    PVA got his 6th cap for Holland last night as they beat Austria.

    Seems a lot think he's pretty good or improving. With the odd spluttering of 'he should be moved forward, and get a proper lb in'. Maybe.

    Random fact. Bought from Chelsea. Where he only played 8 times before being shipped all over on loan. To Coventry. Mags. Leicester. Wigan. Arnhem. Before being bought by SAFC.

    So thoughts on PVA and his progress?

    .........................

    Part 2.

    Holland. The creators of total football. No Euros for them. Wtf has happened to them?

    Their last 4 friendlies they have won 3 drawn 1. All against teams that have qualified.

    Seems strange no Holland at a major comp.

    they've been a bit rudderless for a while, but they'll be back.

    just as well as the dutch birds love their footie, and they'll be sorrly missed at the Euros!

    Having spent 4 days there last week ( Adam and Rotterdam) , you get to see loads of stunners just ambling round on a bike, drinking beers at the occasional watering hole. Yum, yum.

    I would keep him. He's young, pacy and getting better at his defensive duties.

    With a change of tactics in certain games where we could play a 3-5-2 him in Yeds as wide midfielders could bomb forward and get crosses in.

    At the beginning of the season, I would have packed his bags and drove him back to Chelsea, however, since the arrival of BSA he seems to have come on leaps and bounds. I don't think we have seen the best of him yet but believe he will be one of our major assets next season as long as we sign someone who can play left side up front or midfield, which will allow him the opportunity to create a good link up partnership.

    I mentioned it on the Transfer thread. Arsenal are rumoured to be interested in him.

    Daughter's boyfriend is gooner-mad. He told me.

    I wouldn't be taking it too seriously just yet. How many players do we get linked with during the summer? It'll be same for every other club.

    I'd be astounded if this were true...

    He's good, but he's not top 4 quality. Not even close, yet.

    Agreed. I'd like to keep him another couple of seasons.

    Probably just his agent putting feelers out. As they all will be about now.

    If we're going to continue playing Kirchhoff sitting in front of the centre backs (and why wouldn't we? He's exceptional there) we need full backs who are going to get forward. Van Aanholt is good at what he does and is getting better. He's one of the players we need to be keeping hold of.

    I spent quite a bit of time in Holland as a kid and the Dutch are always my second team at international tournaments so I'm gutted that they won't be there this summer

    I hope not. I thought he seems happy and settled here.

    It's took us about 10 years to find a left back, cherish him <cheers>

    Constantly improving, battler, pacey and loves the club.

    Yeah he needs to improve more defensively but he's markedly doing so, no part of me says we should let him go.

    Wtf is imooc? Is it a cheap version of immac that you can use to remove anal hair?

    Perhaps you can rub some around SA chocolate starfish and scteam Yedlin as you refuse to pull out.
