Ruud van Nistelrooy
Oh my Ruud – a fantastic striker with an insane ability to score goals. Was a Manchester United legend in the making before a spat with Ronaldo and differences with SAF led him to Real Madrid, where he proceeded to score 20+ goals, again, showing that despite the title, Manchester United still missed a player of Ruud’s class.
Forget what they say about Holland and Manchester United playing better without Ruud or Ruud not fitting their style of play – that’s all bollocks from people who allow managers to form their opinions.
Ruud van Nistelrooy can fit into any attacking system and is an excellent striker.
10 of the best Dutch footballers in recent years
The Netherlands international team go into this summer’s Euro 2012 tournament as one of the favourites and frontrunners, with quality throughout Bert van Marwijk’s side. However, unfortunately the Eredivisie has lost its ability to keep the best homegrown players in the country and Ajax’s UEFA Champions League glory of 1995 seems like an eternity ago….
Soccerlens’ Top Five Strikers Of The Last 20 Years
As the footballing sphere bids farewell to one of it’s greatest ever patrons, legendary Brazilian forward Ronaldo, we at Soccerlens thought it high time to compile a concise list of our top five ‘strikers in world football’ – with the only stipulation being that any nominee must have played ‘up top’ and have had been in their prime at some point during the last two decades.
Werder Bremen Finally Up And Running
Werder Bremen looked set for a dismal season. Not only had their star of last season left for Real Madrid, but they had numerous injury problems and results weren’t going their way. With only one Bundesliga win to their name, Thomas Schaaf’s team must have been dreading the visit of Hamburg to the Weserstadion. However,…
Can Hamburg Win The Bundesliga?
Before the international break Kaiserslautern gave a massive boost to everyone hoping for a more competitive Bundesliga this season with their 2-0 win over Bayern Munich – two goals in two minutes sent most the near 50,000 crowd in the Fritz Walter Stadion and plenty of non-Bayern fans in Germany and around the world into raptures as the Red Devils…
Transfer Rumours: Real Madrid Enter The Race For Cesc Fabregas?
Monday Monday, can’t trust that day. The new week has brought with it a flurry of fresh transfer rumours, some perfectly feasible, some a little dubious and some completely and utterly nonsensical! Brilliant! It seems that the relentless speculation surrounding the future of Cesc Fabregas is showing no sign of dying down whilst the Spaniard…
Neville, Scholes and Giggs: Death By A Thousand Cuts
It is with some distain, if not total consternation, that I observe the clichéd comments of the media, rival fans, and (most of all) my fellow Manchester United fans in relation to the ‘old guard’ at Old Trafford! I could paraphrase an endless list of comments across an endless list of articles and blog contributions…
Real Madrid Rejects poised for Champions League Glory
Like so many of you out there I’ve long since lost all respect for Real Madrid and how they conduct their affairs. The malaise born out of the ‘presidential’ system seems to me to tarnish the clubs image rather than enhance it and the side effect that it channels through the media is, frankly, an…
Nistelrooy? Spurs? Arsenal? Why not?
If you believe all the rumors out there, Ruud van Nistelrooy alone is the target of every other Premier League club. Wages are pretty big and Real Madrid have so many other options like Raul, Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain. But the question is, is he going to come back to Premier League and is…
Why United fans should keep the faith
Talk of a looming crisis at Old Trafford is rife across the media today, following yesterday’s 3-0 drubbing at the hands of Fulham. It’s not often Manchester United concede three goals in a game and it’s even less often that they concede three goals without reply. So should we go along with the media’s perception…
Tuesdays have never been so exciting in football
Tuesdays have never been so exciting. Even the institution that is the UEFA Champions League and the subsequent “Champions Tuesdays” fanfare it precipitated hasn’t managed to turn a day of boredom and wistful gazing towards weekends past and future into anything more than a filler day. Seasoned office conversationalists agree on very little- the Euro,…
