Wainy316 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 He does start for Holland doesn't he usually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 He was on the bench for them most of the last world cup. Will be interesting to see how he does with better players around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 He does start for Holland doesn't he usually? He does under Van Gaal. Amongst our best defenders now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshvillan Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 He was on the bench for them most of the last world cup. Will be interesting to see how he does with better players around him. Read an article to say he wasn't in the squad last time due to injury ..... Think he is a starter. That holland squad looks average to me, if they have a good World Cup (semi finals) then id say it's largely down to united new manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Surely he won't go to United? Imagine if we get no new owner, Lambert stays, Vlaar and Delph go and we sign Holt. Please no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I was surprised when Vlaar was named in the 23 for Holland. He is a decent defender but they have really gone downhill if he is one of the top defenders they have available to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually one of their better ones as they have happened to have an entire crop of talented defenders come through at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yeah defence has always been the weak link for Holland. Wasnt that Blackburn defender Andre Ooijer first choice a few years back ? Thats how poor it was. My Nan was dutch so my mum and sister support them at the WC pffftttt. Very strange when my mum speaks fluent Dutch on the phone when she talks to family over there. It feels like I dont know who she is when she does :s. Vlaar is good enough anyway even if they had a top class backline he should always be in there imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Johnny Heitinga and Mathijsen have nearly 200 caps between them which tells you the quality of Dutch defenders in recent years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Jaap Stam the last world class defender they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 If you believe WIKI then defenders in the Holland squad for the WC have a combined numbert of 69 caps between them, probably the lowest of all teams in the tournament?. Sergio Ramos alone has 115 caps... They do have a crop of promising young defenders coming through thou, Willems and Van Der Wiel both out injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Use him to advertise the kit then don't give him a new contract? Edited June 2, 2014 by Wainy316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelboyVilla Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Use him to advertise the kit then don't give him a new contract? He's still got 12 months left though? We can sort a new one when the new owner and manager arrive? Plus we can get a quality kit manufacturer and sponsor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yea because Lerner will be sanctioning loads of new contracts right about now wont he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted June 2, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 2, 2014 Use him to advertise the kit then don't give him a new contract? Its normal for the club captain to be the one in the shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I can just see Lerner selling him if it doesn't look like we're get bought by the end of August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted June 2, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 2, 2014 I can just see Lerner selling him if it doesn't look like we're get bought by the end of August. I think he would have trouble, I doubt Vlaar would agree to go given he can go on a Bosman in 12 months time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay.P.A Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Vlaar is underrated on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
