Van Bommel reinventing Stengs as a midfielder instead of a forward was inspired. Really well rounded modern player that fits the role perfectly.

Was really skeptical about him when we signed him, because his stats at Antwerp weren't exactly good (only 1 goal and 6 assists in 25 league matches) but yeah he's been fantastic for us/

Saw him a few times for Antwerp, and had to look up his stats because i couldn't believe they were that bad. But he was far better than the numbers suggest, he basically ran their midfield, he was their key player. He played more deep though, progressing the ball from a CM position. Still just 24 as well, real bargain for Feijenoord.
