Van Gaal slams Steinsson sale

 

 

AZ Alkmaar manager, Louis van Gaal, has slammed the sale of star player Gretar Steinsson after his side has conceded 17 goals in 5 games since the Icelander left to join Bolton.

 

 

?It was not my choice to sell Gretar. I dont make choices at the top, other people do, but my personal opinion was the we should have kept the player.

 

 

?Its been difficult because we?ve lost a mainstay in the defence. Gretar has been the best right back in Holland for over two years so we cant expect to replace him straight away and we have suffered from that,? said van Gaal

He looks a class act. Good with the ball, strong, quick, like to attack, good in the air. Great signing!

 

From Cahills debut the other day he also looks to be a very good signing. Done pretty well in the transfer window i think... apart from the lack of striker signing!

 

Other than that... Well Done Ginger Mourinho!!

Agree with all that.

 

He also gets forward that overlapping run against Fulham was awesome.

 

At last square peg square hole.

Will indeed but every "good song" has a relaunch once in a while.

 

Good timing for it, with Mixu being back in the limelight.

He's got no hair

but we don't care

David, David Lee

The lad looks class, teams have found it hard to score past us since his arrival, albeit we have only played Newcastle, Fulham and Reading but still the clean sheets have been rolling in.

Very refreshing to see us buy a good player who doesn't require the usual 6 months settling in period.

 

So which of the upcoming games is he gonna break his leg in ??

Hope its Blackburn away and it's not his leg he breaks.

 

Pity Mr. Savage has gone to Derby, shame we've played them twice already too!

Translated from Visir.is:

 

No one will keep me out of this team

 

Gretar Steinsson has made a solid start to his Premiership career with Bolton and he intends to keep it that way.

 

Steinsson did not need any period to bed in and since his arrival at the club had gotten great reviews for his performances.

 

?The football here does not revolved around the same things I am used to. In Holland the main thing was to keep the ball but over here its a lot more running and hassle. The hardest thing to get used to is all the running and I tend to get over the top in that aspect so I?ll need a fews days to recuperate,? said Gretar to Icelandic newspaper Fr?ttabla?i?.

 

?As soon as I arrived Megson told just to play my game as I used to do in Holland. The reason why Bolton bought me was because of my performances for AZ and they see no point in changing my style. Although I have to get used to the playing style at Bolton,? said Gretar.

 

Gretar went into the starting line up against Newcastle and hasn?t looked back since.

 

?I did not expect to go straight into the starting lineup and I thought I would have to prove myself in training to get the chance although I knew I was good enough to go staight into the starting lineup. I need to prove myself in every game and show the manager and supporers that I deserve to be in the team. I will not let anyone take my place away from me,? said Gretar.

 

?The team has done alright lately. The lads started badly at the start of the season but after the new manager came in things have been on the up. This team does not belong in a relegation sno profanities allowed. This is a good and strong club which belongs at the middle of the table at least,? says Gretar who intends to stay at Bolton even if the club gets relegated. ?I?ll be here next season no matter what happens. I have ambition and goals but I?ll stay here. Bolton is a great club to fulfill my ambition and goals,? said Gretar.

 

Do for me !!

Classy player without a doubt. Trouble is the big lads will already be taking notice of him. 9m in close season (a la Chimbonda down't road!?!). You know our board. "it made good business sense".

I liked the bit about staying if we go down.
