He played left back for AJAX and Holland,a new manager came in and switched him to a defensive midfielder,Newcastle bought him and made him play right back.Think he's just as happy any of the 3 places.
I remember once we had a player who played in every position for a winning Leeds Utd team, he even went on to own half a DIY chain before anyone had ever heard of B&Q. Anita plays all over the park known as a utility player
when asked recently Anita said he could suffered himself a midfielder. Benitez praised him for playing right back. I.e. Considered out of position there. Basically a handy player to have due to his versatility, but he himself considers himself a midfielder.
Eh? He played 1 full game for Holland and that was as a DM https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/netherlands_finland/aufstellung/spielbericht/1052797 Not surprised you forgot - it was 7 years ago
He played 4 times for Holland,but don't believe every thing you read the first time to be right.Look again it says they played with no left back and 6 in midfield If you were a bit brighter you would have spotted the mistake.He never played his first game as a DM AT ANY LEVEL TILL DECEMBER 2010 AND YOU THOUGHT HE PLAYED HIS FIRST EVER GAME AS A DM IN AN INTERNATIONAL. NEVER MIND TRIGGER.
So we sign the guy juventus have replaced with del fabro, oh the irony. Going straight out on loan to our new 'sister club' in Spain according to phil hay. Personally if we're looking at players to cut the mustard in the uk I'd rather we loaned them to the lower leagues here than lower leagues in Spain.
Which 4 teams did he play against trigger? If you can prove he played more than the one 90 mins against Finland and 2 45 minute cameo's against Mexico and Ukraine then you will prove me wrong - If not I have done you like a kipper again Another kipper moment - match sheet Yes they did have 6 in midfield as they normally do https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/netherlands_finland/index/spielbericht/1052797 Line-Ups please log in to view this image Netherlands Goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg Defenders Johnny Heitinga, Joris Mathijsen, Gregory van der Wiel Midfielders Vurnon Anita, Ibrahim Afellay, Nigel de Jong, Wesley Sneijder, Mark van Bommel, Rafael van der Vaart Strikers Klaas-Jan Huntelaar Coaches Bert van Marwijk & Oh Look he played all of his U21 games for Holland as a DM in 2009 https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/vurnon-anita/nationalmannschaft/spieler/30670/verein_id/11944 Shall we go on or do you want to raise the white flag now?
Sorry for the bit of a damper Billy, but it seems Boro are now 4/1 on to sign Wood, saying it's the Monk link, and when you think about it, it' a good possibilty. If Monk is setting his team up the same as he did at Leeds then it makes sense he wants Wood, however, also means Boro will probably not make promotion either.....
I honestly cannot fathom why you are so biased against a player who just scored 30 goals for us last season. It doesn't make sense to me whatsoever. Any team chasing promotion would love to have a 30 goal a season striker, no questions. Regardless, Boro aint gonna be signing Wood. He'd cost too much for a team who have already spent big on Braithwaite and Assombalonga as well as having Bamford and Gestede in their squad.
Glad you posted that. If I had, he'd have taken it as a personal attack. Again. But you're right on the money. Why on earth would you have such a downer on your own star player who came through for you bigstyle? It defies logic, doesn't it?
you seem to have altered your post TC,let Me remind you what you said.If I can show he played more than 3 games I will have done you like a kipper. 2003–2004 Netherlands U15 4 (3) 2004–2006 Netherlands U17 28 (3) 2006–2008 Netherlands U19 13 (2) 2008–2009 Netherlands U20 2 (0) 2009–2010 Netherlands U21 6 (0) 2010— Netherlands 4 (0) there YOU GO THEN KIPPER please log in to view this image
Wtf are you doing? When you post here do it with 100% certainty. Even if you are 100% wrong never admit it. Take a leaf out of olof and chesh's manual.... Keep going with your head down and ignore evidence that suggest you are clueless.
I saw the photo but haven't a clue who they manage. It's all guesswork on WACCOE. Some poster reckons Red6 are linked to Bartleys agent but tbh I take it all with a pinch of salt. 99.9% of the rumours/links seem to be rubbish so I am more than happy to wait for official news from Hay,Popey or the club.
