I love de Boer, and would want to pick him every week. The question is, what is our team lacking? Assuming we have Fyfe, Mundy, Neale and Barlow still in the team next year - and I hope we do - we've probably got enough tough inside players. Again, I think he's a victim of the current make-up of the team. What we need is some more run and spread, and some precision ball users. He's not that, and I think some of our younger players will come in to play that role.
On the right team, I think he could be a handy pick-up.
