My final point on VdV is that he's worked with some top managers that left the media with a 'whats his best position' tag. He arrived here with 'if Mourinho can't get the best out of him he must be a problem'. Well Harry has found it, and his fitness is better so far, he also did 90 for Holland recently.
100% agree. He hasn't looked like he's done the marathon when the 70 minutes mark approaches now. Harry was clearly right, the fact he didn't have a proper pre-season before joining us affected him a lot last season. Looks much sharper now, still not as fit as I think we'd like, but a huge improvement from last term.
