Havent Marca started their campaign with made up quotes and what not, for Van Persie ?

 

God knows why Madrid would want him though, it's not like they are struggling for options up front. Ronaldo, Benzema, Higuain and Callejon. Ridiculous.

 

 

Much more likely to go to Barca, big Dutch encampment. Plus Arsenal are addicted to selling to Barca.

In fact, they could sell Villa to City or Chelsea for £50m, and then buy Van Persie AND Sneijder with that.

 

I'm not that arsed about Van Persie myself, I think he's just had a proper purple patch of a year and you'd be a loon to think you'd buy a year like that out of him again. Reminds me of Diego Milito, massive today, mediocre again next year. Good player Van Persie, lovely player, but he's an injury waiting to happen, he hasn't got the tricks and pace to destroy a team on his own like a Ronaldo, or Tevez, or Rooney (et al). Reminds me of Dzeko, a 15 goal a season man.

Barca have moved away quite abit from their Dutch ties over the last few years though.

Dont think Chelsea or City would be crazy enough to pay 50 million for Villa. Just broken his leg and is turning 31 this year, reckon he'll go for 15-20 million tops, if he leaves...

 

As for Van Persie, i kind of agree. He's scored shitloads this season, but dont see him as a player to have the same impact on games like the ones you mentioned.

Number of Dutch players in current Barcelona squad: zero.

 

But look at the marquee Dutch signings through recent time, Kluivert, Overmars, Koeman, Davids, Van Bommel, De Boer, Cocu, Van Bronkhorst, I think thats it? No, Reiziger, he was shit.

 

They're only really missing Robben, Bergkamp, Sneijder, Rijkaard (later Barca manager) and Gullit, to have the full set.
