Swinging OranjeU17 gets lesson…

@Srinjoy…Ferenc is one of wisest football fan in the earth,the man deserves shear respect,why i am saying coz i know him personally.You can stop De gea only by mental torturing and demoralization.Lindegraad will have a hard time.Ferguson looks long term replacement like peter/Edwin.He already admitted that he made mistake in Edwin’s case by not signing him in 1999.he will not make repeated mistake and thats why he ignored 28 year old stekelenburg.
i have seen De gea the guy is mesmerizing,like rubber bush.he needs some experience and organizational ability in defense.

@Petrovic: http://www.fr12.nl/nieuws/15004–feyenoord-en-psv-naderen-akkoord-over-wijnaldum-.html

Surely tomorrow will be confirmed.

Tiju,Van den Saar still had around 28 years in 1999.,like Stekelenburg now,so that doesnt make much sense… Maybe he made a mistake again.:)

Thanks Keko.

Srinjoy – i’m not biased at all,have strictly no feeling towards atletico madrid and their players – with barca (and in a much lesser degree villareal and bilbao) players i might be biased,but generally speaking apart from barca and barca players i really don’t care too much about spanish clubs and spanish players. but i have been following de gea’s career since the beginning,and he reminds me the young iker casillas. he’ll be one of the great goalkeepers of the 2010s.
i have no problem with scandinavian players,especially with your beloved danes (after all in the mid nineties i spent one fantastic year in danemark).

Rob, i don´t care foreing talents. I am interesting in dutch ones.

Ajax should buy Wijnaldum. Buying Jansses was a good move now they should buy a top quality attacker.

Tiju: thx,my friend. actually i don’t consider myself as a football expert – have not too much time for watching football.

I meant Janssen

City of Eindhoven buys the land that Philips stadium and De Herdgang sit on, PSV still owns the stadium. Back on sound financial footing, time to buy players.

As far as “confirmed news” the Stekelenburg is leaving, a tidbit from de Boers news conference:

“There is no concrete interest at the moment for Jan Vertonghen, Gregory van der Wiel and Maarten Stekelenburg. It would be a shame of course if an offer would could at the last minute, right before the transfer deadline. I hope that all three would stay and that they realize that we’re doing great things with Ajax.”

Good news for all Ajax fans!

Goal.com is a gossip column and makes me sick. What worse is I check it every day knowing that its horsecrap. I need help. like everyone on this blog.

Don’t kid yourself people Man United will buy Stekelenburg, maybe not this year but in a couple of years. De Gea will flop (just my opinion), Steks will do well in Roma and United will buy him in a season or two for the same price Roma paid for him. After all, he’s a keeper and will not go up top much more in value.

Spot on jason de gea will flop just as foster and kuszack did and then steks will sing on! Ajax really r going places though….

@Petrovic: Yes, England 4th? Glad to see that FIFA has sorted out all their corruption problems.

haha yeh even i rofled when i saw england at fourth

HAHA Petrovic and Finnster u hit the nail on the head….

Fourth best? Fourth rate more like

And there we were thinking FIFA hated England. Yet the latest world rankings issued by Sepp Blatter’s statistic department suggest that – please ensure you are sitting down as you engage with this news -England are the fourth best footballing nation in the world.

It is true: there they are in the Coca-Cola sponsored list just behind Spain, Netherlands and Germany, ahead of Brazil, Italy, Portugal, Croatia, Mexico, Argentina and the rest of the footballing planet. And then people accuse Fleet Street of hyping up the claims of our national XI way beyond sustainable means.

How, you might wonder, can this have happened? This is the team who, precisely a year ago, drizzled out of the World Cup at the last 16 stage with a performance as inept as any witnessed at the entire competition (and that includes North Korea’s spanking by Portugal). Remember how they lost against Germany? That was a game in which they played about as well as Ed Milliband.

Have things improved so much in the meantime that we can now consider John Terry and his boys the fourth best team in the world? Apparently they have. What a difference victory over Wales can make.

It has long been impossible to believe a word that emanates from FIFA HQ in Zurich (Qatar a suitable place for a World Cup! Jack Warner declared innocent of all hint of corruption! The election of its president a beacon of democracy!), but calling England the fourth best football team in the world is surely the most ludicrous suggestion even from this most ludicrous governing body. It is about as accurate as calling Black Lace the fourth best rock band of all time, or Hangover Part Two the fourth best comedy movie, or Alan Shearer the fourth best football pundit.

The last time anyone looked this was the side struggling to draw at home with Switzerland and various parts of the former Yugoslavia, a team by no means certain to make it out east for the European Championships next summer. Shouldn’t the fourth best team in the world be a certain starter in their continental competition?

Mexico, on the other hand, now there’s a story: up 19 places in the latest chart after winning – rather than merely looking as though they might fail to qualify – their local competition, the CONCACAF Gold Cup. This was a tournament in which Javier Hernandez scored seven times: the boy could go far. The last time England played, just to remind you, they featured Darren Bent up front. Who didn’t score. Yet they are a full five places above the Mexicans, who, just to reinforce the oddness of the table, beat the United States 4-2 in the Gold Cup final. The same USA that England just about managed to draw with last summer.

Of course rankings tables are not always the most accurate of devices. Rory McIlroy, for instance, currently sits third in the golf top 10 behind his fellow Britons Luke Donald and Lee Westwood, despite winning the US Open in a manner which led many sage observers to suggest he is the most dazzlingly gifted sportsman to emerge from these islands since his compatriot George Best. Meanwhile, Maria Sharapova, who looks as if she is going to shriek her way to an easy victory at Wimbledon, is ranked as the sixth best woman tennis player.

But England fourth best at football? Currently better, according to the governing body of the sport, than Brazil, Portugal and Argentina, never mind St Kitts and Nevis? Is this Sepp’s idea of satire? Or have the blazers at the FA finally realised that the only way to deal with FIFA is to play the game by their rules and have slipped them a little back hander to buy their place up the table?

Not to discount the hint of something better ahead that is heralded by the promise of Jack Wilshire, Ashley Young and Phil Jones, England are about as far from the stable contenders suggested by this wholly bizarre elevation as GB tennis is from producing another decent player. If we are going to come up with a numerical assessment, the last time anyone saw them play they looked not so much fourth best as second rate.

england fourth? no comment.

Srinjoy: this goal.com article is pure speculation. how the hell they know what kind of system gasperini wants to apply? he was appointed 3 days ago. the fact that he played 343 at genoa doesn’t mean he will do the same at inter. if both sneider and eto’o stay inter will be competitive. epl is not better than serie a.

@Ferenc: Have you been smoking drugs again? “Epl is not better than serie A”?

@Finn: how many cl was won in the last 10 years by italian and by english clubs?

C’mon ferenc evryone knows serie a is not even considered in the top 4 leagues anymore..bundesliga is far superior!
