the Tukkers.
“http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kenneth-Vermeer-c20618 will be our first choice goalkeeper for the upcoming season and it would be strange if he is not given the chance to play in the important match ahead of the 2011/12 campaign”, De Boer was quoted as saying to the media.
Reports indicate that Roma will pay the Amsterdammers 6 million Euros to acquire Stekelenburg’s signature.
