Ronald Bergkamp playing for the youth NT? I'll become Dutch and replace him... God he's so bad. Doesnt remember in anything his uncle.

[Fides]

I still dont know why Pot is calling up van Haaren either. He only has a decent FK and a decent pass, but thats all.

[Fides]

Updated the squad. 3 matches 9 points up till now. I am not really convinced by this team, still really inconsistent and unreliable. The players who are already in the senior team are really needed to keep this team in balance.

[Fides]

Nick Marsman (FC Twente, Reserves), Virgil van Dijk (FC Groningen), Ben Rienstra (Heracles), Adam Maher (AZ) got their first call up in the provisional squad.

[Fides]

Yesterday Burnet, Maher and van Dijk made their debut. Will update the squad however it seems difficult to establish 1 clear 1st team.

[Fides]

Made some changes but I feel its difficult to make a clear squad now van Gaal is using a lot of youth players. Some other choices are just weird IMO. Pot calls up van Haaren en Lukoki but leaves out Castaignos, Duarte and Ola John and probably some more I forgot about.

[Fides]

Difficult to assess who are gonna be in the squad because of van Gaal selection policy which includes a lot of youngster in the national team. These seem to be the prime candidates for the U21 Champs this summer (between brackets the # of players needed on the different positions):

GK (3): Zoet, Bizot, Padt, Marsman,
RB (2): van Rhijn, Leerdam, te Wierik, Kappelhof
CB (4): de Vrij, Martins Indi, Nuytinck, vd Hoorn, Bruma, van Dijk, Gouweleeuw, Rekik, Denswil
LB (2): Blind, Willems, van Aanholt, Nelom, Burnet
MF (6): Strootman, Fer, Clasie, Maher, Vilhena, van Ginkel, Duarte, Kieftenbeld (also RB), Bacuna, Vejionovic, van Haaren
WF (4): Narsingh (heavy injury though), Ola John, Wijnaldum (also MF), Boetius, Wildschut, Cabral, Lukoki, van La Parra, Depay, Achahbar
ST (2): L. de Jong, Zeefuik, Castaignos, Locadia, ten Voorde
