jjd06e 37 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I mean Ronaldo could have easily had 4 goals tonight...its not all VDW fault, the midfield didnt help out either, and Ronaldo had tons of room....but still a rather poor display from VDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Oh my, this lad was atrocious against Portugal. The Netherlands have a really, really, really amazingly poor defence. Young Jetro Willems looks very promising, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Oh my, this lad was atrocious against Portugal. The Netherlands have a really, really, really amazingly poor defence. Young Jetro Willems looks very promising.They've had an awful defence for about 15 years now. Willems is interesting, but from what I saw he appears to be a pace merchant.No wonder Frank Arnesen got the boot!He was the one chasing him. I remember when he mentioned it.Arnesen was an absolute disgrace of a Technical Director/Director of Football. Emenalo has no experience in such a position and yet he's already miles better.

Spike 12,049 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Jetro is only 18 so you can expect some rawness from him. He is one month younger then myself. He made some brilliant runs forward and didn't always neglect his defensive duties. His tackling is rash but that can only improve with experience.

Fulham Broadway 17,350 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Van der Wiel has had a poor tournament. I hope we don't go for him now.The French right back Debuchy looks a much better bet and will be much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me look at my life and go "These guys are at the top at the same age as me, what have I done?" .God forbid when I'm 28 and there are kids 10, 15 years younger than me that will achieve far more in a few years than I will all life.

bushman 2,043 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Chelsea would be much better off to stay away from Wiel.He is not much to write home about.Waste of money, I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goke 26 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 If we only consider this tournament, then Van Persie, Robben, Van der Vaart, Sneijder, etc. are all poor players.co-signs....your comment needs to be bolded/written in red/font size 72 for people to get this through their thick heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulvhedin 526 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Did anyone actually watch him playing in Ajax? Was he really so awful there? I wouldn't rate him basing on Euro cause as many wrote whole Holland team was total catastrophy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't rate him basing on Euro cause as many wrote whole Holland team was total catastrophy...Yup. Average for Ajax, and he's been exposed at the Euros. Shouldn't be in the squad tbh but we haven't got many better there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCount 146 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I must say for a man who had, admitedly never seen VDW play prior to the euro's, i was looking forward to see how he shaped up and was he really the real deal everyone had been talking about, and fair enough there was divided opinion on was he a stalwart defender but at least a good attacker!, but fuck me he is useless?? he wasnt even attacking well nevermind defending! This is a great example of media over hyping and fans snowballing,Oh well Stand clear chelsea stand clear! we just got rid of boswinga no need for a worse/more unexperienced version of him, no wonder this lad wants to join up! be the luckiest man in the world :L :L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'm sorry for all the shit I spew, debates I start and 'controversial' thoughts I share, but it's things like these which make me so frustrated with many of our fans (yes, he's a Chelsea fan):- I just hate this thing that so many of you do which is jumping all over a player (not literally, of course) as soon as an unreliable source links us to them without a single quote etc. and hail him as the 'next best thing' for our team without doing any actual proper scouting or research about the player. (I'm not saying that we're not actually interested in Van Der Wiel, but I mean in general. Lucas Moura for instance.)Again, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Put it this way.If we sign him, we will be begging for Bosingwa's return by the end of October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Freak 456 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Put it this way.If we sign him, we will be begging for Bosingwa's return by the end of October.I doubt any top club is going to sign Van Der Wiel. His transfer to Valencia fell through and they managed to sign Joao Pereira for half of VDW's price.There were scout reports from the Netherlands that from a young age:Van Der Wiel was good going forward, decent crossing ability, good paceVdW seemed to lose concentration which affected his ability to track back.VdW's positioning is fairly poor, his marking is fairly poor.Conclusion: Sign either Azpi from Marseille OR Debuchy from Lille.
