Get off your horse mate. The United Netherlands was a superpower in the 1600s, and we still haven't finished imploding. If bigger clubs from bigger countries want him; he's gone.

Those were some good times, huh.


We should really start forming that BeNe-liga.

or rather if you had the team of 98 right now

Jaap Stam said no when Van Basten asked him - that's when we lost the World Cup as far as I'm concerned

I'm still sorry that Benelux thing didn't take off a few decades ago. We could be one nation now... with 4CL berths maybe? int:

and 4 dutch teams taking them

No, It'd be something like PSV, Ajax, Feyenoord and Anderlecht.

So only 3 .

I have no idea whatsover what Van Basten is like as a coach , can you guys feel me in as to what you think of him as a manager? Is he more Michels than Van Gaal? Is he as good or better than his Milan peers Ancelotti, Rijkard,Gullitt , Koeman and Donadoni?Is he negative or positive? As he taken the team forward from 2004 ec?

He's still forming his managerial style. But, his results speak for themselves. He relies mostly on his tactical knowlege of the game, and selects players that fit into the optimum formation. He knows how to build team spirit (difficult in a dutch squad), but I'm not confident that he can outcoach top level international coaches like Scolari, Hiddink, Arena, or Klinsmann...

Feyenoord...

Feyenoord...

Feyenoord will recover.

Ian, I am not sure if Klinsmann can be categorised as a top coach as yet. One thing you Dutch guys should ponder is that whenever Germany have hosted a major tournament, Holland have gotten to the final. Its amazing how we often hear there is no place for losers but thats not necessarily true. As the Dutch team that lost in the final to W. Germany are still talked about today. In some ways they are more memorable than the team they lost to. It just goes to show that good football can have its own rewards in history too. I was watching a documentary on Cruyff on espn classic and he claimed that they are talked about more now than they would have been if they actually won the game. In a perverse way , he is actually right

The days of Cruyff are long gone and statistics are meaningless as far as I'm concerned. Twice the Germans hosted something, twice we made it to the final, once we won? Is that the list? It doesn't inspire a whole lot of confidence in me :undecide:

We Dutch are just not like the English that way. '1988' was great, but it's over 15 years ago. We would never keep telling the story of '1966' the way the English do. There's a humongous cultural difference there

Feyenoord will recover.

Oh of course they will, they always do.

One season per decade. Hand in hand kameraden; kampioen Eredivisie 2009 :cheesy:

Maybe Klinsmann isn't top yet, but my point was that a lot of Dutch people act as if Van Basten can out coach anyone. I don't think that he's that good yet, and in the WC, a lot comes down to the coach.

Juve is interested in the services of Hedwiges Maduro(22),Huntelaar(24) and Heitinga(24)

http://sports.alice.it/it/cmc/calcio/200712/cmc_107541.html

I like all three of them especially Huntelaar who in my opinion would be a good Investment if Trezeguet really leaves...

I doubt all three will come but one of them would be fine for me

 

[Mark]

Huntelaar is young and could learn from Trez but if we buy him it could mean Trez gone so...

Heitinga is another Zebina.

Muduro...boh!

you can add Sneijder to the list...I'd take him and let him learn a thing or two from Pavel.

 

[tonykart]

They are all good, but I don't want to see Italia Ajax. Heitinga is too small, Huntelaar is too young, and Maduro is... mmm... pretty good... There are better options.

Jesus, you are so annoying with this nationality issue. We all want a back-bone of Italian players in Juve but you are really taking this matter into extremes.

 

[sateeh]

like Mark said, huntelaar ? mybe

maduro and heitinga? hell no, both very average and wouldn't add much to the team

if we're talking about Sneijder ,well now that would be a great buy.

 

[A͎u͎s͎h͎]

Heitinga would be good for our first year back, maduro is pretty young and will improve and especially since Ajax youngers are very good aswell. And Klass is just Klass
