Pav will definitely go. Also, I neglected to mention that Hunt and RVD is an eitheir/or deal and not going for both.

Huntelaar isn't as good as some people say. He had a superb scorign rate for Ajax and Herenveen, but he didn't do that well in Spain or in Italy..

Agreed. Also its difficult to think of a good striker that doesn't have a great scoring record in Holland.

Its just like if you play for one of the Glasgow teams, if your a striker and your not getting 15 goals in a season something is going wrong...

Did you see last year when Chelsea struggled to beat other teams including Hull at home without Drogba and Essien? As soon as those two came back to form Chelsea started playing better.

Formation when our African players are away:

midfield:

lampard, deco/cole, malouda/zhirkov, ballack/cole plus belleti.

attack:

anelka, sturridge/di santo

We can cover mikel, essien and kalou but drogba will be missed. Maybe we will buy Villa or Aguero...

why do they have an african nations cup on a world cup year,haven't they jsut qualifed for the world cup.....???

We also had Carvalho, Joe Cole and Deco out injured for a lot of last season. Plus we have strengthened our squad with Zhirkov.

Too be fair to the lad, he barely got any playing time.

Yeah it should be 10 or 12 points out of 12. Maybe Sunderland could cause us a problem.

I'm actually really worried about Arsenal winning the league... Fabregas is just unbelievably good.

be fair.....??.......sounds like crazytalk.........

anyone who plays upfront for holland is worth a try........IMO........you never know it might work
