His manners on the pitch were the same for PSV, he rarely had to track back after losing the ball and he didn't smile alot. He did defensive duties in the big games but he was the main man offensively so he was relieved of tracking back usually as he'd offer more going forward on the break. He...

Walking besides your boots (naast je schoenen gaan lopen) = thinking/acting like you've made it already, being too full of yourself (rating yourself too high?). Memphis got alot of criticism for his fashion and clothes he wore, even in Holland and I like it that he finally responds to it. Such...

He's in the NT squad because of injury to Anwar el Ghazi, who is out for a few weeks after yesterday's match against Fehnerbahce. Memphis is still up against Elia, Promes, Robben and maybe even Sneijder/Wijnaldum for his position so I'm not sure if he will play.

PSG had won him over as he was about to sign for them but Memphis also confirmed interest from Bayern Munchen and PSV did about Liverpool (although they gave up the chase at one point). There were more clubs interested (reported by Thijs Slegers) but it hasn't been made public which ones that were.

Very true, he'd be playing for the tiny club PSG.

I don't have alot of options, Blind said. Alot of our players aren't playing every week (naming de Jong, Memphis, Afellay, Clasie, Strootman, van Ginkel) and sit on the bench at their clubs or have injuries. With our new start we're aiming to pick players who play regularly and therefore are...

Injured.

Amusing to see there are still people who think van Gaal coaches dribbling, flair or anything that isn't sideways passing out of his creative players because they think that's his philosophy. The front 4 in his system have alot of freedom offensively, but this doesn't mean they should start...

This is it, most definately :lol:. But to answer your question a bit more: Last year Herrera didn't have as much competition for his place and he still had a difficult time to get in the XI, it wasn't untill he understood van Gaal better that he became a regular. He was the first choice 8(we...

He already matured enough at PSV to cut connections with people who were a bad influence on him, I don't think he'll make the same mistake in England. Van Gaal is a coach who can really motivate a player like Memphis and they get along well, I'm sure that if Memphis needs extra guidance that he...

Luckily it's only his liver (one of the few organs that can heal well), but that's horrible for him. If it's fully ruptured it needs surgery and I cannot see him returning within 7 weeks if that's the case. If the shell of the liver(?) is still intact (usually it isn't) surgery might not be...

People who expect him to be humble in his free time or a real gentleman on the pitch will be dissapointed, that's not in his personality. He grew up as a streetkid, surrounded by older and stronger kids. He's said that it made him stronger that he's had to 'fight to get noticed', be it at home...

Louis van Gaal himself, the 2 have a good relationship. Memphis had some personal issues in his early years at PSV, but really started to make big steps on the pitch and off it once he got a call for the NT. After that he cut all connections with people who could be a bad influence on him (he...

Didn't know Rojo was written off by so many already and what a terrible piece of journalism. So van Gaal decided to not sign Martins Indi and go for Rojo, but after seeing Indi's performances on Porto's bench he was convinced and now wants to sign him for way more than he could've gotten him...

This would've been a good post.. if any of it were actually true. LVG doesn't tell Mata, Memphis, Martial or Rooney to play it safe all the time. That is complete bollocks, he only tells them to keep it simple if they're not in position (centrally too close to de Gea where losing the ball means...
