Interesting. I don't know about the defenders, but Clasie has received a lot of praise this season. He's also been dubbed as the 'Dutch Xavi' by Goal. That doesn't say a lot, but nevertheless, it does indicate somewhat what we might expect from him if he were to join us.

Also, Van Gaal loves Dutch players so I guess the rumour isn't complete bullshit.
 
Bit cheeky if he's going to nab players he's taking to the World Cup. Their current clubs must feel a bit miffed at that. How can you stop a manager of another club from speaking to your players if they're stuck in the same hotel for a month?
 
Having not heard of this Clasie lad before opening this thread 30 seconds ago, I approve of signing him. Great technique and potential imo.

Completely agreed on all fronts, although I'm not sure how great his technique is, I just know that he's solid.
 
My memory's far from perfect, but I think there was a Dutch newb who recently said he wasn't impressed with Clasie, or any other Dutch midfield talents in particular.

We have rubbish talents right now and have been going through a period where we have produced nothing players... the complete opposite to Belgium and Germany. They are where we were ten years ago when we had Robben, Sneijder, RvP and VdV coming through.
Maher was supposed to be the dogs bollocks a year ago, look at him now... chosen to be the flop of the season.

I'd be worried if van Gaal is looking into the (muddy, quicksand-like) pool of Dutch talents... but I wouldn't be surprised.

I think Depay is the mutts nuts.
 


The deal to make Louis Van Gaal the new United manager could be confirmed today. We'll hear from the man himself #SSN
 
He's going to fill our squad with Dutch dross at this rate. There's not many top level Dutch players knocking about that aren't already at top clubs. He tried doing this at Barca and it didn't go down well.

The Dutch players he signed for barca were top quality - only cocu was viewed as a risk and he was a free transfer. Kluivert ended up one of their highest goal scorers.

Dutch dross? Strootman and Klasie improve our team significantly. Given cash needs to be spent in numerous positions, what do you expect?

hasn't he just signed a contract extension until 2016 in the last few weeks?
 
Difference with Van Gaal, is if he makes a weird decision, I think players/fans will give him more leeway as he obviously has experience at this level. Moyes didn´t so was constantly second guessed
 
I think Depay is the mutts nuts.
Boëtius and Depay are the only two dutch players I'd gamble on. Strootman would improve our crap midfield but he sure isn't a great player.
 
SSN have an interview with LVG?

No. When they say we'll hear from the man himself what they're saying is we'll chase the poor sod down the street and ask the same questions that he's stated 1,000,000 times he can't answer. The interviewers got a smile on his stupid face, I credit LVG for not just smacking him. They'll repeat that nonsense and call it an update. It's a play on words. Yes, SSN are gimps.

"Journalism" right?
 
Its becoming glaringly obvious that Woodward is as much if not more so to blame for our last summer of embarrassments. He seems utterly clueless when it comes to spending money.

No worries, we are getting Reus according to your sources. I keep calm and read your posts.
