Pengganti De Gea ? (jika beneran pindah)

Sebagai salah satu penggemar Ajax Amsterdam (tapi tetap Manchester United yang utama) dan timnas Belanda, saya berharap Cillessen yang terpilih

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris could miss season opener against Manchester United after fracturing wrist

• Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris has fractured his wrist over the summer
• The France international faces a race to be fit for the start of the season
• Lloris has been linked with a move to Manchester United this summer
• Michel Vorm is currently Tottenham's second-choice goalkeeper

Hugo Lloris is in a race against time to be fit for the start of the season after returning to pre-season training with a broken wrist.

The France international reported back for pre-season training with his Tottenham team-mates on Monday - but his participation will be severely restricted due to the fracture.

There are fears Lloris could miss up to three months, which would rule him out of the opening weeks of the forthcoming campaign.

Spurs spent Monday trying to establish the seriousness of the fracture, and are keeping their fingers crossed for a quick recovery period.

Nevertheless, Lloris looks set to miss the curtain-raiser against Manchester United on August 8 at the very least.

Lloris will continue to report for pre-season training with the rest of Mauricio Pochettino’s squad.

However, the goalkeeper will not be able to complete any form of contact training until he’s given the all clear from medical staff, but will continue to work on his fitness.

The news could even have implications for Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal, who views Lloris as a contender to replace David De Gea, who is wanted by Real Madrid.

The injury may force the Dutch manager into re-evaluating his targets ahead of De Gea’s potential exit.

A Spurs statement confirmed: ‘The club can confirm that Hugo Lloris has sustained a fractured wrist during the close season period.

‘The France goalkeeper will continue to work alongside the First Team squad to build up his fitness in a bid to be ready for the start of the season.

‘Our medical team will continue to monitor his rehabilitation and progress during pre-season.’

Cari Ganti De Gea, MU Makin Dekat dengan Sergio Romero

Manchester United semakin dekat mendapatkan kiper Timnas Argentina, Sergio Romero dengan bebas transfer. Kehadiran kiper 28 tahun ini disebut akan menjadi pengganti David de Gea dan Victor Valdes yang akan segera hengkang.

Kiper utama MU, De Gea, sudah bukan rahasia lagi sedang diburu oleh raksasa Spanyol, Real Madrid. Kemungkinan besar, proses negosiasi akan usai sebelum jendela transfer ditutup.

Sedangkan kiper kedua, Victor Valdes, dipastikan akan dibuang jauh-jauh setelah mengecewakan pelatih Louis van Gaal. Mantan kiper Barcelona tersebut dikabarkan berseteru dengan bos karena tak mau dimainkan bersama tim reserve.

Sergio Romero disebut akan datang ke Old Trafford karena tawaran gaji yang sangat menarik. Menurut laporan yang dilansir Metro, United akan memberikan gaji 1,3 juta poundsterling per musim ditambah bonus lainnya.

MU dianggap sudah menang dalam merebutkan Sergio Romero. Sebab, penjaga gawang Argentina ini juga dilirik oleh AS Roma.

Everything you need to know about Manchester United target Jasper Cillessen
18 June 2015 - Priya Ramesh [fourfourtwo.com]

The Ajax keeper is hotly tipped to replace David de Gea at Old Trafford this summer, but should he? Priya Ramesh provides the lowdown...

The 60-second story

Jasper Cillessen rose to prominence last summer when he broke the internet twice during the World Cup – but neither occasion for his goalkeeping abilities. Hence, most non-Eredivisie watchers vaguely remember the 26-year-old as the unfortunate foil for Tim Krul’s penalty-saving prowess that saw the Dutch go through on penalties against Costa Rica. Or as the comic figure that was casually squatting near his goal post in the third-place play-off against a battered Brazil side, consequently causing Twitter to put its collective creative skills to use and trend #JasperCillessenSitsOnThings.

However, Cillessen’s ‘reputation’ from the World Cup doesn't reflect the entire story of him as a goalkeeper. The Dutchman has been the best keeper in the Eredevisie for two seasons now. He's only 26 but can be considered a late bloomer in today’s context when most players start peaking at 23. A youth product of NEC Nijmegen, he played in Gelderland for 10 years before leaving for the capital, voted the region’s best player in the 2010/11 season.

At Ajax, Cillessen had a baptism of fire, making his league debut for the Amsterdam club in De Klassieker against fierce rivals Feyenoord in September 2011. He came on as a substitute when Kenneth Vermeer had been sent off only five minutes after Feyenoord opened the scoring. Cillessen characteristically kept calm and held fort to help Ajax secure a 1-1 draw.

However, it would be 24 more months before he really broke through. With Vermeer’s form dropping by each game at the start of the 2013/14 season, Frank de Boer finally displaced the now-Feyenoord man with Cillessen. One immaculate season as Ajax’s No.1 was enough to not only catch Louis van Gaal’s eye and seal a place in the World Cup squad, but even be made first choice for his country.

To say the 2014/15 season was bad for Ajax side is an understatement – they finished a whopping 17 points behind champions PSV – but on a personal level, Cillessen proved his skill. He was undoubtedly their most important player, keeping them in many games and regularly preventing further humiliation.

Why you need to know him

As David de Gea flirts with Real Madrid, Manchester United seem to be looking for a goalkeeper either to directly replace the Spaniard or to fight with Victor Valdes. According to reports, Van Gaal asked his goalkeeping coach Frans Hoek to write a list of goalkeepers that United should be interested in. Hoek named Cillessen as one of his top choices. Of course, this is hardly surprising given that it was Hoek who, weeks before the 2014 World Cup, suggested to Van Gaal that Cillessen should be the No.1 ahead of Michel Vorm and Krul.

Last season, Cillessen’s importance to Ajax was almost identical to that of De Gea's at United. Both clubs ended their season trophyless yet both qualified for the Champions League play-off round with less-than-impressive defences. Both keepers were named their club’s Player of the Year – and were extremely easy choices. Even if United choose to overlook Cillessen this summer, it's inevitable a club from one of Europe’s top leagues will try to prise the Dutchman away from Amsterdam sooner rather than later.

Strengths

Cillessen is an all-round goalkeeper who is very comfortable with the ball at his feet and has fine reflexes. The 26-year-old is also extremely vocal in his box, and being a senior figure in this fledgling Ajax squad, he commands his defence well. Although he is relatively short for a keeper at 6ft 1in, Cillessen is rather comfortable with aerial balls and has quite a presence in set-piece situations.

Against Vitesse last season, the speedy Bertrand Traore was racing towards goal and Cillessen was drawn out from his goal-line. Instead of retreating back, he closed in on the Chelsea loanee and recovered the ball from the attacker's feet with a tackle that even the very best defenders would be proud of.

Cillessen fancies himself as an 11th outfielder, which fits in perfectly with Van Gaal’s desires for a goalkeeper. He sometimes makes fans’ hearts jump to their mouths with risky manoeuvres and feints at the back, but rest assured, he has composure on the ball, as Gonzalo Higuain found out last summer.

Cillessen’s shot-stopping has been extremely consistent for the last two seasons. He seems to like the biggest fixtures too, and put in a sensational performance in De Klassieker early on last season. It was probably Ajax’s worst performance against Feyenoord in many years, but for their goalkeeper. Most notably, Mitchell te Vrede’s 92nd-minute header seemed destined to hit the back of the net but Cillessen was having none of it, pulling off a phenomenal point-blank punch to ensure Ajax got all three points.

That was anything but an anomalous display, as Ajax were kept in games time and again by their over-worked net-minder. A triple save in a man-of-the-match performance against Legia Warsaw, and one-on-one blocks from Andres Iniesta and Luis Suarez efforts all featured in Cillessen’s highlights reel.

Weaknesses

The glaring one is already well-documented: Cillessen and penalties are not good friends. He's still never saved a spot-kick in his career and the only video on YouTube of him doing so is for a Dutch TV show. This reputation will unfortunately precede him until he actually makes a save, and he will be hoping it’s not too far off from now. In addition, although Cillessen is good at handling crosses, he does have a propensity to punch the ball away from danger. While this may go unpunished in the Eredivisie, against better attackers and instinctive finishers, that will not be the case.

They said…

Edwin van der Sar: "I hope United aren't getting him. Luckily I have some influence on that part, being on the board of Ajax. But, of course, Jasper is a fantastic goalkeeper. In the winter break I went to Qatar for a week and trained with the goalkeepers there. He has improved immensely. He played great for the Dutch national team in the World Cup and is, like David [de Gea], a very reliable goalkeeper for us in Amsterdam. We would like to keep him for a while." Frank de Boer: "He’s one of the few who has run a very good and consistent season… he is actually the only one. Conceding the fewest goals (in the league) means something. Of course he doesn't do it alone, but Cillessen is not only a goalkeeper, he is also a leader of the backline. Can he reach the level of Edwin van der Sar and Manuel Neuer? I think he can get very close."

Did you know?

After the World Cup, Cillessen’s hometown of Groesbeek held a special ceremony for him being the first player from the town to represent Oranje at the World Cup. His full name is Jacobus Antonius Peter Cillessen, and if you think that sounds Roman, it's because Groesbeek was once part of the Roman Empire.

What happens next?

The Manchester United interest was first reported in May by the reliable De Telegraaf, and it does seem logical for the Reds to be interested in him. Of course, there are and will always be sceptics about players coming from the Eredivisie, and people wondering whether he is good enough for Manchester United. It's rarely an easy call with goalkeepers.

In Valdes, United already have a solid replacement for De Gea and a lot might come down to how much Van Gaal is convinced that the Spaniard can ably step up to fill De Gea’s boots should he leave. Ultimately, though, Cillessen would be a relatively cheap buy, has experience working with Van Gaal and Hoek, and is used to playing higher up from his line having been moulded in the Ajax system.

This transfer would be a more significant step up for him in his career than Hugo Lloris or Petr Cech, for example. Current United No.2 Valdes is already 33 and Cillessen, potentially given a season to adjust to England, could offer a more long-term solution.

However, the 26-year-old himself has said he "didn't sign a new contract with Ajax for nothing" and expects to focus on his current club. But as Daley Blind proved last summer and Frank de Boer admitted recently, if there is a sum of money on the table that tempts Ajax, circumstances could easily change.

Sebenernya ane sendiri nggak terlalu sreg sama Cillessen. Alasannya sih sebenernya sepele, dia tidak terlihat kokoh sebagai kiper. De Gea di awal karir di United emang kurus, tapi saat ini badannya dah lebih berisi dan terlihat kokoh. Nah klo Cillessen ini kelihatan kurus. Ibarat badan seperti Van Der Saar tapi tingginya De Gea, jadi kelihatan agak ringkih untuk ukuran kiper. Klo masalah skill sih nggak tau, nggak pernah nonton Ajax dan sedikit nonton Belanda di piala dunia.

Sebernarnya Cillessen ini berhasil menarik perhatian Van Gaal karena tanpa diduga saat diberi kesempatan tampil penampilannya jauh lebih bagus dari Kenneth Velmer, kiper utama Ajax dan Belanda saat itu, padahal Cillessen sendiri adalah kiper cadangan Ajax. Bahkan saat pelatnas Piala Dunia 2014, Velmer malah tersisih dan tidak ikut dalam skuad Belanda. Nah uniknya Velmer itu kabarnya musim lalu hendak direkrut Van Gaal sebagai pelapis De Gea tapi batal karena Velmer ingin tampil reguler agar kesempatan kembali ke timnas Belanda lebih besar.


Penampilan Cillessen sendiri memang mengingatkan kepada sosok VDS, bedanya VDS mungkin lebih tinggi dan jam terbangnya cukup banyak. Saya rasa Cillessen adalah kandidat terbaik pengganti De Gea

Antisipasi De Gea, United Segera Datangkan Cillessen

Sebagai upaya antisipasi kepergian David De Gea dari Old Trafford, pihak Manchester United dilaporkan sudah hampir merealisasikan proses transfer penjaga gawang Ajax Amsterdam, Jasper Cillessen, menurut laporan Sky Sport News. Kiper 26 tahun tersebut dinilai mampu menggantikan De Gea yang tampil bagus di bawah gawang United musim lalu.

Cillessen merupakan mantan anak asuh manajer The Red Devils sekarang, Louis van Gaal di tim nasional Belanda saat melakoni turnamen Piala Dunia Brasil tahun 2014 lalu. Dalam ajang empat tahunan tersebut, ia tampil cukup baik mengawal gawang tim Oranje.

Sementara itu, hengkangnya De Gea yang semakin gencar diberitakan, membuat Van Gaal bergerak cepat untuk mencari seorang pengganti di posisi penjaga gawang. Sebelumnya, pelatih 63 tahun itu juga dikabarkan mengincar kiper tim nasional Argentina, Sergi Romero.

Sementara itu, Cillessen sendiri sempat mengatakan jika ia tidak terlalu menanggapi segala rumor yang diberitakan terkait minat Van Gaal kepada dirinya.

"Tentu, saya mendengar sejumlah kabar tentang itu di media. Tapi saya menjauhkan diri saya dari kabar-kabar tersebut dan sebenarnya saya tidak mendengar itu dari agen. "Saya memiliki hubungan yang sangat baik di Ajax. Saya nyaman di sini," bebernya beberapa waktu yang lalu.

Cillessen merupakan pemain asli binaan akademi NEC Nijmegen. Ia kemudian hijrah ke Ajax pada tahun 2011 dan langsung menjadi pilihan utama menggantikan peran Martin Stekelenburg yang hengkang ke AS Roma pada tahun tersebut.

Sergio Romero Segera Tes Medis di MU

Mantan kiper Sampdoria, Sergio Romero, hanya tinggal beberapa langkah lagi resmi bergabung dengan Manchester United.

Sky Italia mengatakan bahwa Romero akan menjalani tes medis untuk segera menjadi bagian dari United.

Kesepakatan hampir tercapai dengan pemain Argentina tersebut untuk membuatnya bermain di Old Trafford.

Roma dan Real Madrid sebelumnya juga tertarik dengan jasanya, namun Louis van Gaal sepertinya sudah memenangkan perburuan tanda tangan pemain berusia 28 tahun.

Ia akan menggantikan Victor Valdes sebagai kiper kedua tim, usai pemain Spanyol dipermalukan dengan mendapat kritik terbuka dari Van Gaal di awal pekan ini.
