Ikon Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Kluivert has always been a favourite of mine! Soooo elegant! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Kluivert was going downhill when he arrived here but at Ajax he was one of the most complete centre forwards I've seen. Marco van Basten is probably the other one who made scoring goals look like art. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Kluivert was class - just a pity he had lost his desire, by the time he joined us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Considering De Jong had barely played I think he's done well so far. He's all round game is very good and if he can start scoring we're gonna have a class striker on the books. Does any know much about the deal, like if there's an option to buy. Fee agreed etc?

Mattoon Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 If we can keep Remy then I think we need to keep LDJ too, he seems the perfect foil for him and if he starts chipping in with his own goals we'll have a formidable strike force. Of course that would require us to have some ambition! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 One of my favourite players of all time (outside of nufc players) Maybe not very consistent, but was lovely to watch on his day. You're wrong again.... Kluivert did play for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I can see why he went for all that money (considering his goal record in Holland). Even if he could only manage Gouffran type numbers in front of goal he would be well worth the money. His all round game is genuinely great. We haven't had this type of team forward since Bellamy (although in a much different way) or dare I say Kluivert? Viduka? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Kluivert is one of my favourite all-time players and while he wasn't exactly great for us, I can at least say I saw him play for us. If he had Christiano Ronaldo's professionalism or attitude we would be talking about one of the all-time greats in Kluivert because for me anyway, as a CF, he had the lot. He was a number 10 and a number 9. He was better than Ronaldo and Shearer when playing at his absolute best, but his attitude was never the best. He was an absolutely sublime footballer though. Barca should be my second club because I grew up idolising Romario, Stoichkov, Hagi, De la Pena, Guardiola, Kluivert, Rivaldo etc. I used to love watching them in the early to late 90s.

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Wasn't De La Peña a flop at Barca? Flawed Genius is how i'd describe him, had some ridiculous moments but also had games where he did nothing. Guti was similar, but like De La Pena i loved watching them both in full flight.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Better than Ronaldo!? No, obviously not, but at his absolute best he was a better all-rounder for me because he was not only a number 9 but also a number 10. He could never put in the consistency though and that was partly down to his general attitude. Like I said, if he applied himself the way Christiano Ronaldo does, we'd be talking about him in the same vein as he and indeed Ronaldo et al, rather than a great player at some point which is what he'll be remembered as. The day we signed him though, and that performance in the friendly at home to Barca... I dreamed of him playing for us and he did. Even though he was well past it when he joined us, he stood out massively as an extremely talented player, one we've rarely seen in our colours.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Wasn't De La Peña a flop at Barca? Injured a lot from what I remember but he was a lovely player, and a tough guy too. Barca over the years man. I know Real have had Zidane and Raul, Ronaldo and Christiano Ronaldo and Figo of course, but Barca have had some ridiculous talent.

He did but mainly because he was a youth product.... he was always a very inconsistent player capable of ridiculous moments of magic like De La Pena. Obviously there's no comparison with their career paths but in terms of how they played i found them to be similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
