Feyenoord 2007/2008

Just seen that in another thread, but thanks. Personally would have gone for Krol as part of great team and knows African football which will be useful for next World Cup, unless part of devious plan to qualify through European methods of van Marwijk and then replace him with African based Krol. Are you that sneaky!

Guzzie should be sold next year, lets hope gay Chelsea pays a ridiculous amount again!

Another thing is Metgod should be kicked out...he is to long assistant there now..while I always have a feeling he has done f@ck all.

Greene and Bahia only do OK if everbody around them is playing OK. Yesterday both made plenty mistakes.

Yep best scenario would be Guz winning us the playoffs, leaving for a fortune & build a team around Bruins.

Don't care that much about Metgod. Would rather have an assistant with cojones, say Fraser (will never happen though)

Yeah, I was surprised how well Bahia played in the beginning of this season, but already though he was a "nice weather player" And Greene and Hofland are that as wel actually.

Now we dont want those, we need more De Clers!! For me the best Feyenoord player of the year, always gets his level even if the team plays well or not.

We wont see Fraser back in a while though, but his replacement, and my favourite feyenoord player of all time Jp van Gastel is doing really well with the kids.

So I wouldnt mind it at all if he would get a promotion.



@EMP Krol is a ajax mate, you wont see him here. .

@ Fey. Didn't mean at Feyenoord. Meant at Oranje. Probably should have left it in Oranje thread.

Glad JP is doing so well. Sure he can teach the youngsters a lot. Was a very smart (& good) player. Could well be a very good assistant.

De Cler, Gio & Timmer are the only ones that get a 7+ for this season.

Depsite us not conceding that many goals I still think our defence sucks, defensively and when it comes to build up.

Don't know hwat happened to Sahin, but he's no way near the player he was early on this season. Landzaat, hasn't played the tiles of the roof yet, but is good enough to be part of a future league winning team.

We just need 2 strikers and a defence bar left fullback.

Well we need a killer defender as well. Some tough African, or a Gattuso like of player. We really need a body on the midfield between all those lightweights!

Yep. Think all our potential new managers will have made that observation too. All 3 are known for fit & physically strong teams. Hope they have some affordable ideas. Selling De Guzman makes sense because we've cover in that area & can use the cash to strengthen other areas.

Anyway think we will play more attacking next season.

Van Marwijk will be on Holland Sport on 3 in 15 minutes...

Cheers gonna watch that one

Among the 3 candidates, who is Jans?

He's the FC Groningen manager. Think he's the longest in charge of the current managers in the Dutch league.

Krol as a manager is a complete nobody in Holland.

If he makes the staff of Oranje it'll be as an assistant (and that doesn't sound like a bad idea now that you mention it).

Kuip groter, meer geld voor Feyenoord
4 maart 2008

De Kuip wordt komende zomer verbouwd en krijgt daardoor een iets grotere capaciteit, maar bovenal meer businessstoelen wat meer inkomsten betekent.

De kosten van de verbouwing komen voor rekening van het stadion. Feyenoord gaat meer huur betalen, maar rekent er op dat het door de verbouwing zo'n 3 tot 5 miljoen euro aan extra inkomsten binnen krijgt. Feyenoord zal de extra inkomsten aangrijpen om het elftal verder te versterken.

Hope they sort out the awayend, pity we always have to leave some seats empty for 'risk-matches'.

Rutte is added to the shortlist as well!!

So now we have:
-Rutte
-Jans
-Jol
-Verbeek
-Been

You have, you have ?!

You've got nothing : prepare for Brandts

Brandts to Groningen!! You heard it here first

Hehe : we never employ foreigners, you should know that

If we were to lose Jans (loss for all parties involved) I'm sure we'd get Verbeek as replacement

Kermit Erasmus at it again. He isn't even in Holland yet & already scoring v Ajax



Debut goal sets Erasmus flying
Posted: 2008-03-05 13:22

Supersport United striker Kermit Erasmus has thanked coach Gavin Hunt for showing confidence in his ability and says his Man of the Match award he received after the Absa Premiership match against Ajax Cape Town at Super Stadium yesterday will continue to motivate him to work harder.

Erasmus sparkled as Matsatsantsa beat the Urban Warriors 3-2 and crowned his superb performance with splendid goal in the first half that gave former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Hans Vonk no chance.

Speaking to KickOff.com after the game, Erasmus said the Man of the Match award was the cherry on top of the cake as his goal was his first since he started playing in the Premiership.

“I had played three games previously and was dying to score against Ajax. Before the game Gavin Hunt told me not to worry about scoring as he was happy with the way I had been working during matches.

“This goal is something that I will cherish forever and I want to thank the coach and my teammates for their support and encouragement both during training and games.

“I used to feel bad about missing chances, but they always backed me, saying that I should not will drop my head,” says the Port Elizabeth born star, who was loaned to Supersport this season from Dutch team, Feyenoord, stating that he is now confident of making it in Holland next season.

“Now that we have beaten Ajax, we have increased our chances of winning the league title and all the guys are highly motivated. I, too, will be happy to be part of the team’s success this season before returning to Holland next season.”

“With my game improving and with me getting more chances of playing at Supersport United, I am sure Feyenoord are following my progress and will be able to give me a chance to break into the first team next season. I am already looking forward to playing in Holland next season,” Erasmus added


ERASMUS WHO-OOOOOh!

LEGEND!!! Already!!

Sounds like a promising player....and with such an awesome name he should make it.

Isn't Erasmus the name of the reputed MBA school in Rotterdam?

Rotterdams greatest son Erasmus hence schools and a bridges are named after him!!

And now he returns!!

This cant be a coincidence!

Thought so..it's on my list (among other choices) for an MBA in 2-3 years time

Feyenoord akkoord met El Ahmadi

De Telegraaf meldt dat Feyenoord tot een akkoord is gekomen met de 23-jarige Karim El Ahmadi over een contract voor vijf seizoenen. Het eerste bod op de middenvelder zou door FC Twente zijn afgewezen, maar was wel dusdanig dat het Feyenoord toestemming gaf met de middenvelder te praten. Vorig jaar vroeg FC Twente nog twaalf miljoen voor El Ahmadi. Feyenoord hoopt deze week met de club tot een akkoord te komen

The Telejew is usually right when it comes to us, fucking ace another midfielder

I do rate him, but think -like you say- we need strengthening in other positions more.

Maybe/hopefully there's more to come. Would like to know who becomes our next manager & how we're doing with the new stadium plans (been quiet a few weeks now).

'Contact gelegd met topkandidaten, Verbeek houdt zich op de vlakte'

Volgens De Telegraaf heeft Feyenoord afgelopen week na het rondkomen van Bert van Marwijk met de KNVB topoverleg gevoerd over het traject van de opvolging en inmiddels contact opgenomen met de belangrijkste kandidaten op het lijstje van Feyenoord.

Tegenover De Telegraaf wilde Gertjan Verbeek, favoriet bij de fans contact bevestigen noch ontkennen. "Ik heb een aantal contacten, maar daar zeg ik in deze fase niks over. Binnen drie à vier weken zal duidelijk worden waar ik volgend seizoen werk

Then again according to Rijnmond we have a deal with Jol! But then again they are always wrong somehow.

El Ahmadi is good BUT, I preffered Pranjic. And now with Engelaar gone Twente is utter shite. So it was mainly Engelaar who made the impact when they did so well.

So would I -prefer Pranjic, though I prefer him above nearly everybody. Great player. Engelaar would have been a good signing too, especially because he offers a lot physically & we really need a stronger squad. Think El Ahmadi & Engelaar are the 2 most influential players in the Twente squad, they need them both. Rate El Ahmadi higher than Sahin.

Anyway seems we have money...

About Jol or Verbeek I think about the same. Could work, at least they both play more attacking than Bertje made us play recently. Verbeek could take Pranjic, Zuiverloon & Sulejmani with him...

Sulejmani should come as well! I reckon he is cheaper then Pranjic.

-------------------------Timmer---------------------------

Fer--------------Vlaar-----------Hofland-----------De Cler
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------El Ahmadi-------Van Bronckhorst---------
Signing/Elahmadi --------Bruins-----------------Sulejmani
----------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------Makaay-------------------------

Why did we bought Landzaat??

versatile, experienced? Not a player I get excited about so far (never beforehand too), but at least he knows what he doing.

Really liked that Jermain Lens v us (if Mario says he's talented enough). He & Sulejmani are both left footed.

Still, that defence looks a bit weak.

They don't need defenders : they're gonna play Timmer, Makaay & 9 midfielders

2-7-1

That will be our key to succes
