Sad for Petrov- best of luck.

Think he'll be a great player. I've warned you!

Tonny Trindade de Vilhena is a Dutch football player. He plays for Feyenoord in the Eredivisie. He made his debut for the Rotterdam-based club in January 2012 versus VVV Venlo.

He won the 2011 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship with the Netherlands U-17 team and was also the tournament's joint top scorer with 3 goals.

I watched that tournament and also the u-17 fifa world cup later that year but i was only really looking closely at our player at Arsenal, Kyle Ebecillio who by the way his brother Lorenzo plays at Ajax. We took him from Feyenoord and he played well in both tournaments and look out for him as well in the future.

Thanks for the heads up on this player. I watch an hour round-up of the highlights of the Dutch League most weeks so i will look out for his progress in the future. From what i see of Dutch football the best young Dutch player in the Eredevisie at the moment is Adam Maher who plays at Alkmaar who I think will be a top class player in the years to come. I think even one of the coaching staff at AZ has even compared him with Fabregas. Top prospect.

BTW well done tonight LS. Hope yee win it now. Like a lot of people i was wondering what Bielsa was doing when he took off Ander for Ibai Gomez but he came on and got a great goal. Maybe Bielsa wasnt happy with the way Ander lost the ball for Huntellaar`s goal.

Raul over the 2 games showed us still what a great player he is. I am sure he is out of contract in the summer and i think he would be a great signing for someone like Liverpool on a 2 year deal. Liverpool i dont think will have a lot of money in the summer as they have already spent a lot in the last 18 months and they wont have the financial rewards of the Champions League so Raul on a free would be a great bit of business. He would finish off a lot of the chances that the have missed this season.

Yeah Maher is great. The player I mentioned played 90 minutes against Twente away (0-2 win) and was playing like he already played 200 matches. But he isn't like Maher playing the whole season.

Feyenoord had more good players from the U17 squad, like Ebicilio (Arsenal) and Rekik (Man City). Sad this players left Feyenoord before they made their debut.

Ander also hurt himself a bit in the challenge when he gave the ball away (in absolutely ridiculous circumstances, don't know what he was thinking, haven't seen a more suicidal backpass from the halfway since Steven Gerrard in the last minute of England-France in 2004). Bielsa is definitely not afraid of making early substitutions and acting straight away, plus any time there's injury he tends to react straight away, perhaps due to a combination of Athletic's relatively small pool of players and the reliance of the team on a high-speed, high-octane style of play. Ibai is one of very few forwards available to Athletic, and it's good to see him coming into his own in the last few games, and it was a great golazo. Similarly I was concerned for how Ekiza would fit in with Aurtenetxe out but he seemed comfortable despite a few ragged moments at the back; helped by the likes of Farfán having a very quiet game I thought.

Raúl is available on a free in the summer. I think Schalke want to keep him, but the cost of keeping Huntelaar on will probably hurt their chances of being able to give him the contract he would want.

Milan-Fiorentina 1-2. Ex-Juve Amauri scored his first goal for Fiorentina at the end. Fiorentina really needed the points in their fight agains relegation.

Tonight Palermo-Juventus. It's always difficult there. Juve is my second favourite club and I hope Juve will take the lead in the Serie A tonight

Not watching the Palermo-Juventus match tonight, watching liverpool was enough for one night. That was a torture and if Palermo lose tonight it would be very bad lol

0-2 now Bonucci and Quagliarella.

Anyone watching?

Obviously. But what a disappointing match.

Obviously. But what a disappointing match.

Lewandowski was super. Showed who's the boos Vs Gomez

 

[greenedge]

Man U should just let City win against them for sympathy.

Man U lost to Wigan 1:0, whilst City thrashed West Brom 4:0. Race back on.

 

[airstream]

it's necessary to crush Wigan and 3rd place is in the bag. then i'll be focus on rooting for 5th place for Redknapp.

 

[Amsterhammer]

Anyway I recorded the Ajax match and they won 5-0 with a hat-trick from Siem de Jong. I specifically watched the game to see Jan Vertonghen, a player who I know well. Its been well reported in the British media that he will more then likely sign for Arsenal. There is a lot of posters from Holland on the forum and I would just like to know is it been reported in Holland as well that he will end up at Arsenal.

I hope its true as I think he is an excellent ball playing defender with a good left foot.

Ajax put one hand on the trophy last night, so to speak.

All recent speculation about Jan's future that I can recall was about Spurs. That may be true, or a smokescreen, or just a manoevre by his agent, I don't know. I do know that he's dying to go and play in the Prem, that he would most likely prefer to be re-united with Vermaelen, with whom he had a good partnership, and that Ajax will sell this summer.

We'll be sorry to see him go, but that's what you get used to when you've become a selling club. Van der Wiel will also leave this summer, presumably to Valencia.

 

[airstream]

Well, there was a law-governed outcome for Tottenham. In December Harry dared to say they are better than Arsenal! Fate played a cruel joke with him.

 

[Parrulo]

Parrulo, in the The Telegraph newspaper in England this morning it says the Gaitan deal to United is done and that yee get Fabio and Federico Macheda going the other way.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...-for-20m-plus-Fabio-and-Federico-Macheda.html

ya the portuguese papers also report that. It honestly doesn't look like a bad deal. Benfica needs a left defender, is fabio any good?

 

[l.Harm]

No, Rafael is the better one. I don't think Fabio is good enough for Benfica.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Both of the brothers are garbage. When Rafael went down with nobody near him in the Athletic-Manchester Utd game, I was really thankful that he was able to continue. If he'd been seriously hurt, then Manchester United might have put somebody who could defend on.

Pretty much every time I see him he's getting himself sent off, trying to get himself sent off by making some horrifically timed challenges, or standing there like a lemon while the attackers dance circles round him (seriously, watch him on Muniain's goal at Old Trafford, I think he thinks he's playing statues). So if Fabio is the less talented of the two?

Fair play to Udinese and Di Natale coming out and saying they will take care of Morosini`s disabled sister.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17727031

Also Di Natale has said he is thinking of retiring at the end of the season.

http://espn.go.com/sports/soccer/se...ulls-retirement-wake-piermario-morosini-death

Nooo..he shouldn't. I hope he continues, i like seeing him pull wide and make space.

 

[simo1733]

Barcelona looked so much fitter than Chelsea.They can manage to press the ball over the whole pitch for the whole 90 minutes.

My favourite team Borussia Dortmund just won the German championship for the second time in a row. Amazing season once again. Next goals are the record for most points scored in one season and the DFB Pokal!!!
