In his best season for PSV 99/00 (statistically better per minute contributions)What was RVN’s numbers?
G/A every 69.87 minutes
Even then not performing at Gakpo’s current level.

Many fans on this forum are tiresome. Week in week out the narrative changes.Odd. Literally a week ago everyone was saying sancho was improving, it was a disgrace he wasn’t called up to England and he was looking like the player we knew he would be.
Agreed very fickle. Some only come out of the woodwork when something bad happens. So called “fans”.Many fans on this forum are tiresome. Week in week out the narrative changes.

Henry-eque 9 perhaps. I personally would prefer Sesko to him but seems he has the physique to be an ETH 9 like Haller at Ajax. We have seen ETH use Rashford as a number 9 to some effect and I'd say the biggest issue with Rashford in the position is ball control in limited space. If Gakpo is better at holding the ball up in the middle of the park then maybe.I don't think it makes sense if I'm honest. Unless the idea is for him to play as a #9 which he hasn't been doing primarily.
The decline of the Dutch league obviously started with the fallout from the Bosman ruling, but Kezman is typically considered the turning point of when the Eredivisie became a farmers league. Ruud was playing in the Eredivisie just 2 years after Ajax won the champions league. Stats comparisons across these eras are worthless.In his best season for PSV 99/00 (statistically better per minute contributions)

I wasn’t the one trying to make the point about Kezman or RVN but when asked I only responded with the comparison others wanted.The decline of the Dutch league obviously started with the fallout from the Bosman ruling, but Kezman is typically considered the turning point of when the Eredivisie became a farmers league.

I know, as I would only chipping into the discussion, not directly responding to you (maybe I shouldn't have quoted you)I wasn’t the one trying to make the point about Kezman or RVN but when asked I only responded with the comparison others wanted.
I am more making a point that the next best striker in the more modern version of the Eredivisie was Suarez who is being outperformed by Gakpo who is in a far inferior side.
The standard Gakpo is setting is record breaking so while as an avid watcher of Eredivise for AZ I accept it’s not the most competitive league in world football I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that someone can be so consistent over nearly 3 years now and clearly developing into an all round attacking threat is being talked down by many whose only experience of him may well have been highlights of a couple of European qualifiers.
No worries. My hope is he helps knock Ajax off the perch if AZ cant this season. Maybe then people will wake up.I know, as I would only chipping into the discussion, not directly responding to you (maybe I shouldn't have quoted you)
Mirror, not exactly shockingMirror are running the story that Leeds have agreed personal terms
That after spending 220m in the summer we don’t have money this January? Why can’t it be true?Surely this can't be true? Surely?
Nah, I don't believe that.That after spending 220m in the summer we don’t have money this January? Why can’t it be true?
More like his levelMirror are running the story that Leeds have agreed personal terms
No its not.More like his level
Yes it isNo its not.
Also they can agree personal terms all they want, its up to the player where he wants to go.
You can agree personal terms with ten clubs lad, doesnt mean you are going to Leeds.Yes it is
That’s also exactly what personal terms are?
Tbh If I was him i'd probably join a mid table club like that with a realistic release clause.You can agree personal terms with ten clubs lad, doesnt mean you are going to Leeds.
Also he is clearly too good for Leeds especially on this seasons form alone
I remember when Afonso Alves was too good for anyone on form. Or Memphis Depay. Or Klaasen Jan Huntelaar. Or Ricky van Wolsfswinkel.You can agree personal terms with ten clubs lad, doesnt mean you are going to Leeds.
Also he is clearly too good for Leeds especially on this seasons form alone
Absolutely lethal at the moment. Great goal once again…..One man team at the moment
Martial is a bit of a crock. We absolutely need a CF.He's a good player but we can't buy everyone. Only makes sense if we selling Martial or Rashford
Yeah Darke was bang on when he said not staying fit has been the story of his Utd careerMartial is a bit of a crock. We absolutely need a CF.

Actually would make a lot of sense for them. Benzema/Vinicius coverSays in the article Madrid are interested.
The guy is not good enough for Madrid. Big nothingburger.Says in the article Madrid are interested.
Thoms, again bashing Gakpo. In out latest discussion you admitted you liked Gakpo playing for the Dutch national squad (in my expectation he might be better when playing in a stronger team) When i stated it’s quit different playing besides Vertesen and Saibari over Haller and Tadic, you actually agreed.The guy is not good enough for Madrid. Big nothingburger.
'Nothingburger' doesn't refer to people but to information. He's saying the story about the links to Real Madrid is a nothingburger.Thoms, again bashing Gakpo.

We’re back to square one again? Nothingburger? You don’t agree he’s a one man attack at PSV and delivers great stats?
i agree with you he didn’t play well against rangers, but his games against Ajax and Feyenoord show some promiss?
Mate, I do like Gakpo in our NT. Do you seriously think he’s Real Madrid material? If so you are in the minority judging by all the opinions on Dutch football forums. I know you like him a lot but cmon mate..Some of our best players ever (Sneijder and Robben) didn’t succeed at RM and you think bloody Gakpo will?Thoms, again bashing Gakpo.
