Incoming Dutch

[BW.k]

I think Boetius won't cut it at top level, although he is a talented player. I just think he's a little too one-dimensional and will face physical difficulties at the highest level.

Kishna could become the real deal if he keeps his act together and stays away from injuries. He's had two nasty injuries already. Both in the knee I think. Another one and he's done. But if he stays away from that and makes wise carreermoves (but with Raiola as his manager that's always a concern) he could definitely end up being another class act along with Depay. Kongolo looks very good too. Will be interesting to see his development the coming years. His brother already went to City though, hopefully he won't be that stupid. That will ruin his carreer like it has ruined so many carreers of young players. No talented player should leave the Eredivisie before 20 at least (22/23 would be even better). I agree with your assessment about Veltman. I'm not sure if he can toughen up. Hopefully Maher will be back on track this season. I still think he has great potential.

Yeah Maher looks top notch and I believe he'll end up deeper. Would be interesting to see how all of them develop. People say there isn't much talent in Dutch football but I believe with a bit of polishing and right decision making about the careers they can challenge at the top level.

After Di Maria snubbing us for Psg, I would not mind Memphis Depay here.

Mata(Kagawa/Rooney)
Januzaj(Valencia/Janko) - Van Persie(Welbeck/Hernandez/Wilson) - Welbeck/Rooney(Depay/Lawrence)​

He can be a better option than Young coming of the bench. However, I feel Giggs has taken a liking to Lawrence and as such, their will not be any young attacking player added to our squad. If a dutch player comes, it might be Blind to fill in the gap left by Buttner and Evra depature.

If we can't land Hummels -- and I don't believe for a moment we will -- Vlaar wouldn't be a bad acquisition. We really need depth at CB, unless anyone thinks we can land a world class CB, and Vlaar could give us solid depth. I certainly rate him above Vermaelen, with whom we have been linked.

But on the wish list the first name for me would be Strootman. He's injured now but he's class. Bring in Vidal now (yes, I realize he's Chilean) and Strootman in January and we're in very decent shape in midfield. We could dump Anderson and Fellaini for whatever crumbs we could get, while keeping Fletcher (cameo appearances) and the oddball appearance for Cleverley, who will eventually have to leave OT for lack of heart and ability.

Only stupid clubs are buying players from a good/great tournament performance

Holland played 532 because there defenders were that poor, and people want us to sign those defenders?

Ffs, Blind who's a cm, and Kuyt who's a winger/forward were there wingbacks.

They are an average side who had an incredible manager.

 

[Red Pavan]

Depay and De Vrij.

Blind looked a very decent player but we just signed Shaw.

 

[matherto]

I just don't see the reason for all the Depay clamouring.

He's not anything special.

I heard there is a quality dutch player called Robin Van Person who looks like a good signing.
