Urby should concentrate as a creative holding mid.that would be a best position for him ,coz this guy is too versatile and skilled.he is not a natural left back and doesnt have physique of a diffender.
Our holding four should be
Schaars
De jong
Mendes da silva
Urby Emmanuelson.
Defininitly as a hold midfeider he is an oranghe material.
next candidates are
Van bommel ,de saaw
if we want to win the cup2010 we should have a mentaly balenced and courageous captain -Schaars is the man for that.

Why don’t Holland start with Schaar and De Zeeuw in the midfield? Robben on the right, and Elia on the left.

I loved Bouma and wish him well in his recovery! But he plays the same position as Gio when in Oranje and I can’t see the skipper losing his spot any time soon!

I would love to see Boula at CB in place of Ooijer!

Bouma came back after a year, trained with the Villa first team 2 months ago was named as a sub later but then broke down again. Not sure if he will come back in August ?

@ miguel, don’t know if you have noticed but Boulahrouz doesn’t play RB, neither does Ooijer or Maduro. V.d.Wiel and Heitinga are the primary rightbacks in this squad, with enough back-up by Zuiverloon, Mendes da Silva or even De Jong, so there’s no need for him to play there. Therefore i see no reason to replace the better of those two centerbacks with Maduro and leave an over-the-hill-and-into-a-ditch Ooijer in this squad.

BTW have you ever seen Liverpool’s Skrtel as RB, that’s ten times worse.

Although Ooijer-Mathijsen works for now against weak opponents, he should start looking for a new partnership, Heitinga-Bouma worked well, Heitinga-Mathijsen was bad, although it could have been the presence of Timmer in goal at the time. Boulahrouz-Mathijsen was a good one. But Maduro looks as a real possibility as well.
Only i doubt V.Marwijk will form a central partnership with two right-footed players in the back and two right-footed players in front on midfield.

Emanuelson should be further in his development, but i can’t see him succeed any time soon, since he is constantly changing positions and doesn’t really have a clear role on the pitch. When things are good, Urby looks impressive at times, but when things go bad, it’s like Ajax are a man down and he seems to drop shockingly in level.

Elia by far the biggest young talent together with Afellay, Babel and Drenthe clearly made mistakes in their career.
Wijnaldum, Beerens, V.Wolfswinkel, Fer, Biseswar, Amrabat, they’re a big step behind Elia right now.

@Alex: Yes, instead of Ooijer would be better but Boulahrouz as a central defender is good but as righ back sucks.
