You sure about that? Maybe he asked Stam? But he should beg him, and assure him that all he has to do is show up and play, no earning your spot in practice sh*t! Maybe if that offer was made Stam would consider even being as tired as he is from the Ajax shedule? But Marco would never offer that and Stam would have to be crazy to run around trying to impress MVB just to get sat on the bench in place of Jaliens or some other ridiculous MVB choice starter.

I believe van Basten actually begged Stam to consider playing before WC but he didn't want to... But Davids never retired, and would make a great fit on the team. Stam retired, did he not?

But Davids never retired, and would make a great fit on the team.

Or does it make more sense to have inexperienced and unproven players going in and out of the line-up, the team changing like the weather, but remaining bad. There is just no sunshine with Marco.

(anybody remember Bebeto in 94 when he scored against us...disgusting!!) the goal me made against Newcaste is the best move ever,,i even have a photo-collage (?) of the goal hanging in my livingroom (bought at Highbury), still not really sure what he did there and ive seen it a 1000 times, haha!! gtrz yes, Dennis is just taking it nice and slow…im sure we wont see him on the pitch as a manager or something…his character was always a part that i really liked…Jan said it really well…you can tell a players character also on the way they celebrate when they score…i hate it when they take of their shirts (thanks Fifa for stopping that) or even worse..doing a dance with teammates!!

A while back I bought the Arsenal Centurions Double DVD for the joy of 100 Berkamp goals. While I'm cetainly not going to knock Henry and his skills it was a pretty boring 100 when compared to Dennis'. Yes Jan those certainly are the comparisons, his understanding of motion and space were unique, genuis (not the cliche version of genius either.) Where is he now? Probably spending time with his family, he seems to be that kinda guy. @goose, thanks for the Bergkamp clips, gotta love Youtube.

As you said, Pele, JC, Diego...they were greats. But Bergkamp is in a category of his own. Stylist. Artist. For the love of the game, and nothing else. He is such a non-football player. No tattoos, drinkng, gambling, womanising... Always polite. Shy. Very well-groomed and on the pitch he was a ballet-dancer... Picasso, Nuyerev, Einstein, Da Vinci...those are the ones you want to compare Bergkamp with, right? Where is Dennis, by the way? So true! i really support that.
