did. Soon enough, everyone saw him as a spoiled and lazy kid with an atrocious mentality. This was partly right, but got out of proportions. Now, people in Belgium, even RSCA sups say he's bad and all...
That's horsecrap. The kid has loads of talent, but it's true he has problems. He doesn't fin his position on the pitch, which would be somewhere on the right, between the defence and the midfield...
With a good coach and a serene mentality, he has the ability to become one of Europe's hottest prospects.
If he joins Fiorentina, I can't predict how he'll turn out. He could become a good serieA player, but could also sink in the Arno without a trace.
Personally I wouldn't have paid 3M€ for him.
