AntrimBlack Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Should stay at rb til end of season then move to midfield in pre season Though he is good at RB and it does not seem to stop him getting forward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Don't mess with it. Edited March 5, 2014 by AVTuco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Strootman out of the WC now because of injury. Hope Leo steps it up even more going into these last 10 games, genuinely think he can get himself a call up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 If he got called up to the NT as well as Vlaar I'd probably support the Netherlands almost as much as England. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 The way Lambert plays the fullbacks are more or less midfielders so I think Bacuna is perfect for this role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 This time was season we were talking about lowton being called up for England. Now he's been replaced by bacuna being called up for Netherlands. Let's just wait and see what happens next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time though Lowton really did look like a decent shout for England, it's just that things have gone wrong for him since then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) He has played for the Dutch youth teams already let us not forget. So far this season he is performing better than many of the highly rated talents from Holland. It is possible. Btw, as I've said before, I don't think he will become some superstar in the WC or anything just that with the looks of Holland's squad they could do a lot worse than have him in it.

Rovers13 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 It's not that he's perfect but he's versatile and the Dutch aren't that deep of a squad, particularly in defense. Bacuna getting a call up isn't that far fetched. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 His versatility could well get him the nod as their second right-back. He has an outside chance for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm not sure, obviously he played well in his last game and thats fresh in peoples minds right now but hes been poor at least as much as hes been good. I'm not sure what Hollands squad or depth is like atm but i dont see him going tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I personally think other than a couple of games, he has been very solid and I have said so throughout the season. The current second right-back in the Dutch squad is probably Janmaat so like I say, I think Bacuna has an outside chance of making the squad if he continues to play well until the end of the season. The fact he is doing it in the Premier League will put him on Van Gaal's radar you'd think and also he is at the same club as Vlaar which helps.

Rovers13 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I agree Isa, he's actually made very few defensive errors, even very rarely been beaten by wingers to get crosses in. People look overblow the Fulham and west brom games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 No not everyone who thinks he probably won't make a world cup spot thinks it because of two games you've picked out. I think he's done ok this season overall, im not judging him on one or two games and i hope he does go but i certainly dont expect him to be in the squad and for pretty selfish reasons maybe its better he isnt anyway.

I understand it's not why about the World Cup spot, but I can't understand why people say he's been poor overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 By the way, we will owe Groningen €100k if we don't get relegated. That's right folks, he will finally amount to 3 weeks of Wayne Rooney's wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
