L 'pool wants to get rid of him this winter i just read. He could have been a better player when he would have went to Germany first. But he loved the money (who can blame him actually) in England more. There are just a few young Dutch players who will make it to the top when they leave on a young age. Exceptional players like Van Persie (people also thought he went to a top club too soon) and in less extend Dirk Kuyt, moderate player. Both of these came from Feyenoord, another one from Feyenoord is Royston Drenthe who went to Real Madrid and is now on loan to Hercules. Funny thing...he's the only one from that era still officially in service for Real. Unlike Robben, Sneijderm, Van Nistelrooy and Van der Vaart. They kept the least promising player oO) Now i'm just hoping Afellay will make it in Barca squad this winter otherwise we lose a great player for the Dutch squad when he doesn't play for his club.
Edit: Oh yeah, Huntelaar went to soon to Real, he now is the main man @ Schalke '04 as is Van der Vaart @ Spurs. In the end they end up well but really lost 1 or 2 years of active playing due to the money
