De Boer backs Liverpool, Spurs target Van Nistelrooy for England return

Dutch legend Ronald de Boer has backed Real Madrid striker Ruud van Nistelrooy to make a successful return to the Premier League.

The Dutch striker has been linked with Liverpool and Tottenham after almost a year out of the Real Madrid side with a knee injury.<>
Van Nistelrooy hit 150 goals in 220 games for Manchester United and De Boer said: “A lot depends on how the injury has affected his mobility and his speed. If it’s the same, he can be very good. He’s a guy who will always score goals.”

van no more the man...u not gonna make any impact-go bacck 2 holland 4 greater impact

Ever since this possibility hit the newspapers in the summer I have been saying that it would be great business. If he is fit and up for it RVN would be the perfect impact sub, he would cost a lot less to buy than any other striker with a similar pedigree and if we were to get rid of ether Keane or Big Pav in January he would become the perfect bench warmer.
