Last 10 years - Vertonghen , Alderweireld , Eriksen Before - Van Persie , Van Nistelrooy , Robben , Heitinga , Van Der Saar , Haselbaink , Kuyt , Staam , Bergkamp.

I said recent history, and those three you mentioned were hardly success in the Premier league if we were to evaluate their trophy cabinet.

Might have played in Scotland for a bit, but I wouldn't say the league is any better than the Eredivisie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just bc of difference quality but also the huge contrast in styles but a detour from NL to Scotland or France and then a move to a smaller PL club can remedy this. Can Dijk is a prime example. I doubt he would have made it if he had moved straight from Groningen to pool. Suarez for me is the real standout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The generalisation is something I was getting at; judge each player on their own merit. I think that has become an issue in the last decade or so. I guess the overall lack of quality has a lot to do with that. Edited November 17, 2021 by LAM09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
