Makaay-Babel Pieters is at least at the moment a much better leftback then Emanuelson Drenthe/Emanuelson his replacements at leftback. and Jong-a-pin could also play there. too bad Donk wasn't selected, had a rough time but was just beginning to find his form, we might see a new and improved Donk next season. Other then that i would have taken Amrabat over Sibon anyday, and i still wonder about V.Bommel/ was he ever invited or not.

The 20 year old goalie moved from ADO Den Haag to the EPL three years ago. Krul, on standby for the Olympics, is supposed to be Henk Timmer's successor at Feyenoord in the future. Timmer - 36 years old - will have at least one more season as Feyenoord's number one. Feyenoord and Heerenveen are competing to sign Newcastle goalie Tim Krul.

These boys are praised during their run up to the first team. Remember, they don't have a lot of opposition in the youth competitions but the step up to the seniors is a big one. De Guzman needed that criticism and has learned. He must know he is sooo close to the top now (Oranje and who knows a big move in the next two years to the EPL for instance) that he will pay attention. Bruins only made his move last season to Feyenoord. This season will be his difficult sophomore season... Caleb: I think De G. is definitely maturing.

But I guess De Haan has a good point about mentality - we all saw what happens when players don't have the right mentality. Also interesting that he said De Guzman has that mentality because I remember an article about him before the EC talking about his lack of concentration and mistakes for Feyenoord. Is he maturing?

Looking forward to it especially since we dont have to stay up till all hours of the morning. Am a bit of an Aussie fan too of course :) Jan
