Hedwiges Maduro and Huntelaar need to be improved to reflect their current performances:thup:
Maduro should be made even worse than he is now, last season he was a substitute most of the season and hes not much of a player right now, highly overrated.

Are you joking? What league were you watching? Maduro was awesome for Ajax last season and was once of the main players for Holland in their U21's win. Last season Maduro played 24 times for Ajax and has already amassed 12 senior caps.
As for Huntelaar, his heading needs to be drastically improved, if you see him lately he scores mostly in the air.
Sebastian Giovinco (Juventus/Loaned to Empoli)- Heavily touted as the new Del Piero, he's been attracting a lot of attention recently (including a £10mil bid from CSKA Moscow), and is starting to really blossom as a player. I reckon he'll get a PA boost, and slightly better stats.
Alberto Aquilani - Despite an injury ravaged season, Aquilani has made himself indispensable in the Roma line-up, ans is strongly tipped to feature for the Azzurri this year. Italy's answer to Cesc Fabregas is a classy, creative and hard-working midfielder, with great vision and technique and a hell of a shot (as Palermo fans will testify). A PA boost (though not by much), and higher stats for creativity and long shost seem in order.
Marek Hamsyk (Napoli) - A graceful midfielder, famed for his mazy runs and graceful assists. He's already established himself as one of the hottest prospects around, but I reckon he'll be the one to watch on FM08

Before the U21 EC started everybody said this was the chance for Maduro to play himself back in the picture, which means he didnt play good last season..
As for his 12 senior caps, hes lucky van Basten was national team coach, why do you think de Zeeuw now has a first team place and Maduro hardly gets selected for the national team?

Firstly in the build up to the U21 EC's i never heard once that this was his chance to play himself back into the picture, it is fair to say that people in Holland were saying this is his time to prove himself because it can be argued that he didnt have the best of seasons last season, especially compared to how well he played in 05/06. As for your comments about van Basten, i think you ask most Dutch football fans about him and they will tell you they are glad he is coach as he is giving the youth a real chance to break through, something that Advocaat and Rijkaard before him neglected. Van Basten has said himself that Maduro is a big part of Hollands future and will eventually fit into the likes of Cocu and van Bommels shoes.
