News: Dutch players at home and abroad worthy to be tracked in connection with the Dutch NT - Part 4

What game are they attending?? Manchester United's last match??

 

The game PSV - Feyenoord

 

Nathan Ake and Marco Van Ginkel are expected to start for Chelsea today against Liverpool when they field a weakened 11

 

Vilhena got a couple of goals. Kongolo keeps showing he is better than all Feyenoord defenders.
Depay with a solid game. Ziyech with a goal and assist.

I thought Ebecilo for Feyenoord was good.

I was shuffling in between so many games so it was difficult to say who was better. I can't imagine the last time such a huge crop of guys came through but the league being s*** and they lack of technicality is still depressing.

Kongolo deserves a call-up. PVA I heard was decent as well.

 

Vilhena is a CM - A guy who can play Box to Box player. He probably has not played the 10 since the U-17's. he's of the many candidates who can possibly get an outside spot in the WC 23 for the "Strootman" position.

I liked Kongolo and even PVA to an extent. Vilhena IMO plays like a 30 year Old VDV - he's good with stats and stuff but does not produce that magic up-front. Still too early day's, he is 19-20 odd. He has got 3-4 years to develop into a Top Midfielder

 

Graziano Pelle has received NL citizenship and will join Oranje as second striker (okay, not really....LOL)

Van Aanholt will join Mourinho’s group for pre-season – although his exact involvement will depend on whether he goes to Brazil with the Netherlands having been named in their preliminary World Cup squad – in a bid to ‘save’ his Chelsea career. He turns 24 in August and although he qualifies as home-grown would need to be registered in the Premier League squad. Anything short of that and he’ll likely seek pastures new on a permanent basis.

 

I was encouraged with his involvement in last week's friendly vs. Ecuador. He moved up and down the field pretty fluidly, and seemed able to make meaningful contribution to attack. Defensively he wasn't tested, so yet to be seen if he can hold his ground on regular basis. Maurinho is a defense-first coach, so maybe he can develop PVA from this perspective. That said, as the article mentions, if he isn't promised regular playing times, he should not bothered coming back to Chelsea.

 

De Vrij being linked with Lazio:

Castaignos on his way to Swansea.. People there must have lost their marbles..

 

Need to see him do well as Oranje must develop some new class forwards. He has some potential.

 

Castaignos is probably the next big failure. Was rocking at Feyenoord at 17-18 and in a few years would have been great. Went to IntEredivisieer and again set his career few years back.

Took him a couple of years to recover at Twente and he seemed to be doing okay, forming a base for 2-3 good seasons in the Eredivisie and he decides to move again. Should have waited for 2 years more to atleast be in the best ST in the league and then move.

Swansea has Bony who is much better and even Michu can't start at ST.

Another potentially good career gone bust

 

Castaignos hasn't really impressed this year either. I'm amazed Twente is able to offload him for 8m to Swansea. Makes me wonder if these clubs actually scout players.

 

I am not saying impressed. I am saying from complete oblivion and the bench he actually started a string of games and did okay. Okay base to do something good in the future. Anyways lucky for Twente I guess. This guy has a huge chance to flop

 

Can someone start working on cloning Robben? And Cruyff and van Basten while you're at it

 

So BMI seems to be on his way to FC Porto. I hope our other defenders make a transfer as well. Ajax and Feyenoord will have replacements ready.

 

De Jong out for sure now

Enter Kuijt, Louis!!! I want him right in central midfield

 

If I look at the Newcastle forums, there is little praise for Pardew. Apparently he is a tactical dinosaur even by English standards. That doesn't bode well for the development of Dutch players at the club.
