Just read that John Metgod returned to Feyenoord as scout.

Abe – so which is it, is Van Nistelrooy getting pretty old or is he a young attacker?
But seriously, have Robben only as a sub for Guti? Sell Diara?? Are you sober? First, Robben and Guti play different positions, and they can/are normally both on the field at the same time. (Ideally Guti moves and Vaart replaces him, but who knows what’ll happen there). Second, Robben played fantastic for Madrid in all the games he started near the end of last season, he should remain a starter.
And you can’t sell Diara just because Gago is getting better. Even if Gago becomes your regular starter instead of Diara, they still need a back up, especially considering all the games they play in a season.

I think Hunter will move. Negotiations with Ajax have been stopped. The big strikers carousel is ready to start: Arshavin, Eto’o, Ronaldinho, Drogba (Crouch already left Pool)…So Hunter will do what he does best: wait, wait more, nudge his opponent and then SCORE!

I say: Hunter goes to Barca!

So, it’s official or not? Now, there’s no Dutch player at Barca. All of Dutch NT move to Madrid . Only one player left, he is Huntelaar. Will he move?

Guti, Raul, and vNistelrooy are getting pretty old, and Robinho is likely to move. This leaves space for young attackers and midfields like Sneijder, Robben, Vaart, Higuain and vNistelrooy to all be in the starter. I think Robben shouldnt be a starter yet until Guti leaves, but they should sub him in every game for guti, same with higuain until raul leaves. I think Madrid should buy 1 defence, because Pepe and Ramos are good, but Heinze and Cannavaro are getting old, and putting Drenthe on would be pretty ridiculous because now it would truly be the holland team. Madrid should also sell Diara, as Gago is experienced enough to replace him completely. My ideal starter line would be:

Casillas

Ramos- Cannavaro- Pepe- New Defence
-Gago-
Vaart- – Guti
-Sneijder-
Raul Nistelrooy

Just read the Soren Lerby – Raf’s manager – denies the move.

And Ajax set it’s sights on Ishmael Aissati. I thought he’d moved to FC UTrecht already…

Yeah, Robinho will go, so will Guti I think. And Raul is getting on.

Metgod must have felt the rise of Koeman and Rijkaard . I don’t know exactly. He did move to Feyenoord in the autumn of his career and was quite important for them as skipper. He assisted Bert van Marwijk during his first tenure (with Mario Been).

I hope van der Vaart doesn’t move to Madrid, because there is no space for him with Guti, Robinho, Robben, Sneijder, Raul, van Nistelrooij already playing. Robinho might be moving but still.
