really? what a coup.
Heard nothing of it.
Ricky Van Wolfswinkel looks set to miss out on the Euro's not even getting a look in apparently. Any one want to elaborate as to why?
The main forwards I can see going are
- Robin Van Persie
- Klaas Jan Huntelaar
- Luuk De Jong
- Bost (at push)
He was in a Dutch tv show last weekend and more or less confessed that his agent had talked to Arsenal. Vertonghen and Siem were also in London when Arsenal played Milan to cheer on former Ajax players Vermaelen, Emanuelson, Zlatan and Seedorf.
Bert van Marwijk is pretty biased and loyal to the older players like Kuyt and van Bommel, those two always start no matter what form they are in. Luuk de Jong is probably seen as a perfect pinch-hitter due to his size/height, but I would prefer to have van Wolfswinkel on the bench since he is more experienced. Van Wolfswinkel and Dost doesn't really get a look in so their chances of making the squad are pretty slim. Future looks very bright though.
I think Holland's squad will look a little like this;
GK: Stekelenburg, Vorm, Krul
DF: van der Wiel, Bouhlarouz, Heitinga, Bruma, Mathijsen, Vlaar, Emanuelson, Pieters
MF: van Bommel, VDV, Sneijder, Strootman, Schaars, Nigel de Jong,
FW: Robben, Huntelaar, RVP, Afellay, Kuyt, Luuk de Jong
