Thats true, look at Van Dar Vaart, he is supposed to be a real arrogant tosser as well, the differeance with him is that he performs on the pitch, he has been stunning so far this season.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Ajax certainly has a lot of them, Ibrahimovic, Chivu, Van der Vaart, Hossam...
Johnny Heitinga's playing first team for them now, in central defence, next to Chivu, has been doing very well from what I've seen.
The thing about Dutch talents is that they are late bloomers when it comes to youth, their youth teams always look so crappy. Their U-20 team this year was an absolute joke. But the moment these players get first team oppertunities at their clubs, they improve in such a vast rate. I can't explain it, but it's something only that Dutch have. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that in Holland they only teach them ball-skills/passing/etc while at their youth so physically/tactically they are very raw so when they finally get into the first teams at their clubs, they improve at an advanced rate.
