Jesus! Call up to Holland squad

wow!  how bad are Holland now ???

My guess is Van Gaal tipped off Dutch Coach, Danny Blind about Bacuna in the hope that Holland have a shit Euros and he gets the job.

Either that or Blind by nature, Blind by name.

I'll bet anything the Dutch don't do well at the Euros!

Just shows being half-arsed, jumping out of challenges, being positionally poor and just generally crap is no barrier to an International career!

Might make him easier to off load at the end of the season.

He isn't leaving and I bet he'll do fine in the Championship. When he was doing well at times he looked a really good signing. As the team struggled he has really fallen off the map in terms of form. But I think at a lower level and if the team starts to enjoy playing again, he'll look decent again.

Agree, TV.
I think he gets more than a fair share of stick considering the whole team are playing poorly.

Jesus! Call up to Holland squad

wow!  how bad are Holland now ???

I thought it was a call-up with Curaçao?

It is. They're managed by Patrick Kluivert. Which is probably a fairly nice managerial gig.

Ha ha, so not the Netherlands at all.  Bit like confusing a call up for England with Jamaica.

He'd personally be my first choice at right back ahead of Hutton and Richards.
