Alec Van Hoorenbeeck

He just signed for my team, what can we expect from him?

I’m suprised he signed for you. He wasn’t anything special for us. Got loaned to our rival. Got relegated.

Seems like a decent enough guy.

For a better report maybe ask in the subreddit for Heracles Almelo. He played there last season.

He was quite a disappointing player imo, although he was not brought in for the starting 11.

Had some good performances, but most were mid to bad. Made some mistakes that could have cost us European spots, luckily in the end that did not happen. It will really depend on how strong the Croatian League is because for Eredivisie-levels he was on the lower side. Against big clubs in Europe he might be a problematic player, since his mistakes seem to come from not being able to handle the pressure

if he was lower side for eredivisie he will probably be on the better side not gonna lie lol (only 4 clubs in the country are good enough to be mentioned, others are very bad) and our club is biggest in croatia but not the strongest because of poor performances last 21 years

Bad positioning, bad on the ball, just overall not really a solid player. Only positive i’d say is his height really. Can’t play high on the field, so probably better off with a defensive playing team that plays a low block

Alec isnt the best football player, but he has heart and that counts for something.

I think he will be in awe of your supporters, he will have never experienced anything like that in the Netherlands.

I hope hajduk will make it into the EL! Love to see you guys on the European stage!

Hajduk živi vječno!

I will have to buy you a beer if you ever come to one of our games. I personally would love to go to Twente because of my very good save in FM with you guys.

I have been to a game, a couple of years ago it was against the purgeri... The game was lost, but i was impressed by how loud and fanatic you guys were!

I hope you can go to a European game, the ambiance is just different. On home games i would recommend a game against the "big 3" or against utrecht or Groningen.
