How would Ajax FC look like if it retained all its exports

Full-backs- Gregory van der Wiel (RB), Jan Vertonghen (LB)

Gregory van der Wiel is one of the most impressive modern day full-backs in the world today. His surging forward runs down the right flank resemble that of any Brazilian full back,much like Dani Alves. His pace coupled with superior technique and the ability to deliver pin-point crosses make him an extremely valuable asset to any side. Van der Wiel is also a regular in the Netherlands national team and was largely involved in the 2010 World Cup where his national side made it to the finals only to fall short in the end.

Jan Vertonghen has been linked with many top Premier League sides like Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United and why shouldn’t he be? He is an excellent example of the Ajax way of playing football as he can play multiple roles in a single game. Vertonghen is generally used as a left-sided central defender however, he can also play at left-back and even as a central defensive midfielder. Another attack-minded defender, the Belgian international loves moving forward whenever he can and also cover up in defence at the same time. He is an excellent player in central defence, though I personally would love to see him play at left back and play as an additional attacking outlet on the wings. His versatility is his biggest plus point and managers look for exactly that in today’s times with the competition becoming so demanding that every team needs to possess the extra edge over others which Vertonghen duly provides.
