Holland 1 Denmark 1
A goal by Ruud van Nisterlooy gave Holland the lead as the orenje played their 2nd last warm up before the Euro 2008. however, a schoolboy error by Mathijisen handed the Denmark side an equalising goal. Bendtner took advantage of the mistake and set up Poulsen for the equaliser. Orenje coach van Basten however was satisfied with his team's performances and refuse to blame any individuals for the goal.

Transfer News

Tottenham's search for a new goalkeeper continues as Nice goalkeeping prodigy Hugo Lloris has rejected offers from the club to join fellow french club Lyon. Lloris will replace Coupet as the club's no. 1. Spurs will have to look for other alternatives in the form of Kameni of Espanyol. They have however signed a wonderkid in Bostock of Crystal Palace.

Man Utd's Sir Alex has shown interest in Micah Richards, the highest earning player with £45,000 a week in the blue half of Manchester. He is said to be willing to fork out £20 million for his services in defence. Pique has left Man Utd for Barcelona for a sum of about £8 million.

Arsenal are closing in on French trio Chantanome, Nasri and Coquelin. Aresene Wenger has shown keen interest in Nasri especially as they hope to get the signature of the "new Zidane" for an estimated fee of £11 million. They are however already on the verge of getting another youth to join them, in the form of Hatem Ben Arfa of Lyon. Ben Arfa is the french league1 Young Player of the Year. Two other midfield dynamo linked with Arsenal is Roma's Aquilani and Barca's Yaya Troure. Meanwhile, Hleb however looks set to leave the Gunners for either Barcelona, Real Madrid or Inter Milan.

Liverpool are set to sell Alonso, who arrived in 2004 from Real Sociedad. Two clubs are intrested in him, being Real Madrid and Juventus. The price tag set by Rafa Benitez is £16 million. Skipper Gerrard has expressed his feelings that Gareth Barry should play for Liverpool. The two has been paired up in the midfield during the England vs Us game recently and showed much chemistry and understanding.

My Views on transfer speculation: The quick and agile Kameni would be a good replacement for Robinson and Coupet is a tried and tested stronghold guardian as well. Coupet would be a good short-term alternative for clubs in search for goalkeepers.

Nasri is a playmaker from Marseile and the club is willing to let him go if they meet the demands. Nasri is most likely to set foot on The Emirates as Wenger has shown interest in him for some time. Coquelin is also one who is to set foot on The Emirates as the 17-year-old is part of Wenger's youth policy.


Madrid would most probably be able to get the signature of Alonso as he would most probably prefer to play for a club in his own country. Alonso could make a great pair with Sneidjer in the heart of midfield.

Martin O'neill would find it hard to persuade his skipper to stay at Villa Park as Barry, at 27, surely deserve to play Champions League football. Gerrard and him has shown good chemistry in midfield as the former assisted Gerrard for a goal in the game US.

Micah Richards would be a great defender to have in the team as the 20 year old has greatly impressed in his perfomances. He was part of the team that managed to the double against Man Utd this season. Fergie would like to have him paired up with either Rio or Vidic as he would be able to rest either for important games.
