    Really funny lineup. Hoever was a nothing prospect at Ajax and he gets a cup match at Liverpool and is now a projected starter!

    He is progressing really well. I think it's quite reasonable to pencil him into a 2025 lineup as of right now

    I personally have huge hopes for him

    Interesting lineup, but i think :
    up front Nick Venema will develop as our main striker and as advanced midfielder the most likely prospect is Guus Til.

    The only youth teams I really follow are Ajax. There are a number of great prospects that could easily be ready by 2025: Timber twins, Hoogwerf, Brobbey, Unuvar, Gravenberch, van Gelderen, are among those who stand out. Anyone who seeks to predict 6-7 years out ought to keep the following names in mind: Klaassen, Bazoer, el Ghazi, Fosu-Mensah (much better youth player than Hoever). and so on.

    what about Noa Lang. he is also a verstaile player upfront. I hope he takes up that AM position in future.the big question is can he be the next sneijder.

    I don't think he's good enough based on the matches I've seen.

    Redan and Chong are facing an uphill battle. Sadly, to date, we haven't seen any Dutch player who switched to Big League prematurely in young age making real meaningful impact. For wingers, my money is on Kluivert or Stengs.

    Frenkie and Donny anchoring the midfield... not only in the future, but I would argue this should be happening now already. If allowed "growing up together", in five years, they would be monsters (see Xavi - Iniesta).

    I like Ihattaren at no. 10... quite skillful and very composed. Seems like he's pretty close to debut at PSV senior. He and Kokcu (surprisingly omitted from the list altogether) are two bright attacking-minded wonderkids in midfield.

    I don't think that is a very good projected line-up tbh. There's no way Gravenberch won't be in the team as far as I'm concerned.

    Bergwijn - Redan - Kluivert
    de Jong - Gravenberch
    Eiting
    Bakker - van Dijk - de Ligt - Dumfries
    Bijlow
    For me. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Wijnaldum was able to hold down the 6 in this formation if he can stay healthy.
     
  9. Well, according to Liverpool sources Hoever blew the stars of Liverpool and Klopp away with how he marked Sala. Since that first raining with the squad he hasnot been out of the selection.
    I say if players at Liverpool are blown away by what they saw I think it's obvious you're not a struggler.

    Guys I'm planning to go to The Netherlands on October. Is there any way to buy two tickets for the game against Northern Ireland? Can someone share some thoughts here? Thanks!
     
  11. We've got a special thread for ticket questions. Best to check/put in question there first.

    ^^Some of these experts have been drinking too much and doing too little thinking.

    I can see Stengs and Ihatarren would be part of Koeman's future set up. I'd predict Stengs, on his current trajectory, may challenge for a spot in the Dutch NT early/mid next season... not totally crazy to think that he may even get a call-up for the Euro Nations final this Summer if he gets a lucky break or two (injuries or loss forms of the other contenders). The winger position is a very crowded space... Promes, Bergwijn, Berghuis, Babel, Groeneveld, Dilrosun, Kluivert.

    Ihatarren is a long-term project, and at least 2 or 3 years away. Next season he should be part of the rotating line-up at PSV. Then, if he continues to progress well, the year after he could be a solid starter and building block at the club level. And who knows what will happen next...

    I actually like Karsdorp... though I haven't really followed him since his move to Italy. Explosive, fast and plenty of attacking drive. I have been very pleased with Dumfries (and I believe he will get a lot better in coming months), but I wouldn't mind seeing another competitor for RB.

    The rests listed in the picture... I am indifferent. Just please no Bruma :x3::laugh:

  16. Wonder when Asensio will regret to have chosen to play for Spain.
