The College Dropout Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I see Nigel De Jong is on his way to 100 caps fro them too. Haven't seen much of van Ginkel, is he any good? BIG shoes to fill at Stoke now that N'Zonzi has gone. Niger de Jong isn't that bad really. In international football you can go a long way with 1 or 2 brilliant players. Robben was basically Holland's only attacking threat once Van Persie did his usual knockout stages disappearing act and they nearly got to the final I don't disagree. But you see a lot of "X is a Y international" as if that makes them good footballers for NUFC & PL by default on this forum. NDJ isn't that bad at all. However, 81 caps for Johnny Heitinga is unacceptable. The man played in the WC final right? That was some awful team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also its a provisional squad as Baba said Of course it does, it's the Dutch national team, not the San Marino team FFS. It doesn't matter whether it's provisional or a full squad, if he's being considered by the Dutch NT manager it suggests he is a good footballer, otherwise he wouldn't even be in a provisional squad. Delighted for him Must either have players missing or the standards have dropped in the Dutch national side massively Or the Dutch national team actually play football, something we haven't done in the entire team Anita has been here.

You can't just say because it's the Dutch national team that it means he's a good player. You have to look at the rest of the players in his position in the squad and the quality isn't very good in the Dutch midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only base on what I have seen in a black and white strip and it's not very impressive that's for sure - when Anita does more than be blown off the ball, dominates a game and passes the ball continuously in a forwards direction instead of 5 yards sideways or backwards then I may say he deserves the call up - not going to happen though one of the mos pointless signings I can remember but what makes it worse is that his mackem twin is right along there beside him - no wonder teams continuously dominate our midfield not hard to really with these two playing.

The College Dropout Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I don't see how you can judge Anita on his performances at NUFC and conclude he's very good. Kuyt & Heitinga's combined 180 odd caps would suggest both of them are fine, top quality players. But.......... they aren't and have never been!

Optimistic Nut Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Has he played for Holland at all since we signed him? We've probably got some clause in his transfer that we give Ajax some sort of add-on fee if he's capped by Holland during his time here, and this is just Blind doing his old club a favour since they're missing out on Champions League money this season.
