SikhInTrinity Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Jaap Stam didn't have that issue! He seems like the no nonsense defender we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 15, 2012 Author Moderator Share Posted July 15, 2012 I have my doubts about a dutch CB. I remember Freddie Bouma who used to play CB in Holland - saying he wouldn't be able to play that position in England - because the threat in the air in the prem is significant - where as in the dutch leagues not so much. Vermaelen seems to cope well enough. He isn't Dutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffoman Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I think the style of forward lines in the prem have changed massively over the last couple of years. A lot less of the typical big English centre forward being used and a lot more speedy clever strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverPeacock Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Is this the same Vlaar who played at the back for Holland and had a complete shocker at the Euro's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SikhInTrinity Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 No the Vlaar who was part of the Holland team that were all shite! He played one game! Plus it was the defender who plays for Hamburg who had the proper mare with the LB beside him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withinpurple Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Vlaar played twice, he had one decent game and one absolute shocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same competition where Nicklas Bendtner actually played well? Point on tournament football noted. I would say that big strikers (Klose for example) tend to over-perform/do well in tournament football though I admit that may be subjective. I didn't rate him either time I saw him, even if its two games in tournament football I'd still be concerned. The dutch problem at the tournament (other than not capitalising on chances) was an incredibly shaky back line that look to concede on the few occasions their opposition came forward.

nzvilla Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 So the guy taking a pic is Ron Vlaar but what about the other picture with PL in the tunnel. Are any of those guys players or just agents? Guy in the blue shirt we expect is his agent, the other bald lad I assume is his father. Was just looking at Vlaars twitter pics, looks like it was defo his father. http://yfrog.com/nvslgnzsj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.I.C.O. Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 According to the fount of all knowledge that is Wikipedia, I see our very own Nathan Delfouneso has'nt even been given a squad number for this season. Has Paul Lambert finally done what none of the other 3 managers before have been able to do, and is facing up to the fact that the boy is not actually any good? What a waste of talent.
