It's not just Louis van Gaal who's feeling mischievous in the aftermath of the Netherlands' final World Cup game. Robin van Persie has been playing around with the assembled press too:

RVP, laughing, on potential Dutch signings: 'I'll admit that I know a little bit more than you sometimes, but I can't say anything!' — Elko Born (@Elko_B) July 12, 2014

He's talking about Arjen Robben. He's definitely talking about Robben.

... or is it Stefan de Vrij? Daley Blind? Nigel de Jong? Or Jasper Cillessen, Michel Vorm, Tim Krul, Ron Vlaar, Bruno Martins Indi, Daryl Janmaat, Joël Veltman, Terence Kongolo, Jonathan de Guzmán, Wesley Sneijder, Jory Clasie, Leroy Fer, Georginio Wijnaldum, Memphis Depay, Dirk Kuyt, Jeremain Lens or Klaas-Jan Huntelaar?

Sorry, Paul Verhaegh, it's probably not you.

Whoever he's talking about, it certainly sounds promising. Though the rumours have cooled over a prospective Dutch arrival this summer, expect the mill to start grinding again over the next few days.
