Reports have surfaced suggesting that Valdano has intructed the Dutch players to move on if they get offers from other clubs. This includes Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Royston Drenthe, Wesley Sneijder, Rafael Van Der Vaart, Arjen Robben and Ruud Van Nistelrooy! No one is being spared not even those who have showed their loyalty such as Ruud or players of great potential and skills such as Robben & Huntelaar!
In all fairness, they all had their chance to shine last season and with the exception of Robben and Huntelaar, the rest failed. Some failed due to injury, such as Ruud, and some failed without any kind of explanation, such as Van Der Vart and Sneider!!
In my opinion, i believe that it is not smart to get rid of them all. For instance, i would definitely get rid of Drenthe, van Der Vaart and give the choice to stay benched to the rest. We can not ignore what robben is capable of or what Ruud has done for us in the past! To me Ruud has the same value as Raul!!
So here is the solution! Let Robben, Ruud, Sneider and Huntelaar stay as replacements and lets see how things develop from now to he winter transfer market.
In any circumstance, i think that it will be difficult for us to offload all these player prior to the end of the summer transfer season primarily due to the fact that the economic situation is forcing teams to be more careful about signings and limit their spending!! Of course that isn’t the case with Real Madrid!!
