riquelme has been playing poor of late, especially compared to ronaldinho,

they would never give up puyol though. and we need puyol.

Riquelme is young, and Barca is no place for a youngster to develop. I'd be willing to give him a go even if he failed utterly at Barca.

I don't know about buying Puyol. He's good, but I think Zanetti might be easier to get, and Trabelsi cheaper.

Me too, the thing is that he's failing at Villareal, and that's kinda weak...

Ah. My bad. Another Mendieta? I remember them being compaired before the latter went to Lazio.

Nah. Mendieta is a fine player who's been great everywhere except at Lazio. Riquelme has failed to show any consistency in europe at all.

that's really a shame since he was such a huge prospect a few years ago!

Mendieta's been mediocre for Middlesborough - Juninho carries that team. That just leaves Valencia, doesn't it?

ehm about makaay hasselbaink and kluivert they are all crap the only good striker in holland is van nistelrooy and we will never get him.

 

[gray]

Makaay's crap? :wth:

 

[Slagathor]

Makaay has never performed well for the NT

 

[Dominic]

It's not like he gets many chances for the NT.

 

[Slagathor]

Because he doesn't do a good job when he DOES get a chance. Van Hooijdonk, Kluivert, Van Nistelrooy, they all performed excellent when they received a chance and hence they played (or still play).

Makaay doesn't show anything when gets a chance.

 

[Dominic]

Makaay only gets to play 20 minutes everytime.
Against Belgium he played from the start of the second half, he scored. Kluivert isn't performing, Van Hooijdonk deserves to be called up but he doesn't perform any better than Makaay.

Ah well van Nistelrooy is the best choise, ofcourse.

Makaay reminds me of our very own di vaio, sometimes he can be class, but often not exist or miss reallly really easy chances.

 

[Dominic]

Hmm, i've never seen Makaay miss really easy chances, Makaay is one cold striker.

 

[#10]

Depor vs i think it was mallorca last season.....basically it was an open goal....he fluffed it wide.

Two seasons ago, when he was off form, he was missing chances for fun.

But last season i have to admit he was deadly.

But he doesn't do anything for the team. He awaits his chance, that's all he does.

In Dutch football, that's not the way to play. Not at all.

 

[Dominic]

True, Makaay doesn do much for the team.

You don't have to tell me about Dutch football though.

 

[Slagathor]

Wasn't insinuating you didn't know anything about Dutch football, just added it for clarity's sake

 

[Dominic]

Dan is het goed .

Makaay isn't a creative player like Kluivert or Van Nistelrooy, but to say that he awaits his chance is a bit off. The guy can and does drop deep, and he's good when he does, hell he used to paly right wing for the NT. He's not a typical Dutch forward, but he's not like Trezeguet either.
