On the contrary, I think he can become important at HSV. A wise decision (though only time can tell). His role at ajax was pretty much over, other talents can fill his role. I do agree with Koeman that playing with two defensive whimps like VDV and Sneijder is pretty stupid.

Wow, what I just read on the VI site:

Van Nistelrooy wants to return to PSV in 2008, when his contract with ManU ends. I doubt ManU is too happy with this though.

I guess it could have worked with a reliable Galasek between them.

Thats come up in the English media before. I guess there is the possibility that he might stay for a bit longer and then leave.

Well, he had said before that he wants to return, but I didn't know when.

Schip · 23-05-2005, 14:45

he will be 31 when that happens, so it seems like a good choice to me.

Gullit leaves Feyenoord....

In Dutch, sorry.

I can't say I like this. IMHO the board (van den herik, etc.) are more to blame... No coach can win if the players just aren't good enough...

EDIT: after seeing the other thread I realize I am a bit late....

So true.

OTOH, it isn't v.d herik who bought those players in the first place. The technical director Wotte did, but I can't imagine he did this without the consent of Gullit. Apparently Gullit just wanted a lot of new players, not just good ones. The players Feyenoord has might be good enough for 4th place, but with Gullit that doesn't even mean that those players can beat all the teams below 4th place.

No matter how bad the defenders are, they still should be able to defeat Den Bosch. And they're not that bad, but still they lost. Gullit can't make them play together. The forwards got better, but apparently Gullit hasn't the skills to make a defender better. Or even to do his job properly. This is particularly painful regarding Gullits statement before the start of the new season that the basis of a good team should be a solid defence.

2-0, easy win. How did Van Persie manage to miss that?

They did not play well though nor did Romania. Finland away seems no Walkover, expecting a small win.
