asks for Sunderland There is strong talk in the Dutch press that striker Brian Brobby will be the starting striker for the Netherlands this summer.
Today it is the turn of Wilfried Zinni and René van der Gijp to go through the Voetbl primer. He is very impressed with Brobby's new, 'ripped' physique at the Stadium of Life.
Impressive at Sunderland
Brian Brobby joined Sunderland on the final day of the summer transfer window and has since impressed.
Despite playing only 61% of the available minutes, the 24-year-old has scored seven goals and provided one assist in 30 matches in the Premier League this season.
His performances have seen him get back on track after a difficult end to his second spell at Ajax and put him firmly back in the Netherlands' sights. The calls for Ronald Koeman to be made the starting striker at the World Cup are growing by the week.
The striker appears to be a man reborn, having worked with a special coach this year Improve his game as well as his body.
It's paid off, and now people like Genie want to be given a chance. He heaped praise on the Sunderland striker during the "Krantjes" segment on the Vandal Inside Show this week.
"I was scrolling through Instagram when I came across a picture of Brobbie," says Wilfried Genie, before showing the image to Van der Gijp. "Just look at this: she's never been this ripped before."
Physics affects
Gijp agrees. "He is incredibly lean and fit. Would he be a viable option as the Netherlands' starting striker? Absolutely."
"During his time at Ajax we have never seen him like this. He is also scoring consistently in the Premier League. Would you really like to do that at the World Cup?" Ginny then asked her fellow panelists.
"Okay: Brobbey and Malen... I think Koeman will eventually take Memphis with him. But then, for five weeks in a row, the conversation will revolve around: Is he fit? Can he play? How long can he play? Can he start, or will he have to come off the bench?
"What a mess, man. Especially when you see those images of Brobby. I wouldn't hesitate for a second in choosing between a 100 percent fit Brobby and a physically struggling Memphis."
