Just read Demy de Zeeuw not in a hurry to renew with AZ but also not super keen to leave them. Champions League coming up for them. He would do well to work with Fabregas – Great combination !

I don't know if there are any offers from the top elite for him but next year when he plays UCL with AZ he'll be able to show himself to the world and then take the big step.

Then there's Mark the experienced Oranje player. And there's Mark the Bayern player. Stijn should quickly make his move from AZ to a big club. But which big club is awaiting Schaars? Hamburg? Everton? Well, there’s Mark the son in law. Then there’s Mark the experienced Oranje player. And there’s Mark the Bayern player.

Stijn should quickly make his move from AZ to a big club. But which big club is awaiting Schaars?

Hamburg? Everton?

That's the physical peak of a human male. He should be playing by now if he's to really become a star on the international stage. Van Bommel's 31 - he'll be 33 by the time the World Cup comes around. Having him in over Schaars is a real shame. I’d just like to point out that Schaars is 25 now. That’s the physical peak of a human male.

I'm sure these were qualities that served him well as the best striker in the world but as a coach it often worked against him. Actually there were times I wished I could have reached through the TV screen and shaken him just to show some emotion sometimes. Instead all he often did when we scored a goal was sit there and write something in his notebook as if one of his assistants couldn't keep track of which guy just scored the goal !
