Marco just needs to MAKE a team, 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 is secondary... totally agree on vanBommel...saw him play yesterday in the German Cup (he started from the bench) and he played well grz @Jan; thats right, dont like him at all (when i read back all my comments i start to look like someone who doesnt like any player!! haha..only Dennis!)
but i have to say that Engelaar has grown since he came back from Belgium.. i dont think hes oranje material but he IS one of the best midfieldplayers playing in Holland at the moment… think Rutten is doing a great job at FC Twente…other than Koeman he is able to make players actually play better!

I think Engelaar is more like a Michael Ballack. A tall, strong hardworking and smart midfielder. Big runs from box to box. Something like that. I think... Goose doesn't like him though...
