Forum SupporterCassano has the spark we need. VDV with Cassano will be worth the 10mil, but VDV alone will not cut it. We need someone to take hold of the game, Cassano has that quality, I'm not sure about Sneijder or VDV.

His passing and vision is far superior to Stankovic.

10 years of FIFwas pretty poor, didn't anything worth noting, didn't have many touches on the ball either, at this point I would rather play Kuyt as trequartista, he was heavily involved in everything Holland did, even his passing was better :rollani: VDV's set piece delievery was very good, something we could use with our tall and powerful players.

- Walter Samuel,
So you're going to choose who we buy based on 45 mins of football?
Needless to say, he was not "poor". He was fairly average, made a couple of good passes to Robben and got in a good position to be through on goal, but VP overhit what was a simple pass. Of course he got the goal aswell, though it was an easy tap in.
Sneijder has not been any better.

10 years of FIFI've watched VDV a good long while. Hasn't progressed as he ought to have had. I can count the number of times touched the ball on one hand. England were in control of the match by the time Sneijder came on. His distribution was certainly better and he was more involved than VDV. VDV was too slow and weak in the challenge. Atleast he made the effort to track back. But his off the ball movement was poor. Nor did he intiate any attacking moves.

I think he's progressed fine. Just had a poor season at RM.
The fact that the attacking players didn't touch the ball much only shows the Netherlands were interested in playing counter attacking football, which was a good idea since England did nothing with the possesion.
Sneijder's passing was tidy, though he delayed his through balls too much which meant the attacking players were caught offside. Wasted a freekick in a good position too plus had a long shot well wide. Like i said, i think both were quite average tonight.

10 years of FIFSneijder has been (any) better.
Basing on todays performance, I would pay 3x more for Sneijder. I know somebody here only looks at "nice passes and stuff", but there are other things in football, besides goals and such
Sneijder is the better version of Stankovic(good at deffensive stage, and a lot better in offensive), Van Der Vaart is not.

I know some on here only look at "defence and stuff", something which we have plenty of in our current squad.
Needless to say, choosing who you would buy based on 45 mins of football in a friendly is rather stupid.
The way you talk, you'd think Sneijder won the game for Holland single handedly, while VDV scored an own goal.
I don't want another version of Stankovic. I want something different.

Van der Vaart: 7.5 - Hugely influential and found plenty of space and time. Grabbed the second goal after Green had saved from Robben and set up Kuyt twice before being subbed at the break.
Sneijder: 6.5 - Not afraid to shoot and had several opportunities but couldn’t beat Green.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFHopefully we sign VDV...Senijder just said that he has no intrest in leaving Real and joining Inter so that puts an end to him....VDV is the only real valid option...along with Cassano.

10 years of FIFsorry, but even from that game alone, i will not pay anywhere near 3x more for sneijder....
furthermore, i won't even pay more money for sneijder over vdv
though being a friendly and the players were certainly playing at a lower tempo, their qualities were right there to see....
were we watching the same game???
vdv showed why i like him better anyways
he plays between the lines....something none of our midfielders do...
offensively, his positioning on the field is far superior to that of sneijder....
he somehow always seems to find himself in little gaps in the field, causing the opponents defensive set to break down..
at lastly, HE CREATED CHANCES....
sneijder was deep, active, playing passes around and shooting from 35 yards out...
vdv played in the offensive third, played the ball quicker and was in more dangerous situations, not to mention, he scored..
regardless of what either of us think/say is better for the team, the real point is either vdv, sneijder, deco will be an asset to our team, period...
the probability of failure for all are about the same as well....

10 years of FIFinteresting assessment by this Fifpro lawyer...
http://www.tuttosport.com/calcio/ca...+der+Vaart+può+lasciare+gratis+il+Real+Madrid
http://www.corrieredellosport.it/Notizie/Calcio/77560/«Van+der+Vaart+via+dal+Real+a+parametro+zero»
since Real Madrid played Granero in a friendly with vdv's # and Granero's name on it, it is somehow a violation of the contract and thus vdv could go for free....
could be nonsense, but if this is true, Inter will be TRULY STUPID to not get this guy on free.....even if they still want sneijder, vdv on free is an absurd deal to not take..
let's see what happens for the rest of the week
