The distant future then perhaps because the youth system is ill, very ill at the moment...

I hope so!

To that extend he was a leader indeed. But real leader or not - always a big miss that guy!

Bergkamp was never a real leader. He was just a man up front who could hold the ball, someone you could always pass it to. That function remains unfilled even today!

Well that's true but with so much talent in Kluivert, Hasselbaink, Makaay and Van Hooijdonk, the options are there! Surely he could have solved the problem until Van Nistelrooy returned!

For a considerable part it was. Of course not entirely, it never is.

He's good, not perfect. He's got the talent, now if he finds a way to get it back he'll be perfect. He's proven he can do it with Ajax but failing like that with the Dutch NT is far from perfect!

Even if he handled the media correct he would still be far from perfect ;)

True, he can't handle the press at all! He lets them get to him...

Ditto. Van Gaal tried this trick in both Barcelona and Holland and it's not working!
