with Boulahrouz (Chelsea) and Mathijsen (HSV)coming back, defence will be stronger.Heitinga or Ooijer for left back? think Old oo could do better.
What about mid field mix? Sneijder+ De jong + Schaar please. No Lanzaart any more

Please no Heitinga, Ooijer has played very bad since his move to Blackburn (own goals, giving away penalties etc) think he needs time to settle down (he was terrible against Lux. aswell)

agree: no Landzaat, still think Schaars – Seedorf – vanBommel

ill just keep on dreaming eh… youre probably right (dont like deJong in Oranje), still think its very weak
