So you'd rather have older players who we're gonna have to sell after a few seasons, rather than a very promising youngster who could very well turn out to be as good if not better than Nedved?
Great reasoning :groan:
It doesn't matter to me if Van der Vaart is a very promising talent, as he has done nothing till now. He won nearly nothing, was never really the best player at Ajax and I was never impressed with his performances. But the Euro 2004 can turn me wrong. But again, it is very risky to replace your best player with an unprooven youngstar.
I laughed about Diego and Rosicky as I said about 1000 times what I think about them. But for you I say it again.
Diego is 18 or what and plays in Brazil! He is not prooven in Europe, is way way too young (and I hope you at least agree here). Give him time.
Rosicky on the other hand is the most overrated player in the world. He did nothing till now, is injury prone and thats why not one big club in the world is interested in him. Believe me, I watch Bundesliga very often, and Rosicky is not the player we want!
All these youngstars are too unexperienced and nobody would sell his best player too replace him with a 22 - 23 year old kid! I can't remember a club, who did that!
