Catching up with the boys!

Aug 13, 2009 12:26

It's been more than a year since Euro 2008 and the birth of this comm, so I thought it might be a good idea to catch up on where our boys are after the 2008-2009 club season! Behind the cut are summaries of their recent careers and links to relevant articles.

A few observations:

1. WE'RE GOING TO SOUTH AFRICA! *PARTY*2. Hm. Lots of Doom and Gloom ( Read more... )

news: elftal

Thanks for the recap sweetpea, you're awesome! I hadn't realised Sylvie van der Vaart had cancer, I hope the treatment goes well and she makes a full recovery.

'Twill be interesting to see where all the RM players end up, I hope a few of them make their way back to the EPL.

:D Yay! And yes, I'm thinking of her too - it doesn't seem to have gotten her down, the brave thing, she still looks as gorgeous as ever.

And yeah, me too. *secretly still wants Ruud back at United* Apparently Arsenal's bid for KJH was actually larger than AC Milan's, so I'm not quite sure how he ended up there. Maybe it was part of a larger trade deal for Kaka. *shrug*

Great, thanks! Interesting stuff, especially about Raf... the intricacies of international sports finance, oy vey.

Probably good news for him, though - even if it's a bad sign that his 'value has dropped', leaving for free could get him easily to a club/location where it's easy for Sylvie to get care and to keep the family together.

Hee! D'aww, Gio. Sometimes I wonder whether the boys *realize* just how adorable they're being.
